Xe;v York, Dec. 22.—There was a

Actual news developments played

Steel Didn’t Hold.
The additional advances In lines of
iron and-steel products did not hold
the prices of the United States Steel
stocks, and the only news of condi
tions that could account for their
heaviness Was of the trouble from
drouth and water supply for mills in
Western Pennsylvania and Eastern
Ohio. Money here was extremely easy,
out without power to stimulate the
stock market.' The market fell Into
practical stagnation in the fatter part

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. DECEMBER 23. 1904.
TO BUILD SHIPS HERE
PLANT FOR THAT PI R POSE TO BH
STARTED IN NEAR FI TI RE.
PAULSEN CO. TO OPERATE IT.
WILL BVILD ANY KIND OF VESSEL
TO BE CONSTRICTED OF WOOD.
Site for tlie New Plant Neenred on
Hutchinson's Riant! Opposite Cen
tral of Georgia Termlnnls—This
Port Offer* Many Advantages
Over Those of State* Further
North—Cheaper Material and
Longer Season for Outdoor Work
Chief Ones.
W’ithin a short lime, according to the
present expectations of those interested
in the plan. Savannah will have a first
class ship-building plant at which
craft of all kinds from schooners, barks
and other vessels of 500 tons and over
down to lighters, in fact every kind
of vbssel than can be profitably built
of wood will be turned out on de
mand. The new enterprise will be con
ducted by the Paulsen Company, which
will not only build and repair vessels,
but buy and charter them as well.
Plans for the new business have
been under way for some time, and
are now so nearly completed that ac
tual work at the plant will be started,
it is said, within the very near future.
The site tor" the plant has been secured
on Hutchinson’s Island, about opposite
the Central of Georgia terminals.
Suvun null’s Advantage*.
A member of the company, speaking
of the enterprise yesterday, said that
there is every reason why a port situ
ated so advantageously as is Savannah
should have a plant of this sort, and
should be able to build this class of
vessels in competition with any similar
plant, no matter where located. Asa
matter of fact most of the vessels now
engaged in the' coastwise trade are
built in the North Atlantic and New
England states, but over these Savan
nah would have many advantages.
In the first place the yellow pine of
which the majority of the vessels are
built is shipped chiefly from this sec
tion and could be secured by a local
plant cheaper than it can be had in
the North because of the cheaper trans
portation charges if for no other rea
son. The same holds good of the live
oak lumber needed.
Longer Season for Work.
Again because all of the work done
on vessels while out in the open this
climate offers decided advantages over
those of the more northerly states, in
that workmen can be out doors at
least nine months of the year, while
further up the coast the' period is lim
ited to six months or a little over. It
is stated, too, that there seed be no
scarcity of skilled labor, for this can
be obtained whenever steady work can
be offered. The Paulsen Company is
now having a schooner of 550 tons
built at Mystic, Conn. The vessel has
not yet been named.
EMILY F. NORTH AM
SOLD TO MONCTON FIRM.
To Be Repaired Here and Continue
in ConatnUr Lumber Trade.
The Emily F. Northam, which was
sold at public outcry about a month
ago and secured by Capt. Jacob Paul
sen and subsequently changed hands
to the Paulsen Company, has again
been sold. Is to be repaired and re
fitted here and when completed will
probably engage In the coastwise lum
ber-carrying trade as formerly.
Negotiations for the purchase of the
schooner have been going on for some
time between various Northern con
cerns and the Savannah owners, and
yesterday morning the offer of the
Sumner Company, of Moncton, N. B,
was accepted. The purchase price Is
said to be $2,000. The biiyers have noti
fied the Savannah firm making the
sale that Capt. Read will take charge
of the vessel Jan. 1 and will repair and
refit her here.
The Northam was formerly owned
by Thomas Winsmore of Philadelphia
and was In the lumber-carrying trade
on the coast. While making a trip
from Georgetown to New York with a
cargo she was badly damaged by rough
weather and becoming untenable was
abandoned by her crew, who first set
fire to the vessel to prevent it becom
ing a menace to navigation.
The burning schooner was discov
ered by the tug W. F. McCauley off
Frying Pan Shoals, was taken in tow
after the flames had been extinguished,
and brought to this port. By an agree
ment between the underwriters, own
ers and the Propeller Towboat Com
pany as salvors the cargo was sold
privately, and later the vessel itself
at public outcry.
The vessel is of 340 tons burden, is
built of oak and, for her tonnage, has
an unusually large carrying capacity,
being capable of taking a cargo of
340,000 feet of lumber. The needed re
pairs will consist of little besides se
curing anew mizzenmast and some
work on the waist, together with the
getting of the necessary sails. It is
likely that her new owners will change
her name, but this has not been an
nounced as yet.
MARINE
INTELLIGENCE
The Penacook, a government ves
sel from Port Royal, reached this port
yesterday morning and after remain
ing here the greater part of the day
sailed on its return trip In the late
afternoon.,

which arrived yesterday, spoke the
schooner Collins W. Walton off Fry
ing Pan Shoals. The Walton asked to
be reported.
