The increase in the value of breadstus shipped from
this country from 1888 to 1899 and ls40 was caused by
the short harvess in Great Britain in two last nam

ports were in consequence larger than they had
been before rom 1910 to 1886 the exports were to
more moderate extent but In lsl6 the shipments again

SW-You soy that the late passage OF the Isaac
Wright from this port to Liverpool, Is "uuprecedeut-
ed''; and 1t may be- tor aught know far passages
between this port and that concerned. But can
give you Boston case fully equal 10 10 IL nearly
Twenty-Five years ago, that the ship New England OF
Boston lett Liverpool one Saturday afternoon, and
rived In Boston harbor within two cables length Of the
end OF Long wharf the morning Of the second Satur
day thereafter. She commanded by Captain Fox
who would always carry much sail the sticks would
bear and who was we'll known amongst sailors as q

When the merchant who owned the New England yas
tad that che had arrived, he supposed it was a. hoax
he however went down the wharf to satisfy himself.
and there, sure enough he the ship and Captaip
Fox her deck, preparing to go ashore SEEKING a
trumpet from the hand Of q pilot who etood near bo
cried out. Captain Fox is that you!U To which
Captain Fox replied, YES sir-r !" " When did Won
leave Liverpool 20 ssid the owner. "A week ago isst
Saturday ~ cried Captain Fox at the top Of his
aud there he dialogue ended to the entire
OF the merchant, and of old Fox, too, dare say.
Now, think that this passage which forms an i'm
portrait item in the unwrttsn history of
marine equal If not superior, to that of the lsaac
Wright, especially when we consider that the New
England from Liverpool to this country, and th
Isaac Wright went out to Liverpool the passage out
