The New York World of Sunday says
This horrible business at Bremerhaven
grows worse and worse as new details
reach us. 1t is now stated that at least
one Internal machine similar to that
which exploded as it was going on board
the Mosel was found on board the Sal
.er, which took the place of the dam
aged vessel and is now on the way to
New York, and a frightful intimation
IS thrown out that other machines are
believed in Bremen to have been put on
board the Same ship. We cannot be-
lieve that such a story could have been
cabled across the Atlantic without some
serious foundation, for its inevitable re-
suit will be to agonize many hearts dur
ing the interval which must necessarily
elapSe before the Salier can reach this
port. OF course the agents Of the North
German line in this city will do their
best to discredit it, and it is their duty
so to do. But they owe it to common
humanity as well es to the interests
which they represent, to obtain the full.
est possible and most authentic informa.
tion from Bremen as to the grounds fol
cabling such story, and to give this in.
formation the widest possible publicity
no matter what its import may be. As
the case now stands, it threatens tC
bring about something very like a revo
luton in the business of transportin.
freight and passengers between the two
continents, and gravely to affect tn,
principles and practice of marine insur
nee.

PRospBcrs Ba1GHrENIsG.-J as the

PRosPBcrs BRIGHTENING.-Just as the
people get out of debt and begin te ac-
quire property, again will their credit
and business capacity be elevated. 1t
is better to get to this position than to
be struggling ard going deeper and
deeper at every effort 1t is hard
thing doubtless to meet misfortune.
But it is often one of the inevitable
consequences of trade. Our people have
witnessed this to an astounding extent
during the past two or three disastrous
years.
But better prospects now begins TO
appear in the very near future. and we
think there is evidence now sufficient to
predict for largely increased business
IN the spring. This will, however, be
more clearly developed after the New
Xear has been ushered In. Undoubtedly
there has been great clearing up Of
old debts, and in fact the chief business
Of the country for the last two years has
been the examination of securities. and
the revision Of personal liabilities. Those
who have lost and those who had to go
under will all breathe freer now that
process has been gone throul h. Traders
will know better whom to credit, and
the bankers having plenty Of greenbacks
on hand will be more ready to loan after
the wedding process has been passed.
There will be no upward tendency in
prices, but property will begin TO sell
for what it Is worth and this will be
arrived at by computation as to what
revenue it will net or what it will cost to
build. When we get down to the point
at which new property will net six per
cent. on it's cost, very large amount Of
money is ready for investment, and
plenty Of work will be found for build
crs and those they employ.
The government securities have nearly
all been passed to European bankers
and our people deem them too high to
invest in. Hence they will want to put
their January dividends in real estate
They will put this in new property if il
can be built cheaper than old property
can be bought.
