The schr Exchange, loaded with lime

remains in the same position The wreck
ing Steamer Magnet was unable to raise
her.

graph that the schr. Sascoe, that cleared
from that port with the first cargo of
cOaI ever shipped from that port. is en-
gagged for the seasons coal trade between
FairpOrt and Buffalo, and that several
other vessels are soon to be added to the
line.
The latest reports from the wreckers

in port this week. The grain is reported

CHICAGO.
Business at the lumber-docks was quite
lively Monday About FIVE cargoes of
lumber were sold during the day, and
about twenty cargoes renamed at the
market last evening.
The steam-barge Ballentine came out
of dry dock yesterday morning, and i'm
mediately went to the elevator TO take on
a cargo of grain. She left for Buffalo in
the evening.
Capt. John PrindiYille, the owner of
the schr PamlicO, now on her way home
from Europe. says he does not feel un-
easy yet, because the vessel is now out
month without being heard from. He
does not expect TO hear from her until
the 18Th, as she has taken q southern
course, and was probably detained by
high head winds which usually pneyaIl
at this season of the year.
The season thus far has been unusual
ly free from disasters. The Traders In
surance Company of this city has thus
far suffered but one loss, and that only
amounting to $50. If matters keep on
in this way, the insurance companies will
make money in spite of the prevailing
low rates.
