Having been anxious to try the experiment
of operating an American steamer in the
South American trade in competition with
foreign steamers, Barber & Co. have taken
advantage of an opportunity to charter the
American steamship Texan, $4,000 tons capac-
ity. There is at the moment an exceptional
demand for freight accommodations to the
River Plate. The rates that will lie charged
are on the basis of Sc per measurement ton
and will be virtually the same as those charged
by the foreign lines. The Texan is a Hawaii
American liner and is considered well adapted
to the River Plate trade. She will be ready for
loading on Monday next at Pier SO, Atlantic
Basin, and will sail, it is announced, positively
at noon on Wednesday, November 9. The
Texan is expected to make the run to the
River Plate under twenty-four days. which
will be appreciated by shippers at this season.
Mail will close at the post office at IL a. m.
Wednesday, November 9. Barber & Co. figure
that an American boat will receive consider
able prestige. The demand for freight accom-
mediation is for general cargo, though especial
ly for agricultural implements, wine shocks,
case oil. lubricating oil and machinery of ali
kinds-New York paper.

James B. Parse of Searsport and has been en-
gagged on the route between New York and
