Barges in the Southern Trade.

! GALVESTON, TEXAS, Dec. 20, 1896 The
steamer G.. W. Pride arrived here to-day
with the barge Ocean Belle in tow from Bal
timore. 1t is the longest distance cargo of
coal has ever been towed by a tug-1 800
miles, The barge Atlas and steamer Shaw
NUT are loading cotton here for Boston
A few years ago when Morse & Co. began
to wing coal around Cape Cod seafariug men
said it could not be done. There are at the
present time some 2S0 sea-going baryes tow
ing coal, besides the numerous barpes in in
land waters.
Last June the barge Forest Belle was
chartered to load railroad ties for New York
This was an experiment and there we're
many difficulties to contend with. The tug
had to wait for the barge to load making an
extra expense of 800, and most of the sea-
faring men decided that the venture would
prove a failure. The trip was a success,
however, and the barge did better than
when carrying coal. The Forest Belle is
on her fourth trip and two other barges have
been chartered, which gives the tug bust
ness all the time. AS soon as she arrives
there is barge ready for her to take away.
These three barges are chartered by the
Georgia Lumber Company, and carry lum-
Der at a less rate than sailing vessels. This
gives to lumber shippers by barges an adj
vantage of 40 cents per thousand over those
shipping by sailing vessels.
Any clear-headed man can see that sailing
vessels must go out of the lumber trade
eventually Or carry lumber at less rates. At
the present time there are few barges suit
able for the lumber trade Most Of the ships
that have been cut down draw too much
water, and most of the built barges have no
sails and carry no deckload. The Ocean
Belle and Forest Belle are the o:ly harges
that have been built suitable for the South
ern lumber trade. The Forest Belle carries
1900 m of yellow pine on Is feet draft, and
the Ocean Belle 600 IN. on the same draft
More barges will shortly be built for the
Southern lumber trade, and it is only a
question of short time when the carrying
trade from the South will be principally
done by barges From the Gulf ports it
could not be made profitable with a tug
Here steamer is required. A steamer car
rying 1000 tons can tow barge of the same
capacity and only make a difference of a
few days. A BARGE MAN.
