LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS OF
SHIPS AND SHIPPING.

Few Vessels in Port mt Present, and
Fewer Bound for Savannah-Deep
Sea ships and COastNise SchOOn-
ers Scarce in These Waters at the
Moment-Matters of Interest 10
shippers.
The few vessels in port at present
gives the harbor an inactive appear
ance. Seldom before at this season
have so few vessels been here, and this
in the face of a small number bound.
At the Seaboard wharves a few steam
ers are loading, but it has been weeks
since many schooners were there, and
the result is an accumulation of lum-
Der that is piled high in places.
Deep sea ships or naval stores car
rying vessels are also scarce here now.
Only four are in port. Few are bound.
In looking over the situation and the
prospects shipping people are not in
clined to take a hopeful view of the
immediate future. A NUMBER of steam
ers are here. and several more are to
arrive for January loading.
Through the efforts of the New Or
leans Maritime Exchange, Congress
has authorized the establishment of
weather bureau observatory and YES
sel-reportng display station at Sand
Key. near Key West, on the edge of the
Gulf of Florida. The station Will be
in operation about July l, or as soon
as the cable is laid between Key West
and Sand Key.
This will afford vessels bound in and
out of the Gulf of Mexico an excellent
opportunity to be reported at any of
the Gulf ports to which they may be
bound. through the Maritime Exchange
at the port of New Orleans, which will
establish a system of code words, reg
lister vessels names connected with va
rious lines who may choose to bear the
necessary expense to pay for tele-
graphic service and cable tolls from
Sand Key to New Orleans, which, IL
literally supported in number of sub
scriptions, will make the service cost
from 81 and not to exceed 81 so to any
United States or Canadian town, or
SO 80 to points in Europe and Mexico.
As a matter of course. storm signals
will be displayed at Sand Key, as is
done by all the weather bureau sta
tions: and there cannot be imagined
more important point to give warnings
of West Indian hurricanes to vessels
bound east into the Gulf of Florida or
west into the Gulf of Mexico. Mariners
may get information from the New Or
leans Maritime Exchange.

THE KIND OF SEEDS THAT YIELD.

Like everything else there are good
seeds and bad seeds SEEDS that yrow
and seeds that don't grow; seeds that
yield and seeds that don't yiri0, and
little thought given now to the
selection of the seed you'll need, will
be found time well spent. though real
lied much better at the harvest if you
select the world famed Ferr > Seeds
the kind that always yield. For
nearly half century Ferry's Seeds
have been known and sowm wherever
good crops are grown. until farmer
and gardener alike, have learned to
depend upon their wonderful reliable
growing and Welding qualities, year
after year, to the exclusion of all 9TH
ers.
Unfortunately the seed business
seems to afford q means for many un.
scrupulous people who aim to blind
the unwary TO quality, through little
hess of price and boastful claims; who
in reality have nothing to substantiate
their claims, no reputation at stake,
no past record as proof. 1t is better
to pay little more for the seed and
be assured of great deal more at the
harvest by sowing Ferry Seeds. The

sued a general order giving the find
ings of the court of inquiry convened
at the request of Major H. Edward
Dyer, to Investigate his connections
with the conditions that existed in
Co. A. of Rutland at the annual in
spection last June.
1t appears from the evidence, that
the use of Major Dyer's name in con-
nection with conditions existing in
Co. A, LIST Infantry, V. N. g., was
unwarranted, and that no order or per-
mission had been given by him, which
would relieve the company command
er from responsibility for the state of
certain men Of his company, at the
annual June drill day. 1902.
The commander in chief takes this OPP
portunity to express his regret. that
any company of the V. N. g., should
be in the condition shown by the evil
dence to exist in Co. A, at the time,
and further, that careless and unau.
thorized statements should be pub
lished, rejecting upon the officers
who have given no cause for criticism
and hopes that the publicity of this
unfortunate affair will inspire officer!
