AT PRESENT Growth of Panama Canal Surpasses Most Sanguine 'Expectations.- ....... SHORTAGE OF CARRIERS Steamship Companies 7 ace Zr Prosperity, Bays Xiocal eprV santativa f Liu, Thousands of tens of freight a week la being refused bv ateamahiD companies operating between the At lantic and Pacific coast according to advices received here. The blir fleets of the American-Hawaiian Steamshin company, v.. k. Grace & Co.. the LuckCrtbaCK Steamahin Co. and the Sudden & Ctariatcnsen lines are aaid to be unable to' care for the offer. lng. . . a That the Panama canal trade would arrow to aiucn nroDortlnna was probably never dreamt of by the ateamahiD ' men of this countrv. With very little lumber as yet belna- moved to the Atlantic seaboard the-v are unable to care for the offerings With the lumber now berlnlnr to loom aa a strong commodltv an even greater shortage of carriers la to be faced, r- Th steamship companies are fac- lOC tha '.a-reateitt ' ura.

W hnvn ttAAn able to Diiah further and fnrthnr in. land ojn each coast with the result that the offerings ar enormoun" The wornt feature of the present condition, say local steamship men, is tha pronounced shortage of suitable carriers. The United States Is realiz ing aa never before her lack of a merchant marine. Within the past 60 days every carrier of any size has boon requisitioned and only obsolete models' and small coasting; steamers re main Idle. And with all this actiyity th' railroads are reporting an . im proved; movement of transcontinental freight. "Owing to the demand for. the movement of material to Europe from the . Atlantic coast of 1 the United States fwe are unable to add to our fleet,: i said O. M. McDowell, local manager for W. R. Grace & Co. "The coast trade is a fixed-one so far as rates go and this precludes us char tertng r vessels. The trans-Atlantic trade is paying a charter rate higher than his been known in- years and we could not go Into the ' open charter market! and secure American steamers for. this trade without losing money om thel arrangement. Building new steamers is the only avenue of relief open to us. NEWS OF THE PORT ' j Departures January II, ' ' I Bnasjr American iliiir.
