LUS[TANIA'S FUTURE.
Fesset Mast Improve To Be Good
Government Investment.
Especial by French Cable to The Tribune
ICopyrisht. 1907. by The Tribune Association.


London, Sept 14--The Lusitanias run was
not so good the newspapers expected, al
though they have concealed their disappoint-
ment artfully. She is expected to beat the
Deutschlands average speed record on her east
ward voyage, and when the crew is well dis
ciplined and supply of 5000 tons of superior
coal is obtained to make record which the
Mauretania alone can rival. Otherwise the gov
ernment will have made a bad investment IN
lending money on easy terms for the construc-
ton of the ship and agreeing to pay the Cunard
Line annual subsidy of f150,000 in addition
to the mail carriage. amounting TO t6S,oO0 lhe
only complaints of the Admiralty contracts with
the line come from Canadians who assert that
it blocks effective scheme of rapid imperial
transport. The maintenance of the new Gu
narders in an "AI Red" service from Liverpool
TO Halifax would involve quadrupling the sub
sidy.
While there are rumors that a conference has
been arranged by the American and Canadian
passenger trades. in which the German lines
may may not be represented. it is assumed
by the officials of the various lines that the
all round reduction in eastward rates will be
followed by similar cuts in westward rates after
the end of October. Pooling arrangements have
become impracticable owing to the different'ais
artifcially based on size and speed and the
exigenCies Of destructive competition.
The prospect of all round rate war ana
greatly reduced American traffic next year does
not obstruct the enlargement of the transatlan-
tic fleet by another White Star leviathan. and
there is talk already Of two new German turbine
liners. Apparently the British and German gov
ernments are determined to provide for the
900 10 zoo 900 American tourists facilities for
luxurious ocean travel at the expense or the
home treasures in subsidies. Possibly tney

GERMAN COMMENT ON LUsITANIA.
The Trip Regarded in Shipping Circles as
Disappointing-Th Vibration.

Hamburg Sept. 14-The first voyage OF the
Cunard Line steamship Lusitania 10 New York
is regarded in German shipping circles as dis
appointment II had been expected that she
would break all records. The Lusitanta's aver
age rate of speed. 2301 knots. has been ex-
Ceeded by two German vessels. The Kaiser
Wilhelm IT made an average Of 23.oS knots on
an eastward trip and the Deutschland's record
IS an average of 23.51 for eastward passage
The Deutschland has the best record for a west
eru trip. having made 23.15 knots. The better
time is usually made the eastward voyage"
Although il is said that this was only the
I.usitania's maiden voyage, and that 1t was not
intended 70 drive her, II is felt here that inc
great hopes placed upon her performance were
not realized. The German critics add that TINS
was not the I.usitania's maiden voyage In the
usual sense Of the term because she had been
on trial trips for more than month, had made
a voyage To Gibraltar and return and had sailed
approximately three thousand miles before she
started for New York.
Another disappointment. Il Is added here. was
that there was excessive vibration on the Lusi-
tania. although It had been expected that the
high speed turbine steamers would he free from
this annoyance.

large number Of such orders were ex-
ecuted today and this buying was in
strumental in a measure in bringing
about the sharp advance in values.
There We're numerous bulIsh items
IN circulation both upon domestic and
the foreign crop situation Chief
among them was the report recently
issued by Crop Expert Jones, who is
quoted as saying that the crop of win
ter wheat Will not exceed three humid
red and fifteen million bushels His
former estimate was considerable high
er; it was based upon the possibilities
Of Kansas raising sixty million He
now estimates Kansas at thirty million
and goes so far as TO say that three of
the southwestern states Will not raise
over fifty million. This Of course looks
to be somewhat exaggerated. Never
theIess. this estimate was the inhu-
ence which started shorts stampeding
each other to buy back wheat sold al
much lower prices. To help the buIlish
enthusiasm along. the northwest fur
nished its quota of bullish news in the
way Of crop news. Ii is said the
weather is altogether too unreasonable
for the growing crop; the plant being
thin and weedy and suffering from
drouth in a number of sections of Min
nesota and the Dakotas. Should the
spring wheat crop prove as poor as the
present estimates on the winter, dollar
wheat does not look any too high
There is, however, some well posted
men in the trade who adhere to the
opinion that all of the crop expert
estimates are too low and that we will
raise plenty of wheat to go around
They also contend that the government
figures which will be made public on
the tenth of July will substantiate their
claims. September wheat sold up from
% cents to $1.00. reacting a cent a
bushel right near the closing hour.
The other active futures showed about
the same relative gains.
CORN-Remained quiet and steady
up to the noon hour. When the wheat
pit showed such remarkable strength.
shorts in the corn market made an eff
fort to cover. this stirred up the bull
crowd and brought about an advance
of about a cent a bushel in the active
futures. Cash demand somewhat i'm
proved, sales to exporters about 500, 600
bushels.
Followed the wheat market,
strong throughout the day. A sprinkl-
ing Of bad crop reports and a better
cash demand induced some new buying
and caused some short covering. The
! difference between the July and Sep
TENDER options is gradually working
closer together. There is only a FIVE
cent premium on the July. This should
be greatly reduced within the next
week.

Despite the sensational advance in
wheat values, stocks did not reflect
any particular weakness at any time
during the session. Traders in Wall
street seem to take more optimistic
view over the crop situation They
argue that it is more or less exagger-
ated and later in the season it viii
be found there is plenty of food stuffs
for home consumption and some for
export.
Another bull factor which carried
considerable weight was the published
interview with William Rockefeller in
which he is quoted as saying he be-
lieves the worst is over; there should
be no further depression in the better
class Of securities and that railroad
earnings viii continue to show fair in
creases.
The report of the Great Northern for
May was an excellent document; it
shows an increase of over a million in
gross and it is predicted this road viii

months Of June and July The stock
held exceptionally well throughout the
day, advancing from 129 to 1919.
The Rock Island report also shows

tory gain in net.
The market generally closed strong
and buoyant with the advances we'll
