FREIGHT RATES CUT
BY WATER ROUTE TO
POINTS ON PACIFIC
Shipments by Steamships
From This Port via Pan
anna Canal Cheaper Than
Rail-No Great Difference
in Time.

While no definite schedule of rates has
been settled upon by the steamship COM
panies operating lines between this port
and Pacihc Coast ports via the Panama
Canal. it is considerably cheaper to ship
on the water than 1t is over the trans
continental railroads.
The difference in time is not great
Steamships have made the run from here
to San Francisco in II days, which COM
pares faVorably with the time taken for
goods to reach their far Western destl-
nations on railroads.
The establishment of regular sailing
schedules by the American Hawaiian and
the Luckenback lines has diverted much
OF the freight that formerly Travelled
across the United States by rail- The
steamships are not having any difficulty
in securing cargoes either direction, and
the business is gradually expanding.
Lumber shipments from the West by
rail will most likely be abandoned by the
lumber men of the Pacific coast in favor
of the waterway route, because of less
expense.
In addition to lumber, the Western ship
pers are sending here in large quantities
salmon, fruit and wine. These products
comprise Is per cent. OF the freight car
ried from California, oregon and Wash
ington ports.
Returning from this port the steam
ships carry large quantities of canned
vegetables, soups, textile goods and steel
products. etc. The steamship companies
now operating here figure on 20 days as
an average voyage between this port and
San Francisco.
Bound for this city at present in the
American-Hawaiian service are the giant
steamships Washington, Ohioan and Mis-
souran. The latter is due here either
today or tomorrow. The Luckenback
company has the steamship Stanley Dol
lar en- route,

ROBERT G. GTLFoRT

ORANGE N. j., oct. s.-Robert Charles
Gilfort, who for 30 years was known as
a circus acrobat and who gained interna-
tional recognition because Of his collec-
tion OF relics, died here yesterday lie
was SO years old.
Born in st Louis, Mr.. Gilfort was
son az Herman GIlfort, one of the pioneer
settlers Of Missouri. At the age OF 10
he ioined a circus, which visited all the
frontier towns. When the circus was
stranded he became scout in the union
cavalry service. He served throughout the
war and then Joined another circus with
mis- brothers, Frank and Otto Gilfort. The
brothers started collecting Indian relics.
When they gave up performing, about 20
years age, their collection was valued at

Nineteen years ago Robert Gilfort es-
tablished here the Deer Head Inn. Often
when Theodore Roosevelt visited his
brother-in-law, Douglas Robinson, in West
Orange, he would look over the collection.
The inn was also one of the few public
places Thomas A. Edison visited.

REDUCTION OF STEEL
DIVIDEND MET WITH
MUCH FAVOR IN N. Y.
Small Disbursement That
Was Earned Better Than
Large One, Which Would
Add to Deficit.

Tho reduction of the United States Steel
.o,,r,on dividend was regarded with gen.
.r.l favor in New York, most of the COM
.nont being that It was better to pay a
email dividend that was earned than "A
large one, which would add to the deficit
of the two preceding quarters.
II was expected that the decreased dis
,ributton would be reflected in pressure
In the open market, but, although there
was a marking down of the trading quo
,ation to 80, the supply was scant and the
few offers came probably from the small
fry speculators, who are working on their
own account
Probably too much Importance has been
attached to the scattered offerings OF
money at concessions from rates charged
on standing loans. The various new
loans made in the past few weeks reach
a comparatively small aggregate and do
not indicate any material increase in
supply. The banks, instead of working
for relaxation in the money situation, are
devotng their efforts to strengthening
their own position.
With the practical retirement Of the
Clearing House certificates, these efforts
are now directed to the return of emer-
gency currency. Today the New York
banks lost 81, ,7700O to the subtreasury in
payments for the purpose of retiring
emergency circulation, and 1t is hardly
to be expected that there will be q lib
eral supply of money or a normal flnan-
cial condition In the security market un-
til all these notes are retired by the New
York banks
The exchange situation, on the other
hand, does not command the attention It
deserves. With sterling exchange back
to normal rates, when insurance and
other increased charges are considered,
1t is not comprehended that this situa-
tion could exist If the fears of an ava
lanche of foreign security holdings on
our market still constituted q menace to
our financial affairs.
Because of this some of the leading
dealers in foreign exchange assert that
the chief obstacle to the reopening of the
Stock Exchange has been removed, and
that the foreign exchange rates in them
selves indicate that any danger of for
eign selling has either been removed or
amply provided for.
Dealings in municipal bonds and short
time maturitles continue brisk. Penn
sylvania 31ss are 9S bid and all the APP
proved short-term notes are ranging well
above the July 80 prices. The new New
York city loan issues, continue firm and
q good demand Is in evidence for the
longtime city issue.
Sterling exchange ruled steady today,
with demand at 400 and cables at 49O15.
There was an increased business in Paris
exchange, rejecting broadening of COM
mercial activities.

