Among shipping men the pending
treaty between the United States and
Cuba is of particular interest for its
bearing upon the possible establishing
Of steamship lines, and the upbuilding
of trade that may help this port. 1t
is predicted that closer commercial re-
latiOns will result favorably for Sa-
vannah. Lumber exports from here
are steadily growing. and it is predict
ed that other branches will soon devel-
OF if closer trade relations are
made possibly by the treaty.
The daily receipts of cotton have
been falling off for several days. the
shortage on last years receipts being
anywhere from 1000 to 5000 bales
daily. There are a number of steam
ers to load during December, however,
and the cotton will be expected to
come from some source. Some attrib-
ute the shortage to the exhaustion of
interior supplies. while othes lay it to
other causes.
Mr.. L. Williams who came to Sa-
vannah recently as mate in the British
Schooner Charlevoix, mas been engaged
as second officer on the bark Nellie
