Three large schooners will leave Great
Egg HarborthiS week for Mexico and South
America i'll search of consignments, owing
to the dullnoss of the trade in this part of
the country. The bulk of the coasting
trade is now done by steamers, which can
profitably carry freights at rates which must
soon drive sailing vessels out of our waters.
1t is not SO long since the price paid for
carrying coal from Philadelphia to Boston
was three dollars a ton. while now the
steam colliers carry it for ninety cents,
rate which is ruinous to the sailing craft.
Consequently our New Jersey vessels are
obliged to lay idle or seek employment
in South American waters, but if all our
idle ships rush to that part of the globe the
trade there will be reduced by competitor
to an Improbable figure In Great Egg
Harbor no less than dozen large schooners
are anchored and idle, representing a dor
mant capital of $780, 000 while in Great
Bay. Little Egg IIarbor and Bamegat Bay
there are many more idle coasters, worth
probably $500. 900, and the same condition
of affairs exists along the Delaware Bay
shore Atlantic county vessel owners are
discouraged by the present condition of
shipping trade.
1t is the desire of the Commissioner to
have New Jersey crcditably represented i'll
all the departments at the forthcoming
Worlds Fair at New Orleans, and Mr.. f.
Burrough, Chairman of the Agricultural
Committee on Exhibits, has issued circu-
lar calling for Agricultural exhibits for this
Exposition, and is dcSirous of obtaining

berts. broomcon, seed and stalks; buck
wheat, all varieties: sorghum, millet and
Hungarian grass, and other grasses: the
new varieties of wheat, rye and oats, and
other articles of like character. All sam
pies contributed should be marked plainly

and post-office address The limited time
allowed for this collection makes it es-
pecially desirable for contributors to send
their samples as soon as possible. Any addi-
