today from the Grand Banks with the
largest catch of fish ever brought into an

fine cod. The Woodruff is one of I. NJ.
Nicholsons Bucksport fleet.
Boston, Sept y. The reported loss of the
ship Emily F. Whitney on the coast of
Japan, and the drowning of several of her
crew is discredited by her Boston owner,
Mr.. j. II. Flitner The disparity in the
time of the ship leaving Hong Kong and the
sailing of the steamer Empress of India
which reported the disaster, leads to the be-
lief that there is little truth in the story.
Hyannis, Mass, Sept %. sch William
Slater, from Bangor for n Y with a cargo
of lumber aud ice, arrived here this after
bpl tb,t al
west side of the harbor. She reports that
during southeast gale this morning she
twice parted her chains, losing an anchor off
Bishops aud Clerks and again lost one
while trying for an anchorage. The failure
OF the chain to hold the second time caused
her to drift and ground, but she tioated with
the assistance of the U. S. S. Azalea.
THE KATAHDINs HARD VOYAGE. The brig
katahdin, bound from Bangor to Bristol, r
|. with a cargo of lumber, which left Port
land two or three days ago. after lying at
anchor; off the breakwater for week, has
been having a pretty rough time. The
katahdin left Bangor three weeks ago and
when she sailed out of Portland her crew
consisted of a cook and three sailors. The
captain was flat his back in his cabin.
The mate had got discouraged at the out
look and had taken French leave. The
vessel was leaking badly and when she
arrived off Chatham, encountered some
rough weather that she was in no condition
to stand. If it had not been for the Mono
moy life savers, the brig would have
Jared pretty badly. She was obliged to
come to anchor on the south side of the
shoal half way over to Nantucket and the
crew had been at the pumps for 40 hours.
The life savers got the vessel to a place of
safety and pumped her out.
FREIGHTs. The Freight Circular of Brown
a. Co, New York, reports for the week end
ing Sept. Oath as follows; In long voyage
tonnage there is very little doing, though
the indications are regarded as pointing to
an early Improvement in the demand for
Case OIL vessels to the far East. The lead
ing shippers, it is understood, are disposed
to contract for tonnage upon the basis of
rates now ruling. Foreign owners can;obtain
more remHnerative employment abroad, and
are not seeking to secure freight from this
side. There is no demand for general cargo
tonnage to the Colonies, the competition of
steam unsettling the situation. Some in
curry Is noticed for barrel petroleum ton
mage, but vessels are offered sparingly at
the rates quoted. There is only moderate
demand tor lumber tonnage to the River
Plate, the market there being disturbed
somewhat by the Argentne-Chili comphca-
tlons. Rates from the Gulf to Buenos Ayres
have receded to S12 25@$12 so. Some few
Brazil orders are in market, but shippers do
not advance their views materially hence
little tonnage is offered West India freghts
are offered more freely, and slightly better
rates are obtainable, but owners are not
prompt to accept the business submitted,
pleading poor return freights, and desire
to avoid the tropical weather at this period
OF the year. Coastwise lumber tonnage is
in demand, but owners are holding out for
advanced rates which shippers are reluctant
to grant. The tendency of the market how
ever, is upward. Golfers to the East have
continued in good demand, but the tonnage
supply has been ample, and an advance in
rates has therefore been checked.
