SLUMP IN SHIPPING
Freight Rates Cut so Per Cent
on Last Years Figures.
From The Tribune Correspondent.


London, Oct 2.-The shipping business,
which has been enjoying such wonderiui
boom for the last eighteen months mas
got into a rather depressed state o"lhs "
the general reaction which seems 10 DC
striking all lines of trade. Freight rates
are down 30 per cent in many cases, whiie
tramp steamship owners are having
hard time to find cargoes. A year ago the
situation was just the opposite, Tor SNIP
pers were then clamorlng for bottoms ana
rates were soaring.
Both the North and South American
markets have been very DISAPPOINTING
this year. The Argentine crops were nan
died much earlier than usual and no"
the Argentine is short of money anu
wants no more ships, and owing 10 snort
crops vessels for Rio de Janeiro, Bahia
and other Brazilian ports have not been
able to get profitable cargoes for the
homeward voyage and have been sent 10
the ports of the United States They have
found short crops there also, and vastly
greater tonnage than was needed TO carry
the limited caryocs available.
The result has been that rates have been
dropping for several weeks. and many
ships have been turned to the Australian
and Indian trade and rice ports, with
once again the result of too much tonnage
and falling prices.
The Black Sea trade has been handl-
capped for more than a year. OF course,
by the war, and there is still poor
prospect for immediate business there
particularly as Turkey has once more
closed the Dardanelles, except for one
hour a day. The only future charters
being taken now are for the new wheat
shipments from the Argentine. which "ill

Money has attracted the attention OF
the public this last week more than for
some time past The beginning Of the
week exhibited an optimistic tendency I'm
view Of the reduction of the Reichsbank
discount rate from per cent to 5i2 per
cent. This was looked upon as especially
reassuring in view Of the heavy demands
for gold by Germany during the last Few
months and the necessity for the Bank OF
England TO maintain an unusually high
rate TO protect its gold reserve. further
emphasis on the improved monetary con-
ditions abroad was made in the Bank OF
England's statement on Thursday and the
fact that the Bank OF England did not in
crease its discount rate. The easier tone
abroad confirms the outlook of the last
few weeks for a return Of confidence fol-
lowing the settlement OF the Balkan STU
alton and indicates that the financial m
terests of Europe are now satisfied that
the Balkan trouble is over for the pres
ent, and. it is TO be hoped, for many years
to come on Friday the advance OF local
call money to 10 per cent was reflected In
the security markets, but as it was largely
due TO the preparations Of the banks for
the end of the month demands 1t was not
especially disturbing as whole, although
IT was unexpected. The announced impor-
tation Of gold from abroad caused some
discussion during the week, but on the
whole sentiment is against imports of gold
which might in any way tend to disturb
the foreign money market. The general
slowing down Of trade abroad and re-
duction Of industrial activity in this coun-
try will be conducive to easier money
barring the periodical requirements now
and at the end of the year and new fnan-
cling that NAV develop.

RAILROAD EARNINGS.

Gross earnings of United States rail-
roads sending weekly reports to "Dun's
Review" continue to make somewhat
Indifferent comparison with a year ago.
the total for three weeks in October
amounting to s0,49,2n, a loss of 09
per cent as compared with the $50, 70S-
40 reported by these roads for the same
period last year. The decreased total,
as heretofore, is almost entirely ac-
counted for by the falling off in the earn
ings of the railroads in the West and
Southwest, practically all of which make
smaller returns than at this time in 1912.
These losses are probably reflection of
reduced shipments of agricultural prod
ucts. resulting from the short crops in
many sections that were affected by the
drouth of the past summer. A much
more favorable exhibit, however. is made
by the railroads in the South, where an
active volume of business is indicated by
the increased earnings reported by such
important systems as Louisville & Nash
Vile, Southern, Chesapeake & Ohio. Mo-
bile & Ohio. Cincinnati, New Orleans a
Texas Pacific and Seaboard Air Line, the
gains on these roads nearly offsetting
the losses OH numerous lines in other
parts of the country. In the following
table are given the gross earnings of
all United States railroads reporting TO
date for three weeks of October and the
loss as compared with the earnings OF
the same roads for the corresponding
period last year; also for the roads that
reported for the two preceding months,
together with the percentages of gain
or loss as compared with last year:

IRON SMELLING HERE
Free Ore Will Be Favorable to
This District.

We have upon numerous occasions IN
the past prophesied the establishment Of
iron smelling furnaces on the shore of
New York Harbor. Our prophecy now
seems IN Wv 20 be bone out, in
asmuch as several projects for the cree
ton Of such plants are said to be in con-
sideration. says The Engineering ana
Mining Journal
The removal of the duty on iron ore
enables iron smelters on the Atlantic sea-
board to draw upon the immense iron ore
resources of Sweden, Newfoundland
Cuba, Brazil and Chill without any handi-
cap, while they may command, more
over. a supply from domestic deposits IN
the Adirondacks and in Texas. There are
optimists who reckon that when the barge
canal across the State of New York Is
completed it may be possible to fetch
Lake Superior ores to New York at less
cost than TO Pittsburgh.
New York commands a coal supply by
water from Norfolk, Va, and from Nova
Scotia If the coal be cooked In by
product ovens, as is done at everett
Mass, there will be a ready market TOT
all the gas that is produced. The STAG
from the blast furnaces Will NIL low
lying lands along the waterfront and con-
vert them into building sites worth many
thousand dollars an acre.
New York is already the greatest metal
lurgical centre Of the universe. Its I'D
Grafton from tariff bonds will increase
the magnitude of its smelling and rehn-
ing industries, which will be enhanced
moreover, by the opening of the Panama
Canal. Copper lead and nickel smeitins
is already done here. Iron smelling Will
soon be done, and we venture the
prophecy, Furthermore that some day we
shall see a revival Of zinc smelling, not
on the basis OF New Jersey and Penn
svlvania ores. as in the past but on the
basis Of imported ores.

