PRESENT ACCUMULATION OF SHIPPING IN THE U,R-
BoR-It all the vessels now in the harbor with car
goes on board, provided with ample wharf
room for discharging, there not enough carts
or drays IN the city to the goods to stores
ana warehouses as fast as they would be landed on
the wharf The present condition of affairs in re-
gard to our Atlantic shipping is altogether excep-
tlonal. The supplies Of goods reacbinp rs thus far
TINS year from home tantic ports have been enOr-
nous, and altogether disproportionate to the capa-
city OF the market and the wants of consumers
froot OF this may etound in the fact that the prices
ruling for staple goods are with scarcely an excen
ton, below the cost of Importation
We cannot more forcibIy illustrate how much the
shipping movement this year has exceeded the
wants wan OF the country than by annexing statement
OF the amount OF registered tonnage entering the
port during the first quarter COMPARED with tba
same period in 1857 and 1858:
From Eastern From
Atlantic Ports. Foreign ports Total
lS51........... ......366l7 4lG92 ~ 400
io5S. o5S.............,....1S,234 1,76G so 900
From the above it will be perceived that the ex-
cess this year is upwards of so per cent, as com
pared with 1858, and nearly 33M per cent as com
pared with 1851 We have not the data for the first
quarter of 1856, but for the first half of that
year the tonnage from domestic Atlantic ports
was only 65,lsl tons, and from foreign ports
20, lI3 tons which would give a quarterly move.
ment OF q, Ia tons-or 3O,535 tons less than the
first quarter of 1853.
1t may be claimed that the wants of the country
are increasing, and therefore legitimate employ
ment can be given to more shipping. The first re-
mark is correct, but the last is not The consump-
on otcertain descriptions of goods are increasing
but it is ofhose kinds which occupy the least space
as compared with their value, and which, as vet
and Tor many years hence, cannot manufacture
or produce ourselves. On the other hand of bulky
goods, on which the cost of transportation tells
heavily to the consumer, are importing less and
less each year, owing to increased home production
The importing business from New York and Boston,
from 1858 to 1858, done at loss to the parties
engaged in it, and nearly every one in the trade had
become so discouraged that shipments during the
latter year fell below the wants of the country
Hence the high prices which ruled during part of
1858.
We assume, without fear of contradiction from
an intelligent source, that not to exceed ten cargoes
per month from Eastern ports can be taken care of
at prices remunerative to those engaged in the bu-
siness That that number of vessels can be readily
provided with wharf facilities for discharging, ad-
mits OF no question. The present accumulation of
vessels is unprecedented for several years. Since
the 18th of March, there have arrived from home
Atlantic and foreign ports, tortyfre square-rigged
vessels, exclusive Of large number of coasters and
several small craft from the coast of Mexico and
the Society Islands,
