SHIPPING ITEMS. One of the closest races on rec
ord between square rugged vessels ended Dec
22.with the arrival at Boston OF the British ship
u
Ayres and the British bark Gael, Capt. Soria,
from Ruenos Ayres. Both vessels left Buenos
Ayres Oct. &C. and while the ship reached the
harbor ahead the bark really won the race, for
she stopped at Barbados the way and was
delayed full day at that port. From the
time of leaving the River Plate the vessels
were never in sight of one another until reach
ing South Channel Wednesday, when they
were almost side by side for a time The
last schooner in port at Bangor sailed Dec.
10Th with lumber for Bridgeport, leaving the

Boston Globe of Dec. 26th, says: Coast
wise freights continue to advance and nave
reached the highest point in recent years
From Chesapeake Bay ports, schooners are re-
ceiving SIPS per ton, which is double the rate
paid for carrying coal three months ago. The
demand for tonnage exceeds the supply, de-
spite the fact that many big steam golfers
have recently been added to the fleet of coal
carriers and several steamers engaged in gen.
eral freighting have been chartered to move
fuel 1t is believed that the unprecedented
demand for tonnage will stimulate shpbuilc-
ing, and that many orders for new vessels Will
be placed in the spring"
