SHIPPING WAR IN PROGRESS
London Complains of Different Inls
Allowed Jfw York to Sooth
African Port.
LONDON, May 2T.-tSpecial Cablegram to
Tho ltee.) At the present moment three
shipping wars are belnir waged for th
purpose of assisting foreigners to compete
successfully with British manufacturer In
South Africa, Australia nnd Indian markets.
South African freight rates and the pref
erence given to exports from New York
are causing endless comment here. These
American exports enjoy preferential ship
ping freights which give them an advantage
of from 10 shillings to $0 shillings a ton
(forty cubic feet). The war between the
conference lines nnd tho competing British
Prince line from New York to South Africa,
to which these freights are due, lasted for
years. Two months ago the war looked like
coming to an end, but In March the German
Hnnsa line left tho conference and Is now
an outside competitor. Great Britain has,
therefore, a new campaign Just beginning
between tho British conference lines from
New York and the Prince and Hansa lines.
The American exporter has, therefore, a
prospect of a prolonged war, giving him a
substantial preference In shipping freights
to South Africa over his British competitor.
Concerning the freight war In trade be
tween New York and Australia on one
side are four British lines and opposed to
them Is an American company nnd tho
White 6tnr line (nominally American, but
British In management). Goods are being
carried from New York to Melbourne from
17 shillings 8 pence to 30 shillings a ton less
than the same classes of British goods from
London or Liverpool to Australia. In the
samo way American exports to New Zen
land are receiving a preference of from
7 shillings 8 pence to 30 shillings a ton over
those from this country.
In the Indian trade the circumstances are
different. Here there is a purely inter
national struggle between the P. & O. and
British India lines on the one hand and
the German Hansa line on the other. But
the effect is much thn same fn Its nature
as In tho South African and Australian
trade. The competitive reduction of freight
rates between Antwerp and British India
by the German Hansa line of Bremen as
against the P. & O. line has stimulated tho
exported trade In the Belgian mineral
market with India and the far east. It Is
also obvious that while the British com
panies and the Hansa company are cutting
freight rntea between Antwerp nnd India
It is possible for German exporters to ship
much more cheaply to India via Antwerp
than British exporters can ship from
London.
The position of British shipping companies
at the present time Is very difficult. The
ship companies are subject to unlimited
competition, both by their own countrymen
and by foreigners. The foreign competi
tion may be and sometimes is a subsidised
competition, and British shipping com
panies, fighting for their existence, are
driven to look upon self-preservation ns
the first law of nature. The problems of
these freight wars are very complicated.
They might with advantnge be fully In
quired Into by a special committee of the
Board of Trade with a view to ascertaining
ome means of protecting the Interests of
British manufacturers without doing Justice
to the shipping industries. It I every
where argued that the British export trade
must not be allowed to remain a mere
counter In the game of warring shipping
Interests
PRESIDENT OF KUNANI TALKS
Head of Reported South American
Repnbllo Tell of Object and
Resonrces.
LONDON, May 27. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) Monsieur Le Duo de Brexet,
president of the Free State of Kunani, in
South America, and "head center" of tho
alleged plot to overthrow the Brazilian
republic and restore the old monarchy,
was interviewed here last week on the
subject.
Monsieur Le Duo de Brexet, who Is of
thn old nobility of France, explained with
ft strong French accent, that he Is more
American than French.
He wai re-elected president In 1903 and
has been In Europe on statu business about
twelve months.
The Free State of Kunani, the president
explained, Is about the size of England.
It Is bounded on the north by British,
French and Dutch Guiana, and by Vene
uela, and on the west and south by
Brazil, and on the east by the South At
lantlc ocean. It hus two ports, Kunani
and Macapa, on the Amazon, and a bay
near Kunani City large enough to hold
the largest warships In tho world. The
president laughed merrily when asked If
that was where he was going to keep his
new warships, and said: "Ah, yes, when
I get them; but first we need ships of com
merce more.
"We don't wish to be mixed up with
such foolish suggestions as warships and
revolutions and things of that sort. We
have no such Ideas. We don't want any
thing to do with Brazil and everything
will be quiet so long as Brazil leaves
us alone."
