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be withdrawn and then enter the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.
