RESULT OF BAD WEATHER
No Record Breaking Totals Can be
Expected This Month-Tug coving-
ton lowed Into Port in Disabled
condition-Along the Waterfront.

In spite of the unfavorable con
ditions during the week end
ing last night the grain ship
ments for the week were among the
largest of the year and placed this
port third on the list OF sixteen United
States and Canadian ports as to corn
exports
New York headed the list and New
Orleans came second and Newport
News was ahead Of the others by a
good margin.
On account Of the terrible weather
during the first three days OF the
week, no vessels sailed. During the
latter part Of the week, however,
three steamers sailed, carrying car
goes aggregating 3S2,S57 bushels OF
corn.
The unfavorabe weather conditions
have interfered materially with ship
ping all during this month and the in
dications are that the custom house
records will not show any record
breaking figures on the twenty-e eighth.

Interests OF Halifax. Lunenberg and other
purts are intensely interested in the sit

Newfoundland government revoHng the
bait purchasing privileges enjoyed by
Uniteo States fishermen 10 the exclusion
OF the French fshing feet. Some OF the
Nova Scotia newspapers endorse the ac-
ton OF the New Foundand government
and place the blame for the present diff
cvlty upon the fishermen OF Gloucester.
Mass by whose influence IL is claimed
the United states senators practically
nullihed a treaty which had been drawn
up b. Secretary OF state Hay and Prem
Ter Bond of New Foundland
IL Is pointed out that the interests
which brought about the existing unpleas-
antness are. also the chief sufferers.
II is not denied by owners OF Nova
Scotia fishing vessels and shippers that
they were pleased when the Washington
sena te amended the treaty to such an
extent that Il became unacceptable 10
New Foundland. Had the treaty been
made effective It would have adversely
affected the Nova Scotia fishing indus
try.
A popularity Of the situation is the
fact That a very large proportion OF the
crews in the feet consists Of Nova SEQ
tians. II the action of New Foundland
should prove serious to the Gloucester
fleet Il Is said more Nova scotians than
native Americans would be affected
