As was expected, there was general demoralization among the vessel agents yesterday. The market for grain freights was broken on Thursday by the owner of the steamship Inter Ocean putting her in at 2^ cents, and the best rate that could be obtained from shippers yesterday was 2 cents on either wheat or corn to Buffalo. This figure was freely accepted, and the prospect is that the bottom is not yet reached. . ,- IltlllttTIl ilJDIiUMUU Lilt; scow Moses Gaire, and was all ready to be pumped out when the storm came on and undid all the good work.

East Tawas, Mich., May 18.—The schooner Harvey Bissell went ashore at '3 o'clock p. m. about two hundred feet west of the East Tawas Salt and Lumber Co.'s dock. They have got lines to the dock. A sea is rolling against her from the southwest, but as the bottom here is sandy she will probably sustain but little damage, though her load of coal and railroad iron may have to be lightered. Special Telegram to The Inter Ocean. ILvsT Tawas, Mich., May IS.-Schr H. Bissell, loaded with railroad iron and coal, was struck by a squall from the southeast, and commenced dragging anchor, when both anchors were dropped, but they did not hold. A kedge anchor was then obtained, and the three will probably hold her unless the wind becomes stronger. She lies in a bad position—too near the beach to make sail.

A monster fleet of vessels came driving up the lake during Sunday night and yesterday morning, and, not being able to secure the assistance of tugs, they dropped their anchors outside. They are strung all the way along the shore from Grosse Point to points abreast of the piers, and not a few unfor-¦ tunate ones are to leeward of the piers. So thick were they off the mouth of the harbor THAT THEY FOULED in several instances and sustained serious damage. At 6 o'clock yesterday morning no less than seventy-five sail were counted at anchor. During the day the tugs busied themselves towing in craft that came bowling alomr, and those at anchor, or a majority of them, had '. to wait, and were still waiting at midnight last night. A tug will not go to a vessel which has her anchors down when she can pick up a vessel on the wing. The grain-loaded barge Manitowoc drifted down on the schooner Mary L. Higgle, carrying away the latter's bowsprit and sustaining damage herself. The Higgie was afterward towed in. The Manitowoc is still outside.

The lumber-laden barge Carpenter was waterlogged and flying a signal of distress. She is at anchor directly off the piers. The schooner Jesse L. Boyce lost her bowsprit and jibboom. She was towed in. All the vessels which were at anchor and got into the harbor only secured tugs by shipping then anchors. Among those were the M. L. Higgie, Hattie Hutt, Ella Ellimwood, Jesse L. Boyce, etc. The , scow Anna Tomine shipped her anchors and run for South Chicago. The C. B. Jones is back in the harbor. The R. B. Hayes and John Miner, bound in, are at anchor. The four-master Alex B. Moore [now called the Northwest), bound from Milwaukee to Escanaba, is also outside Chicago, and a vessel thought to be the Angua Smith. The barge Lone Star is at anchor four miles off Grosse Point, and may weather the gale. The Ida Keith passed close to her, and she had no signal of distress. The Manitowoc's rudder head Is gone. THE SCHOONER R. P. MASON, which was on the breakwater Sunday night, is still at anchor outside, with half a crew on board.

W. Brown, the oldest, ten-derest craft on this lake, came in yesterday morning without a scratch and without the loss of a slab from her deckload. She is in great luck. Two men and a boy were rescued from the Ful-lerton Avenue Crib by the life-saving crew yesterday. They have been there since Sunday morning. The S. B. Pomeroy, which arrived last evening, reported seventy-five vessels there at anchor between Evanston and Chicago. Captain Blackburn, of the firm of Atkins & Beckwith, has left the city to look after the stranded schooner Lillie E. Atkins & Beckwith's 10-inch pump is on a sinking canaler in the North Branch, and the 12-inch pump has gone to ' the stranded schooner Arrow. Two ladies reported at the V. O. T. office last evening that two vessels were ashore near Evanston. These arc supposed to be the barge Sonora, at anchor, and the unknown sunken vessel. The Maggie Dall is at Milwaukee dismasted. . Captain Archer, of the schooner Hattie Hutt, had a serious fall on board during the storm. The schooner George came here from the Manitous in 24 hours. NARROW ESCAPE OF THE LEHIGH. Last evening the steamship Lehigh missed the harbor and would have gone on the south pier had not Union Line tugs gone to the rescue. She was finally brought in safely. The Lehigh is one of the finest craft on the lakes. She measures 1,704 tons and is valued at $175,000. The fine steamship William Edwards came in a little later. Both are coat loaded. The schooner Cascade struck the breakwater and sustained damage. The barge Merrimac is at anchor outside. The steamship Minneapolis towed the schooner George in. The schooner George A.

It is the desire of the people of this town that you be present. In addition to the opening of the dock (which we have decided to christen "The Queen's"), there will be features of a local nature presented which will be interesting and entertaining. I have the honor to be, dear sir, yours, etc., Acam Dudgeon, Mayor. The history of the dry dock is brief. On June 9 last the town voted almost unanimouslv to grant a bonus of $25,000 to J. D. Sileox, of Welland, to build, complete and. equip a dry dock of I he to] lowing dimensions: Length from mitre sill to end of dock, 320 feet; a width inside of 60 feet; a gate entrance of 50 feet; depth of water over mitre sill, 14 feet; first quality masonry in abutments, wing and,, retaining walls; first-class machinery for pumping, &o., all of which has been accomplished to the credit of the builders and to onr entire satisfaction. We hope that you will find it convenient to be present at the opening of au enterprise which is not only local but national in its character, and which we take the liberty to say is another and important step in the progress which we are rapidly making in advancing the snipping and commercial interests of the country.

The schooner Mary Ellen Cook, in command of the owner, Captain Williams, about 3 o'clock yesterday morning was heading for the city, when suddenly a heavy s.ea heaved her bow high upon the piles of the exterior breakwater.
