SYRUP BARRELs-The manufacture of this
class of articles for the Boston and New York
markets has grown into quite an extensive
business in this city. Indeed it is already of
sufficient Importance to have caused the New
York barrel manufacturers to effect partial
strike during the early summer. The reason of
which was their fear of competition owing to
the lower price at which they can be made in
this city, The following are the principal
manufacturers in this city: Harmon & Will
son, Commercial street, employ eight hands
and make 125 barrels weekly: T. II. Houghton.
Richardson s wharf, employs five hands and
turns out 100 barrels weekly; G. E. Jordan,
Cross street, employs ten hands and turn off
200 barrels weekly; Brooks & Lombard. Plumb
street. employ SIX hands and turn out 125 bar
rels weekly; G. f. Paine, Custom House wharf,
employs four hands and turns out rs barrels
weekly; George Burnham, Burnham's wharf,
employs eight hands and makes 150 barrels
weekly; I. Scammell Franklin wharf, en-
ploys four men and turns out so barrels weekly.
The above is an average for the year. The
stayes of which the barrels are composed are
poplar and spruce, and it takes twenty two
slaves to make one barrel. One man will make
five barrels day. The slaves are delivered in
this city rough shaved at SIG per thousand
The head of the barrel is of pine and is brought
from Saccarrappa and Buxton, and cost four
teen cents pair The hoops are of ash and
cost from SIG to 500 thousand, delivered in
the shops. 1t takes fourteen for each barrel
The barrels are sold at from 81. 40 to 81. 60 each
delivered at the steamers The business is now
at its highest point for the season. The sales
of the article amount annually to about $780,

To the Editor of the Press:
AS some of the readers of the Press have Il
think enormously supposed your correspondent
Portland referred in part to my bonds. will
you allow me to say that do not deal in Gun
known bonds,'' and that l expect people to re-
quire reliable information and therefore am
glad to furnish it.
If the public is being wronged by these bonds
the wrong ough. to be pointed out; but if they
are not wronged by unsafe bonds, but are bene-
fitted By the better rate of interest, no public
spirited person should attempt to prevent the
benefit to those who can barely "scrape togeth-
er a few hundred dollars to invest. My Gus
toners are generally well informed about secur-
ties, but it you propose to present both sides of
the subject in your columns, | shall be very
happy to contribute some information that
think will be acceptable to the public.
Yours very respectfully,
