.CARGOES ARE BIGGER
IN SUMMER Time

A simple and presumably. in a
maritime sense, ordinary announce
ment was made recently by d. de
Montemar, chief of the maritime de-
partment of The Commission for Re-
lief An Belgium, at II Broadway. New
York. Mr.. de Monfemar's anounce-
ment was that in estimating the dead
weight capacity of. steamers hereafter.
beginning with April rs. it will be
necessary to take into consideration
that all the captains of ships under
charter to the Commission with a
prospect OF good weather during their
trips from American ports to Rotter-
damn are expected to tender their
ships to load full cargoes under the
summer mark. This necessitates re-
vising winter estimates as to dead
weight capacity Of all steamers.
''of course, there facts" said Mr.
de montemar. "are well known to
all marine men. L4loyds make mark
ings on all ships-one for winter and
one for summer loading. If the mark
disappears. showing that the vessel
is overloaded, insurance may be can
ceied without notice. The distance
between these two markings averages
from six 10 seven inches, and safe
estimate Is that each inch added &c
the draft of the ship of the average
tonnage chartered by the Commission
adds thirty-nine tons that may be
loaded in her.
You may readily appreciate the
value of the additional tonnage that
a ship is allowed under the steamer
marking: IL it is six inches it adds
2T3 tons to her tonnage. Tnasmuch
as cost of freightage Is about $50
per ton ii means q difference of be-
tween $4,sos to $500 on a cargo.
That is 10 say--we save these sums
as the difference between winter and
summer markings. The reason for
making this difference in markings Is
very simple. In the winter time a
ship expects to encounter heavy
weather and storms, whereas In the
summertime the weather is usually
very much better. A comparison may
be made by taking a ride on horse
back through the park. where you
canter along with safety, and taking
ride over a precipitous mountain
road. where there are dangers"
In round figures the ships now In
transit to American ports. numbering
five. will have an additional tonnage
of eleven hundred and seventy tons
while the six steamers now chartered
to load In American ports. bound fol
Rotterdam. win have an additional
tonnage of more than fourteen hun.
dred tons. effecting a saving on the
freight for their cargoes Of fully $751;
400 for each voyage.

JUDGMENT there Is the protective work
of the auditing committee of the we'll
organized company. That in turn, is
backed up by the audit Of outside
expert accountants. who are employed
from time to time, and over all Is the
unhampered and understandable ex-
pert examination that Is made official
ly al frequent and irregular inter-
walls by the lynx-eyed independent ex-
aminers of The State Department OF
Banking. Under this varied and rigid
inside and outside supervision the
trust company must, of necessity,
move along lines OF honor and accu-
racy.
So well established has that fact be-
come and 50 marked Is the confidence
of the public In the great institutions
of this kind that their business Is
growing enormously, net only to their
satisfaction, but to the financial we'll

At the close of good week
In the local realty market came
the news of q development that
augurs well for the early fusurc
and realty men throughout the
city are more optimistic than
they have been In months. With
duliness due 10 make its appear
ance about. this time Of year, the
summer sIugfshness m'ually an
nounces itself In May the market
has had an unusually good week
something like 100000 having

The good news thai came at
ment that the American Locomo-
tive works here. which has orders
for large quantities OF munitions
De war for-the allies, found ID
possible to meet their needs for
larger space In the property OF
the Richmond Iron Works, about
Ave acres, on the Boulevard, near
the State Fair grounds.
The leasing of the Iron Works prop-
erty goes far toward confirming the
reports that the first contracts ass
signed by the American LOGON olive
Company to it's Richmond plant wera
followed by additional and larger
orders for shrapnel.
Many win Need Homes.
The facts that these big orders have
already come to Richmond and that
the Locomotive works is adding daily
to its force Of employees in prepare
ton for the beginning of work on war
orders. mean that the next six weeks
will see many men in addition to the
regular force put on at the plant. Al
large force will also be put to work
on the orders In the newly acquired
plant.
Realty men and business men gem
orally see in the large payroll, and the
enlarged forces, the coming OF many
new families to Richmond during the
early summer and the need for homes
in which to house them.
The usual summer falling off In
rentals, the usual summer quota OF
empty houses is not anticipated. That
property owners and building con-
tractors also a better period ahead.

RICE LOSES ANOTHER MAN
Cook Leaves Freshman Eight
Because of His Studies.

Rough water kept the Columbia crews
from rowing yesterday, but it did not
prevent Jim Rice from losing another
of his freshman oarsmen.
Cook, a regular in the first year boat,
who has been rowing No. ! since the
shake-up following the declaring Of
Keough ineligible, sent word to the
coach that he would be unable TO row
again this year, because of the diff
Guilty he is having with his studies. In
the last week he has been sent into a
laboratory class, which keeps him un-
til $50 O'Clock every afternoon, and
this makes rowing out of the question
for him. Rice has now seventeen
freshmen left.
It is probable that Dummy Manner,
who rowed bow in the championship
eight last spring, will be able to row
at Poughkeepsie, although he will not
be in the boat against Princeton and
PENNSYLVANIA on May 8. Manner Is at
the medical school, and his work there
keeps him until o'clock every even
ing. He has been putting in an hour
q day on the machines in the rowing
room, and will probably join the squad
after the final examinations late IN
May.
The varsity eight rowed forty-four
and one-half miles in five days last
week, breaking the days record for
the year on Friday with ten and one
half miles.
