THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1897.
TIE violent storms of the past week have left us little to re
port on the subject of trade; the vessels in port have been de-
barred from discharging or receiving freight except nc rare III
tervals, between the showers; and business OF III klhus appears
to have been almost entirely interrupted.
Our quotations it will be noticed are mostly from auction saies'
as we have heard of but few private transactions. we nave III
arrivals of merchant vessels to report and no departures
The wreck of the N. G. bark j. C. Fremont as it now hes on
Christmas Island was sold at auction for account OF under~rlters
on Monday for $40. The cargo of lumber originally consls'm
of 5o,OOO feet dressed, and 100000 feet rough, was also put up
and sold for S2O5-the purchasers of both wreck ana cargo
taking the risk of finding all, any, or no part thereof on the
island. We learn that the sch John Dunlap, under the COM
mand of Capt. Patty, and the sch Dolphin, will be sent mmedl-
ately to the wreck with a strong force of natives, together with
drays, horses and every necessary for removing such portions as
may be found.
The Aspasia is nearly ready for sea and will sail on satur-
day for New York with a full freight of oil, bone, skins, hides
&C.. sc.
FREIGHTs-The Fanny Major is up for San Francisco, but
there appears to be very little freight offering. The sch San
DIEGO is for freight or charter, and will probably proceedto San
Francisco.
