MARINE INTELLIGENCE,
Local and General News of ships
and Shipping.

When there is talk of the present
competition which has sprung up in
nearly all branches of river work ex-
tending to the towboats old-timers at
the business shudder, for even the most
enduring of them do not care to re-
peat the experiences of some years
ago, when the boats lay off Tybee in
the toughest of weather in their hunts
for lows. The rumors of competition
that have been going around we're
probably not started by men who know
of the terrible hardships of this busi-
ness.
Talk of competition in the towing
business surely cannot be from persons
familiar with the past" said one man.
''Towboatmen are like other men in
wanting to be as comfortable as posi-
BILE, but all hope of this vanishes with
the approach of conditions that keeps
them off Tybees bar day in and day
out"
In many respects duller conditions
prevail now in the shipping than ever
before. A dozen or more steamers are
at the cotton docks loading and the
naval stores wharves are also taken
up. But with this the appearance of
activity is lacking.
The Belgian steamship Clematis is
expected Nov. 20 to load naval stores.
1t is understood to be the intention of
the Antwerp Naval Stores Co. to So
licit more miscellaneous cargo for their
steamers later on.
Within the next ten days the Tank
and Export Company will be in posi-
ton to clear the docks of all stuff it
is desired to consign to them. Tank
No. l, at the Plant System, is finished
and filled with company spirits. Tank
No. will be accepted shortly, being
finished and ready for use. Tank No.
3, at the Seaboard Air Line docks, will
be painted during the present week.
These tanks to be finished in ten days
will give an additional capacity of TO-
900 barrels.
