/ schooner of 1900 tons. Thus the close of
the week found three large schooners un-

nents to pus up similar craft early in

New England Company has an ls0O-ton
steamer on hand and has the prospect of
an order for schooner. The indications
are that the early spring will find all the
principal shipyaris along the city's water
front occupied by vessels of some kind.
