The unsatisfactory condition of the
coal industry consequent upon the re-
markable scarcity of deep-sea ship
ping, Is causing some amount of anxi
ETY., not only in the coal-mining COM
munity, but also in business circles. |
There were only four foreign-going sail |
ing vessels in the harbor this afternoon |
waiting to go under the cranes to load
cargoes of coal; but his number was |
increased to six by the arrival tonight |
Of two sailers. The berthing master. |
Captain Knowles, reports that the
present scarcity of deep-sea vessels has |
not been equaled since the year 1875, or
for a period of 81 years. At the cor
responding date of last year there were |
no fewer than 105 sailing vessels in port |
awaiting coal cargoes. There are five |
vessels fully laden at the buoys ready |
for sea. The diminished demand for !
coal is due primarily to the fact that |
most of our foreign markets are over |
supplied. 1t is reported that at Valpar-
also and at nearly the whole of the !
ports on the west coast of South Amer
lea there are stocks sufficient to meet |
all requirements for at least six months
to come. A large number of vessels is
listed to arrive, but the prevailing opin-
ion Is that the coal trade will not re-
vive before March or April next.-Syd-

1t is probable that the new steamship
line between San Francisco and the
Philippines Will run their first boat in
about four months. The new line will
administer the death blow to
the transport service. The decision to
run steamers direct to Manila without
stopping at Oriental ports, was arrived
1T after an understanding had been made
with the United States government. It
IS almost settled fact that the trans
port service will be discontinued In few
months, and that the new company will
handle the business which has in the
past been done by the transports. If the
thing goes through without a hitch, the
steamers viii stop at Honolulu and
Guam, as the government has stations
at both places. Private business to be
received in Honolulu viii lalso be instru-
mental in the vessels calling here. The
leet will compose the Ohio. Indiana and
