RAIL AND RIVER. Some Plain Facts Concerning the New Departure in Grain Shipments to the Seaboard, ‘The Various Mississippi River Barge Lines in Active Competition With the Rail Routes, Comparative Cost of Freightes Through Shipments o En« rope--The Rato War. Corrvapondence St. Paal Iionoer Pross. 8t Louts, July Like Ben But lor, the much villified Jay Gould has had many uncomplimentary thin said of him, but with it all,and through it all, like Ben again, he retains the right to have it graven on his tomb stone that no one ever called him a fool. It is not so very long since the Mississippi river wns coisidered not much after all, and Mississippi river transportation compared with over- land as something obsolete and out of date. But since Gould, par-excellence the railroad man of th v, found that he could utilize the river, and did do it by going into the barge busi- ness, though those same barges were seemingly in direct competition with his own freight cars, the river has as- sumed new importance, and the barge system has been brought into promi- nence. In view of the success of the recent experiment of SHIPPING GRAIN DIRECT FROM ST. PAUL 0 EUROLE via New Orleans, it is safe to prophecy that the barge system has a promising future, and will in time come to hold its own, and more than its own, against the railroads. The St. Louis & New Orleans Transportation compa- ny, (Gould’s line), which made the ex- periment, is entirely satisfied with the result, as waa learned yesterday from Mr. Henry P. Wyman, the secretary. We wished most of all, said he, to establish two things—that it was en- entirely practicable to ship grain through from St. Paul in as good con- dition as when it started, and to show that it could be done cheap. Every- body knows about the result in the first matter, and of the other I need only say that the cost was not in ex- cess of 13 cents free on board ship. We are very much encouraged to hope that in future we may make the ship- ing of grain through by barge from St. Paul to New Orleans, an estab- lished thing. The main difficulty which we will have lo meet is that loads will have to be broken at St. Lous, as the Upper Missippi barges are not fitted for the lower river traf- fic, being too small; and it is ebvious that to carry grain cheap it must be carried in large quantities, and when we get over this it will be plain sail- ing, and we will take more of the grain from the railroads than we are doing now, though a glance at the New Orleans receipts will show that it is NO SMALL BUSINESS. The secretary of Mr. Gould’s com- pany was right—it is not a small busi- ness. It 1s larger in fact than most people have any idea of. 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-seekers. The prevailing feeling among the barge managers is well illustrated by an answer given to a St. Louis news- paper man by ‘‘Commodore” Lowrie of the Gould line. No, sir, said the commodore; we don’t want to publish any statistics or to make any big blow in the newspa- pers. We've got a good thing and we want to keep 1t dark. All of which, if it proves nothing else, goes to show that the commodore had read Aisop's fable about the jack- day, who cawed too much, There are now in the city five barge comn.panies in operation, the Mississippi Valley Transportation company, the St. Louis & New Orleans Transportation com- pany, the Mound City, the Missouri River, the American Transportation company and Gray's iron line. This last, though a Pittsburg company, loads many of its bargoes here. THE MISSOURI COMPANY has not yet attained the command of trade exercised by the others, but its interests are 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 there is a good deal of rivalry are the Mis- sissippi Valley and the St. Louis & New 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 60,000 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 New Orleans wl:lw anything worth mentioning after all. “Why,” said Capt. Geo, H, Rea,the president, to your correspondent, ‘‘we did the same thing twelve years ago-- got 165.000 bushels of wheat at Red Wing and Lansing, and carried it down to New Orleans as sound as when it went into the barges; and that, too, for 12} cents, the price that it would have takeu to carry it to Chica- go by rail. Yet none of the papers ever said anything about that, and the only people who knew it outside of those directly interested were the ones who happened to come to the circus whose tents were pitched close to the place where we were loading, " Curious to know what the opposi- tion thought of GOULD'S BARGE BUSINESS, a J\wll:nn wus asked tending to draw a direct answer. My idea of Gould’s object in starting & barge line, said Capt. Rea, is that he wanted to ingratiate himself with the people in St. Louis and the val- ley, and he did it for that more than anything else. Why, he did nt fur- nish the capital himself; out of that $800,000 capital, there's but $100,000 that the rnfi-uud- don’t own. Whether ingratiating himself with or not, itis certain that the mam ob ject was profit. A general manager of oneof the Gould railway lines, who owns 8200,000 of the stock, says that the company was formed with the iden of utilizing a valuable outlet which had not before the proper amount of attention bestowed on it. According to his view of the auestion competition with railroac river transportation does not se 3 interfere with that overland as the barees do not come into active compe- tition with any line except the Wa- 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 & New Orleans company carries down an average of three tows a month, 350,000 bushels to the tow, THE COST OF SHIPMENT ranging from 5 to ¥ cents a bushel, It has on the river five boats and forty two barges. Tho company has built twenty new barges this year, and intend inereasing the number fur- ther, thorgh it has made no new con tracts latel Their boat, land, has carried down duri season a tow of 1060 tons —the la on record. THE QUESTION OF 1OT CORN by river shipment las been so exten- sively discussed of late that littie need be said of it here. The idea that it is unsafe to ship corn by ri during the hot season is stuck firmly in agreat many heads to the detri- ment of the barge lines and the ad- vantage of the railroads, but it is goen- erally admitted even by the most ar- dent adherents of the railroads, that wheat shipped in good condition by river will arrive in good condition, no matter how long it may be en 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 the time between the opening of navigation, February 19 to July 18, 1881: RIVER. DUSHELS. 