CAsco STREET ENTERTANMENT.-Th con-
cert given in the First Free Baptist church last
evening was successful, both in the large at
tendance and in the unusually fine execution
of the varied programme. Toe Instrumental
pieces, Including fate solo by Mr.. Acterian
aud a violin solo by Mr. Jones and harmonica
solos by Mr.. Farrell, were artistically rendered
aud generously applauded. The vocal parts,
including solos by Mr.. Bowdoin and Miss
Snowman, were of high order and did much
credit to the performers. The readings, both
humorous and pathetic, by Miss Valentine,
evinced much talent and culture, and were
evidently appreciated. On the whole the per-
formers may be congratulated on the satisfac.
tory execution of the parts assigned them, and
the church on the decided success of its under
taking.

SHIPMENT OF COTTON VIA PORTLAND. = The
steamer Ontario is COW loading cotton at this
port for Europe. There are something over 1000
bales here awaiting shipment and more will
come If steamers are provided for its convey
ance This cotton comes from st. Louis and
is shipped via Portland because it is nearer
and cheaper way to get to the European mar
ket 1t has formerly been shipped to New
Orleans and there loaded to the European
steamers, but it has been discovered that it is a
very long route and shippers say it. can be
shipped from New Orleans and then re-shippsd
to Europe quicker and cheaper than direct
from the Southern ports. A much cheaper
way than either of these is to ship it over the
Grand Trunk direct to Portland and then re-
ship to England.
There is every reason to expect large bust
ness to result from this present shipment from
ST. Louis. People are slowly beginning to find
out that Portland is quite shipping port.
