MARINE MISCELLANY.
Boothbay IIarbor, Sept. 6. The Red Star
Towing Co. of Boston have succeeded in
floating the sch. VIM. Churchill, before re-
ported ashore at the entrance of Damaris-
Gotta River, Boothbay. She is at Boothbay
Harbor, where she viii go on the railway;
san Francisco, Cal, Sept. $, 1900. The
American ship May Flint collded with the
bark Vidette tonight, in the bay, off the
mail dock. Then she drifted against the
bows of the battleship Iowa, split open,
filled, and sunk. AS far as known no lives
were lost. The May Flint was IA four-mast-
ed iron ship of 3,577i tons, and was formerly
the Persian Monarch.
Portland, Me-, Sept. Schr. Chas l..
Davenport, recently damaged by fire on the
passage from Philadelphia to Bangor, is I'M
dergoing thorough repairs at Thomaston
The burned section covered a space of 6
feet OF more fore and aft, and 10 feet in
height on either side, leaving simply shell
of woodwork, so thin that a stick thrust in
to the charred portion of the woodwork
passed clear through the hull. The repairs
will occupy fully month.
Boston, Sept. 10. There is no increase in
the available supply of sail tonnage and the
business to all foreign ports is kept within
narrow limits. There is steady inquiry for
carriers to South America and the West
Indies, but the latter orders are executed
with difficulty, owners heSitating to accept
southern freights. Coastwise lumber ton
mage is in better request and rates are
growing stronger. Coal rates are growing
stronger, influenced by an improved de-
mand.
Bangor, Sept. s. With the beginning of
September there has been an improvement
in the condition of eastern shipping inter
ests, freights having advanced little, while
the volume of business is perhaps % per
cent greater than during August. Lumber
freightS from Bangor to New York have ad-
vanced from - per thousand to $2.12, and
sound rates are from S1.75 to S1.S7. Coal
freights from New York to Maine ports,
which were as low as 50 cents during the
summer and never over g. are now quoted
steady at IS and several vessels have lately
been chartered at 70 cents, while the rate
from Philadelphia to ports east of Cape Cod
has advanced to 81 and S1.05 per ton. Near
ly all the Sawmills in Maine are now run
ming, and although there has been no ad-
vance in the price of lumber the demand
has improved and more vessels will be
needed from this time out.