3,287,323 207,564 75,753 Wheat . Total grain shipments by river. .3, As against this shipmbnt by river, compare for the same months the shipments by RAIL, Wheat, Total grain shipments by It will be seen that the excess of railway shipments over river, amoun:s for these months to only 241,970 bu- shels, a large falling off in railway shipments over the same time last year. It will be seen also that the excess of river over rail in_the single article of wheat shipment is 2,365,991 bushels. The friends of river traftic could scarcely find a more powerful argument for it than these latter fig- ures, for the St. Louis merchants,how- ever much they may love totalk about their “‘broad and beautiful Mississ- ippi,” always send their wheat by the route that carries it safest and cheap- est, whether that route be rail or river. As an illustration, the fact is very pertinent here that barges are 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 New Orleans have com- menced to send grain by rail to New York, that, too, with something VFRY LIKE A RUSH, And this, with the prospect of a short crop, is making the bargo 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 b} cents freight, 1 cent insur- ance and 4 cent transfer per bushel, making 7 cents free on d. The freight por rail to New York is 7 cents, transfer, 1} cents, making cents per bushel. The difference in ocean freights between Liverpool and and the two cities is 3 cents in favor of New York. Before the break, freight to New York by rail was from 25 to 30 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. 1If you ask any shipper, any prominent St. Louis merchant (and your correspondent has asked not a few) what influence the barge traflic is going to have on the railroads, letting him know at the samo time that he is being inter- viewed, he will tell you, making an extract from his last eloquent oration on 'change when some distinguished visitor was having the honors done him that “*the Mississippi river is THE GREA of the country, which was made to carry the commerce of the valley proudly on its broad bosom to the ocean;” that artificial outlets like rail- roads are good in their way, but the river is the natural channel furnished by the Creator, better than an, ficial one and destined to ma citiew along its banks (especially St. Louis), the greatest in America. Allof which 18 true no doubt, though the metaphors are a little mix- ed, but the same shipper will tell you, if he is certain that he will not sce his words staring him back in print, that the river cannot be made to com- pete with the railroads in the 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 along way ahead and will continue to forge ahead until the railroads can afford to make a uniform freight rate castward, approximating in cheapness that by barge south, and in this the figures bear him out. Railroad men profess to be not at all alarmed at what they call ““the fuss being 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 those of the barges, hav- ing some foundation, too, for the NATURAL ARTERY the people had anything to do with it statement juet at present if atno the Oak- | | siding elder of the Jackson distri | head master of the harrow. THE OMAHA DAILY other time. But it is difficult to find | a railroad man so EXTREMELY PURLIC SPIRITED that he hopes for the continuance of the present state of aflairs. Just how low railrond companies can reduce freights and still make money is one of their carefully guarded secrets which no one has ever found out, but it is assorted as a positive fact that they could well afford to keep the prosent ratesof freight if they wished to do so in entering into an active competition with the river. This they have never done; the barges compete | and compete successfully with therail- roads, while the competition is not on the side of the railroads between rail rond and_river, but between them | selves. That is a true statement of facts, the barge men themselves admit, but for all that they are mak ing money “We could have carried a greal deal more wheat than we have done during the season if we had only had groater facilities,” said an officer ot Gould's company. A large percentage of the grain which went east from this mar- ket 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 success of the experiment made by Commodore Lowry, and there has been talk of the formation of a barge line from St. Paul, bus 1t has never taken definate shape. While the Gould people think it entirely foasi- ble, the opposition barge men say that it will never do on accouncof that same objection of having to reload St. Paul barges at this point. ““What St. Paul Hl‘l‘hi most,” said one of them, *‘is a new line of steamers and a line of barges to work with them, but then the barges would have to be light draft for the upper rivor, and they would have to be changed at St. Louis.” The Young and Old.
