CARELEssLY CoMPiLED ErEAMBoAr MASIFEsrs.
Finding fsut h ct best dissgfeesble business,
but duty will sometimes compel US to do il. In
the present instance we have to complain of the
Inaccurate and carelessly arranged manifests Of
several Of our river steamboats,. In particular the
clerks have got into the bad habit of late of
reporting different articles as pkgs.;- and in
designating the proper number, kind of package,
and nsine Of article. Did steamboat captains and
clerks know the Inconvenience and trouble in.
ficted by such csrelessness on parties who keep
records, weaeel sure they would be more careful |
We trust this matter viii be attended TO by those
whose duty q Is to give correct statements TO their
patrons as well ss 10 the public.
LUMBER AND BUILDING MATERIAL-The coun. |
try demand has been very good and the supply |
is light. Prices very firm. The following are
