RAIL AND RIVER , Sdui'e Plain Facts Goncorning the New Departure in Grain Shipments to the ' " : " Seaboard , The Various Mississippi Rivoi Barge Lines in Aotivo Competition With the Bail Routes. Compnrntlva Cost of Froiglit Through Shipment * o En- rope -Tho Ilato War- . I'aul 1'bnccr Prcn. Sr Louis , July 2" . LikoUon Duller lor , the much villillcd Jay GoultHias had many uncouiplitnuiitnry tilings saiil of him , but with it nllaiul through it nil , like Uou ngain , ho rotnins the right to havu it gr.ivcii on his ( onib- stone that no ouo ever called him n fool. It is not ao very long B'UICO iho Missiisipp ! river wixs considered-not much after nllj and Mississippi river transportation compared with over land n-s something obsolete and out of datoi Hut since Gould , par-oxcolloiico the railroad man of the countryfound that ho could utilize the river , and did do it by going into the barge busi ness , Uu > U''h thoao same barges were se ° minuly in direct competition with his own freight cars , the river haa'.ia- sinned new importance , and tlio barge system has been "brought into"promi nence. In view of the success of the recent experiment of Hiurrixa OUAIN mncor VRO.M ST. r.vui. TO KUitori : via New Orleans , it is safe to prophecy that the barge system haa u promiaiiiL' future , and will in time come to hold its own , and more than its own , Against the railroads. The St. Louis & Now Orleans Transportation compa ny , ( Gould's line ) , winch made the ex periment , is entirely satisfied with the result , as waa learned yesterday from Mr. Henry P. Wyinuu , the secretary. Wo nishcd moat of all , said ho , to < establish two things that it was en- entirely practicable to ship grain through from St. Paul in as good con dition as whon-it started , and to show that it could bo done cheap. Every body knows about the result in the first matter , and of the other I need only say that the cost was mot in ex cess of 13 cents free on board ship. We are very much encouraged to hope that in f uturo wo may make 1 the ship ping of grain through by barge from St. Paul to Now Orleans , an estab lished thing. The main difficulty which wo will have to meet is that loads will hare to bo broken at St. Louts , as the Upper Missippi barges are not fitted for the lower river traf fic , being too small ; and it is obvious that to carry grain cheap it must bo carried m largo quantities , and when wo got over this it will bo > plain sail ing , and wo will take more of the ( grain from the railroads than wo are doing now , though a glance at the Now Orleans receipts will show that it is NO SMALL BUSINESS. The secretory of Mr. Gould's com pany was right it is not a small busi ness. It is larger in fact than most people have any idea ot. What it is you would never learn from the barge companies themselves , not even if you were the most skillful and smooth tongued of all the statistic-scokors. The prevailing feeling among the barge managers is well illustrated by an answer given to a St. Louis news paper man by "Commodoro" Lowrib of the Gould line. No , sir , said the commodore ; wo don't want to publish any statistics or to make any big blow in the newspa pers. We've got a good thing and wo want to l < eop it dark. All of which , if it proves'nothing else , goes to show that the commodore had road sop's fable about the jack- day , who cawed too much. TJioro are now in the city five barge companies in operation , the Mississippi Valley 'Transportation company , the St. Louis & Now Orleans Transportation com pany , the Mound City , the Missouri Iliver , the American Transportation company and Gray's iron lino. This last , though a Pittsburg company , loads many of its barges hero. THE MISSOURI COMPANY has not yet attained the command of trade exercised by the others , but its interests arn being pushed energetical ly. The Diamond Jo line of steamers is also taking a hand in the barge busi ness , towing down loads of grain from the upper Mississippi. The two prin cipal companies between which thcro is a good deal of rivalry are the Mis sissippi Yalloy and the St. Louis & Now Orleans , the former the oldest barge company in the city , having been in existence for'fifteen years and over. They have sixty or seventy barges , carrying from 50,000 to 00,000 apiece. There is a decided disposition on the company's part to regard Gould as an impudent interloper , and they do not think that to carry grain direct from St. Paul to Now Orleans was