FEELING IN WHEAT
MARKET FAVORING
RALLY AFTER FALL
Selling Scattered and De-
mand Fairly Good-Ex-
ports Sell at Best Premium
Over Futures.

CHICAGO, oct. 2s.-Sentiment In the
wheat market today is favoring a rally
after a three-day decline The tone at
the outset was irregular, with December
UP "a and May off "a, but after the start
prices were uniformly stronger The SELL
ing was scattered and the demand fairly
good.
Export wheat sold today at the best
premium over futures on the crop to date.
1t was said that the recent decline had
checked selling by the country, but the
movement is expected to keep up for
some time as result of last weeks
sales from the farm Yesterdays export
business exceeded 1,OO000O bushels.
The market at Liverpool closed a
to &d. lower. Australian wheat there,
however, was UP I'd. Manitoba and
winter parcels were down Sd. and Indian
offers were heavier Crop advices from
India and Argentina remain favorable.
Corn was irregular at the start on con-
tlnued good weather for conditioning the
new crop. Pit traders were against the
market at the outset. but later went over
to the buying side, and the market rallied
on purchasing by commission houses.
Princes at Liverpool closed 11hd. lower.
Corn cargoes at Liverpool were weak at
a decline of Cd. with plate offers free.
oats was active and fairly firm, with
cash concerns the best buyers. Liverpool
cabled there was but small attempt
there to trade in foreign oats, as pricet
were too high. Countries outside of Great
Britain continue to buy freely and large
contracts are being made in Argentina for
forward shipment.

ceipts of hogs at the yards and an ad-
vance of 10 cents in prices.

START WORK HERE TO
RAISE CITY'S SHARE
OF Big COTTON POOL
Local Bankers Anticipate No
Trouble in Raising $l0,-
100000 of $135,000,000
Fund.

The work of floating s1o.OOGOOO as this
city's share in the slS5.OOO,OOO cotton pool.
to be raised for the relief of the South
crn cotton planters, will be started inn
mediately under the direction of Levi L.
Rue. president of the Philadelphia Ma
tional Bank, who has been named by
Secretary McAdoo as head of the Phila-
delphia delegation on the Administrative
Cotton Committee.
This committee will supervise and ham
die the entire fund for the Government.
According to several members of the
leading cotton firms In this city, the
plan looks very good and more sensible
than the proposed "buy-a-bale-of of-cotton'
movement, organized when conditions In
tho South became serious.
Cotton today is worth about TX cents
q pound and has stood at this price for
some time, not reaching the 10 cent
mark in many weeks. To buy bale of
cotton at 10 cents was paying much more
than the market price.
The plan agreed upon by the Govern
ment is to loan in the neighborhood OF
from $40 to s25 bale on the cotton in
warehouses. The cotton, at the present
market price of III cents n pound, Is
worth between $35 and $40 bale. The
Clearing House Associations in cities
where the pool Is to be formed will be
agencies for the collections of the allot-
ments When the subscriptions have been
made. certificates will be issued to each
bank by the general committee to the
amount of it's subscriptions, and on this
amount a bank may obtain through the
National Currency Association emergency
loans to the amount of 70 per cent. of Its
holdings.
Mr. Rue, in charge OF the Philadelphia
fund, could not give out any definite plan
as regards the local fund, but no trouble
is anticipated by local bankers in the
raising of S1O,O0o,oOO among the local
banks,
