Sufficient Ground for War.

Washington, Dec. lit was said at
the British and German embassies
Wednesday that the action of Presi-
dent Castro in ordering the arrest of
all subjects of the British and Ger
man governments in Caracas was with
out precedent in the history of civil
lied countries supposedly at peace
with each other and that such action
would be regarded as sufficient ground
for a declaration of war. Members of
the diplomatic corps here indeed re-
gard it as being such a declaration in
itself

Acted Promptly.


Minister Bowen's prompt action in
demanding of President Castro the re-
lease of the German and British sub
iects arrested in Caracas Tuesday is
in accordance with the plan agreed on
between the German and British am
bassadors and Secretary Hay when the
former called at the state department
fully three weeks ago, and, in antici-
patton of the present ugly situation in
Venezuela requested that the United
States minister at Caracas be permitted
to protect the lives and property of all
British and German citizens in Vene-
zuela.
Will Fight.
Caracas, Dec. 12.-President Castro

other Britons and Germans and have
taken possession of their property.
The Venezuelan authorities also
seized British steamer which was
discharging cargo of coal at Puerto
Cabello.

Britain and Germany entered the
aarbor of La Guayra yesterday and

in bank, for there is always a good
demand for it at market prices.
Conservative estimates of the past
seasons receipts of wool at Savannah
have been made for the Morning News
worth approximately $1,400, 900. The
bulk of the Georgia crop comes here,
the city receiving about 100000 pounds
annually. OF the Florida crop Savan-
nah dealers get about 100000 Savan-
nah and Albany handle practically
the entire wool clip of this state.
The season opened with prices lower,
but there was later an advance of
to cents per pound. The average
price fog the best woods during last
season was about 1870. The market
towards the closing of the season
during July and August-ruled quiet
Dealers do not believe the wool
production is on the increase for the
reason that the clearing of lands, in
crease in farming, and extensive tur-
pentine and lumber operations have
increased the population and also the
demand for mutton, which results in
the killing of many sheep. More were
killed the past year than for many
seasons heretofore.
Since the Georgia Legislature has
not yet seen fit to enact a law against
sheep killing dogs these too has had
its effect in destroying sheep. Every
year the Legislature talks dog law"
but there is a general winking, and
most everybody constructs the effort
as an insincere attempt to remedy the

HAY AND GRAIN.

Prices Reached the Highest Point
Since 1891.
The hay and grain business ranks
among the leading lines of local trade.
During the past year it has been no
exception to this rule, with business
up to what it was last year, If not bet
ter. Considerable competition develop
ed during the year, both among local
dealers and from other markets south
of Savannah. While this did not ma
terially affect the general volume of
the business, individuals were the los
ers. The result was a division of the
trade among a larger number.
Towards the closing of the year mar
ket disturbances interfered some with
this trade, at least, it caused more
conservative buying on the part of re-
tail handlers generally here and in the
interior. The distribution of these pro-
ducts is through the regular hay and
grain merchants, wholesale grocers.
commission houses, naval stores fac
tors and others. The business for the
year just closed is conservatively put
at $4,000, 900.

than that the past year was had. Mr..
I. j. Davis, who deals in hay, grain.

some comparisons of prices of these
products the past year. as COMPARED

Corn reached 7Sc last season. and 771hc

$1T so per ton last year, and SIS. Is per
ton in 1891. Bran reached S21 90 per
ton last year. and $40. 90 per ton in 1891
The outlook for fall business with
the hay and grain men is all that can
be expected. The country is prosper
Gus. farmers are able to buy. and
dealers, knowing they will be able to
pay, are willing to sell them. Business
started off well, and promises to hold
out.
In connection with this trade inter
esting transportation features were
rumored during the year, which it was
thought would bring the grain trade
prominently to the front, and enable
Western dealers to export through Sa-
Vannah 1t was talked that the Cen
tral of Georgia Railroad was to be con-
solidated with the st. Louis and San

rumors were denied however.

AMONG PRODUCE DEALERS.
Truck Crops Good and Brought Fair
Prices,


Produce raising is one of the leading
industries around Savannah, and it is
growing steadily into Importance as
the population of the city increases
and the demand for all kinds of vege-
tables and other produce grows
Truck gardening is the thing for
persons of moderate means, and they
have engaged in it the past year. A
visit to the city market daily proves
this. This business gives quick re-
turns FOR labor. The returns, too, are
cash, so that many found few things
In which they could more profitab bly,
engage.
With the exception of those lands ly-
ing 10 the west of the city along the
river the entire area bordering the city
is suitable for cultivation. Along any
OF the roads may be seen small truck
farms, with an abundance of every de-
scription of produce for which the
South is known. Practically the en-
tire OF the local production finds home
consumption. On the whole all crops
were fairly good
The shipment of produce to the
North is unfortunate for this city in
one sense, as it takes away the best,
which has to be selected for shipment.
owing to its perishable nature, and
also to make it salable This is the
explanation of the absence of very
choice supplies in the local market at
times.
The commission houses and dealers
OF savannah have successfully handled
al consignments sent them, and 80
tar as known have given the trade
perfect satisfaction The large demand
for supplies enables them to get uni
formly good prices for consignments,
as there is usually competitive bidding
for them. The outlook for the fall is
reported by all to be encouraging.
The Savannah morning news., 1902-09-01
Spirits.
Resins.

Aside from the good start of prices
factors have succeeded in wedding out
many inexperienced operators, who
were a load to carry. The high prices
of previous seasons attracted in 1901
many persons bent upon sharing the
prosperous times with the turpentine
men, and the result was so many en-
tered that the trade was demoralized
largely. Times are good for the oper-
ator now" said one factor, but l fear
the effect may be to again attract the
element that proved so undesirable in
1901"
Savannah affords attractive facilities
for the handling of naval stores, and
will beyond doubt continue the con-
trolling market of the world. The Ma
tional Tank and Export Company has
excellent facilities for the handling of
turpentine in it's tanks at the different
railroad terminals. The company is
managed by the best business men in
the trade, and the wisdom of their
policy is shown in the great success
of the company during its first year.
Mr.. John r. Young is president, and
has wisely directed its affairs, with
its other officers and directors. Mr.
julius c. Schwarz is superintendent.
A feature of the year with the naval
stores trade was the improved methods
for foreign shipment, by either the
direct or Indirect steamships. The
sailing ship has almost been eliminat-
ed as a naval stores carrier. Foreign
steamers sailing direct usually offer
room at very reasonable rates for all
the leading European ports, while the
coastwise lines book large shipments
for indirect handling by their ships
and the transatlantic liners at Bal
timore, Philadelphia and New York.
The prospect for the crop now being
marketed is that it will be at least
10 per cent. below the crop of 1901

Capt. c. L. Chestnut, the efficient SUI

A twelve months review of the naval
stores industry for the commercial
year just closed embraces only five
months of the new naval stores season,
which opened on April 1. The figures
given by the Morning News below are
for the trade year. beginning Sept. l,
1901, and ending August 80. While the
receipts are less than those for 1901
prices are higher, and the prospects de-
cidedly more favorable for a profitable
year for operators.
Owing to the large inroads operators
have made into the pine forests during
the past few years it is the consen-
sus of opinion among the trade that
this industry has probably seen it's
record crop. While none fear an
abrupt decrease in production the fact
that lands have passed largely into
conservative hands who understand
the effect of big crops doubtless means
that production henceforth will likely
be held well within the consumption,
which will have the effect of main
tanning prices at level that will en-
ings for themselves.
The new season is promising for
many reasons. Prices open up well,
being now considerably above last year
for both spirits and rosins. The range
for the season so far follows:

Securities Markets and Range of
Values for the Year.

EtAASS OA
Values for the Year.
While there were no unsual devel-
opments in the local securities mar
ket during the year. fairly good busi-
ness was done. A majority of the
securities held locally are good ones,
and for this reason holders seem con-
tent to keep them. A lack of offerings
has, therefore, restricted business.
Probably the financial feature of the
year was the organization of the Sa-
vannah Trust Company which estab-
lished offices in the old Central Rail-
road Bank building, which it bought
and fitted up for it's business. This
company will deal in securities in con-
nection with the exercise of it's char
ter privileges, and in underwriting en-
terprise' is expected to bring new is
sues into the local market. Mr.. w. w.
Mackall is president, and Mr. John
Morris secretary.
The year with Savannah's banks was
prosperous one. Ample funds are
here for the conduct of all legitimate
business, and a sufficient surplus to
divide with interior banks. Ruling
rates of interest were per cent.
President Mills B. Lane of the Citi-
zens Bank, and also president of the
Clearing House Association, expressed
satisfaction with the past years bust
ness with the banks. Mr. Lane looks
for an active fall business, and the
fact that August clearings are away
ahead of last August, 1901, indicates
that a larger business is ahead.
During the year the Union Bank was
organized, and will open for business
soon on Liberty street, west, in the
w. c. T. U. building. The Citizens
Bank is to establish a branch in the
west side.
