looks to MS a trife like OVERRIDING an
already crowded business. The pas
senger trade of that section will un-
doubtedly go by railroad hereafter,
to gceat extent; and at the present
low rates of freight there does not
seem to be much profit in transport
ing produce. The Otter is already
laid up and there is no more com
Portable boat in these waters. We
hate to speak discouragingly of work
that encourages home industry, but
we also dislike to see men risk the
earnings of toilsome years in ex-
tending business the profits OF
which are already much attenuated
by competition.
Coal SHIPS. = On Sunday the
barks Anreola and Harvest Home
arrived from San Francisco, the for
mer being in ballast while the latter
had some eighteen tons of merchan-
disc. No time was lost in getting
the former vessel in dock and get
ting ready for coal, but the delay of
unloading the Harvest Home and
getting her down to the S. G. & r.
Co. s wharf, may detain her past the
end OF the month. Our morning
contemporary thought this a dull
month for coal, one day last week.
We beg leave to differ with it. for
there were no vessels in port ready
TO load till the 9th; and since that
time the shipments have been un-
usually active. The Aureola's Car
go will be over l 900 tons and that
will swell the shipments to 10000
tons for twenty-five working days.

sci which arrived here on Sunday
morning has made the best passage

days to Port Townsend and seven to
this place from San Francisco. She

for the latter port. Her freight list

rington, 900 sacks of feed and 167
