Recent experiments made in England have
shown that some OF the defects which threat
ened at one time to prevent the use Of steel in
ship building have been overcome, and hence
it seems highly probable that the employ
ment Ut this material will come into active
opposition to iron; and several authorities so
SO far as to predict that in a few years it will
drive iron into the same disuse that iron has
driven wood In naval architecture. The chief
danger hitherto apprehended from the use
of steel for the hulIs of vessels has been
its apparent rapid eorrosion when exposed
to the action of salt water. As steel plates
are made thinner than iron ones this Is a
serious defect, for the hull under the water line
might he worn SO thin that a slight shock
would cause the vessel to leak badly. But 1t
has been discovered that this corrosion Is
caused by the presence on parts Of the steel
plates Of black oxide, produced In rolling
them, and when immersed In salt water gal
vanic action is setup between the covered and
the bare steel. which is as strong and con-
tinuous as that caused by copper and iron
Under such conditions the steel becomes
speedily enfeebled; but it has been demon
strated that il the black oxide which appears
upon the surface OF the plates when they are
brought to the ship-yards is removed by q
wash OF weak acid, all possible risk of a
speedy corrosion is prevented; at least the
plates do not wear away any quicker than
those made Of iron.

The New York Commercial Bulletin says:
On raw sugar the market remains quiet and
somewhat unsettled. The caution Of retiners
Is still to be noted in most movements. and in
a general way the indications are that not
much would have been done at the best. but
the recent order from the Secretary Of the
ton il an additional disturbing element It OF
course affects centrifugals only. and these are
held more firmly, with buyers in most cases
unwilling to increase bids
The following extracts from late London
letter, published in an exchange. show the
poor condition Of agriculture In England, and
the crop outlook:
As far as this country is concerned. there is
certainly no hope OF good crop. or even OF
an average The area of land under wheat
has been reduced. aud the season has been
most adverse. But, unfortunately, the
weather has been generally untavorahle. to
the agricultural interests. All cereals, owing
to the heavy rains look weak ana sieklN'
mer weather to become bright and genial,
though, especially In the case OF wheat q re-
covery can only be partial.
Farming has ceased to be profitable In
| England. The rents are high, and Tor the
| last two or three years, II not for a longer
period, the yield has been small and the
prices low. In fact, farming has not only
not been profitable; 1t has been losing bust
ness According to trustworthy statistics
| the value of the agricultural products Of the
country during the last three years. even on
the best managed farms, where no money
was spared In cultivation, has declined not
less than a5 per cent, while this year, by rea-
son of the very unfayorable weather. the re-
I suit promises to be less satisfactory than
that of any of its predecessors. It is not
wonderful that Id such circumstances farm
ers should be discouraged and begin to look
about them for some relief.
