Ship Owners Willing To
Take Chances Reap Golden
HarOest As Result of War

New York, Dec. 8-Opportunities
for ship owners here whose vessels
have not been interned by reason Of
being under the flag of one or another
of the beIligerent nations. to reap a
golden harvest have assumed such pro-
portions that a fortune might now be
reaped in comparatively few voyages
by an ocean carrier.
Not in many years have ocean freight
rates touched the high mark which
they now occupy. Two and a half cents
a pound is being offered for the trans
pOrtatiOn Of cotton to continental En-
ropean pOrts-a rate at which the car
riage of a single cargo would pay half
the cost of the ordinary freighter.
Similar rates are offered on many
other products which the United States
is anxious to sell and Europe is equal
" anxious to buy. The fly in the ship
owners ointment, however, is the I'M
certainty as to what viii happen to his
vessel when she sets forth across the
Atlantic, no matter how innocent her
cargo may be. While apparently Ger
man cruisers have been cleared from
the Eastern ocean as a result Of the
recent naval engagement Off the Falk-
land Islands, a big patrol fleet OF Brit
ish WarShips is maintaining rigid
scrutiny of vessels arriving at or leav-l
ing American ports, which could hardly
be more effective if an actual war
blockade were in force. On the other
side Of the Atlantic a similar guard is
maintained
Ships under the American flag with
neutral cargOes and bound to neutral
ports have been repeatedly held up,
diverted from stheir courses, seized and
held for such long periods Of time as
as TO inflict serious loss on their OWL
ers. Ships Of other neutral nations
! suffer the same treatment
Practically the only ships that can
ply the Atlantic unmOlested under
present conditions are those that fly
the British flag and these are reaping
a rich harvest.

Ell Paso Banker Has
Ancient Newspaper
Found in ToneOn

President. J. S. Reynolds Of the First
National bank possesses a copy Of the
New York Sun dated 1S33-the year
the Sun was born. It is a small four
page sheet, brown with age; the type
is very small Mr.. Reynolds has writ
ten to the sun to establish the genuine
ness Of his copy. which he values
highly.
The paper was found in Torreon,
Mex, not long ago, among a lot OF
old papers stored in a vault where it
had lain at least 25 years and possibly
longer. as shown by the dates Of many
other documents and papers found with
this one, and by the absence OF any
dates within the last quarter century
The finder brought the copy Of the
Sun to Mr.. Reynolds, who at once saw
its value as a curiO
This paper was issued only three
years after the first practical locomO-
tive propelled by steam had drawn
cars on rails. It was issued II years
before steam displaced the stage coach
on the journey from New York to Al
bany, 20 years before Chicago and the
eastern SeabOard were connected by
rail, ard 26 years before a line of rails
reached the Missouri river. All the
news in the paper came by horse drawn
stage or packet boat, not only from
over seas but even from Jersey Citv.
L ~
steam driven ship is advertised, but
most Of the advertisements of water
carriers of passengers and freight are
those of fast sailing ships"
The paper, small as it is, is largely
given over to stories Of light fiction
and local news more or less trivial.
There is little attempt to cover the
general news of the time. Perhaps the
most interesting thing in the old sun
paper is the long table of current quo
tatiOns on state bank notes. The notes
of many banks in all the different
states, hundreds of different issues,
are separately quoted, like speculative
stocks or commodities, at so much
premium OF discount a remarkable
number Of the banks are listed as
broken" Many of the notes were
assigned only a nominal value. Bank
ing in those days was like keeping an
old clothes shop, it would appear from
this table of banknOte values. 1t was
like the present Mexican currency sit
uation multiplied by 40 in completely
and speculative features. Bad as was
the national bank note plan just lately
abolished, it must have brought a
mighty relief from the old conditions
OF almost unrestricted validating.
