When the steamboat C. II. Eortham left her
dock at Peck slip on Wednesday evening sho

Thanksgiving after one more year of exploiting
the Dutch OF the Manhattoes. When the pas
sengers woke mp yesterday morning the boat
was at anchor in the fog, 1t had got no further
than Twenty-sixth street in the East River.
A little tug steamed alongside nt g o'clock. and
some one sang out through the fog that he
would take the passengers ashore for % cents q
head. There was n scramble. and In n minute
enough people clambered down to tho tug to
ill IT. $500.
Then the tugboat man got in his work. I'm
have to land at Long Island City, he said to
the crowd.

ferryboats don't run from there We will be In u

The tuRboat man hesitated, az II he had not
thought IL ali out before, and finally announced:
Well, ri take you to New York for 26 cents
extra all around"
They submitted, and were landed at Twenty
third street at & 80 O'Clock. The tug made now

Dtreets. Rivers. and Bay EnguIEed while
the Sun Lighted tho Lofty Roof.
A southerly zephyr and the ghost of tho cold
wave that recently stopped q few days in this
neighborhood formed q conspiracy yesterday
morning to bother navigators In bay and
rivers. The zephyr blew on the cool surface of
water and land. and under tho magic of it's
warm breath there arose a tenuous structure of
mist that might BIO likened to the gray founda-
tion OF an air castle, as there was ator OF It,
above the highest stories OF the biggest once
buildings, nothing but the clearest sunlit air.
Down on the sidewalks and on the bay and
rivers nobody would have suspected that tho
sun had not been put out. 1t was shining
brightly enough on Trinity steeple, but there
were very few people up there to appreciate It's
radiance. All the tall towers and steeples
jutted out OF the grayness like buoys or dere-
liots on n placid sea. 1t was q very thick fog.

Ferryboats had a lively time lodging ono an

Sometimes they struck the bull's-eye and some
times they hit the pier head. They were navi-

Marine Trades organizing, but the Strike
Seems . Long Way on.
Edward McHugh, the organizer of the Inter-
national Federation of Marine and River Trades
of England, addressed q largo meeting OF long
shoremen at tho American line dock, foot Of
West Houston street, yesterday afternoon. He
will hold another meeting at the American
limo dock early this afternoon. and later will
address n meeting of 'longshoremen in Hoboken.
Two policemen are usually sent by the Police
Department to stay around when he notifies
the department that he is going to hold an out
door meeting. He has acquired great influence
among the longshoremen on the river fronts of
the east and west sides already and many Of
them are as enthusiastic about the union a.
they were npathetio about It when he arrived
here.
The agents of the Hamburg line say that they
do not believe there is the remotest danger Of o
strike here at present in sympathy with the
Hamburg strikers. There was q report yester-
day that a number of people who came here

McHuRh in organizing the 'longshoremen, said
yesterday that all the marine trades are to DO
organized as soon as practicable. The National
Seamen's Union takes in a chain OF subordinate
unions. The Atlantic Coast seamen,s Union
phia. aud Providence. The Pacific Coast Sea-
mems Union has branches at San Francisco,
Seattle. Port Townsend, San Pedro. San Diego,
Nanimo, and Eureka. There is a seamen'c
union at Vancouver.
The Great Lakes Seamen's Union has branches
at Chicago. Milwaukee. and Buffalo. and a Gulf
Coast branch has been established at New
Orleans. All these are AFFILIATED with the Ma
tional Seamen's Union. The lumber showers of
Chicago and the coal trimmers of Philadelphia
are to be organized. The ringers and sail
makers are organized here. and It is proposed to
organize those trades as we'll Ak the ship car
%penters. calkers. and ship joiners In the ports
where they have no unions at present.
Both McHugh and Williams say that no strike
is being thought of at present, and McHuRh Is
not talking strike to the men. Both say that
organization 10 their object now, and that there
may never. be an international strike OF tho
marine trades. There is a movement in Europe,
however, in favor of an international strike
when all the marine trades are organized. This
would put such q strike q long way ahead.

it will be seen that the highest price
was in 1873 India was not then
q serious competitor, and that
period covers an abnormal demand
following the crop failures IN west
ern Europe, and the Turco-Russian
a In the next period, there was
a return Of normal conditions, and
with India's appearance as an i'm
port factor there ls a drop Of SIX
teen cents per bushel. The next
period marks the first important
appearance of Argentine, and the
drop OF three cents would have
been greater but for the Russian
crop failure of 1891.
The drop Of 20.5 cents in the
last period, the fall which has so
burdened our wheat growers and
which yet rests upon them, needs
no explanation. The table speaks
COR itself. Argentine, from u
country almost unknown to wheat
merchants, sprang ut n bound
into the front rank, and her ship
ments for those years average 49,
0O0, 900 bushels, and in n year of
the three eouslled 60, 600, 900. This
sudden deprivation Of the older
countries of so large a share Of their
market, without any chance for u
corresponding reduction in their
own exportable surplus, Is respon-
sible for the present position Of the
wheat trade of the world.

clear to you that the price of wheat,

the leading agricultural papers of the United

Of silver to prices Of our products. Mr.. Snow
has made a careful study OF these subjects for
many years, and the fact that he held an i'm

of his judgment and the reliability and accur.

should not only read this letter carefully, but
see that his %neigbbors read il.
