WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
By VIM. T. Williams.

1y w AAs ~ w AAAAOAhSs
The eccentricities of the cotton mar
ket during the past week surpassed
anything yet seen during this memoir
able campaign. Especially were the
fluctuations of the first three days of
unexampled violence.
AS forecasted here, week ago, the
start off was weak. On Monday May
declined about 60 points to IL .S0c; on
Tuesday it sold as high as 1880; on
Wednesday it was down again to 13.05c:
finally advancing again to 1880, and
closing "a points net higher, at 13.77c.
The sudden Infusion of strength on
Tuesday came from the Census Blu
reau's report of cotton ginned up 10
Dec. Is, which was given as only s.
$4,000 bales, against S,905, 900 bales up
to the same date last year. This the
bulls claimed to thoroughly and
triumphantly substantiate their con-
tentions.
The bears had confidently expected
a much larger amount, and conse-
quently were routed with confusion;
probably the most remarkable of the
weeks movements being the break of
80 points the day after the report came
out. Late in the week the market
was helped by the more hopeful out
look for pacific settlement of the
Oriental question.
And yet certain considerations rem
der the ginner's report very indefinite
and inconclusive, to say the least. For
instance; there were reports from only
29,971 gins, as against 80, 1874 last year,
a most astonishing circumstance when
co-ordinated with the material increase
in acreage over new territory. One
would seem forced to the conclusion
that the report was not exhaustive.
Again, last year the gins reporting
turned out in about fifteen weeks of
work, S,905,000 bales, or about 593, 900
bales per week; this year a smaller
number of gins, operating three weeks
shorter time, or say twelve weeks,
turned out about 10000 bales per
week. These circumstances are men
toned only to show that the report
really afforded nothing positive about
the extent of the crop, no attempt
having been made to estimate the pro-
portion remaining to be ginned.
The bulls talk as confidently as ever,
and at the same time the bears are
imbibing a little more courage. The
net result is more of a two-sided MAR
ket than hitherto, and as the time an
proaches for the entrance of new fac
tors in the problem, extra vigilance is
essential Sudden, violent and unex-
pected changes are to be expected, and
it would certainly appear the part
of prudence to realize good profits when
shown on either side.

SCHOONER YACHT IBIS
is A THING OF BEAUTY
Old Yacht Owned by Birmingham MiIIionaires
Has Been Done Over

Spic and span. her white sides glist-
ening in the sunlight, with brasses
polished to the highest point of refiec-
ton, the schooner yacht Ibis will leave
the ways of the Thunderbolt Marine
and Navigation Company Thursday
morning.
For the past two months a small
army of workmen have been busy rem
ovating the craft. which is owned by
Mr. Willis ]. Miner of Birmingham.
Ala, who is one of the wealthiest iron
men in the South, being the senior
member of the firm of Miner & Kitner.
Mr.. Miner, while nearly three score
and ten. has the yachting tastes of
many millionaires, and spends most of
his leisure time on his ocean-going
yacht.
While the Ibis was first built over
eighteen years ago one would scarcely
realize the fact to see her as she ap-
pears to-day.
Dimensions of the Yacht.
The yacht was originally launched at
Bay Port, L. l. Her dimensions are
as follows Fifty-four feet on deck, As
foot keel. 16-foot beam, 4-foot draught,
and 48-foot water line. She has a
two bladed propeller, and a fifteen
horsepower engine of the most mod
ern pattern built by Craig of New
York.
The craft is a typical auxiliary
schooner, being constructed of white
nd q hnorq trim
mings. All of her brasses are nickel
plated and the cabin is luxuriously
furnished and decorated with plush
draperies. In fact, nothing has been
left undone to give her owner all the
comforts of a home while on the
waves. The Ibis is manned by three
men, Capt. Asbury Walls. sailing mas
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-01-11

ter; August Bond Seaman, and Charles
{ Johnson, steward. All of the Gull
nary arrangements are of the most
modern type, and the cabin is quite
large enough to entertain small
sized dinner party.
The yacht when she leaves the ways
this week will go direct to Jackson
vile where she will be put in commits
sion next Saturday at noon.
Mr.. Milner, who has only owned the
yacht a few years, has recently chang
ed her hailing port from Philadelphia
to New Orleans. Her owner expects
he will cruise in Florida waters and
on the Gulf in the Ibis for the next
two or three months.
RemodelIing Done Here.
The remodelling of the craft has been
entirely done by the Tunderbolt Ma
rine and Navigation Company, and the
changes that have been wrought, both
in her interior and exterior, reflects
great credit upon Mr.. William M. Kid
we'll, the superintendent of the COM
pany. All of the brass work on the
schooner was renickled by the Electric
Supply Company of this city. While
the Thunderbolt Marine and Naviga-
ton Company was only started on a
small scale a little over a year ago
it has made rapid strides, and has
now the facilities of building or re-
pairing almost anything that floats.
Mr. KidweI in a conversation with
Morning News reporter YESTERDAY
said: Our original intention was only
to repair local pleasure boats, and
naphtha launches, but during the past
year we have had three large yachts,
including the Ibis, on the ways.
Our business is constantly growing.
so much so, in fact, that we are now
employing sixteen high-prfced me-
chan1cs, and find enough work to keen
them pussy all the time. The rejuvenat-
ed Ibis is an illustration Of what Ure
are capable of doing in the way of
yacht building, and I hope ere long to
enlarge our present yard so that II
VIII be able to compete with any marine
railway in the South.
