WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21,1895. The Port Royal Dock. The Greatest Dry Dock in America Tested and Found Satisfactory. Beaufort, Aug. 15 ?The first offi cial test of the big government dry dock on Paris Island, two miles be low Port Royal, was ma?e to-day. The United States monitor, Amphi trite was successfully docked in the presence of the official board con sisting of Captain \V. 0 Wise, of the A m phi tri te ; Engineer P. 0. Asser son and Naval Constructor J. F. Hanscom. There were several thou sand spectators present. The Am phitrite, under her own steam, assist ed by a tug and tow4opes, went into the dock at 3 p. m. Captain C. IL Rockwell, commandant of the naval station, and the members of the board said that they could of course make no authoritative statement regarding the tests at this time, but none of them hesitated to express the satis faction which they felt over the en tire success attending upon the work done to-day. The Port Royal dry dock has at tracted much attention because of the fact that it is the largest government dock in America. The depth of the hold of the dock from the surface to the sub-grade of the floor is thirty eight feet, its width at sub-grade is sixty feet, at the sui face 126 feet, its length is 550 feet. Captain Rockwell says that any vessel in the new na*y might readily be docked a d repaired in it, and it is expected that the bat tle ship Indiana will be docked here for repairs in a few weeks. The ca pacity of the pumps with which the water is drawn from the docks is 70,000 gallons per minute and under favorable conditions the dock could be drained by them in fifteen minutes, but the pumping to day continued for three hours, as it was considered best to make the first trial as deliberately as possible. After the bottom of the Amphitrite has been cleaned she will be withdrawn and then enter the dock again for a test. This will be made to-morrow, the vessel remain ing on the blocks all of Saturday. The Amphitrite will sail northward Monday. Bradstreet's Report. New York, Aug. 16.?Bradstreet's to-morrow, Aug IT, will say : Mid summer quiet is much more conspic uous now than a week ago, though leee so in industrial than in commer cial lines As a rule, leading manu facturing industries are exceptionally busy for the season and it is worth adding that the increase in output of, demand and prices of iron and steel still continue. Gross and net rail road earnings for the first half of the present year, show very satisfactory aggregate gains over last year, a pe riod of great coal and railroad strikes and of financial depression and de rangement. The best showing in net earnings are made by the central, western, eastern and southwestern roads, while the only decreases noted are in the granger and southern roads. Many in the trade were surprised by the very unfavorable cotton crop reports by the government, and the price of cotton speedily advanced. Steel billets have also been marftrd up, as well as some varieties of print cloths. Quotations on flour, oats, pork, sugar, copper and wool have remained firm, but unchanged, while declines are recorded in Indian corn on very favorable crop reports by lard and wheat, notwithstanding the statistical strength o? the cereal in every direction except exports. There are 195 business failures re ported throughout the United States this week, compared with 209 last week; 234 in the ?ke week of Au gust, 1S94; 409 in the corresponding week during the panic of 1893, and 18T in ,1892. Throughout the South ern States general trade remains quiet, and in some instances quieter than a week ago Mercantile condi tions have not begun to improve, and at some points jobbers report a small falling oS" in the volume of sales, though in several instances this is due to rainy weather. On the other hand rain is needed in South Caro lina, while in Texas it is estimated that even with very favorable condi tions from this time on, the Texas crop wili not exceed 2,250.000 bales Word is received that Texas interior merchants have been cancelling bag ging and tie orders.
