SCHOONER M. A. BASTON ARRIVES
FROM SOUTH.
CARGO OF RED SNAPPERS.

AGAINST GOOD FISHING.
Activity In Savannah Harbor Com
mented Upon by Visiting Seaman,
Timely Rescue by Steamship St.
Dunstan of Schooner Nesta—Of In
terest to Seamen.
The schooner M. A. Boston, Captain
Carter, arrived yesterday from a fish
ing trip along the Florida coast. She
is docked at the foot of Barnard street.
She has a large load of red snappers
and other flsih which ■will be disposed
of in the local market.
The Baston was formerly in com
mand of Captian Morgan, the genial
little seaman so well known in local
shipping circles. It will be remembered
that during the recent severe gale off
the New England coast Morgan was
swept overboard While at the wheel,
with another man, who was also at
work aft. During his visits to Savan
nah Captian Morgan made a number
of warm friends, and the news of his
death was received here with sincere
regret. The Baston will dispose of her
cargo of snappers, after which she will
either return South or proceed North
to again engage in cod fishing off the
New England coast. The present trip
to the snapper waters was not an en
tirely successful one, owing to the in
clement weather that prevailed during
all time the schooner was at work.
Heavy winds and rough seas were de
cidedly against a successful fishing
trip.
Activity In Harbor.
Upon his return to Savannah a well
known sea captain was Impressed with
the business now being done in the
shipping line here as indicated by the
number of steamers that have sailed
and those in port loading and soon
to sail. The captain said business to
him looked pretty active in Savannah
harbor, and he contrasted what was
going on here with the business of
other ports, which puts Savannah in
line with the best of them.
The following is from the Liverpool
Journal of Commerce:
Messrs. Rankin. Gilmour & Cos., 51
South John street, the owners of the
Liverpool steamer St. Dunstan, have
received letters from Capt. Fortay giv
ing particulars of a timely rescue of
a shipwrecked crew on that vessel’s
homeward passage from Savannah to
Bremerhaven. He reports that at 3 a.
m. on Monday, Oct. 26, he sighted a
vessel showing signals of distress, toore
down upon her and found that she was
the schooner Nesta, bound from Cadiz
to St. Johns, N. F., and that she was
in a disabled condition, and the crew
requested to be taken off, as they wish
ed to abandon their vessel. Owing to
the state of the weather and the heavy
sea that was running at the time, Capt.
Fortay decided to stand by until day
light, when the St. Dunstan was hove
to to windward of the schooner, and a
lifeboat launched, in charge of Mr.
Spicer, the chief officer, belonging to
Liverpool, and manned by a volunteer
crew, was sent to the rescue- The
work of taking the men off the wreck
was a difficult one and attended with
great danger, but after several at
tempts the boat succeeded in taking
off the whole of the crew—five men
all told. After the men had been taken
aboard the lifeboat Capt. Fortay navi
gated his vessel to leeward of the
wreck and picked up the lifeboat. The
Nesta was abandoned in latitude 48.50
north, longitude 29.40 west, and was
partially dismasted, bulwarks gone and
decks swept, and Capt. Davis was of
the opinion that she would probably
founder soon after abandonment.”
Capt. J. C. Fortay of the steamship
St. Dunstan is well known and popu
lar in Savannah.

HANKER CLEWS* VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen from
AVnll Street.
New York, Nov. 28.—The most note
worthy feature in the market is the
differentiation between railroad shares
and the industrials; the latter being
weak and irregular while the former
are generally strong and scored unex
pected recoveries. As already inti
mated in these advices, this was the
inevitable result of exhausted liquida
tion and improved financial conditions.
The whole trouble had centered in Wall
street, and any improvement there was
certain to be reflected in values of se
curities having intrinsic merit behind
them. It is quite likely that the bull
contingent seized the first opportunity
for lifting the market, an opportunity
long desired; and there is no doubt
they had the moral if not the actual
support of big banking interests which
they expected to float very shortly.
In this connection it is worth noting
that the railroad situation continues
very satisfactory. Earnings are larger
than previous banner years, and many
of the well-known roads are earning
much in excess of present dividends.
One thing is as sure as any business
condition can be, and that is that there
will be no reduction in the dividends of
the well established and well managed
railroads, the margin of profit being
already so ample that a moderate con
traction of expenses or improvements
will insure the stability of dividends.
