The stocks of the-coarse grains, corn, oats, rye and barley at Duluth are very low but there is about 5,000,000 bushels of wheat stored here and about 3,000,000 bushels of flax.

The coal handfed$ at this port and the railroads hauling coal to the northwest have not beens: altogether successful in getting interior retail dealers to purchase their requirements _ early. Every effort has been made but | with the continued large quantities of coal coming up the lakes, the movement of coal to the interior is slow énough to give promise of a possible crowditig of the docks. This season is one of the heaviest shipping years Ashland has had for some time particularly in the matter of coal receipts. An interesting circum- stance has been the loading of the J. P. Morgan for three consecutive Sun- days at that port not only because of the regularity but as indicating time required to make the round trip from Ashland. One of the Morgan's cargoes went to Chicago and the other to Fairport so that the time required is shown to be just a week to. either port. The launching of the new -steamer the: 'when same compass?

In steam vessels they can be either placed forward or pretty well aft. They are usually placed forward. Sidelights are always placed inside of a screen, and this screen must pro- ject at least three feet forward of the light. This is to prevent these lights from being seen across the bows, that is, the green light from being seen from the port side and the red light from the starboard side. 37. board 38. ~a vessel 'is lying 'at' anchor, ' horizon.

The Austrian minister of commerce has recently again taken up the discus- sion of the need of new harbor, works at the port of Trieste. The port has been yisited by a board of experts for the object of studying the subject and conferring with the municipal and . maritime authorities as to the nature 5 and extent of the improvements to be- undertaken. Certain new harbor works 4 are at present being pushed to comple- oo tion and it is believed that the projects now in view will' not be allowed to drop although the plans are beset with | many difficulties, owing to the fact that -- many conflicting commercial interests are at stake. Capt. W. P. Potter, U. S..N., who has been assigned to the command of 'the new 16,000-ton battleship Vermont, at present lying at the Charlestown. navy yard, joined the vessel on June 3. The Vermont will not be completely finished and_ outfitted until after Old Home week in July.
