Pacific Mail AIgOa i'm New Charter.

Taking advantage of the nigh freight
situation, the Hartman interests
have chartered the British steamship
Algoa to Balfour. Guthrie & Co. toI
transport a cargo OF wheat from Pu-
get Sound to Europe, receiving rate
of AIS Cd. AS she has capacity for
handling 10000 tons, the single trip
of the steamer to Europe will net the
owners about $4,000.
Criticism of the Hartman interests
was heard at Portland this morning
because they did not send the Algoa
to Portland to load flour for the ORR
ent and assist in keeping that service
from being demoralized. She is one
Of the Pacific Mail fleet, and has load
ed at Portland several times A num-
Der of years ago she took on nearly
10000 barrels of flour here for the
Far East, which IN to that time was
the largest cargo OF flour ever fIoated
in the world. The Algoa has been ly-
ing idle at San Francisco since early
in May, and it is claimed that she,
could have been sent here to load for
exporters were clamoring for ton
mage.
From the Sound the Algua is ex-!
pected to take at least 100000 bushels
of wheat on her coming trip the equi-
valent of about four cargoes for the
average sailing vessel Her cargo
will be delivered at some port on the
Mediterranean, and she will make the
passage via SueZ Canal stopping in
the Orient to replenish her bunkers
1t is declared that she can complete a
much quicker passage by following
this route than by going around Cape
Horn or through the Straits of Ma
gellan.