There are now two distinct parties
on the Stock Exchange: one bullish on
railroads, and another bearish on the
industrials. Whether such opposing
conditions will stimulate activity or
not remains to be seen. Much no doubt
will depend upon the Northern Securi
ties decision from the United States
Supreme Court, which is expected next
month.
WEEKLY MARKET* REVIEW.
By Wm. T. Williams.
While the cotton market continued
active, with frequent fluctuations, the
changes were generally moderate in ex
tent. The prevailing tendency was up
ward, and the close was firm at the
top, 25 to 30 points higher.
The firmness, which was well sup
ported by Liverpool, was caused by

Shortest and Quickest Route.—
aggressive buying by the big bulls,
some covering by shorts, and latterly,
cold weather. There was also much
talk about the forthcoming bureau es
timate of the crop, concerning which,
although the bulls profess the utmost
confidence in a very small figure, there
is great uncertainty in the trade.
The movement was very large, again
exceeding 500,000 bales, and the 5,000,-
000 bales by Dec. 1, predicted here a
month ago, is assured. By far the
heaviest comparative movement is in
Texas, where receipts were enormous.
This supports the recent statements
that over a large part of the state the
top crop is turning out much better
than had been believed possible.
Probably there never has been a bu
reau report awaited with more anxiety
than the one due this week. It is ex
pected to afford something authorita
tive in the way of furnishing a reason
able estimate of the actual yield, and it
will no doubt be so accepted. General
ly speaking, it is likely to be a quarter
to a half million under the actual fig
ures, owing to the great amount of
small and late planting this year in
unusual localities. Around 10,300,000 to
10.400,000 bales it would probably not
have much immediate effect. Should it
prove much smaller or much larger
than the average named, it will no
doubt exert a decided influence one way
or the other.
With the crop about three weeks late,
the amount in sight to Dec. 1 ought not
to be more than about 45 per cent,
of the crop, by comparison with for
mer years, and particularly as the pres
ent rate of movement is on such a
phenomenal scale. On this basis, the
crop should be, as previously estimated
here, about 11,100,000 bales.
THE CLOTH MARKET.
Manchester, Nov. 29.—There was a
large inquiry for cioths throughout
the past week, resulting in considerable
transactions. The market was strong,
with a hardening tendency, though
during the latter part of the
week the advance in cotton checked
operations. Makers frequently declined
to repeat recent sales, being dissatis
fied with the margins. Buyers, how
ever, are acting cautiously. Calico
bought largely. Cheaper and lighter
fabrics were mostly favored, though
there were reported sales of shirtings
which lately have been comparatively
neglected.
■ Operations for the China market are
increasing. Finished goods were in de
mand at improved rates throughout
the week, but the dealings in gray sta
ples were not important. The Levant
and South American markets are
more active, though transactions were
limited.
The general improvement In the
market has started a number of looms
in Blackburn, which have been idle for
months. There was little change in
yarns last week. A fair miscellaneous
inquiry was noted, however, which re
sulted in business being done where
producers did not hold for the full ad
vance shown by cotton.
BOOK NOTICES.
“The O’Ruddy” a romance by Step
hen Crane and Robt Barr, with illus
trations by C. D. Williams, Frederick
A. Stokes Company, publisher, 5 and
7 East Sixteenth street, New York.
$1.50, for sale at Connor’s Book Store
corner Bull and Broughton streets.
The head of this story "The O’Ruddy”
is an inimitable Irish blade, witty, au
dacious and irrisistable. The story is
full of humor, dash and incident. All
the world knows that Stephen Crane
was at work on the MS. of this novel,
of which he had completed the greater
part. When he started for the Con
tinent, Robert Barr, his friend, went
with hint as far as the Channel and
bade him good-bye there. Before sep
arating they had a long detailed talk
over the novel and its completion.
Crance thought that he would never
get well and expressed the strongest
desire that Barr should finish “The
O’Ruddy,” if he himself should not
live to do so. Afterwards Barr was
so occupied for a while with writing
“Over the Border,” that he was not
able to do anything with the story,
but finally he took it up, and car
ried it to a triumphant conclusion.
