First Mishap, Says
Atlanta Agent of Line

Samuel c. Porter, Atlanta agent
for the Old Dominion Steamship
Company, said Friday morning that
the accident which sent the Monroe
TO the bottom of the ocean off Nor
folk, after a collision with the Nan
tucket, was the first mishap the ship
has experienced since she was launch
ed six years ago The boat, with the
exception of the Madison, was the
newest of the line, and was consid-
cred the best. She had a capacity OF
400 tons of freight, and accommo-
dations for 225 first class passengers.
This is the off season for ocean
travel, and to this fact Mr.. Porter at
tributes the fact that there we're only
81 passengers aboard when the ves-
sci went down. Usually the Monroe
carried a much larger passenger list.

GRAIN GOSSIP

The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "A
majority of traders talk bulish on
wheat, but do not stand any punish
ment. With weather conditions uncer-
tain and cold weather predicted for
next week, the traders said there Is
little disposition to sell wheat short for
more than a quick turn. even though
top prices yesterday we're the highest
for several months.
The big short interest in corn has
been cut down and the country has
bought for future delivery of late on the
short crop theory, and a belief that all
will be wanted before another crop 10
available"
Corn was isc lower on larger Argen-
tine shipments than expected and in the
face OF an advance of I'D in Liverpool.
The weather over the belt was general
ly cool and clear and favorable for the
handling Of corn.
Oats were fairly well sustained by
good buying. Offerings were liberal.
Provisions were fractionally higher.

ten times over, since such news seems
to give assurance that the trade will

bles were little lower than due but
there was a scattered demand on and
after opening, which rallied prices a few
points. The buying was said to come
from the trade and shorts.
There was no evidence of any sub
stantial support until May reached 12.14,

The bullish element is laying low these

The Impression is that there is a scat

It is generally believed that February

FRUIT SHIP RAMMED IN FOG
Vessel Sinks in Shoal Water After Col
lision in New York Harbor

New York Oct. 16-The steamship
Metapan, coming from Colon, foundered
in the lower harbor late Yesterday
after collision with the freighter
Iowan, leaving port for San Francisco.
All of her a passengers and her crew
were rescued. The lowan, less seri-
ousIy damaged, stood by and her boats
took aboard two of the Metapan s pas
seugers. The remainder were trans
ferred to rescuing craft and landed in
New York last night.
The crash occurred in dense fog.
The freighter was first seen when she
was only short distance away. In
an effort to avoid the crash the lowan
is said to have let GO her anchor, but
the headway was greater than she could
overcome. She hit the Metapan about
80 feet from the bow of the ship on
the port quarter, blowing through the
steel and iron and inflicting wound
that caused the Metapan to fill quickly.
The wireless operator ON the Meta
pan Immediately sent IS. o. s. calls
for assistance, which were answered
quickly by six or eight vessels.
As soon as it was seen that the ship
was sinking he was headed toward
shoal water. The boats were ordered
out, and all hands were taken off with
out panic or confusion.
