COMMERCE DETERIORATING.
ONLY ONE TUe5oAT DURING GEN.
ERhL TOWING.

Gut OF a Fleet of Hatf-a-dOKen Transient
Towboats, Only One Remains ana It is
Not Busy-Oiaudis,. mblsr, % rsoIe and
FidEet Practically Dead.
Another powerful argument for
speedy development OF q road to the
river" said an Interested shipping man
to day, 'is the detoriorsted commerce Of
Wilmington on the Christiana. 1t is
practically a dead letter"
With that the speaker related interest.
ing facts concerning the unfortunate
downfall Of towboat business and
shipping interests, caused chiefly by the
little creeks filing up and developing
dangerous bars and shoal places that
have crippled the whole business.
Ont OF whole feet OF towboats thriv-
ing on the ChristianR in 1890 there Is at
present only one tug doing general tow
ing The tug Martha, controlled by the
Charles Warner Company, Is doing
general creek work for transient trade
and sometimes she hasn't enough oft TO
do TO keep her machinery limbered up.
The Rambler, formerly one OF the
busiest of tug boats, Is now tied up at
at the Diamond State wharves and
Captain Q. W Brink, her master. de
cl lres that there is really not enough
work to keep one tug going. The
tow boat Claudia has practically gone
out OF existence, the Creole is nailed up
at her wharf, the Rambler is idle aud
will probably be sold, and the Fidgel
has been sold to Philadelphia shipping
men,
Five years ago several tugs were
engaged In towing sailing vessels up the
creek with wood for the Delaware Mills
(pulp works) Constantly increasing
danger to loaded vessels IN navigating
that stream has removed that business
entirely from the shipping interest and
placed It IN the h nds Of the various
railroad companies.
Then, too, is the continued depression
IN the business of the Harlan and Hol-
lingsworth Company and the Pusey snd
Jones Company, confessedly because
thsse big firms are handicapped In their
competition with other shipbuilders by 9
shallow water frontage. The shipbuild
ing business here now Is nothing in com
psrison to that Of even FIVE years ago
Superintendent McCausland's threl
tugboats do very little general towing
because they are constantly occupied
with the w. & N. Company's trausportR-
tion business. The tug Meteor's entirI
energies must be confined to the regular
packet work Of the Charles Warner Com
pany.
Thus, OF the fset OF half dozen active
pufflrg tugboats OF 1890 there Is only
one doing general to wing to-day.