The president explained that since 1874
Kunani has actually been a free republk
and has had ten presidents, of whom ho Is
the tenth. There are 300,000 civilized in
habitants and about 15,0ijo,0i.n) Indians, and
the chief products are rubber, mahogany
and timber generally.
"Both France and Brazil claimed our
territory," snld the president, "and they
referred tho question to arbitration by
Switzerland, Irrespective of our views. In
1900 the Swiss trlbunnl decided that the
country did not boiong to France, but it
did not say that it belonged to Brazil.
Brazil then made a raid on Kunani, which
was repulsed with a loss of 800 men.
"Tho suggestion of our enlisting an army
with which to fight Brazil Is ridiculous,"
he continued. "A number of Spaniards are
anxious to come and get their living In our
country and are only awaiting the op
portunity We have also had Inquiries
from Boers.
"My object In being In Europe Is to
procure the recognition of our Independence
by Europe, and, although Britain may not
be the first to acknowledge us, I believe It
will be the second. We have the good
will of every country except Brazil, which
wishes to. throttle our trade.
"Brazil would be well advised," the presi
dent concluded benevolently, "to agree with
us while we are willing. For Brazil's
sake it 1 tn he hoped It will not again at
tempt to Interfere with us."

FUTURE DELIVERY BUSINESS IS GOOD
Tomato Situation
Interesting and
IT.. I tlarlia t'naef i led I.e t ha? r V
I Unlet nnd Dry Goods Hons
Trnde Quite Loraje.
V
With good weather for the last week the
country retailers have been coming Into
the city to select their rail goods. The
situation in this regard Is better than usual
and may be attributed to the fact that the
farmers, who have been delayed In their
work by wet weather, ure now very busy In
the tlclils and have no time to get to town,
thus giving to retailers a chance to make
the wholesaler a visit. They have been
taking advantage, of tho good weather to
come In, because they know that they nre
the least busy now when tho farmers are
most busy, 'i'ho week before was a good
one In this respect, but tho number of
visitors at the wholesalu houses last week
was much Breatcr.
Notwithstanding the urgent demand for
farm work, the retailers report that they
are enjoying a good business, esiieclally In
the grocery line. The demand Is easing up
on certain articles which are classes a
summer goods, but It Is being transferred
to other lines. Indications are that tho
lute business in summer goods of nil kinds
will be fully up to the standard. If not
above It. Although the spring sales of
imnimer weights In shoes and dry goods
have been very large, yet any number of
nu rchnuts will find it necessary to replen
ish their stock before th summer Is over
and some of them will have to make fur
ther purchases In some line before it Is
even well begun.
Leather Trade SIott.
Local jobbers In leathpr goods speak of
n slow demand for Immediate delivery, yet
they are not complaining, for with them
Fuch a condition is but the natural thing;
nt this time of year. The orders for fu
ture delivery are satisfactory, and they
know that on the whole the summer's
business will be a big one. Altogether,
the wholesalers are well pleased with the
conditions now prevailing.
There are no complaints In tho mntter
of collections. They are reported bv all
Jobbers as good for this time of year.
No very great changes In prices have
taken place during the week. Tho most
marked advances have been In groceries.
Dry goods have held at about the same
figures nnd the continued advance In
leather has changed the prices some. Deal
ers do not fear a decline to amount to
anything In any line, as they say that
the demand from now on will be equal to
the supply. Especially will this bo true
of new goods, which are Just lielng rlaced
on tho market. Those who ought to know
fay mat tne general tendency should be
upward, rather than downward.
Tomatoes a Kent ure,
. A feature most Interesting to tho Job'
blng grocer the lust week has been to
matoes. For some time there has been a
steady selling out bv holders who have
been compelled to realize, and the market
nun neon strong one day and weak the
next. In tho last ten days, however, there
has been a decided change in feeling.
Without exception, so far us is known
here, no tomatoes are now to be obtained
nt prices that were ruling two or three
weeks ago. The net advance Is about 5
cents a dozen. Coupled with this situa
tion Is the fact that a large part of the
Inferior stock has been moved Into con-
.u,,i , , v it,, ii in-in. nun kiiiiii? now uneie
mat were sold at the low prices.
i-xo cnanges are reported in corn, i-'eas
are a little str-r,,. with few offerings.
Tho price Is still low.
Most oyster pacers report that they
nre unable to fill orders complete, and It
eeoms now as If there would be some
shortage before the now goods are avail
able In November.
Sardines, one-qunrter oil, are offered
lower than they have been for some time,
while three-quarter mustards are very
strong at the recent advance. Very few
mustards so far have been packed.
Fish Are High.
The market is high, indeed, on Holland
herring and family whlteflsh, and there is
no Immediate prospect of a decline in price.
Irish mackerel of tho 1906 catch are being
sold at prices considerably higher than lust
season. The dealers do not look for as
low prices this year, for the catch up to
date In the l'nlted States has boon ma
terially less than lust season and all the
mackerel has been sold fresh, bringing high
prices. The supply of pink salmon is about
all gone. Prlcea on red sockeye salmon
will be a little less than tho opening prices
of a year ago. Good reports of the fish
run In I'uget sound are now beginning to
come and the packers are making actlv
preparations for the season's business.
Dried Frnlt Active.
Trade Is reported active In dried fruits.
Most of the special offerings of peaches
for fall delivery have been withdrawn.
The situation is not nt all clear. While
there are prospects for a good crop, the
dinners will come in for an unusually large
amount, and large quantities will be
shipped east as fresh fruit, so what the
outcome from the grower will bo In the
way of dried fruit is problematical. On
spot peaches and apricots the market Is a
little bit easier, caused by the near ap
proach of the shipping season for uprloots
and the lower prices offered for peaches
for fall delivery,
The rice market In the south continues
to advance, and as the situation is con
trolled by those who ure able to hold the
goods, there is hardly any probability of a
decline In the market and an advance
probably will take nlnco.
In fancy groceries the demand has been
very satisfactory. There has been practi
cally no change in prices.
The market Is very strong on woodnnware
in all lines. There are no changes In quo
tations for the week, but there is an an
ticipated advuuee on wooden tubs and pails
and wooden butter dishes.
Dry Goods Jobber Busy.
The house trade of the local dry goods
jobbers hus been good, for both current
shipments and fall delivery. Tho order
business, too, bus 'con satisfactory, both
direct and through ilesmen. The advance
order business Is bitter than for tho cor
responding time of lust yea'. A big bus.
ness is being dune In blankets, domets,
dress goodH and other fall specialties. The.
market on cotton goods continues strong, -although
no quotable changes have been
made In the price lor lending brands. Some
revision In tho prices of hIhiiIh print ha
been expected, but the manufacturers have
not reported yet what they ure to be. Col
lections are very satisfactory.
There is a continued advance in the price
of leather goods. This has been going on
for eight or nine months, but yet thura Is
no check in It. The stock of leather seems
very light indeed. A noted udvancu In in
upper stock. That which Wad quoted a
Week ago ut Zi cents Is now 2B rents. The
shoo business 1m naturally quirt In th
country towns. Tho pilnclpal orders being
booked now ure lor full delivery and the
shipments will bruin in about a month.
The "ut once" business hus Incn better all
spring than it was last year, until lost
week, when there wus a noticeable fulling
off. In geneiul, the business may bo said
to be quiet, but full ordiTB wll bo heavy
from now on.
Hardware Active.
The hardware trade is good. It Is not a
heavy us it was u month ago, because of
tho fact that the farmers am now ut work
In thu Held. The best demand, of course.
Is for farm Imp'rinentH, und tho farmer
seem to be buying this year with tho Idea
that they must iiuve plenty of thu best.
The retailers report a good ileinund for
wagons und buggies and they ure giving
some orders to the wholesalers.
No uppreclalile changus have taken place
in the week on staple lines of hardware.
The market Is firm, though and If there If
any tendency to a chunge ut ull. It is In
the upward direction. Prices have run
alout the same for three or four weeks.
Wire and nails have experienced no change
at all in price for some time.
Linseed oil and turpentine have scored an
advance. Linseed oil is up i rents a gal
lon. Turpentine Is up a lutla and may go
higher.
riugar price are practically the same,
although the market of the raw material
Is considerably firmer. The demand Is much
better and there Is un outlook for a good
sugar business for some time to come.
Coffee is irregular, with thu options 10 to
15 pointH lowur than a week sgo. The ac
