The DSS&A ore shipping office has been removed from the old
gramped quarters to more commodious apartments in the old cus-
tom house building. The first apartment is to be given up en-
tirely to the officers of vessels, who can spin their yarns or
otherwise dispose of their time, without crowding for elbow
room. The accommodating shipping clerks occupy the adjoining
room, previously occupied by the deputy inspectors of hulls
and boilers. The new quarters were entered yesterday.
