tug she must lie at the dock and do nothing else but purify smoke, as she is unable to do any work whilé the appliance is on. And they add in conclusion that their business is harbor towing, and not running smoke “filters.” ; ‘The timber trade at this port is likely to be much larger than last season, Mr. C. J. ‘Chenevert was in the city to-day from De- fiance, and says the cut of timber during the past winter was a great deal larger than the year previously. Mr. Chenevengs the gen- tleman who isso largely interested in taking out timber at Defiance and shipping it through Canadian ports to Europe.—Toledo Blade. Sunday afternoon last William Marshall, keeper of Spectacle Reef light, with three assistants. ‘'homas Chambers, James Mar- shall and Edward Lasty, started for Spectacle Reef, and when about two miles west of Bois Blanc light the boat capsized and James Marshall was drowned. His body has not been found. The remainder of the party were in the water three hours before,‘being rescued. Captain McInnes, of Buffalo, will super- intend the rebuilding of the propeller Onei- da, which was partially destroyed: by fire at Collingwood. ‘The -work ot, rebuilding has been greatly delayed by the Collingwood drydock men, and it is more than likely, if it is not vigorously pushed foreward, Cap- tain McInnes will be compelled to tow the hull ot the Oneida to some American: dry- dock.—Toronto Mail. The towing rates through the Welland ca- nal this season will be as follows: From Port Colborne to Port Dalhousie and vice versa light, 16 cents per ton; loaced to ten | feet and under, 18 cents per ton ; loaded over ten feet, 20 cents per ton; Port Colborne to Thorald headlock and vice versa, 10 cents per ton under all circumstances. No‘special rates for vessels less than 140 tons, ‘The cap- tains will not consider it their duty to stop vessels in locks. Statistical reports show that thé trade be- tween Europe, the far East and Australia is so rapidly increasing, through the Suez Canal, that itis now undeniable that the original conception of the canal by De Les- seps ‘was altogether on too smal] a scale. As the accommodations are no longer adequate, De Lesseps has found it necessary to propose an immediate large.outlay for improvements. The number of tidings. are to be increased, the administration reorganized, and the reg- ulations for the ‘passing ships modified. It is objected that this is not‘enough, that itis only a makeshift arrangement, and that it is necessary to prepare for the future, as ina very short time the canal will be unequal to the traffic; and that it is really ‘necessary. to construct a second canal close to the first, to be worked. on the principle of a double track railroad, so that the ships will go in the same direction in each canal. The enormous cost of this plan retards it, but in the mean- time necessary improvements proposed by De Lesseps will be carried out. FREIGHTS. ; Freights during the week have not fluctu- ated much, although prices have remained, firm. There is from 25 to 50 cents difference be- “tween lumber shippers and vesselmen on rates from Midland to Duluth—the former offering $2.25 to $3,50 per thousand, and the carriers demanding $3.75. There is considerable speculation among, grain carriers-at—Buffalo_ regarding canat treights, and hopes are entertained of secur- ing good rates at the opening of navigation. Contracts have been made so far at 546 cents on wheat and 5 cents on corn to New York, and carriers are now holding off for a-still higher rate. The Menominee Iron Company recently closed a contract with the steambarges Es- eanaba, Argonaut, and Inter Ocean for the carrying of 17,000 tons of iron ore from Es- canaba to lower lake ports: for $1 per ton. This is considered a fair figure in view of the depression that is supposed to pervade the shipping industry. 2 Lumber rates from ‘Toronté-to Oswego are being made at $1.25 per 1,000 feet, and are pretty firm. The inquiry for vessels at Bay .City is good and carriers are asking $2.50 per thous- and on lumber to Buffalo.
