The quartet of steamers with 579,94 bushels of grain to load and the rest expected to swell weekly cargoes push toward about 1,600,000 bushels. Vessels include Michigan to Liverpool Angin and Lady Joicey to London and Hibernian to Glasgow. The Peruvian departed Rosco with routine run to Mystic Wharf, while Asloun from Java carried 11,613 baskets of sugar to American Sugar Refining.
