OVERDUE LIST GROWS.
Seven Vessels Added to the Roll at
San Francisco.

oan TTdHCtbCos
A dispatch from San Francisco says:
There was a big spurt in the overdue
market today. Seven vessels were adj
ded to the list posted at the Merchants
exchange, larger number than has
been placed on the board In single
day for years. The wholesale posting
was the result Of telegram received
from London reporting that the Brit
ish steamer Florida, at New York from
Calcutta, had passed through miles Of
wreckage on May s, 100 miles east OF
Nantucket lightship, consisting mostly
of case oil, In the wreckage were a
raft and small boat upside down. The
day before she met the wreckage the
Florida experienced very heavy gale.
All the new overdues carry cargoes
of case oil, and though none of them is
overdue in point of time, the report
made by the Florida gives rise to fears
in the case of every one of the OIL
carriers. Nothing has been heard from
any Of the vessels since they left the
Atlantic coast. All are posted at the
low rate Of 8 per cent and all are bound
from New York or Philadelphia for
points in the far east.
The list includes the Juteopolis, vii
