IMPORTANT RIVER DEAL
Capt. Green Buys white Collar

Line.
One of the most important trans
actions that has occurred in river
orioles for some time, especially
above Cincinnati. was the deal
which was consummat,d in Gin
cinnaii be,v cen Comm, dore Laid
ley, of the White Cellar line and
Captains Gordon Greene and Viii.
liam E. Roe In the deal that was
effected the two latter gentlemen
come the owners of the White
Collar Lines four packets which
have-been running above CIncin-
natl, the Tacoma. Stanley, nj. p.
Wells and the Courier
The deal has been pending for
some little time and the latter com
pany will now retire from the trade
between Cincinnati and Pomeroy
The financial consideration in the
deal has not been learned.
In view of the new order Of
things the sidewheel packet Green
land will run in the Maysville and
Cincinnati trade during the low
water season after which it will run
in the Charleston and Pittsburg
trade. where it formerly ran. The
Greenwood will be placed perman-
emily in the Pomeroy and Cincin-
natl trade.
The deal practically gives Cap
tains Greene and Roe control of
the trade above Cincinnati as far
as Pomeroy, and no doubt the new
owners will give the shippers a
service equal to if not superior to
that which they have had for sew
eral years. which the White Collar
Line controlled the trade.
