Bear Traces of Experience

No sooner was the vessel moored

of IL 500 tons of coal started and were 1t
not for the battered condition of her
bows it would be difficult to imagine
that the collier had but few hours
previously taken part in one of the
worst marine disasters in the history
of Canadian navigation. The officers
and men, however, bore traces OF the
narrowing experiences through which
they had Just passed. When question
ed on the subject of the disaster they
were averse to entering into CONVEX
sation. Captain Anderson. immedl-
ately after the collier locked, went
into conference with Capt. Owe DANCE,
American chief of the Maritime
Steamship Co, of Norway, and John
j. Griffin, attorney of the company,
both of whom came on from New York
to get the report of the captain and
sailors first hand and to look into the
situation.

Capt. Anderson's Report

Capt Anderson declined at first to dis
cuss the disaster, saying he would make
statement later in the evening. Sub
sequently a statement based on Capt.
Anderson s. report as well as the re-
ports of other officers to Messrs. DANCE
and Griffin, was given out.
According to the captain and officers,
contrary to what had been stated by
the captain of the Empress of Ireland,
the. Storstad did not back away after
the collision On the contrary she steam
ed ahead in an effort to keep her bow
in the hole which she had dug into the
side of the Empress. The Empress, how
ever, according to the Storstads Off
GERS, headed away and bent the Stor-
stad's bow to an acute angle to port.
After the Empress was hidden from the
view of the Storstad and despite the
fact that the Storstad kept her whistle
going she could not locate the Empress
until the cries of the victims in the
water were heard.

The captain absolutely denied that he
was a mile or so away from the EN-
press after his vessel struck the liner.
The Storstad had not moved it was the
Empress which had changed position,
he declared. According to the report
made by the captain to the owners, i'm
mediately the collision occurred he
heard Capt. Kendall shout, calling on
him not to pull away. II won't" shout
ed the Storstad's captain as loud as he
could. After that the Empress disap-
peared from the Storstads view.

Evening Grain Letter.

Minneapolis, Aug. 14-Wheat: The
market today has been practically a
repetition of yesterdays, a slow sag
ging market, with only feeble rallies.
The condition brought about by the in
ability of exporters to get their car
goes started for foreign ports, is prov
ing too much of a bear feature for the
market to hold. The buying power is
and until it is improved, there can be
no big sustained advance. Neverthe-
less, there Is a general feeling among
the trade that Europe needs our wheat
and that the officials at Washington
now in conference with business men
will devise a plan whereby we can
again begin to export. In the mean
time stocks are piling up and spring
wheat hedges Will soon be coming into
the market, this Is the entire rea-
son for the break the past few days.
The trade Is much lighter, and we
would not be surprised to see a furth-
err break, although we believe ultimat-
ely a rapid reaction will be the result
when this foreign export tangle is I'M
ravelled.
Corn-There were further rains over
the corn belt which has resulted in an
increased Offering of old corn by Ill
inois and Iowa points. The demand
from the east is less urgent and a
break in prices has been the logical
result The situation, however, is not
much changed, but the market is now
a more two sided proposition which
should be bought on the breaks and
sold or the bulges.
Oats-Have shown more strength
than other grains today. New York
reported France and Great Britain buy
ing there quietly for the past few days.
a certain extent by corn, but they are
relatively cheap and we favor the long
side on the declines.
