Boston, Nov. 29.-It is known defin-
lost in wrecks of tugs, schooners and
coal barges during the storm of Sat
urday night and Sunday morning, and
if the steamer Portland has also gone

Is scarcely bay, harbor or inlet from
Penobscot to New London that has
not on its shores the bones of some
staunch craft, while along the Massa-
chusetts bay and Boston harbor the
beaches are piled high with wreckage
of schooners and coal bafges. Every
life saving crew performed deeds of
heroism in rescuing crews from
stranded vessels and tugboat captains
risked life and property in their en-
deayor to save life.
The managers OF the Boston & Port
land Railroad company stated last
night that there were grave doubts
as to the safety of the steamer Port
land. which sailed from this city Sat-
urday night. Every port but one be-
tween here and Portland has been
heard from; the only remaining har-
Dor which she could have reached is
Provincetown on Cape Cod. and news
from that point is anxiously awaited.
1t is still impossible to reach that port
by wire. The crew and passengers on
the Portland numbered 81.

what for considerable tobacco has
been bought lately under the six cent
mark. which it seemed impossible to
do a few weeks ago, says The Wiscon-

About all that is needed now to set
things going is casing weather of suf-

hanging tobacco. There ere plenty Of
buyers ready to take the field when

of what the tobacco is like. Some even
haven't waited, and more sales have
been made of late than is generally
known, for buyers who are out have
not been idle by any means, though
the seal of secrecy was placed on their
transactions. Some offers are being
made on filler portions of the new
crop, but growers generally are not
disposed to separate them from the
