The Journal has noted the low water conditions which have prevailed at points it the Neuse river and in Oroataa Bound, which havo greatly Interferred with the -shipping Interest of this port These conditions appear to be grow ing worse, and it ia necessary that the merchants and business men of New Bern take some positive action at once, if they do not want to see a material rail Ing off tn their trade. One instance of this low water condi tion Is seen In the case ef the barge Wm Donaldson, Capt John T Clark, and this cast Illustrates the esses of all others coming here. The Wm Donaldson left Norfolk for this port with a cargo of fertilisers, and it took her eight full days, when the time should be three and one half days. The barge was loaded to a depth of eight, instead of nine feet, as It wsa feared that the low water In the sounds and Nense river would interfere with her trip.and her cargo wsa "reduced from 640 to 671 tons. The barge's prograss was first inter rupted off Croatan light, thn followed other shoal places In Croatan Sound and In Neuse river. On the return trip north the Donald son will load lumber here, but the same trouble, about taking a full cargo will in terfere with Capt Clark taking what his host Is capable of carrying, and what under regular conditions, that is with the sound and liver channels in naviga ble condition, properlp dredged to depth for boats in the regular trade, which the commerce of this section demand should be kept. (.'apt Clark loses both coming and going in freights, for with fertilisers one dol lar a ton, It can be easily figured what he must lose coming here, and on his re turn trip, he must carry sixty to seventy thousand less feet of lumber, because of the bad channel conditions, and the freight loss for the round trip Is a con siderable Item, besides the loss In time, and the consequent interruptions which are certain to arise In securing tugs to tow, when so many delays are sure to ensue. If this Interrupted and delayed pas sage to the vessels, barges and steam boats Is to become a regular and contin ued thing, it means loss to not only those who run these boats, but a serious loss to the merchants here, and some im mediate action should be taken before vessel men seek other points for their freight. There Is a dredger at workbelow, but at a point which la of no vital Importance when compared to what ought to be done In dredging and keeping open the main river and sound channels between this port and Elizabeth City. It can hardly be doubted but that the government's attention can be called to these low water places and they oan be worked out and navigation to this port csn resume its course without the pres ent serious and costly delays.
