In our last issue. we unaccountably omitted
to mention the sailing of the Hawaiian bark
Ia Moi, for Bremen. Such an event as the
sailing Of ship for European port, with a
full cargo Of mostly Island produce, is most
worthy of mention. Her cargo was valued at
$40, GAL Is, at the Custom House.
We have to report the following arrivals
from foreign ports, viz. April ze, Am. bark
Vernon. from Puget Sound, with lumber; april
Both. Am brig Morning Star. from Marquesas
Islands May 3, Am. bark Comet. from San
Francisco, with general merchandise. The
cargo of the Vernon has been sold to one Of
our dealers on private terms the vessel re-
turns in ballast to the mill
The Am bark Florence sailed on the Sd
inst, on a fishing voyage to the 0ehotsk Sea,
having procured all the salt previously ordered
for her. The other vessels sent here to load
salt, will not be able to obtain the quantity
needed-Our principal manufacturer falling
considerably short in his estimate of salt on
hand at the Puuloa Salt Works, and contracted
for by his agents Should the weather remain
dry for the next few weeks, salt will seen be
abundant again.
The steam-tug Pele has been hauled up for
repairs, and vessels arriving during the next
six weeks will be tracked in by hand.
We understand that the bark R. W. Wood
sailed from Bremen for this port on the 2Ist
of February last and the bark h. C. Wyllie
is reported as having arrived at Bremen March
10th.
The Am. bark Cambridge arrived at San
Francisco on the 18th ult., p days passage,
and may be expected here on or about the
10th inst
Trade, generally, continues dull. Sugars
arrive freely from the plantations, and are
shipped to San Francisco and Portland as fast
as opportunities offer.
We notice in the exports, per Ia Moi, for
Bremen, but a small quantity of wool. This
is probably owing to the fact that this article
has considerably declined in price in England,
and elsewhere, and our wOol-growers being
unwilling to sell at a prOpOrtionately reduced
price We understand that the wool shipped
in July last, per r. W. Wood, has been sold in
Europe at about Honolulu cost, thus leaving
a heavy loss to the owners. 1t is to be hoped
that this article has reached its lowest point
at present, and that better prices may be
looked for, although stocks i'll Europe are very
