THE AUSTRIAN WAS IMPRESSED
How the First Glimpse of Cervera's
Submarine Fleet Affected Him

A story Is told by Captain Taylor of the
Indiana Of an incredulous Austrian naval
officer who arrived on the scene Of the San
tiago battle after the fun was all over in
that Austrian warship that was at first be-
lieved to be another Spanish target for the
American guns. When the dark lines of
the approaching warship were seen hull
down on the horizon, Captain Taylor was
one of the first to make for her. The Indi-
ana wasfblack and grimy from the swab-
bling of guns. The ship was filled with
powder smoke, pilot house, coming tower,
captains cabin and hold. There was every
Indication of battle. Captain Taylor
himself stood in uniform trousers and his
naval cap. Some Of his fellow officers de-
clare that the remainder of his makeup on
this occasion was a satisfied SMILE At any
rate the captain was at his post Of duty on
the bridge, while the engine room force
below was crowding on all steam. The
gunners, just through with the flower of
Spain's fleet, were standing by on this I'M
known enemy. Visions of the Cadiz fleet
were before the eyes of the blockaders,
who had just turned one victory, and all
smelt battle, and Of battle, too. The In
diana made for the stranger with rush.
AS the Austrian colors went UP to the
main OF the ship, there was a grunt of dis
appointment all around. The two ships
presently came to q standstill not far dis
tant from each other. A boat was seen to
put out from the Austrian and was soon
alongside the Indiana's gangplank with a
lieutenant setn on board to exchange greet
inss with the American commander and
to ask the news Of the struggle with Spain
The lieutenant was conducted to the cap
tain's cabin, emazement written on every
line of his face. He looked first at the
decks and then at the begrimed crews and
the officers all wet with Precipitation and
delightfully."- dirty. The powder smoke in
the cabin stified him. His ship was too far
away during the fight to hear anything
but distant rumble-a rumble like the

The Nicotine Supply

American Tobacco company's common
stock has been the interesting feature of
this weeks stock market, while develop
ments In connection with new comb.na-
ton of plug tobacco manufacturers 1ur-
nishes the most important items concern
ing industrial corporations. This latter
deal, to give 1t the title by which such
transactions are commonly KNOWN IN
wolves, 1t seems, the formation or a new
company under the title Of The Continent
al Tobacco company, which, says Brad
streets, will acquire the plants and bust
ness Of a number Of leading western to-
bacco manufactures. The American To-
bacco company is to be largely interested
in the scheme, and its plug tobacco inter-
ests are to be put into the new organiza-
ton, which, 1t Is understood, Is to be man
aged independently by officers and d.
rectors selected from among the owners
of the concerns which have Joined the new
organization. There have been many con-
flicting reports on the subject and not a
little mystery so that details of an explicit
kind cannot be given, nor Is 1t possible
to state with accuracy what amounts OF
cash have been necessary to acquire some
OF the properties. 1t Is understood. how
ever, that ample funds have been sup.
piled by a financial syndicate of great
strength, and the prospective Continental
company Is expected to take high place
among prosperous industrial corporations.
The fact that the owners Of one large
works, that Of Liggett & Myers, have re-
fused to sell or become part Of the pro-
posed trust" is a noteworthy circum-
stance in this connection.
While it Is presumed that the plug to-
bacco combination will benefit the Amer
lean Tobacco company, both directly
through Its participation in the ownership
of the Continental company and indirectly
through the lessening Of competitive price
cutting for all forms of manufactured to-
bacco, 1t seems somewhat remarkable that
the announcement of the deal should have
been the signal for the sharp decline in
American Tobacco stocks. Selling, as 1t
recently has, at 1853, the market price has
broken within about week to 1875. This
movement was accompanied by heavy
selling, which led Wall street to the con-
clusion that large speculative interests
had liquidated holdings of American To-
bacco' stock upon the news that the new
combination had been successfully COM
pleted. This Is not altogether a new pro-
ceeding in the market. where the consum-
nation Of any long-expected favorable
event is considered signal for the realiz-
ing of profits and for a recession of prices
At all events the break in Tobacco stocks
this week was sufficiently severe and sud-
den to create a rather demoralized tend
ency in the entire industrial group of
stocks. The latter. in fact, though re-
spending to improved conditions In gen.
eral business and prospective increases Of
earnings and dividends, has been largely
under manipulative influences of a specu-
lative kind, rendering them liable to such
a recession as the drop in Tobacco shares
has just produced.

September Trade Review


r. G. Dun Co.'s monthly review of
trade conditions for September in South
ern California says For the month of Sep
tember favorable business conditions were
maintained throughout the country, and
the bank clearing returns for the first week
Of October show gratifying gain over the
same week of last year. The condition of the
great staples Is one Of sustained strength
The iron and steel trade continues to ex-
pand. The textile industries are IN the least
satisfactory condition. and both cotton and
WOODEN mills are disposed to wait future
developments. From foreign commerce
September registers another heavy bal
ance on merchandise and specie in favor of
this country. In our immediate district
there Is little change in business conditions
to note. There is nothing new in the bar
ley market; the bean market shows added
strength. The walnut crop will be moving
by the middle Of the month The crop to-
tails up about 5000 tons. but the excessive
heat and lack of water In some localities
Will lower the average quality, throwing
an unusually large proportion into the sec
ond grade. Prices are firm at combine
prices. The shortness OF the almond crop
has affected prices of old stock, causing
advances from cents to ~ cents, Oranges
and lemons still move slowly, prices steady.
Most estimates Of the new crop fall below
the volume Of that of last season; the deficit
reported being in seedlings more than ma
vels. Any intention the railroad may have
had to Increase car-lot weight of orange
and lemon shipments seems to have been
abandoned much to the satisfaction of the
shippers. The lower rates on olives and
olive oil will help that industry more next
year than this, If rates are maintained, on
account Of the light output this year. The
condition Of the dried fruit market re-
mains unchanged. The demand Is active,
fruit scarce. prices are maintained. Rails
ms bring full figures, with a tendency to
higher prices. The new crop Is beginning
to move. Locally, conditions are satisfac-

A Shipbuilding Move

Among other reports to which the past
week has given rise Is one Of peculiar in
terest in regard to the shipbuilding indus
try of the country. 1t Is to the effect that
a large plant of that character is to be
erected upon New York bay or the adjacent
waters, and that Andrew Carnegie is at
the head Of the movement 1t will be re-
called that early in the present year Mr..
Carnegie, in published letter, pointed out
the advantages which New York offered
for the institution Of such an industry
owing to the low transportation rates at
which the steel material for modern steam
chip construction could be brought from
the west and laid down at shipyards in or
near New York. At that time, however,
Mr.. Carnegie stated that his own interests
precluded his giving attention to an enter
prise or this character, though 1t is claimed
tnat as the great steel manufacturing con-
Germ or which he is the head has now OBJ
tanned the right to use the new Kruppized
steel armor In the United States, q reason
Is furnished for his embarking in such a
scheme. 1t is claimed that by the Krupp
process six-inch armor can be rendered
more impenetrable than seventeen-inch
armor under the old process, thereby su-
perseding the old method of preparing
steel for the defense of modern warshins
