The Lothian's cargo is valued at $6,770. Flour was the principal item on her mainfest, and she also took about one-fourth of an ordinary ship load of barley. Japanese firms have been purchasing considerable barley here, presumably for use of the army. and every vessel departing for the far east takes more or less of the cereal. For Kobe, Japan, the Lothian takes 25,828 bushels of barley, worth $14 760; 1,250 barrels of flour, valued at $4,900; 500 cases of condensed milk, worth, 11,750, and 00 cases of salmon, worth $1,560. .

An Associated Piess dispatch re ceived yesterday from San Francisco conveys the pleasing intelligence that the steam schooners which were laid up In Oakland creek as a result of the strikes occurring among the employes are again resuming their respective runs to northern coast points. During the strikes, first of the marine en gineers and then of the masters and waiters, practically all of the vessels were put out of commission, and the coastwise trade was more or less de moralized. Now that the strikers de mands have been adjusted, the vessels are resuming their business. During the past few days seven of the steam schooners have left the Bay city for northern ports to load lum ber. The entire fleet has been taken out of the creek and prepared for trips to the north, and generally settlement 'of the difficulties has been character ized by activity. While the strike was on many sail ing schooners were chartered to load lumber, but the resumption of the steam schooner traffic will not ma terially affect the status of these ves sels. The lumber business has been very dull for several months past, and in almost every other northern town the mills have ben closed down en tirely, or are operating five hours dally. The Hume mill Is now running five days a week, but the other mills are working full time. When the lumber trade picks up there will be plenty of work for the coasting carriers, steam and sail. Strike Is Giving Way. New Tork. April 11. The strike on the Panama railroad seems to be glv ing way owing, cables the Herald's correspondent at Panama, to the com pany bringing over about 50 Fortune island men from Colon, and the ex pectatlon that more laborers will ar rive from New Tork on tlJ steamar due Tuesday. The isthmus canal commls sion has visited the Georeona section of the canal and will ascend the Chargres where the old canal company planned great dam to feed the locks. RUSSIA PURCHASES LINERS.
