NOTICE TO MARINERS. IMPORTANT. Notice
| is hereby given that on and after Tuesday
April 26, 1898, and until further orders, all
channels leading to Portland Harbor from
| sea. will be closed to navigation by a system
of explosive turpedocs, and all masters of
vessels are forbidden to attempt to pass
| through any except the channel from the
southwark, between Portland Head and
Gushing Island. In using this channel eau
ton must be exercised and the following
directions be carefully followed:
Five black and white perpendicular strip
ed spar buoys, placed one quarter of mile
apart on line of bearing N by W IA W,
and by E 4 E, will mark the safe chan
mel, and vessels entering or passing out,
should leave these buoys close aboard on
either hand
At night, being abreast of Portland Head
Light, bring Spring Point Ledge Light to
bear n by w 4 W, and steer in on that
course until the middle of Gushing Island is
abeam, when all dangers will be passed. The
forbidden passages are:
White Heal,
| Husseys Sound
Chandler Cove,
Between Great Chebeague Island and Lit
tlejohn Island.
In these forbidden passages all buoys will
be removed, and it will be extremely haz.
ardous to attempt to pass through them.

| FREIGHTs. The Freight Circular Of Brown
& Co., New York, reports for the week end
! ing April 23d as follows Case oil shippers
are DESTROYS of obtaining prompt and early
vessels for far eastern destinations, and
were such obtainabe would meet owners
| promptly upon the basis of fail previous
rates. There is less inquiry for forward
| tonnage, though the market for such is re-
garded as steady in tone. The Australian
\ lines yet hold aloof upon the claim that in
| view OF the steam competition, sufficient
| tonnage is already under contract to cover
! their prospective wants for sometime. There
| is absolutely nothing in African freghts
| the competition between the steam lines
| forcing rates to an extremely low basis
| River Plate lumber shippers are in need of
| additional tonnage from the East and Gulf
but they seemingly have reached their rate
| limit. American owners refuse to embark
in the trade, and foreigners, in anticipation
of more renumerative returns later on, are
| holding back awaiting the turn in affairs
now promised by the Spanish American
| complications. These same remarks also APP
| ply to other South American aud West India
| trades, it being difficult at the moment to
secure tonnage of any nationality Since
our last, $40 and port charges has been paid
! for lumber from Pensacola to Laguayra
! Coastwse lumber rates are advancing in
| consequence of scarcity of tonnage South
and the unwillingness of owners to send
j their vessels out on ballast to the loadin g
| ports. From Fernandina to New York S..
! has been paid, and from Brunswick and Sa
! tilla $4.75, but an advance upon these figures
| is now required. Coal tonnage to the East
has improved in demand and somew hat
| higher rates are being obtained. The market
closed strong and buoyant.
