There is quite an active jobbing and retail

continue below the parity of the rates obtained
for leather. Buyers in the latter market oper-

ing the steamer Belfast. which was damaged
by collision with a scow in the lower harbor.
Boston, recently while inward bound from
Bangor, has been awarded to William Cramp

$4,000 was the lowest received. After tempo-
rary repairs were made the Belfast proceeded
to Philadelphia Dec. 10th under her own steam
-. The reports in the daily papers last week of
the accident to he steamer Castine were in
correct. The Castine did not call for assist
ance or need any. When Capt. Coombs found
his steamer was leaking he beached her at the
Lime Kiln, where the leak was stopped tenn
porarily. The Casrlne than proceeded to Cam
den under her own steam. made repairs there
and resumed her route Monday morning.