“The Humming Top” by Blanche
Willis Howard. Frederick A. Stokes
Company, 5 and 7 East Sixteenth
street, New York, publishers, cloth,
SI.OO. This is a handsomely Illustrated
little volume. Of course, K doesn’t take
long to read it, but fct is well worth
reading. It is a volume that would
make a dainty Christmas present.

McClure’s Magazine for December,
in harmony with the gentleness of the
season, moderates a little its strenu
ous, battering-ram tone of the last
few months. For the strenuous read
er, however, there are articles by Ida
M. Tarbell, Ray Sbarftiard Baker and
others. "When Elizabeth Went
Home,” by Ethel Bowman Ronald, Is
a tale of a lonely young wife who
almost deserts her husband and her
Dakota home in a burst of nostalgia
for the Christmas-tide of her mother's
house, but who is brought back in
time to her finer duty. “The Celes
tial Garment” is a tender story by
Mary Talbot Campbell of a child who
gets her much longed for and very
necessary party dress "from heaven,
right through mamma’s heart.” The
"Christmas Chimes,” of Margaret
Cambron, is a delightful comedy, per
meated with the fragrance of holly and
the warmth of yule-log—and love. Mc-
Clure’s Magazine. 141-145 East Twenty
fifth street, New York city.
The December Atlantic continues the
Atlantic series of papers commenting
upon American life of to-dav, with a
powerful paper on “The Church" by
Rev. Theodore T. Munger, in which he
discusses some immediate questions—
the needs and necessities of the
church; what its present stage of de
velopment is, and what its future. In
view* of the prospective nomination of
President Roosevelt next year, Charles
M. Harvey discusses under the title of
"Some Second Term Precedents,” some
suggestive features of past national
history as affected by presidential re
eleetions. Sir Leslie Stephen continues
his delightful and instructive remi
niscences with a chapter of his own ex
periences in editing. Apropos of road
building among the Moros, Maj. R. L.
Bullard, Twenty-eighth Infantry,
throws much light upon the nature and
characteristics of this people, and the
task that confronts us In the labor of
civilizing them. Arthur H. Kimball
discusses the "Profession of Publicist,”
apropos of the new Pulitzer Public
School of Journalism. Dr. William
Everett contributes a lively sketch and
paradox entitled ’’The Last Royal
Veto. Norman Duncan contributes
"Santa Claus at Lonely Cove;” Mrs.
Mary Austin, “The Golden Fortune;"
and Charles D. Stewart "The Colo
nel’s Accretion.” *
The leading article in the December
Pearson’s is the first of a series on
the organization and management of
the gigantic industrial corporations eff
the present day, to be contributed by
Mr. Henry George, Jr. His initial ar
ticle deals with the methods of
"finance” employed by the great Amal
gamated Copper Company. "Young
Men in Congress,” by Mr. North Over
ton Messenger, gives brief character
sketches of the younger of the many
notable men who will help to make up
the Fifty-eighth Congress. Mrs. Abby
G. Baker contributes an article on
"The Social Duties of Mrs. Roosevelt.”
which shows another Interesting side
of Washington official life. “The First
Lieutenant's Christmas Tree,” by
Edith Elmer Wood, is a story of a
Christmas celebration on shipboard,
into which is woven a pretty little ro
mance. “How Don Q. Played a Three-
Cornered Game," by K. and Hesketh
Prichard, is another instance of the
pretenatural ingenuity of this remark
able bandit chief in evading the snares
of his enemies. Dr. Cyrus Townsend
Brady is bringing near a close the
fearsome career of Sir Henry Morgan
—the notorious buccaneer—amid scenes
of almost incredible horror, where
Morgan, entrapped at last, bids defi
ance alike to God and man. "The Mys
tery of the Hammam Baths," by Ge
lett Burges and Will Irwin, tells of the
remarkable adventures of Admeh
Drake In a Turkish bath establishment
in San Francisco. These and other
articles make a prattcularly interest

story called "The Reward of Virtue,”
which is bright and sympathetic. "A
Redwood Santa Claus,” by Jerome Case
Bull, tells a story of a little boy’s de
termined efforts to have a Christmas
tree. It is both pathetic and amus
ing. Alfred Sutro has written many
good tales, but none better than “The
Bread on the Waters.” It is the story
of a misunderstood proposal of mar
riage. A little Christinas sketch by
Clinton Dangerfield called “Death and
Life” is a vision full of meaning. “His
Hour of Greatness,” by Elizabeth
Knight Tompkins, a charming story of
modern life, Is remarkably well writ
ten and absorbingly Interesting. “His
Wife” is an entertaining short story
by Tryntje Dubois. A humorous con
tribution from Mary and Rosalie Daw
son entitled “The Pastry Knife Pass-
Over” closes the number. Lippincott’s
Monthly Magazine, Philadelphia, Pa.
