Cardigan Notes.
Che cold weather has partially interfered with shipments from Cardigan Bridge dur- ing the past weck, and considerable ice has formed in the river.
The Edith A., of Pubnico, loaded by Jas. F. Norton & Co. for E. M. Ely, of New York, cleared on Saturday, the 6th, with a full load of whites, hebrons and rose potatoes for New York. This cargo has been carefully selected, and is intended for seed for next year; experience having taught the American farmers that potatoes from Prince Edward Island are more desir- able for planting than those grown in their own country.
The brigt. Aquila, with 7,000 bushels chenangoes fur McDonald & Westaway,
also got away on Saturday, but did not |
have the full complement of her cargo. The balance will be loaded in Georgetown.
The schr. Dolphin, partly loaded by D. C. Morson &Co., went down to Green’s Shore on Sunday evening, and is taking in the balance of her cargo at that place.
The schr. Brudenell, loading for Hon. D. Gordon, Georgetown, at the Government Wharf, left on Monday with 2,000 bushels potatoes, and is taking in the remainder at Cardigan Wharf.
The brigt Caspian, schrs. Cepola, Stanley Mac, Soudan, Senovar, G. C. Schwartz and Carmena are still loading here.
Potatoes that had been selling steadily all the fall at 20 cents moved up to 22 on Tuesday last, when the weather got fit to load. On Wednesday, the 10th inst., a
, ; 7 by 7 g S wai lers | very large business was done by the traders
especially by James E. McDonald, Esq., who is shipping a cargo of oats, beef, mut- ton and pork for St. John’s, Newfound- land. Hundreds of carcasses were brought in that day; besides, some 4,000 bushels of potatoes distributed ameng the several vessels.
Christopher McDonald, Esq., of Antig- onish, is here loading the Soudan. E. M. Ely, of New York, is looking after the cargo of the Stanley Mac.
Mr. W. C. Kennedy, Insurance Agent, went through to Dundaseon Saturday, to spend Sunday with his friends there.
Considerable complaint is made that the second train to Georgetown has been can- celled, while it has been continued on the Souris branch. It seems that the Dominion Government are more obliging to their op- ponents than to their friends; and I fear the slight put on Cardigan, Georgetgwn - Murray Harbor districts will be resent- ed.

Halifax has not so many manufactures or so large ones as St. John. Yet Halifax has between twenty and thirty exhibitors im the great Jamaica show, while St. John has four.

Rev. P. A. McEIimeel, Rev. Dr. Morrison, P.|[Biake, M. P.P., and Richard Reddin, Esq., briefly addressed the meeting, urging the con- gregation to assist the society during the coming winter, which will uo doubt be a severe one.
