the past SIX months there has been much dis
cilsslon among those specially interested as
TO The safety of the immense vessels now in
common use It seems to be agreed among
merchants, underwriters and ship builders
that the great length of these vessels does not
add to their strength or safety, the sole points
Kept In view being increase Of freight and
passenger room and high speed, The prac-
lice Of taking q steamer, cutting il In two.
and lengthening it by piecing 1t out in the
middle is considered extremely dangerous.
There Is said to be an inquiry among nautical
men as TO whether the disasters referred to
will not cause reaction In favor Of steam
ships of an entirely different model from any
now built.

The collectorship of the port of Sitka,
Alaska, is not political prize, though the
salary Is S250O, and the man who essayed to
fill it, but was rejected by the Senate just as
he reached his slab-board custom-house, is
now In terrible straits. He exhausted all his
resources In transporting his family to the
inhospitable shores of our northern posses
sion, and had no sooner arrived there than he
received the knowledge of the fact that he
wasn't wanted. He had no money and no
friends, and no way either to give his family
bread or bring them back, and for time they
were all in sore need At length, by the kind
ness of o foreigner who had known some of
the collectors family abroad, he was enabled
to borrow sufficient sum to return to San
Francisco and finally succeeded in reaching
Washington, where nothing can be done for
his relief.

A fresh illustration Of the manner ir which
American claimants to delusive English
t.sss.4es,ertlnn allnw themselves to be bam-
bo0zled by agents who want their expenses
paid to England and back is given in the
gathering Of the jennings heirs at Phlladel-
phia. In magnificent phrase the property Is
rated at $3.50, 900, 900 in the Bank of England,
besides valuable estates in different parts Of
the country; but although many agents have
been sent, the American heirs have gained
nothing and spent much. No wiser By ex-
perlence, however, another traveller is TO be
sent over, who demands S16tO down and a

The New York Produce Exchange Weekly
has crop advices which are unfavorable for
France, but favorable In the main for the re-
mainder of Europe. In the southern, south
western and western provinces of France,
where the harvest is already well under pro-
gress, definite damages have resulted from
rust, lodging, etc. Ia the eastern and north
ern provinces, there have been untoward de-
velopments of the same nature, but as the
harvest will be later, there may be no final
less. It may be remarked that the Northern
and Southern grain belts of the United States
have had like experience Russia, Germany
Austria and Spain have a fair average pros
pect. So has England; but the realization of
the prospect depends uft5f4 future weather
conditions, TO even a greater extent, perhaps,
than In this country. Algeria reports fair
crop and Morocco a failure. On the whole,
there Is no reliable indication at present that
the wheat crop of the world will be excessive
" large, though it will probably be ample.
The New York Public writes as follows

statement on the assumption that the favor
able trade balance In the fiscal year will be
found to amount to S253, 100000. This balance
is made up OF all exchanges both of mer-
chandise and specie.
The Louisville Courier-J ournal, in comment
ing upon the above statement, makes the fol-
lowing remarks:
The Public is inexcusably unmindful of a
number OF heavy offsets against this balance.
First, we must deduct interest on national,
State, city and corporate securities held in
Europe, which will probably not fall short OF
$4,000, 600. Next we must deduct the cost of
Transportation of three-fourths the incoming
and outgoing freight in foreign vessels an
offset of, say, S3O000,000. Next we must de-
duct the excess of outlay in living expenses
and purchases of American citizens abroad,
above the specie brought TO this country by
immigrants and travellers, say, $40 600.
Next the struggled and undervalued goods,
which might easily amount in value to $685.

there are other items Of debit, among which
Is IA be included a greater or less Investment
IN foreign securities and other property by
American citizens and alien residents. Final
