Shipping Concerns Getting Busy

Seattle, May Embarrassing ac-
4;n;+v is the noticeable feature among
tbo shipping concerns of the Pacific
snost and all lines local, coastwise
ond foreign are augmenting their
tonnage in anticipation Of the great
Increase Of passenger travel during
+ba summer months. The opening Of
+bu Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition
IN lime l has S imulated travel to a
greater extent than any other bust
moss event for years, and all lines
have found that their present pas
senger carrying facilities are far in
adequate to the increase in passen-
Ger and tourist travel.
The Canadian Pacific has already
added to its line of Princess steam
ers plying between Seattle, Victoria
and Vancouver, the new vessel Prin-
cess Charlotte, and this addition will
increase it's passenger capacity
about two thousand daily. The In
ternational Navigation Company
has already in operation the mag
nifcent steamers Iroquois, Chippe-
wa and indianapolis, and these swift
vessels have a passenger capacity OF
more than 1000 passengers. The To-
cal domestic lines have been prepar-
ing for the inland rush for the last
year. and Puget Sound waters today
float a fleet considered ample for
the accommodation of tens Of thou
sands Of exposition visitors.
The Oriental, Australian, Ha-
waiian and Alaskan shipping lines
have all increased their tonnage ex-
tensiVeIy, and from the wonderful
increase in transportation offered
from those countries, the steam
ship companies will have use Of all
their passenger capacity. The advan.
tageous rates offered visitors on al
lines during the Alaska Yukon-P aci-
fc Exposition are proving attrac-
tive, and an unusual number of
tourists have already booked pas
sage to Seattle during the summer
months.
The Alaska travel will especially
show substantial Increase during
the fair season, and the opportunity
Of viewing the northern wonder
land, will be widely taken advantage
Of by visitors from the eastern
states and foreign countries.

came more pronounced every day. In
few days these rumblings were ac-
centuated by occasional loud explo-
sions, which increased in violence and
frequency as the days went by.
etThen either old or new Bogoslof
burst out in flames, and the reflection
of the fire was visible in the sky at
night time and could be seen from the
high points near Unalaska.
s'The marshal, desiring to know
what was occurring to the westward,
sent Indians off to see what had oc-
Cured. They returned and said they
would not go near the place, as there
was fire on the Bogoslof and new
island was visible to them. When
questioned they could give no further
information than to say the new is
land was near the two Bogoslofs and
was covered with steam, which indi-
Gated that the rocks Of the new peak
were still hot.
"By the next trip Of the Dora Mr..
Grey and MIR. Harmon will have Wis
tied the island and will have examined
the entire group, paying special at
tention to Bogoslof, itself volcanic

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Dec. e0.-Wheat prices
slumped severely al the opening OF
trading here today, owing TO a general
Il to ed. in the price of wheat at Liver
pool, Notwithstanding the tremendous
bulge here Saturday. Today's break at
Liverpool seemed to furnish additional
evidence tending to d~isprove the ac-
curacy of the report circulated here
Saturday regarding an lie advance at
Buenos Ayres. Opening quotations
were from l to . below the closing
figures of the previous session. DeceE-
Der being at III to 117ia and May at
1I2ss to 113. Within the first few min
utes the price of the December option
had sold off still further to 116&. The
future deliveries manifested relatively
greater firmness and May sold up to
1881.
The continuance of extremely cold
weather throughout the corn belt mad
a weakening effect on the corn market.
Prices at III opening were q shade
to 20 lower than the previous close, with
May az 65ss to soy. Later May touched
85A. Trading was dull at the start.
Oats were quiet and easy, the heayi-
ness being due mainly to the weakness
of wheat and corn. Opening quota.
lions were unchanged to Il lower. witt
May at 44ss to 44%. For q time the
price of the May option held withif
that range.
Provisions were weak because of in
creased receipts of live hogs. Selling
was not extremely heavy. but demand
