The weather yesterday was damp, dark and disa-
greeable, with fog nearly all day. A great many
boats advertised to leave to-day will be unable to do
so on account of being detained by the fog. We

in port for this time of year, especially as there
are at the present time great deal of freight being
shipped We heard yesterday great many COM
plants on account of SO few boats being in port
