Arrivals in The Harbor of Asabula, during
the month OF September, 20, and cleared 90.
Our harbor presented rather busy scene
the latter part or last week. Five large vessels
were lying al the wharves of the A. Y. & p,
eth, + loading or unloading; II part of them
from Queen Vics dominion, and paying duties
upon their cargoes. Near 81 900 of duties IN
gold were thus paid into the national treasury.
In the activity consequent upon the ap-
preaching close of navigation, Chicago re-
ports the ARRIVAL there for shipment of sixty
thousand bushels of wheat per day. This is a
large increase oyer 1872 which was the best
year Chicago had ever seen, and may be taken
as evidence that the lake business will DC in-
creased in the same proportion.
The ore business is alike active especially
with those vessels chartered for the season,
with certain number of trips to make TO
make their contracts good.
