These firms have invested their money in

Merchants Hurt by Delay.
'Unluestionably some Of me mershan-

The American Huzahan Steamship
Company announced several months ago
that vessel of the hne would sail from
here early in July for San Francico and
Houdslu. Shipping houses hsre rsceived
orders from customers on tn. Pacific coast
and in Hawaii to purchase certain soocs
and ship them by the new lima The pu-
chases we're rade with the idea elat yes-
sci would be sent as stated. Had the
vessel sailed on or about the date origin
all announced. I think it was July !. the
hcific coast firms would have Feceivsd
their goods in September. 1t Is Hov ap-
preaching ,thc middle of Octoker and the
goods have not yet left South Brooklyn.
Af the merchants out on the Pacific re-
ceive their eastern purchases by Christ
mas they can consider thamselxes lucky.
Poor Excuse for Delay.

that the delay was sRnsed BY the failure
II the builders of one Of IL saeels 10

fed That is a poor excuse.
when the steamship company found
that the ship builders were behind in their
work why was not vessel chartered?
This had to be done in the end and it
could have been dons in July just rs
easily as at tho present time.
Il have Tot the slightest doubt but that
matters will work smoothly after while,
and tina, the company will give inst
class service, but know Of number OF
cases where this delay has left a sore
spot"
At the present time it is estimated that
there are between ego and 1000 tons Of
merchandise on the steamship company's
pier in South Brooklyn awaiting removal
To Pacific Coast ports and to Honolnu.
All Of this accumulated cargo. il in said.
will be taken on the steamship Hyades.
which is scheduled TO sail from this port
ON Thursday next, and on the American.
which will probably get away on October
2Oth.
