FREIGHT CHARTERS
\ AT BOTTOM NOTCH
Vessels Are Offered Despite
Growing Indifference of
Shippers.

A combination OF unfavorable de-
velopments. including the railroad and
coal strikes. failing foreign exchange
and disturbing news from Germany
has depressed the ocean freight mar
ket and has reacted in particular upon
the ship charter business. The inquiry
and positive demand for tonnage has
shown a sharp falling off. while vessels
continue to be offered for charter de-
spite the poor prospects and the unre-
n1unerative rates obtainable.
Grain business in the last week was
approximately equal in volume to the
previous weeks record. but In the next
few days. it is believed, the cumula-
tive effect of the foreign and domestic
disturbing factors will become mani
fest. A large number of ships were
offered yesterday for Atlantic Range
loading for the Continent at 1917 cents
hundred pounds. the lowest rate at
which any business has been done late
1y, but without success. Shippers ap-
peared apprehensive of rail deliveries
because of strike delays, and inquiries
usually called for the option of Mon
treal loading.
Montreal rates have also weakened
and shippers are unwilling to pay more
than 1a1z cents, as compared with a
Is cent figure on the charters lately
concluded. To Italy the rate has also
received a setback. the last fixture
being at 1914 cents. drop Of 215 cents
since June.
Northbound sugar business Is not
being done on a charter basis. and
there are no fixtures reported for
Cuba-United Kingdom voyages, for
which the rate Is noninally 20 shii-
iings sixpence ton. Time charters Tor
West Indies round voyages continue to
show a little activity. but rates are
barely holding to their previous levels.
and interest centers about the handy
sizes OF ships. No coal charters were
done during the week, although inquiry
for one or two was in tho market

Lorger Fleets Make Bookings
Eosier to Get.

Passenger travel on the Atlantic
routes is about rs per cent. greater this
summer than last it is indicated by
records of the transatlantic lines from
January i to July 8. With the sailings
yesterday the eastbound rush was vir-
tually ended. though passenger officials
said the midsummer bookings were hold
ing up unusually we'll.

has to do to find the next big event on
the program is to follow the band. for
every time You hear a band play you
can make up your mind that it is play
ing the role of the "Pied Piper of
Hamelin" and is really going some
where and with an object in view. AS
most of the events are free and the
| only events that cost money are the
| two high grade baseball games, it is
a safe bet to follow the band any
| where it happens TO be heading

DIR. Schneider Claims
Jealousy Back of
Attempt to Gust Him

Macon, Ga. June 26.-Dr. Eugene
Schneider, who reported to police that
he was kidnapped Saturday. blindfold-
ed. gagged and taken into the country
and ordered to leave town, moved his
effects today from his home to hotel
and announced he was preparing to
leave Macon. Although he said he was
unable to fix a definite motive for the
abduction, DR.. Schneider said he was
told by his kidnappers that they did
not like his methods of advertising.
He told newspapcrmen his practice had
grown here and that jealousy might
! have been back of the affair.
