Experiencing strong adverse winds during greater part of February. Capt. Gibb, who has now made 9 consecutive voyages in the guano trade, reports that he left about 30 vessels loading, considerably fewer than usual. We understand that last year in the County of Aberdeen alone there was used upwards of one twentieth of all guano imported to this country.
