Our Coast Defense.

1t is understood that the United States
Government intends requiring all suitable
steamships belonging to the commercial ma
rine of this country to be placed on the Navy
Register in order that should the United
States become involved with any foreign
power the steamers may be utilized as war
cruisers.
A representative of the New York Herald
interviewed Mr.. Charles W. Cramp, the
head of the shipbuilding firm of William
Cramps Sons, of Philadelphia, and Mr.. H.
Taylor Cause, of the Harlan & Holings-
worth Co., of this city.
1--WE have great hopes of valuable results
from the inquiries of the Bureau of Naval
Intelligence" said Mr.. II. T. Cause the vice
president of the Harlan & Hollngsworth
Company, of Wilmington, Del. Friday
"a list of large vessels that would be avail
able to the government has been prepared,
The report of tie Board, now in session
at New York, will surprise a great
many people. The institution of this new
service under the Treasury Department will
be one of the wisest acts of the present ad-
ministration."
"How many such vessels could be got to-
gether ~ was asked.
"Of all classes, probably forty-iive or
fifty. These would not be all up to standard
first or second class cruisers, but they would
be better than none. That's our only choice
to-day. As nation we are in lamentable
and humiIiating position. The new cruisers
will be start in the right direction"
Undoubtedly large number of the forty
five or fifty steamships would be found as
having been built in Wilmington ship yards.
The purpose of this intention of our gov
ernment is to establish a species OF marine
reserve. The great advantage of the idea
may be apprehended when we remember
what England accomplishes in this direction.
In the recent Anglo-Egyptan war almost
all the best ships of the English trans allan.
tic lines were impressed into the Naval serv.
ice serving either as troopships or metamor.
phosed into cruisers. Those familiar liners
Oregon, Arizona, Umbria, Persian, Monarch
Egypt &C., were all taken from the Liver
pool and New York passenger business and
sent up the Mediterranean to Alexandria o.
Suez freighted with soldiers. Some of them
were armed with cannon for offensive Dur.

Tne following list Of the mercantile ma.
rine taken over by the English government
as armed c u iers, gunboats and tugs will be
perused with interest at the present moment.
The total number chartered according to the
following list, which was published at the
time of the bombarding Of Alexandria it i'll
be seen is 1876, with a registered tonnage of
close on 300, 900 tons, and a carrying capaci-
ty of more than 400, 900 tons. tits eitimated
that the amount paid by the government fot
the hire of these steamers is at least 81. 900.

Signs OF the Zodiac

The most interesting and original in
production TO book that we have ever
seen, comes to us in little work Just
received, in the shape of humorous
article entitled ''The Twelve Signs of
the Zodiac" illustrated by Thomas
Worth, the we'll known New York ar
fist. The old and familiar signs with
which we are well acquainted through
almanacs and otherwise, are given a
new and every day meaning, and we
defy any one to look at them or to read
the text without INDUCING in a hearty
laugh. "Bill Nye's" thrilling exper-
fence with a cyclone is also wittily
treated by that humorist, ana ''Waae
Whipple," m Quad" aud others Of
those writers OF to-day, who ''shoet
folly as it flies" are amongst the con-
tributors, while artists such as Oeper,
Cox and Coffin, have furnished apt il
Illustrations. The book, which is the So.
Jacobs oil Family Calendar and Book of
Health and Hatm0r for the Million of 1885
is published by The Charles A, Vogeer
Company, Of Baltimore, Md b., and it is
only another proof OF the well-earned
reputation of the remedies manufactur.
ed by that house, that such literary
lights should be ready to assist in
spreading the story of the wonderful
cures wrought by st. Jacobs Oil. An
other speciality now being manufactur-
ed by this house, Red Star Cough Cure
which costs only twenty cents, is
shown by analysis to he free from OPT
ates and is of remarkable efficacy. A
whole regiment of carriers is now dis
tributing the book in large cities, while
in towns and villages it can be had
through druggists, and if it cannot be
obtained in any Of these ways copy
will, on receipt of a stamp, be forward
ed To any address bV the puhliahers

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

There were signs of revival of speculative
activity last week in nearly all the markets.
To those who think better prices" constitute
prosperity, there came small rise in stocks,
an advance in wheat, rise in cotton, higher
prices in pork and something like a corner in
lard. higher prices for coffee and also for sugar,
and an improv enent IN the iron trade. A rise
in corn was followed by reaction after the
end of the month, and there were lower prices
most of the week for oil, with reports Of
further weakness in coal, but the prevailing
tendency in the markets was to speculate for a
rise. large expansion OF loans by the banks
naturally appeared, whether as cause or result
must be Judged from the character of the move
ment in different markets.
The only explanation given Of the wheat
movement is that a pool had been formed to
squeeze shorts who had sold other peoples
property too freely. In lard it was boasted that
there was virtually corner i'll the earlier
months, and in stocks the evidences of manipu-
lation to advance prices were obvious. though
men differ as to the names of the manipulators.
Nobody supposes that the condition OF railroad
properties has changed for the better; the war
of rates continues the shipments from Chicago
last week were exceedingly small. and an
analysis of trunk line eaInings shows that tie
plomise Of two or three months ago VAS not
sustained by the traffic. But somebody was
buyIng, and an advance of 5l2 in Western
Unon 4Io IN Norfolk Preferred, 3 in Erie
seconds and III Erie common, helped TO cover
sales or declines IN other stocks, SO that the
average for sixty securities rose IA cents per
share. Large disbursements Tor interest and
dividends brought into the narke; some be-
lated buyers for Investment, and the men gho
had advanced prices in preparation for such a
demand did not refuse to supply 1t. The
sudden rise III Western Union OH Friday and
Saturday was attended with the usual Iumors
and the usual denias, but the prevailing opinion
in the Street at the close was that the imn.edi-
ate future would depend upon developments in
that stock. If il turns out that the boom in
prices is only the orchestral prelude to IA re-
duction in rates, there will be some sadder aud
wiser men in Wall Street.
The money market was the centre of intor-
est, especially for those no had loans TO renew.
For the unusual expansion of $l,G57,2 200 in
loans did not prevent Pressure. and rates ad-
vanced to per cent on Tuesday and Wednes-
