Cincinnati Enquirer:
The new Guiding Star left for New Orleans
last night with seventy-five passengers and 600
tons OF freight. Quite a number Of her guests
are registered for the round trip. An unusual
number OF prominent citizens, business men
and steambOatmen were down to wish Capt
Miller good luck" before the departure Of this
elegant steamer Her cabins were crowded
with eXcursionists and friends. and when the
chandeliers were lighted the effect was almost
magical. giving her magnificent cabins an
almost fairy-like appearance. That the new
Guiding Star may be as successful as the most
sanguine antiepations Of her builder could
wish. is the wish Of every friend OF Capt. ". B.
Miller
The John D. scuy arrived from Pittsburg
yesterday en- route to New Orleans. She lays
over here until Thursday to make additions 10
her cargo. She received 200 tons yesterday in
Guiding 400 barrels Of whisky.

day. His new boat will be ready for business

The discredit In which of late years foreign
loans have been held in England had tile
effect Of making investors place their. capitll
in bank, gas, water, insurance and railway
stocks. Foreign investments were Thrown
overheard and homo securities were ptfr-
chased. The consequence was that con.peti-
ton ran up tho prices Of all such English
home securities reaction was sure 70
come, and seems to be setting in to-day in
England with some severity. The disaster of
the City of Glasgow Bank, with its unlimited
liability clause, has caused heavy decline in
all bank shares. AS 1t is possible tha: tie
British public may again return to forei,s On in

Confederate States, Uruguay, Greece, Bolivia,
Ecuador San Domingo, Guatemala, .Psyais

amount to e175,000,000, or 80 per cent. Spain
owes 100000. 900. That country has so lost
credit that the chances of paying heS loan
are on about par with Turkey. The s,gyp-
tian loan is in better repute just now. and:it
is believed that the Khedive will keep his en-
gagements. The loans, then, in entire OK par

A French statistician has furnished an es-
innate of the worlds iron product to the
Paris Exposition, which shows that In 1876
the whole amount footed up 1921, $50 276
pounds, or 15,7s5,730 tons of 1000 pounds.
The coal mined is about twenty times the
weight of the pig iron produced. The;ratio
OF production in the leading iron producing
countries Is nearly as follows: Great Bgitasn
46%, United States II, Germany 81, Fsanco
10 Is, Belgium 3 2-5, Russia 8, Austro- Hun
,Gary2 rs, Sweden 81. The iron prod,ict Of
the United States for 1876 Is, $50, 7g9, 7!7
pounds, or about 125 pounds for every i.haii-
liant. The estimate tp the authorities III
Paris heretofore cited gives the total |, ,dutt
of all countries OF Bessemer steel for 1896 1t
4,646,873,336 pounds, or 2,323,436 tons, of
which one-fourth was made in the United
States, a little over one-third in Great Brit
ain, not quite one-ifth in Germany antE ono
tenth in France. The total steel maae in
1876 would lay % 1l6 miles of railway track,
allowing twenty pounds to the foot of rail

add the specie, New Yorks portion Of th., for