"The Eternal Triangle," the novel
which forms the principal feature of
the current number of Tales From
Town Topics, is a strong work of fic
tion. But it is told with such exquisite
art that even the slightest suggestion
of coarseness is avoided. This number
of the always atractlve quarterly Is also
very rich In short stories, poetry, es
says, witticisms, etc. A tale by the
late Col. Richard Henry Savage, called
"Gen. Stafford’s Morning Ride," Is real
ly a biting satire on the British army
officer. J. Alexander Patten contributes
a readable article on “Early New York
ers," and there are entertaining tales,
verses, etc. Town Topics, 452 Fifth av
enue, New York.
The December Century presents' a
large variety of seasonable material
both in text and in pictures, and is
particularly rich in color work. The
new cover, presented in the November
number, is further embellished by a
picture by George H. Hallowed of the
coronation of Charlemagne, which took
place on Christmas Day, 800, A. D.
Among the other holiday contribu
tions are Murillo’s "Adoration of the
Shepherds,” engraved by Cole; "A
Christmas Rescue,” by Albert Bigelow
Paine, with pictures by Miss Cory;
"How ’Sandy Claws’ Treated Pop
Baker,” by the late Elizabeth Cherry
Waltz, author of the "Pa Gladden”
stories; “Christmas Mangers,” by Em
ma E. Porter, and “A Christmas Dilem
ma." Appropriate to the season are
• Temptations To Be Good,” by Alice
Katharine Fallows, with pictures by
Charlotte Harding.
The range of fiction of the number
is further enlarged by a story by Roy
Rolfe Gilso, “The Poet of a Day,” il
lustrated by Ivanowskl; a humorous
story of much novelty by Maurice
Francis Egan, "The Valet of the Pas
tor,” reintroducing "Sexton Muginnls.”
Dr. James M. Buckley, author of the
paper published a year ago in The Cen
tury on "Dowie Analyzed and Classi
fied," writes of "Fanaticism In the
United States,” In which there is ad
ditional reference to "Elijah the Re-

with specifications, "The Dally Walk of
the Walking Delegate.” There Is a
variety of poetry and short humorous
sketches. The Century Company, Un
ion Square, New York.
The December St. Nicholas is a real
Christmas-stocking number, brim full
of holiday stories and pictures, verse
and fun. First there is a Jolly rhyme
on Santa Claus; “An Interrupted Auc
tion," by Carolyn Wells, with pictures
of the children's friend, and of this
hitherto unheard of incident in his
career. Ernest Thompson Seton tells,
with quaint picturing by Fanny Y.
Cory, “The Road to Fairyland.” There
is a merry Jingle of "St. Saturday”
by Henry Johnstone, with a large pic
ture of the old Saint. Six full pages
of glad, romping girls and boys, with
the cheeriest of verses, by Sarah S.
Stllwell, tell of “Happy Days." And
there are other shorter Jingles pleas
ant to read between the stories. These
are only a few of the good things in
the number. The Century Company,
Union Square, New York.
The Reader for December is partic
ularly bright and interesting. An ar- *
ticle that will attract attention is en
titled “Little Stories of Journalism,”
by Julius Chambers. The fiction of
the number is particularly good.
Travel plays a prominent part in this
number; in his series of "Countries I
Have Never Seen," Bernard Q. Rich
ards takes un to Russia. Vance
Thompson describes the Basque coun
try in his most stirring and poetic
fashion, while EM ward Hutton leads
his exquisite style to a dreamy picture
of the old Spanish town of Burgos.
Another article written with a great
deal of distinction Is an essay on "The
Modern Note," by Claude Bragdon. A
paper on Howard Chandler Christy
opens the new series of "Popular Ulus-
