VIZ aunasa briefly last weak 70 the importation Of ship stores
from New Bedford, but the importance Of . right understanding
ofthe suh5ect on he part Of ship-owues leads us to add q few
uords- Il s rou several years since ship-owners In New Bed
ford and New LONDON commenced the plan Of sending out stores
sbe their ships in The North Pacific whalehshery, such - bee,
Perk, sovines, -four, bread, Stops, whaling gear, etc, and the
system has, no doubt worked to their advantage, - IL is still
continued and b yearly on the inerease- ms an We have .
the Harriet & Jessie. Lfexonder. and Gladiator loaded almost
entirely with vhalemens stores, while the Mossfain Waues
cargo contained . large proportion Of such goods While u Is
IN ven enough TO send out such articles as are dfhcuit TO be Oh
tainsd here, & ID certainly . matter Of surprise that shiP-owners
shouh p-rsts< In sending out to this port barge supplies OF such
Articles a nour, sugar and molasses, when they ought to
knov, IL hey do not, that better and cheaper can be p'enfifuhy
obtained here Our salt beef soo, isiand-cured, has been pro-
nouncsd equal TO the best Eastern by shipmasters who have
nkeu e On Their cruises. These supplies which We have named
can always be procured here in any quantity, and indeed are
articles Of constant export We have il from Captains them
selves, Who are posted up in regard 70 the cost o. their supplies,
that these articles can be had here ut from ten to twenty per
ons cAesp9 than he same can be imported for excepting, per
haps, four, which Is held at about the same price IL can be landed
Tor, say s11 per barrel The reputation Of our Island supplies
il yearly improving With whaiemen- and we can confidently
assert that no better -four, sugar, moiasses or beef Is produced
anywhere In The porid than here
A regaras eo6ee, We have nothing to say: It has almost ceased
- b dcpenssd on by planters, as an article OF domestic produc-
Hoa, and our regve thak such . the case IL the keener, from the
fast that our eoGee stands second 10 none in the world a. regards
quality, and n de insects would only permit the production Of it
to become extensive, is would in a few years, be regarded as the
favorite in the various consuming markets Of the Pacific The
present high prices Of coffee here may, perhaps, justify shipment
out from home az
The southeriy winds and Gains which have prevailed for a
week or more, have kept back a large number OF whaiers and
merchantmen which are fully due, but probably unable 70 make
the port. The clipper ship Harhauk arrived on the 4th from
San Francisco, and was Immediately chartered to load oil for
New Bedford. The U.s. surveying schooner Fenimore Cooper
last nom Francisco, and the ship Gladiator, from New Bedford,
with . cargo Of lumber and vhaiemen's stores. have also arrived
During the week, we have had but nine whaleships arrived
at this port, and about the same number at windward ports,
showfuw N a srhf variation from the average given last week
Ibs hus mir uind WIN probably bring in a large number now
fully due
In general business there is not 30 much doing as the season
OF he year would justify US in expecting. Money Is becoming
more plenty, but there is no disposition to buy, and auctions are
simply scenes Of stAughter.
The workings Of exchange appear to have disappointed
many this year, and we think that n considerable amount held
for investment at higher rates than have been obtained wiz now,
With difficulty, find investment at the current quotations.,
The extreme rate Of whalsrs' exchange this season, at this port
has been 5 per cent The Msrrimac's bills were taken al "a,
or q little over, and possibly there may have been some little
outside transactions at the latter rate. At the windward ports,
the rate has been about u.
