wALL-sTRKET ECHOES.

In the steel rail market there is nothing
particularly new. No transactions OF i'm
portance have been reported. and quoted
prices are unchanged, but an intimation from
reliable source shows that unless business
pick mp speedily concessions are likely 10 be
accepted by some Of the Eastern mills The
trouble with the market is that new Western
ventures, in the shape of railroad construc-
ZION. have either been delayed or altogether
broken up by the refusal Of the investors 10
subscribe for the bonds Of the same. The
rolling mills seem generally to have adopted
y conservative policy and are taking very
Jew chances on wildcat enterprises.

Electrical Power for Ocean Steamers.

An exchange suggests the use of electricity
as q motive power Tor propelllng ocean
steamers THIS idea is by no means as
chimerical as might be imagined. The
marvellous advances that have been made IN
the electrical world in the last decade furnish
abundant reason for believing that the uses
to which this subtle force may be and will be
applied have only begun to be Discovered.
1t would be nothing unexpected should a
method be discovered for utilizing it as Il
power in ocean navigation. The great diff
fculty in modern war cruisers Is the inability
to secure sufficient coal capacity together
with the lines of model essential 10 the
highest speed The Charleston has Just
furnished the country with a striking illus;ra-
ton of this. She burns 175 tons of coal per
day when running at full speed. and her
storage capacity is only 800 tons. As = result
she could only run little over four days in
her chase OF the Itata without securing n
fresh supply of fuel. OF course nava
authorities fully realize the disadvantages Of
this condition Of things, but 1t Is hard TO zee
how it can be avoided unless, as has been
suggested, a way be found to make use f
electricity as the propelling power.-Kennebec
Journal.
