Rio and Santos both sent firm offerings higher, Rio making sales today at the high price for this season.

The early trading was characterised by some liquidation of March, but later iv the day this option be came inaottre and the manipulation which was indulged In yesterday seamed less in, evidence. "There Is an optimistic feeling; regarding the Brazil insurrection, recent advices indicating the unsettled condition there has passed over without complications. The foreign markets are firm, especially Havre. Shorts In March coffee are growing more numerous than ever. The recent buying of March by very strong interests and the fact th«t stooks of spot coffee are in compara tively few hands discouraged selling. Bullish developments are looked for.

SHERMAN ARRIVES FROM PHILIPPINES Army Transport Brings Big Crowd of Military Passen* gers From Far East HE'army transport Sherman, Captain Lynam, a rrived ear^y yesterday morningr from Ma nila with 957 mili tary and civilian passengers and a cargo of army bag gage. The troop ship ' encountered heavy weather al most all the way from Nagasaki to Honolulu, but was favored with smooth seas' and clear skies on the run from the island port. : - Among the pas sengers from Honolulu was Chief Jus tice A. S. Hartwell of the Hawaiian supreme court, who. with his daughter, has come to the mainland to spend the Christmas holidays. As a mark of courtesy to the Judge, the Hawaiian band serenaded the transport for an hour or so before the troopship left the wharf at Honolulu. \u0084 . ' The ranking military officer on board was Lieutenant Colonel Edward H. Plummer. The passengers Included 743 enlisted men of the army, 8 enlist ed men of the navy and marine corps, 24 sick, 36 military prisoners and 19 discharged soldiers. The new regulation of the customs service, requiring returning residents of the United States to enter on their customs declarations every article pur chased while abroad, kept the cabin passengers busy with their fountain pens fnr the last few days of the voy age. Most of them have been away more than two years, one passenger had been away 12 years, and they all did their best to comply with' the law. The declarations turned in by the Sherman's passengers represented much mental effort and a vast expenditure of ink, most of which might have been saved if they had known in time that those absent more than two years could "have declared themselves non residents, and as such would have been called upon to declare and pay duty only on unused articles not Intended for personal use. Yale and Harvard Xear End of Voyage The fast turbine steamers Harvard and Yale, with which the Pacific navi gation company will inaugurate an ex press passenger service between here and Los Angeles, were 164 miles north of Manzanillo at 8 o'clock Monday night, according to a wireless message that was received here yesterday via New York. The steamers will be ready for active service when they arrive, and the first sailing of the new line from this port will be next Wednes day. Thereafter there will be a steamer every Monday. Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.- The company has opened a ticket office at 680 Market street, and a larsre number of passengers have al ready been booked for the first trip. The Yale and Harvai-d, the fastest and most luxuriously appointed pas senger steamers in the world, will in troduce a type of ocean travel that is new on this. coast. A flat rate will be charged for the passage. There are accommodations for SOO passengers and statorooms to suit the purse and taste of travelers of all degrees. All meals will be a la carte, and the catering will be on a scale which will give the passengers a variety such as can be round only in the best of shore hotels. The steamers are very fast, and will make the run to and from Los An-» preles in railroad time. On account of the largeness of the state rooms and the fact that there is no dust on the ocean highway, it is expected that the and the Harvard will cut deeply "into the first class business now car ried on by trains. For the convenience of passengers desirous of going north or of passengers in the north who wish to make the southern run on the Yale or the Harvard, the Pacific navi gation company h«is arranged for an Interchange of through business with the Alaska Pacific steamship company. Orange* nnd Lemon* by Water Route Since the California Atlantic steam ship company knocked down the fence with which the Pacific Mail company had surrounded the field of water transportation to the Atlantic side via Panama, the richness of those fallow pastures has been revealing itself in a way that has surprised even the transportation world. When R. P. Schwerin told congress of the money the Pacific Mail company was losing on the Panama run, many accepted his figures as evidence that a line of steam ers on that run could not pay. When Bates & Chesebrough put on an in dependent line of steamers, Schwerin spoiled something of his self-asserted claim to patriotic philanthropy by in augurating a direct service of his own which 'is still In operation and reaping the bpnefit of the business stirred into existence by the enterprise of Bates & Chesebrough. The steamer Olson and Mahony of the Bates & Chesebrough line will leave here today for the isthmus via San Pedro. The steamer will leave the lat ter port loaded to its full capacity. Its cargo from San Pedro will Include a carload of oranges and a carload of lemons, commodities hitherto dependent for their transportation east on a rail road combination ' that exacted all the traffic would bear in the way of freight charges. This big shipment of fruit will leave San Pedro December 16 and will be in New York by January 9, or In 23 days after shipment. if this shipment is delivered in good shape — there is no reason to doubt it — the bulk of the orange and lemon crop will hereafter be sent to New York and the middle west by the all water route. Investigation of Ferry Captains Local Inspectors of Hulls and Boil ers O. F. Bolles and J. K. Bulger con cluded yesterday the hearing of the charges- of giving cross signals, pre ferred against Captain John Lewis of the ferry boat Claremont by . Herman Hey wood, a passenger on the ferry boat Tamalpais on November 19, as well as the charge of" failing to report the circumstances, brought against Captain Charles Bagge £>f the Tamalpais by Su pervising Inspector John Bermingham At the hearing Tuesday the two cap tains gave contradictory testimony, Captain Bagge testifying that he gave two whistles, which were answered with one by. the Claremont. which then crossed the Tamalpais' bow, and Cap tain Lewis asserting that only one whistle was heard from* the Tamalpais. Gus Oberg, second officer of the Claremont, yesterday corroborated the testimony of Captain Bagge. testifying that the Claremont gave only one whis tle. Charles Rosengrand, night" watch man on the Tamalpais, and Leroy Se linsky. deckhand on the Tamalpais corroborated the testimony of Captain Bagge. • Herman Heywood; the com plainant, reiterated his statement that the Claremont crossed the. bows of the Tamalpais from starboard to port after the latter had blown one whistle The case was taken under advise ment. The inspectors can take no action in the matter of the alleged overcrowd ing of the Key Route ferry boats dur ing the rush hours. .While the num ber of passengers that may- be carried by other steamers may be limited by law. the, number that may bo carried by ferry boats is- limited only by the requirements of "safe navigation " ; < "So long aa a- ferry boat' )s safely navigated from shore to shore,", said Inspector' Bulger yesterday, ."the.fed eral authorities can place no. restriction upon the number of passengers it' car ries. It is not a matter* of safety, for the ferries carry millions of passengers yearly without theloss of a single life It is a'matter of. comfort, and the rem edy. is;to , put on larger boats."/ Chlyo AVIH HaveiMany jPanserigers The Japanese liner ChiybMaru Cap tain Filmer, which will ; sail .Tuesday for the far .eastr will -carry i a.
