STEAMER SERVICE

FIRST VESSEL TAKES BEANS

Atlantic C-ProieCt Grows
in Proportions
FIRST VESSEL TAKES BEANS

SAN PEDRO, Oct. 2O.-The new
steamship service of Bates & Cheese
brough between this port and Panama
was inaugurated today when the
steamer Olsen & Mahoney, Capt.
PAYNE. called for 400 tons of beans for
shipment to the Atlantic. The snip
ment is the first ever made from thls
port to the Atlantic via Panama.
1t is believed that plenty OF frelgnt
for eastern shipment will be offered
here. SO that the steamers of the new
line will be able to call here polh
northbound and southbound. When
the line was first established the nrn
chartered three steamers on the Pa
cific coast to run between San Fran
cisco and Ancon and one to run pc
tween New York and Panama via New
Orleans. With space on the govern
ment transports on the Atlantic sue
Bates & Chesebrough expected TO
equalize the shipments on the three
steamers on this coast.
So much freight was offered the new
line, however, that the firm has de-
cided to extend the service to Puget
sp11nd. and additional steamers have
been chartered to care for this trade.
The firm may enter the coastWlse
lumber trade in order to keep the
steamers nlieQ SOuIuDOuuu lIOih tAAS
sound to California.
PLENTY OF FREIGHT
1t is believed that there will be
plenty of freight from the Atlantic for
the northwest, and to solve the prob
lem of eastbound freight H. S. Bates,
who has been in Seattle investigating
conditions, proposes to bring lumber
from Tacoma and other ports to San
Francisco, and possibly to San PEDRO:
The prospects are good for plenty OF
eastbound freight from California 10
fill the steamers again here after they
discharge their lumber cargoes.
The third steamer on the new line
for Ancon is the MackinaW, which is
due to leave San Francisco today with
a, full cargo. The Stanley Dollar has
arrived at Ancon with the first ship
ment. The next departure will be the
steamer George w. Fenwick from San
Francisco October 81.
The Fenwick has been running be-
tween this port and Tongue Point on
the Columbia river for the past two
years carrying lumber for the Nation
al Lumber company. She is in port
now discharging her last cargo OF
lumber and will sail for San Francisco
Saturday. Her place in the lumber
trade will be taken by the new steam
er Capt. Thomas Hubbard, now being
built at the Craig shipbuilding plant
for the Hammond Lumber company.

The market opened firm at an advance
Of 4a13 points on continued covering, al
though cables were slightly disappoint-
ing. The bull leaders gave the old crop
support. and July was relatively firm,
quickly selling up to a net advance of
about 2s points. while the new crop show
ing the influence of continued good
weather, was slow to respond to the near
month strength. and ruled some 10a11
POINTS net higher Later cables were
flrmer, and July shorts s-ened to be
very nervous owing to the renewal of
bull support.
The advance was not checked until July
cotton had sold at 14.Si. or 30 points net
higher, and the new crop had reached a
net gain OF about 15al6 points. At this
level offerings became a little more lib
eral. and prices at midday were Ia !
points off from the best, but there was a
continued demand from Wall street
shorts and the market was very nervous.
1t is reported that the leading bulls have
made further sales from the local stock.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

With the exception of the marketing Of
some twenty thousand dollars Of the 8
per cent consolidated bonds of the Po-
tomac Electric Power Company there was
little trading at today's meeting OF the
stock exchange. The bonds sold at about
the same level as has been current for
some days, and the quantity did not ap-
pear to affect the price, although there
was variation in the figures in the
sales made of an eighth of a point, some
Of the bonds selling for 1914.
The market for bonds has been fairly
good. and there has been some invest
ment buying IN the case of stocks, but
for the most part the local market, like
the general market, has been dull, with
but slight volume of business. There
have been slight recesSiOnS in the figures
generally, although in the case of the
traction stocks and bonds, and especially
the former, the decline has been rather
marked. For instance, the Washington
railway common stock Is now thirteen or
fourteen points lower than it was sew
eral months ago. Inc situation in the
local market is much the same as that
of the general market, where speculation
has been at a low ebb for some time
past.
The demand for money for stock market
uses has naturally fallen off, but there is
no complaint of a scarcity of loanable
funds. There is no indication of an adj
vance in the rates, which is usually a
forerunner of tightening in the money
market. The situation in this city, gen.
orally speaking. is good. with but little
doing in local securities.
After the call quite good deal was
done in the preferred stock Of the WASH
ington Railway and Electric Company
on a range of from Sis to S1ss for quota
ton los, which is considerably lower
than any figure yet reached. although
yesterday broken lots sold for S7ls to 81 =.
The manual of statistics, or stock eX-
change handbook, giving the latest au-
thori,ative information relative to rail-

making the thirtysecond issue. There Is
no reduction in its bulk, which is neces-
sarily large. covering as it does such a
wide field in detail.
