Business Notes.

The Journal says that most of the Auburn
shoe manufacturers have cut down the wages
of their help this summer, on account of the
cheaper goods.
The Gardiner Journal is informed on relia-
BILE authority that the Cheeseman and Dresden
ice houses in Dresden, and the Page houses in
Hallowell, with all their contents and fixtures
have been sold to new company in New York
on satisfactory terms.
The Kennebec Journal learns that there is a
prospect that the houses along the Kennebec
will be sold during the season for fair prices.
The weather has been very hot down South,
and they are melting an enormous quantity Of
ice. The Sagadahoc Ice Company of Rich
mond have quite recently refused an offer for
their ice.
The Houlton Pioneer says that w. P. Apple
yard, now connected with the Guilford Wooden
Mill, was in that town last week looking for a
wooden factory.
John Shaw of Machias, has commenced in
his yard, with a small crew, on a vessel design
ed for a schooner of 800 tons.
June Both barkentne of 500 tons was launch
ed from the yard of Ezekiel Dyer Of Millbridge,
named the G. Reusens. She is owned in New
York.
Our Bueksport correspondent writes that
Messrs. w. III. Green & Co. are building ship
about 1900 tons. They have the keel laid and
about IS frames already up. This will give en-
ployment to quite a number of our mechanics.

Business in Eastern Maine.

A correspondent who has recently travelled
In Penobscot and Aroostook, writes Of bust
ness "The lumber business at Bangor and 9TH
er towns above on the Penobscot river where
heretofore manufacturing has been carried on
extensively, is unusually dull. Some of the
mills are shut down and have been the whole
season. Many OF the owners are nanufactur.
ing very closely and filling orders at low figures
in order to use up their logs to keep the bust
ness along, and tide over the present depression
without disastrous loss. The demand for ran.
dom lots' of lumber is very limited, the price
being about $11 per M. There has been call
for deals for shipment to foreign ports at very
fair rates. There has been demand for large
ships to load with deals, not readily filled,
which has caused delays in shipping in some
cases. The centennial buildings at Philadel-
phia have created a demand for very long lum-
Der, and orders for this purpose have been filled
up to $1S per M. There is not large stock of
logs in the booms, and even with the limited
amount OF manufacturing done, there will not
be an unusually large amount left to be winter
ed over, and the prospect for a healthy condi-
ton after the present emergency shall pass, is
very good.
The European & North American Railway
is doing larger business than last year. An
increase in freight and through passengers, but
slight falling off of way passengers, is re-
ported. The summer travel to Fredericton,
st. John and other parts of the Dominion over
this road is increasing yearly.
The extensive tanneries at VIM and Med
way, owned by Poor & Co., and at Kingman,
Vanceboro and Forest City, owned by Shaw
Brothers, are running on full time and doing a
fair business.
One noticeable feature is the absence of huge
piles of shaved cedar shingles, which years ago
used to grace the squares of every village and
Gross Roads," Before the E. & N. A. r. r.
was built these shingles were drawn from Houl-
ton and all intermediate localities to Bangor
by four and six horse teams. The shaved shin
gle trade has been falling off for six or eight
years past. The cedar is cut and foated to
market like other lumber, where it can be man.
ufactured much more economically than by the
old method.
The crops of grain and potatoes are promis-
ing, although somewhat backward. The hay
crop will be fully up to the average.

A GOOD CoNDUcToR.-Tuesday afternoon,
as woman was getting into the cars at the
Portland and & Rochester depot in this city to
take the o'clock train, she dropped her
pocket. book containing 500 in money. Con-
ductor O'BrieD, Familiarity known as 'Con,'
after hearing the woman's story, was satisfied
that she dropped it after entering the car, and
that some of the passengers had picked it up.
So after looking them over, he fixed on his
man, and accused him of having it. He de-
MED all knowledge of it. "Con" was not,
however, to be put off in that way, but he
stuck to his man till he produced the pocket.

BASE BALL.-It was expected the Boston
Juniors would play the Resolutes yesterday but
they have dsbanded, and sent the Howard
Juniors of Boston to keep their engagement.
The Towards are the Leading juniors of the
state, having won, we believe, every champion
ship game they have played this veal, and their
record with the strong amateur mines of Massa
chusetts is a splendid one. The game opened
yesterday with the Resolutes at the bat. and
from fielding errors and sharp base running by
Leighton they scored one. The Towards went
out in one, two, three order, every one of them
on fouls to the catcher. In the second inning
the Resolutes scored six runs-none of them
earned, and this ended their running, not
man of them crowned the home plate in the
last seven innings. The Towards scored their
only run in the fifth inning on passed ball by
Crocker. The batting of both mines was weak
and was about even, while the fielding and
base running of the Resolutes was much SUI
perior. After the second inning the game was
very interesting. The umpiring OF Mr. Whit
ney of the Live Oaks, was impartial and Salts
factory. Below is the score:
