the new owners CT the road have sue
ceeded In securing large quantities OF
grain for shipment to foreign ports
during the next few months. The
total shipments for the winter season
may not aggregate 100000 bushels,
but considering all conditions this is
regarded as excellent, and more es-
peclally so when 1t is recalled that the
grain business here last year was
practically at a stand still, little or
no grain being shipped.
Five Lines in Operation.
Five steamship companies are now
operating regular steamers between
this port and foreign ports and ship
pirg men predict that all Of the lines
will put IN additional ships next year

are the Holland America. Hamburg

Several years ago the export and
import business here fell off rapidly
and last year it was very small, the
