The tonnage of this port for last month
was greatly increased over that of Au-
gust, and very much heavier than in Sep.
TENDER, 1886. The total number of yes
sells arriving last month was 93, against
60 in August, and n in the month of
September last year. The total tonnage
last month was 3SS9, against 79S1S in
August, and S3.SOS in September last year.
The greatest part of the increase Is in
the number of foreign steamships arriving
last month, being 10, against l in August.
and during September, 1896
The British steamship Wakefield, Cant.
Wall, from Hull. arrived at Tybee yes
terday morning and anchored. In the af-
ternoon she received orders to proceed to
Galveston, and sailed for her destination.
Three British steamships cleared YES
terday for foreign ports with phosphate
rock, pig iron and cotton. The total shin
ments were 49, 030 bales of cotton. 4156 tons
of phosphate rock and 2,4OO tons of pi,
iron. The total valuation of the cargoes

Capt. August e. Blom has left Wash
ington for Norfolk, Va, where he will
take charge of the New Diamond Shoal
liuhf oh No l.
York. 1t is expected that the ship will
be on her station about to-day. She
will be anchored in thirty fathoms or
water, five and one-half nautical miles
from the easterly point of the outer Dia-
mond shoal. Beside the master and the |
mate the vessel will have a crew of eleven |
men. This point is regarded by naviga- |
tors as one of the most dangerous on the |
Atlantic coast, and owing to the shifting
sand bottom doubts have been expressed |
of the ability of an anchor to hold a YES |
sci in place during a gale.
Steam and sail craft which carry coal
to the West Indies and other foreign |
ports will in the future be required by |
the underwriters to carry shifting boards |
to keep the cargo in place during heavy |
weather. 1t is believed that many yes |
sells have been lost because they could |
not be righted after the cargo had shifted. |
Owing to the yellow fever in the south.
many vessels which have heretofore trad
ed to New Orleans and Mobile in the fruit
carrying trade from Central America have |
been ordered to Philadelphia and New |
York. The Norwegian steamship Harold
has arrived at New York and the John
Wilson, from Bocas del Toro, is due at
Philadelphia this week.

he advises ship owners in the United |
States not to charter vessels for the ISL |
and, without first collecting their freigh, |
in the United States. Finances in the ISL |
and also seem to be in a bad way. for |

Guadalupe, the only bank on the island. |

drafts without any notice of an intention |
to resume. The bank had DrpVi0us1v baan |