Harry e. Thompson & Co.

Unlisted securities during the last
week have felt the improved economic
conditions made manifest in the partial
clearing OF the financial situation.
"Tha demand for unlisted securities Is
steadily increasing, it being realized by
the investing public that the prices Of
these securities are nearer fair basis
warranted by dividend return than are
many Of the old line issues. The steady
improvement in prices of unlisted stocks
is the best indication Of stability In the
underlying prosperity Of the country"

'Tn this country, as in others, period
Of twenty years has sometimes INTERVIEWED

fourteen years 1898 from 1897. Those who
pin their faith TO the twenty-year cycle

are to claim a distinction for 1913 or II
they do not disregard 1901 must pass on
that distinction to 1921

conditions have not improved in any
particular. The Mexican situation mas
grown worse Relations between this gov
eminent and European powers, growing
ont OF he Mexican troubles, are better
than they were. but the problem Of right
ing things in Mexico is as much unsolVed
and as difficult Of solution as II has been

weakness in Mexiean petroleum shares
was regarded as rejecting the seriousness
of the Mexican conditions.
"a lvance IN the call money rate to 10 per
cent was contributed to by various causes,
but was not satisfactorily explained by
those who held that it was reflection of
a purely temporary condition. Among the
causes mentioned were the sale of Sl2'Oo'-

Good Outlook For Oysters

Trenton, Sept. 24.-Reports to the
State Bureau of Shell Fisheries are to
the effect that this is the best season in
many years for the oystermen of Ocean
and Atlantic counties. The oysters are
in better condition than they have been
for years and the planters and shippers
look for better times than they have
enjoyed for a long time. The weather
and tidal conditions of the past sum-
mer appear to have been suited finely
to the growth Of the bivalves and they
are in the finest possible shape. No
better oysters than those that come
from Tuekerton and Great Bays ever
reach market and they will come in
for the"oyster week" which the bureau
is urging the people to observe from
October Goth to 25th. The CLAIMS Of
Ocean and Atlantic counties are also
greatly improved in quality and guam
tity this year.

Repose In the Hands.

If you have not paid especial atten-
ton to your hands do So. Watch them
carefully. See if you relax them when
they are not in gesture OF use. If you
keep them tense as though you were
holding on to something for dear life
it only means you are keeping your
nerves and muscles on an unnecessary
strain.
Make a practice of stretching them
out a little and then relaxing them,
letting them fall into place with all the
waste nerve force to a great extent
through their hands. They may be
able to keep the feet still. but the
hands are never quiet, never In repose.
never loosened.
All this means that v energy.
like Bill Apps courage, oozes through
her finger tips.
Possibly you are not conscious Of
how much perpetual motion there is In
your own hands. Take a day of to
watch them. If you find that you
twist and turn them, run them through
the hair and over the face, rap the
chair or desk with them IS you talk.
do-do give them a rest. You will
save yourself hours of energy and
throw back all that force into your
system to be used in more important
things.
Put these rules up on your dressing
table and imprint them in your mind
before you go out among people:
Keep your hands away from head
and face.
Do not pick up articles yer the
room and put them down again as you
talk.
Learn to drop the hands in the lap.
on the arm of the chair or at your side.
and do not move them unless 1t is nee
essary.
Constant gesturing is foolish. Don't
think It is expressive to talk with the
hands unless you know how to do it.
A few gestures gracefully done are
eloquent. Fidgeting the hand is stupid.

Duck Hunting in Louisiana

"Northern sportsmen can have no
idea of pleasures of duck hunting in
Louisiana, unless they have visited the
State and had actual experience" re-
marked J. A. Dayries, a member of
the Louisiana game commission, at the
Willard. Mr.. Dayries is also a MEM
Der of the national game commission,
and is much interested In the move
ment to protect migratory birds from
the guns of hunters.
ut isn't often that game birds over
run any hunting se%ction," continued
Mr.. Dayries, "but that is just what is
happening down in Louisiana. The
whole State is fairly flooded with wild
ducks and geese, and the hunting sea-
son will be the biggest we have ever
known In the State. The trouble is,
we shall not have enough hunters to
kill the birds. Under the Louisiana
law gunners are allowed to shoot only
in the morning. After u o'clock they
must shoulder their guns and go home.
But the presence of multitudes of black
and mallard ducks has putanew phase
on the situation. The big floeks Of
mallards have invaded the rice fields,
and have been eating up the rice to
such an extent that the State game
commission has granted 500 licenses
to rice growers, extending the time in
which they are permitted to shoot the
birds.
SNOW, these rice men ear kill the
ducks any time during the day. After
the ducks have finished with a rice
field it looks like a cyclone had struck
it. The damage to the rice crop, due
to the extraordinary number of mall
lards has been so great that 1t threatens
serious loss to the growers, hence the
extension of time in which the gunners
may shoot the birds. "-Washington
