THE SIX OCEAN GRRYHoUNDs.

Under Like Conditions They Would Cross
tho Atlantic in the Same Time.
New York World.I
1t is generally conceded that there are
six ships which are about equal in point of
speed. These are the Majestic and Teu-
tonic, of the White Star Line; the City of
Paris and the City of New York, of the
Inman Line; the Fuerst Bismarck, of the
Hamburg American Line, and La Touraine,
of the French Line.
As between these vessels fast voyage is
a matter of conditionss outside of the ship.
1t has been said, and it is very likely true,
that Under the same condition these vessels
would travel at the same rate of speed.
People are likely to lose sight of the per-
formances of the ships of the Hamburg and
the French Lines, because the greatest in
terest centers in the time from Queenstown
to New York, and neither of those two lines
touches at Queenstown. AS a matter of fact
the City of New York has made record
that has not been equaled, in that she made
over 800 miles for four days. The City of
Paris over 800 miles for three successive
days. The Majestic made over 800 miles on
one day only. Had the City of Paris had
the most favorable conditions on her famous
voyage there is little doubt but that she
would have made the journey in much
faster time.

Local stock traders did not have their war

little to show for it. Total sales were Is

The feature of the day was O sharp ad-
vance in Wheeling Gas. Opening at %, it
advanced to y at the second call and to 1881
at the third. The close was strong at this
figure. The bulge was based on another big
oil well at Mcdonald and the good condition
of the company generally. Many think the
stock will go still higher.
CHARTERS Gas was refused att From the
last showing of the company it is hard to ac-
count for the disfavor into which it has
fallen.
Philadelphia Gas was steady, with con-
siderable number of orders untitled. 1t is
said its earnings the coming fall and winter
will be greater than for two or three years.
Arrangements have been made to meet any
reasonable demand for gas.
Luster was clipped a fraction. An insider
said yesterday report of operations at the
mine would be made the early part of next
month.
Electric, responding to movement in
New York, was bid up to llk without sales.

Ex-senator ingalls,, while abroad, will
visit Palestine and thoroughly explore the
theater of the great movement and tragedy
which inaugurated the Christian era. He
will spend several months there, and it is
not improbable that the public may profit
by his visit in the way of book. The
volume, if written, will not be merely a
record of travel, relieved by picturesque
descriptions of the country as it appears to-
day, but will be of a. more ambitious and
important nature and deal with the great
spiritual questions suggested by the pro-
toundly interesting environment.
Mr. Ingalls, has always exhibited a fond
ness for speculation of that character. He
is an agnostic, but at the same time a close
student of the Bible and an ardent lover of
the poetry and philosophy that pervade
manv of the sacred books. In his famous

Money was moderately active yesterday,
the demand being from mercantile sources,
with good supply and rates steady on the
basis of per cent for call loans an for
time. No one spoken to had any expecta-
tion of anything approaching a squeeze in
this market. Currency was scarce. In
creased pay rolls account for it. Bank clear
ings were $2,0l9,473 OF and balances, 1857,

The Wall Street Ne,cs says: Indications
are that the demand for money in New York
will not be as great rs has been anticipated.
The West is keeping bigger reserves of it's
own, and the money poured ont by the
Treasury last autumn is still in circulation.
Stringency at New York has been caused in
recent years by the locking OF huge sums in
the Treasury and this will not occur this
year.

A REVIVAL OF CONFIDENCE
MARKS THE DAYS TRANSACTIONS IN
STOCKS AND BONDS.

Time Money Easier-The Near Future With
out n DiscernibIe Cloud-Grangers by
Far the Most Prominent, But Industrials
Also Active-A Bond Revival
NEW YORK, August 20.-The stock market
to-day again gave evidence of the revival Of
confidence among all classes of operators
and the course of prices during the day was
most discouraging to those who are looking
for material reaction in stocks. London
was again q heavy seller and bear manipu-
lation was not wanting to make n serious
depression but the volume Of buying for the
outside account was such that not only were
the free offerings absorbed, but marked ad-
vances in many cases were seen.
Another evidence of a general increase in
confidence in higher prices in the market.
was the easier tendency in time money, with
a relaxation of the late severe scrutiny of
collaterals, while the long expected revival
of interest and business in the bond market
is one of the most influential factors In the
situation. The Union Pacific matter is out
of the way, at least for the present, and the
market has no cloud upon it; and hile it
still lacks breadth the number of stocks
traded in from day to day shows a most en-
couraging increase
The Grangers as usual of late, absorbed
most of tho attention of operators, and while
ST. Paul and Atchison were most largely
traded in. Burlington and Rock Island dis
played the most pronounced strength. Out
side of Union Pacific the Gould stocks were
given moro attention, and the Industrials
again became prominent both for activity
and strength. Sugar, Cotton Oil and Cord
age all scored handsome gains. Sugar was
specially strong, while new life was given
Cordnge and it spurted up ~ per cent to o..
The market finally closed fairly active and
still rather heavy at but slight changes for
the day in most cases.
Railroad bonds showed a falling off in
activity, the transactions footing up 81, ,56l,-
900, but the strength shown was more steady
than that in shares, and the final changes
this evening show many marked gains.
