It rfporte1 thla morning that tlie
larice British eteamer Nairnshire. !"
tons net regiEtr, Is on the way to this
port from Melbourne, Australia. - She
should arrive here soon if cominjr di
rect, because the report states that sho
sailed on November 26. -
The Nairnshire Is suitable for either
jrraln or lumber, and it la possible that
she is under engagement for either, al
though none of the shipping; people
here profess having any inside informa
tion on the subject.-
Other large steamers due to arrive
here Boon are the TweeddaJe, (Jymerlc
and Boverlc. all of; them to carry away
lumber. The Tweeddale is due to ar
rive here next week. ; She Is now at
IS anal mo taking on a quantity of coal.
The Tweeddale and Boverlc will load
for Australia and the Gymeric I, booked
to load for Singapore. Other foreign
vessels ' under charter -to load lumber
here soon are the French barks Alice
and Eugene Schneider, both of them
due to arrive most inr dav.
The fleet of sailing vessels en route
from Europe and other destinations now
numbers only 17 name. Of these seven
are coming with cement and general
cargo, and one is bringing a quantity
of coal from Newcastle, England. This
is the British bark Matterhorn which
Is about' as well known here as anv of
the coasters. Other cargo ships araths
Carmanian from Hamburg, the Desalx,
Glenalvon, Gulf Stream and Poltalloch
from Ant wern and the- La Tour da Au-
vergne from Hamburg. The Jotal net
tonnage of the fleet enroute Is much
smaller than the usual for this time of
the year, a will be seen from the fact
that while the total today Is 32,247 tons.
It was 99.3K7 at the corresponding time
iHtt year. 64,861 tons in 1906 and J J,,
tic in 110&. i I . ',....
rt t this -time ia also
smaller than ordinarily by several thou
sand tons. Including the British steam
ers Rtrathnalrn and Unganda there are
15 foreign vessels in the river today,
the aggregate net tonnage of which is
81.869. On the corresponding date of
last year the tonnage was 66,406, on the
same date Jn 1906 Ft was 87,040, and In
1906 it was 88,417. -
Thla condition of affairs is due tb
the fact that bulk .of the wheat ship
ping this season was' done during the
months of September, October and No
vember. .

sailor boarding house masters will only
be permitted to charge a fee of $20 or
less for furnishing sailors, the amount
to be in addition to the $25 advance col

other words, the legal price for sailors
will be $45 or less per head Instead of
$56, which Is now being charged by
