LAKE MICHIGAN ALWAYS OPEN.
How 1t II Rendered Navigable All
the Year Around.

How 1t II Rendered Navigable All
the Year Around.
Navigation on Lake Michigan is never
closed. Steamers run back and forth
across the lake and between the ports
of the west shore of the lake during the
entire winter with remarkable regular
ity. The first attempts at winter navi-
cation on the translake routes were
made by the Detroit & Milwaukee Rail-
road company and by the now defunct
Engelmann Transportation company
MANY years ago. and the success of win
ter ventures became established as the
character of the steamers was improved
and developments were made in marine
enginery. Now winter navigation pro-
cceds almost uninterruptedly, and the
new car ferries steam back and forth
with little regard for weather or for
ice. The SUCCESS of the car ferries on
Lake Michigan and the car ferry which
deties winter in the Straits of Mackinac
IS E:ob"L;y the cause of the announce
ment that negotiations are in progress
looking to the construction =, of ice
breaking freight steamers that will en-
able T. - owners to keep them in COM
M ssi-:. IN the Lake Superior and lower
lake route during the winter. The re-
port is without foundation.
There is Il vast difference between
the navigation Of Lake Michigan from
one shore TO the other, and along it's
west sho'c. and the navigation of the
greet lakes throughout their lengths
and through the interlake channels. Ice
breaking is expensive. and occasionally
the ice foes defy the crushing powers of
the best Of the so-called ice breakers.
One OF the car ferries was recently
stalled by Il foe near Menominee, which
defied not only the steamer, but the
explosive. power of dynamite. The
trouble of winter navigation on the
chain of lakes would occur in the inter-
lake channels and in the canals. Ow-
ing to the clogging effects of the ice it
would be almost impossible to operate
canals during midwinter.
Another and very serious bar to
general lake'navigation in winter is the
prevalence of snowstorms, during
which nothing whatever can be seen.
Snow is more obstructive to the sight
than fog. and during driving snow
storm it is impossible to see anything
ahead, even in the daytime. Winter
navigators on Lake Michigan, who are
never out OF sight of land for any great
length Of time. experience their chief
annoyance from the snowstorms. They
manage to steam into port when snow
is flying thick, because of their famil-
iarity with the route, but they occa-
sionally get into trouble while they are
wrapped in "the tumultuous privacy Of
the Storm" ....::~. - -
It does not follow, by any means, that
because winter navigation is success
full on Lake Michigan it can be made
successful in the upper and lower lake

New York, July 13.-The healthy dis
position of the security market today
evinced by notable and widely distrbut-
ed advances especially in the coalers, in
dustrials and gilt-edged investment
stock was due to various influences of
general effect. The coalers easily re-
sponded with a rise extending to 2 per
cent in Lehigh Valley ON the election of
officers and directors known to be ac-
ceptable to the controlling interests in
other properties and to the harmony IN
expected to result. The judicial
' on of the proposed inquiry INTO
the Anthracite trade under the antitrust
law, enacted by the last New York legis-
lature, not only had good effect on the
coalers, but strengthened the whole in
dustrial group. Today Washington ru-
mors continued favorable to refining in
terests to the effect, that a compromise
suggested pleasing to the company would
likely be agreed upon by the conference.
The result was that sugar scored another
high record price touching 1877 7-S, or
nearly 3 points above yesterdays close.
The fluctuations in Sugar were most err
ratio and attended by heavy covering
of shorts. Hesitation ensued and then
there was increased activity and
strength. The transactions in the stock
comprised Il fourth of the total trans
actions in all stocks, over 10000 shares
being sold. After Il mOmentary decline
at the opening the stock sold up rs
per cent above Yesterdays close, reacted
Is per cent and then partly recovered,
closing at Il point advance over ycster-
day. Chicago Gas ruled strong. Good
crop and good weather advices bettered
the Changers sharp fraction. North
west preferred and Delaware and Hud-
son gained 2 points each, Susquehanna
and Western preferred rose Is. Other
stocks which recorded gains of point
or more were Tobacco, New Jersey Cen
trail, Reading first preferred, Reading sec
ond preferred, Minnesota and st. Louis
seconds preferred, Pullman, Rio Grande
Western, Spirits preferred, Leather pre-
ferred and Oregon Short Line. The clos
ing was strong and generally ut best
prices which were above yesterdays
close in cases not specified above.
Marked exceptions were Brooklyn
Rapid Transit and Des Moines and Fort
Dodge which closed 3-4@1 IA per cent
respectively lower. Considerable strength
was displayed among a few of the in
dustrial mortgages, but the general mar
ket also displayed an improved tone on
moderate purchases. Business was some
what more general in the low priced
securities with some recently reorganized
property assuming prominence. Sales.

New YORK..

New York, July 13.-Cotton opened
quiet but firm at net advance of Sol
points, further advanced 204 points, par
TALLY reacted, but closed firm at net adj
vance of 13d17 points, with total sales of
II, 400 bales. The early advance was due
to better class of cable news than had
been expected, leading to covering on fears
of an over large short interest while early
crop accounts were very conflicting. The
market subsequently eased off partly on
the appearance of the weekly and wealth
er crop, but soon rallied and closed at the
highest on shorts covering.
