tuats so rapidly. The prices on
raw silk are q good example. Not
many years ago nearly all the
transactions in that commodity
could be made by mail. The strain
on the Pacific cable was not as
great in any case because most Of
the trade between Asia and Amer
lea then went in q very runRbOut
way through England an dHOl-
land, and the Atlantic cables car
ried g coed part Of it. As q result
Of the war most Of this trade now
goes direct. But, aside from that,
the state Of the market In silk and
other goods demands daily cable
quotations. Options are usually
given, subject 70 acceptance BY ca
bic within certain length Of time.
It sometimes happens that 3 mes
sage giving such an option viii not
reach the prospective purchaser
until after time for acceptance has
passed. At times trade in certain
commodities has been practically
suspended for considerable periods
because Of this insufficient cable
service, according 10 Mr.. Eldridge.
Cable Often Breaks.
Not only is this one cable unable
to handle the business that comes
to it when in working order, but
every once in a while Il breaks,
as any cable may. A cable does not
lie still on the bottom Of the ocean,
but wTithes gently with the motion
Of the water, Of tides, ocean cur
rents and storms. Wherever Il
touches a mass Of rock or coral
there Is friction which in time
wears through the covering and
causes a short circuit, or perhaps
actually sewers the cable. Then
repairs must be made, and these
take from one to two weeks.
These delays, together with the
cOngested condition Of the cables,
make 1t a very unsatisfactory and
unreliable means Of cOmmunica-
tiOn.. You can cable across the
Atlantic and get an answer
promptly, but when you file a mes
sage to Japan, it may be one week,
two weeks, or even longer, before
the message is received.
Difficult To Find Break.
Repairing a cable Is not such a
difficult matter; the chief diHi-
Guilty is in finding the break. The
cable company has an instrument
which shows within 500 miles
where the break is located, but 500
miles Of cable must then be in
spected to locate the place exact
ly. Two ships are kept constant
ly in readiness for this WoFk-one
at Guam and one at Manila. II
usually takes one Of these ships
from fiVe to eight days to locate
a break.
Members Of the Senate commit
tee 20 which Mr.. Eldridge explain
ed the situation with regard to
cable service across the Pacific,
seem confident that a bill pFoVid-
ing for one or more new Govern
ment cables will be passed by this
Congress.
