to home consumption while the prospect tor an

are the forebodings for The coming winter. The
same state of affairs, as regards business, seems

timore papers quote the supply of money 10
excess of the demand. but lenders are extreme

The mouths Of these creeks are excellent
harbors, but many of them are so obstruc.
ted as to be inaccessible to vessels of
ordinary capacity. Smyrna Creek is a good
illustration. 1t has fine harbor, but the
bar in the Bay, across its mouth, deprives
vessels, many times, of its advantages,
particularly at low tide. The Government
has lighthouse there, to show vessels to q
place of safety that they cannot reach.
These points of safety are absolutely neces-
sary, as much so as the lighthouses, and the
distractions to them should be removed.
1t is what the shipping interests demand.
Philadelphia has an interest in this matter,
as very many of the craft that seek the
shelter of these inlets hail from that port
or trade there almost exclusively. We
think this matter of pressing public
interest, and as such call attention thereto.