anything worth mentioning after all. "Why , " said Capt. Geo. II. Rea.tho president , to your correspondent , "wo did the same thing twelve years ago got 105.000 bushels of wheat at lied Wing and Lansing , and carried it down to Now Orleans as sound as when it wont into the barges ; and that , too , for 12i cents , the price that it would have taken to carry it to Chica go by rail. Yet none of the papers over said anything about that , and the only people who know it outside of those directly interested were the ones who happened to corno to the circus wiioso tents were pitched close to the place where wo wore loading. " Curious to know what the opposi tion thought of OOUtD'S IUHOE BUSINESS , a question was asked tending to draw a direct answer. My idea of Gould's object in starting a barge line , said Capt. Kea , is that ho wanted to ingratiate himself with the poopla in St. Louis and tlio valley - ley , and ho did it for that more than anything else. Why , ho did nt fur nish the capital himself ; out of that $800,000 capital , there's but $100,000 that the railroads don't own. Whether ingratiating himself with iho people had anything to do with it * * * or not , it is certain that the mam ob ject was profit. A general manager of ono of the Gould railway lines , who owns § 200,000 of the stock , says that the company was formed with the idea of utilizing n valuable outlet which had not Before the proper amount of attention bestowed on it. According to his A icw of the uuestion of competition with railroads , the river transportation docs not seriously Interfere with that overland as the baivcs dp not coma into active compe tition with any line except the Wabash - bash , which manages to get the same price for bringing grain to St. Louis for river shipment as they did to Toledo. According to facts furnished by its secretary the St. Louis * Now Orleans company carries down an average of three tows a month , 350,000 bushels to the tow , TIIK COST OV SIIIt'Mr.XT ranging from 5 to 7 cents a bushel. It has on the river live boats and foity two barges. The company lias built twenty now barges this year , and intend inoieasing the number fur ther , thorgh it has made no now con tracts lately. Their boat , the O.ik- laiul , has cariied down during the sc.iiion n tow of 1000 tons the largest on record. Tin : QUESTION or HOT by river shipment lias boon so exten sively discussed of Into tlmi littlu need bo said of it hero. The idt'a that it is nnsifo : to ship corn by river during thu hot season is stuck firmly in a great ninny heads to the detri ment of the b.xrgo Hues nnd the ad vantage of the railroads , but it is gon- or.illy admitted ovcm by the most ar dent adherents of the railroads , that wheat shipped in good condition by river will arrive in good condition , no nutter how long it may bo on route Chicago papers to the contrary not withstanding. Nothing will show so conclusively what the barge lines are doing as a comparison of shipments made from St. Louis by river and rail during the present season It is given below as it was obtained from the records kept by the St. Louis Mer chant's exchange , for tlio time between the opnning of navigation , February 19 to July 18 , 1881 : IlIVEIt. DUSttKLS. Wheat 3,287,323 Corn 297r ( > 0 Oats 75,71)3 llye 2-V123 Total grain shipments by river. . 3,033,013 As against this shipment by river , compart : for the same months the shipments by KAIL. Wheat 871,332 Corn 2,72'Jri70 Uats 171,114 Ilyo 01,498 Barley 44'Jl'J Total grain shipments by rail. . 3,881,033 It will on seen that the excess of railway shipments over river , amounls for these months to only 241,970 bu shels , a largo falling off in railway shipments over the same time last year. It will bo seen also that tlio excess of river over rail in the single article o wheat shipment is 2,303,991 bushels. The friends of river trallic could scarcely find a more powerful argument for it than these latter fig ures , for the St. Louis merchantshow- , over much they may love to talk about their "broad and beautiful Mississ ippi , " always send their wheat by the route that carries it n'nfc&t and cheap est , whether that route bo rail or river. As an illustration , the fact is very pertinent hero that barges nro having a dull time of it now , that the railroads are engaged in cutting each others throats by breaking down rates. Shippers who before had patronized the river and Now Orleans have com menced to send grain by rail to Now York , that , too , with something VKKV LIKK A RUSH. And this , with the prospect of a short crop , is making the barge lines feel rather blue for the time being , though they know the rates war cannot last , and that when rates are once more settled their freights will all come back to them. The cost of shipping by river to Now Orleans at this writ ing is f > A cents freight , 1 cent insur ance and i cent transfer per bushel , making 7 cents free on board. The freight per rail to Now York is 7A cents , transfer , 1\ cents , making fl cents per bushel. The difference in ocean freights between Liverpool and and the two cities is . ' ! cents in favor of Now York. Before the break , freight to Mew York by rail was from 25 to J0 ! cents , while by river it was only from 8 to 11 cents , which ac counts for the immense difference be tween shipments of wheat by rail and river during the season. If you ask any shipper , any prominent St. Louis merchant ( and your correspondent has asked not a few ) irhat influence the barge traffic is going to have on tlio railroads , letting him know at the same time that ho is being inter viewed , ho will tell you , making an extract from his last eloquent oration on 'change when some distinguished visitor WHS having the honors done him that "tho Mississippi river is THE OKKAT NATURAL AUTIIHV of the country , which was made to carry the commerce of the valley proudly on its broad bosom to the ocoaiij that artificial outlets like rail roads are good in their way , but the river is the natural channel furnished by the Creator , better than any arti ficial ono and destined to make the cities along its banks ( especially St. Louis ) , the t'rcatost in America. All of which is true no doubt , though the metaphors are a little mix ed , but the same shipper will tellyou , if he is certain that ho will not sco his words staring him back in print , that the river cannot bo made to compote pete with the railroads in tlio matter of corn shipments , especially in hot weather. In wheat and other grain which do not require such quick trans portation , the river is already a long way ahead and will continue to forgo ahead until the railroads can afford to make a uniform freight rate eastwaid , approximating in cheapness that by barge south , and in this the figures bear him out. Ilailroad men profess to bo not at all alarmed at what they call "the fuss boinc made about the river. " They say that they can hold their own against the barge lines tak ing grain shipments through and through , without any trouble ; and they profess , too , that their freights approximate thosb of the barges , hav ing some foundation , too , for the statement juet at present if at uo other timo. But it is diflicuU to thu a railroad man so KXTHKMEtY Tl nUr SI'ItUTF.I * that ho hopes for the continuance o tlio present state of ntlairs. Jiul how low railroad companies can reduce freights nnd still make money is ono of their carefully guarded secret ! which no ono has over found out , bni it is assorted as n positive fact thai they could well afford to keep the present ratcsof freight if they wished to do so in entering into an actiro competition with the liver. This they have never done ; the barges compete and compete successfully with the rail roods , while the competition is not on the side of the railroads between rail road and river , but between them selves. That is n trno statement ol facts , the barge men themselves admit , but for all that they are mak ing money " \Vo could have carried a groal dca more wheat than wo have done during the season if wo had only had groatei facilities , " said an olllcer ot Gould's company. A largo percentage of the grain which wont east from this mal ic ot by rail only did so because there were not barges to carry it south. The question of shipments through from St. Paul has been much talked of since the BUCCOSS of the oxporimenl made by Commodore Lowry , and there lias been talk of the formation of a Imgo line from St. Paul , bni it hns never taken dci'mnto slmpo. While the Gould people think it entirely feasi ble , the opposition barge men say that it will never do on account of that same objection of having to reload St. Paul barges at this point. "What St. Paul needs most , " said vine of them , "is a now line of stcamora and a line of barges to work with them , but then the barges would have to bo light draft for the upper river , nnd they would have to bo changed at St. Louis.
