SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. AUGUST Is. 1902

ket to-day showed considerable irreg-
ularity. due largely to the furry in
call money up six per cent. The
impression also obtained in the after
noon that the bank statement might
prove to be unfavorable on account
of expansion in the item of loans. The
creased of speculation. however, de-
creased as to reaction. made progress
and the only liquidation that was
noted was on the part of the smaller
class of traders. The pronounced
weakness in sterling exchange, due to
liberal offerings of grain futures. con-
tributed to steadying prices in the late
dealings. Notwithstanding the pro-
nounced setback to Missouri Pacific
and Texas Pacific in late afternoon.
there was persistent buying of ST.
Louis Southwestern preferred, which
advanced 2 per cent. Gossip connec-
ted this movement with the rise of
per cent in Toledo. St. Louis and
Western preferred. and nearly 5 per
cent. in the common on reports that
new deal was under consideration af-
fecting these two stocks. Southern
Pacific was active and decidedly
strong, resisting the reactionary ten
dency well and closed with a frac-
tional gain at about highest of the
day. Louisville and Nashville was
also exceptionally strong throughout
the Baltimore and Ohio selling ex-
cept dividend ruled a large part of
time above the equivalent of yester-
days close. Union Pacific exhibited
considerable resistive power and in
late dealings Denver and Rio Grande
began to rise. Total sales, 622, 900

as well as of grain bills for September.
October and November delivery
The exchange market was in conse-
quence weak. An incidental influence
upon the weakness of stocks was the
report of rains in the spring wheat
harvesting region which affected the
grain markets as well. AS was to be
expected, the selling pressure was most
acute upon those stocks which have
advanced most conspicuously of late.

Murphy q Co.'s Grain Letter.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug 15.-Wheat has
teen made strong by wet weather in
the Northwest, and there has been an
increase in the scare among September
shorts and September to-day was 3%
higher than December. The weather
abroad is reported threatening, foreign
crop news is bearish, and cables were
firm. Estimates of the yield abroad in
creased, clearances for the week have
been 100000 bushels against 100000
last year. There was nothing more
than scalping market in corn to-
day. Prices were higher early on the
rains and with wheat. The interest
centered in December. and there was
general buying of 1t at the outset.
Bartlett Fraser took most of the De-
cember. Cudahy houses had it for sale
on the swell. The Illinois report made
the condition fair. The cash demand
was moderate.
The oats market to-day has been on
the weather. The map showed heavy
rains all through Iowa and Nebraska,
the grading was poor. only % cars
standard out of the 272 cars received.
Early in session shorts were active
buyers, but on the swell there were
oats for sale. Much of the business was
by brokers. 1t rather looked as If the
to-day's advance.
The provision market has been a
small and nervous one. January prices
held fairly well but the near futures
have been easy and apparently without
much support. There has been rom
tinued pressure on September lard.
Much Of the business was changing
hands. There Is an Improvement In the
cash situation.

FROM WATER FRONT
TWO FOREIGN LINES TO CONNECT
WITH SAVANNAH.
AMPLE SHIPPING FACILITIES.
THROUGH SHIPMENTS FROM THE
MIDDLE WEST EXPECTED.

The Burg Line to Have Steamers
Out Monthly for Amsterdam and
Northumberland Freight Rates.
Matters of Interest to shippers
and Mariners.
With the new cotton season Savan-
nah is to have two regular foreign
lines of steamships. making regular
monthly visits, and probably oftener.
II the amount of business for the ports
visited warrant it. The Morning News
mentioned the Hansa Line the other
cay. which is to connect Savannah and
Bremen. Williamson & Rauers are the
agents for this line.
The second will be the Burg Line
connecting Savannah with Amsterdam
and Rotterdam. The agents for this
line are ]. F. Minis & Co, who have
already posted the first steamer at the
Cotton Exchange to load here. OF
course there were reasons for believing
that these lines would pay before 1t
was decided to establish them, and if
the expectations of the shipping agents
al AldiiGCl d1ulliOildl STEAMERS may
be run later on. The Burg Line will
have a steamer for those ports out of
Savannah every month.
The freight room offering from Sa-
vannah to foreign ports and the rates
follow Barcelona, 43c; Genoa 40c:
Trieste 45c: Bremen, 33c: Hamburg.
SSc; Havre, SIC; Rotterdam 32c; Am
sterdam, 32c; Antwerp, 35c; Venice,
45c; Liverpool, 35c; Manchester 35c.
Nothing could illustrate more strik
ingly the changes that have taken
place in the construction of modern
ocean steamships than the single item
of masts
Fifteen and more years ago the crack
Atlantic 'greyhounds" carried more or
less square rigging, with canvas for
sail purposes. In 1885, for instance. such
steamers as the Britannia" and the
"Germanic" spread good-sized stretches
of sail. while other steamships closely
resembled in appearance ships and
harks with their wealth of towering
canvas.
To-day all this is changed. and
pole-masts are the universal rule
whether the steamer is built for pas
senger or for freight service. The old
"Etruria" class long ago were shorn of
their few remaining spars, and other
steamers whose fore-masts supported
the yard-arm rigging have been mod
errlzed. The evolution of the "pola-
mast is easily recognized by compar-
Ing pictures of a dozen or twenty wears
back, to be found now only in steam
ship offices. with existing up-to-date
steamers. The old and formerly popu-
Jar steamship Alaska" the then In.
man liners city of New York" and
city of Paris" and the Cunarder
"Aurania" all have borne witness to
the now obsolete style of square rig
ging for steamships.
