A stroll along the wharf on Monday even
| ing was very convincing that business is
| brisking somewhat in the shipping trade,
| both by rail and water. A number of local
| barges were lying in wait for coal, which is
being shipped in large quantities by rail.
| Several vessels were anchored in the bay
ready to receive their cargo as soon as the
former are laden with their average capacity
| of 800 tons. There is also lying at the wharf
the watermelon Bug Eye, and the large
| schooner (Joseph Luther) loaded with pine
wood from tue romantic town of Monitor,
| Nova Scotia. The schooner when first landed
contained 400 cords of white pine wood,
| which is transferred into box cars and
shipped by rail TO Conowingo Paper Mills.
This business has, during the summer, given
employment to about 20 men. This is the
second trip the Joseph Luther has made
from the point mentioned to Perryville
| within the last three months. a number
of vessels having a smaller capacity have
also been delivering wood of the same kind
from other ports. With some little expense
by our government, our wharves could be
made one of the best shipping points on the
Susquehanna, as the railroad facilities inter
sectipg at this point afford the greatest OF
advantages. The average daily shipments
of coal over the Port Deposit Branch
amounts to about 800 tons, of which the
larger amount is transferred and shipped
by water to Baltimore, Norfolk and other
points South.
