more animation on the spot, especially with
iobbers. The tone of the market i'm
proved, though in some directions it was
still very tame

played a marked decrease in its activity
but was Of marked improvement in tone
over that of yesterday, and while no mate
rial advances were scored in the general
list, the cessation Of the pressure went u
great way to restore confidence among the
smaller class OF spectators, who were IN
clinei TO think reaction Of large proper
tons had begun. The Changers again came
10 the front as the leading group
OF stocks, and the movements among the
specialties were Of less consequence than
OF late although a sharp advance and de
cline in Jersey Central was an exception
The opening was ut Is to q per cent. bet
ter than last nights figures. Prices began
TO advance on good buying. Later there
were marked gains and many OF the lead

EUROPEAN DISARMAMENT

1t is more tlnn probable that the Emperor
OF Germany is sincere in his professions of
uesire Tor general reduction of European
armies. The Emperor doubtless recognizes
Tue extreme improbability of a long con-
Ohuahce OF present conditions. The prin-
cipal European powers are constantly add
Ing 10 their military and naval forces. The
only limit Is the financial ability of the
people to bear the increasing burden. The
last straw breaks the camePs back Int II il
not always possible TO predict which will he
the last straw. A far-seeing ruler would
therefore, look out a course that wouId re.
duce rather than increase the burdens. The
Emperor William. it is said, proposes to sub
nit his scheme for disarmament to Queen
Victoria. The Queens assent to the scheme
is represented as depending upon an
arrangement with the Duke of Cumberland
20 renounce his pretensions TO the throne of
Holland in consideration of the restitution
OIL certain moneys lying in the Prussan
treasury to his credit as King of Hanover
Ii does not seem possible that question of
Sucl vast magnitude as the disarmament of
Europe can be made to hinge upon the COM
penS'Cion that shall be allowed a prince for
giving up his pretensions to a throne.
Ihl"sihe the Queen of Great Britain and the
Emperor OF Germany engaged in a confer
ehce' Tue pretended object of which is the
Inception oil The most important meaeprao
that has agitated Europe since Nann1aa.,

THE OCEAN CARRYING TRADE.

At the first glance one might say that the
ocean carrying trade is a simple industry
that under the law of competition falls TO
the lowest bidder. 1t has been said that
Americans employ foreigners to do their
ocean carrying trade, much on the same
principle of an importing-house which gives
its hauling to a drayman instead of doing
the work Itself But another view pre-
sents itself upon little examination Ship
masters are often agents of exporting
houses, and as such are paid 4 commission
on all orders they bring home. They can
put in a good word for the goods of one
country or another. A British ship-master
would naturally seek to promote the int-r-
ests of the firm from which he received his
principal employment lie would take and
deliver American goods, but could hardly
be expected to recommend them to pur-
chaSers in foreign countries. As foreigners
have set the example of substituting foreign
steamship lines, and thus enabling foreign
ship masters to underbid American ship
masters on freight rates, it is but just to our
shippers that Congress place them on an
equal footing.
