TEXT	The lighterage business in the port of New York is one of great and growing magnitude. Mr. Stearns is the oldest in the business, having had forty years' experience, and his line is a general favorite with sugar mer-cliants and refiners, and he annually transports hundreds of thousands of tons of sugar and molasses. His fleet ic a large one, consisting of fifteen lighters, two being powerful steamers, and a third a steam barge. They are well known in the harbor, the "Boar," "Or" and "Hope" being constantly in requisition, and having been constructed specially for the trade, they have given unqualified satisfaction to all concerned. Captain Stearns has thus manifested creditable energy and enterprise in his successful efforts to afford adequate and prompt transportation facilities to his numerous customers, and has given evidence of vast practical experience in the important branch of trade with which he has been for so many years identified. He is spoken of in the highest terms throughout the mercantile community, as a gentleman of unsullied integrity and great energy, whose aim to have the best equipped fleet of lighters in this harbor is duly appreciated by the commercial community, and for which Mr. Stearns merits the warm esteem generally entertained for him.
