A General Advance in Prices OF American Sc
curities and Activity in Mining
Investments

LONDON, June 16.-The rumor that
the Bank of England contemplated re-
ducing its rate to ~ per cent probably
originated in the decision of the joint
stock banks to reduce the scale for de-
posits at short notice at from * to 4 per
cent, with consols at nearly 10Y; unless
something happens to relieve the plethora
of the money market, the Bank of Eng
land directors will eventually be forced
to take such steps.
The stock market resumed fair &C.
tivity during the week, speculation in
both English and continental securities
being revived. In African mines the
movements of tn week were mostly up
ward, Spanish securities were heavily
sold on the strength of the Cuban trouble.
In Canadians and Argentines all good
investments were better. Americans
were firm, except those threatened with
assessments. Rumors that the Northern
Pacific would be assessed SIS share
caused the stock to be freely offered.
Following are the advances OF the week {:

port is received the government will not
take action, although as the colonies

EVERYTHING IN GOOD SHAPE
What the Nicaragua Canal
Commission Found
THE SCHEME PLAUSIBLE
A Waterway Can Be Built and Easily
Maintained
Engineers Find That the Teredo Does Some
Damage But Not Enough to Be a
Serious Trouble
THE SCHEME PLAUSIBLE
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
CHICAGO, June 16.-A dispatch to the
Times Herald from Washington, referring
to the work of the commission appointed
to inspect the route and preliminary work
| on the Nicaragua canal, says the engi-
neers reached Greytown, the eastern ter
minus of the canal, on May 18th, and be-
gan an examinat on of the property and
improvements Of the canal company at
that port.
One of the most important of these is
bleakwater 1900 feet long which extends
out in the sea. The construction of this
was begun in December, 1889, with the
result, as predicted by engineers, of in
creasing the depth of water in the bay SO
that the depth on the bar is II feet at
the present time.
Notwithstanding the repeated efforts of
the engineers to prevent the ravages of
the teredo on the timEers of this break
water, the commission finds that the
wood was badly eaten: that portions of
the canal already built extending west
IRON GIeytown toward the San Juna river
were found in splendid condition. The
establishments Oh each side have stood the
effects OF the weather remarkably we'll
and show no serious effects from the ram
fall. The hospitals and other buildings
were found in a good state of preserva-
ton. The railroad which the company
has built along the route of the canal for
the transportation of material and men
has already been thoroughly inspected
and found i'll good condition.
The crnm bling of the earth from the |
cliffs and the washing from the surface |
drainage has not been disastrous as was |
expected, and it is said this objection so |
often argued against the feasibility OF the |
canal has fallen fiat.
While the canal passes through very
wet region, where the precipitation in |
nearly % inches, the effects Of the move
ment of such an enormous quantity of |
water have not been bad and give no in
dication that the sides of the canal will
be washed down in few years, an OBJ
lection that has so often been urged
against the project.
About two weeks ago the canal COM
mission moved on from Greytown to Lake
Nicaragua, and after visiting Granada
md Managua, the capital, passed from
Nicaragua to the ocean along the route of
he canal, a distance of about IA miles.
This section of the route offers no OBJ
tructions to the route whatever and will
'e simply matter of excavation.
