Local and General News of ships

The wharves at the foot of Bull and
Whitaker streets were crowded last
night with colored excursionists bound
for Beaufort to attend the Decoration
Day celebration there. The steamboat
Clifton was at the foot of Whitaker
street to take $50 eXcursionists, the
steamboat Clayton was at the foot of
Bull street for 500 more, and the steam
boat Louise left during the afternoon
by way of Daufuskie and Button,
where she will pick up about 275 pas
sengerS.
Capt. H. A. Strobhar. manager of
the Georgia Carolina Navigation Com
pany has been handling the Decora ton
Day crowds at the wharves for many
years This year he decided to facili-
tate the departure of the boats by keep
ing the crowds back, which was done
by stretching ropes about the WharVes
and admitting only holders of tickets.
There are always about twice the num-
Der of visitors as there are excursion
lists and they at times give trouble,
to say nothing of the delay caused in
departing.
The Savannah Custom House will be
closed to-day on account of Decora-
ton Day, so that vessels cannot be en-
tered and cleared.
In the sail tonnage market business
was very light and confined to the
coastwise trades. There is no improve
ment in the demand for tonnage either
for off-shore business or coastwise.
Rates for tonnage to foreign ports are
well sustained, owing to the scant sup
ply of available vessels, while coast
wise freights appear a trifie easier. In
the steam tonnage market the situa-
ton continues unchanged. Boats are
in limited request, and owing to the
light offerings recent rates are we'll
sustained.-New York Journal of Com
