MARKET QUOTATIONS.
REPORTS FROM ALL GREAT BUsI-
NESS CENTRES OF THE WORLD.

and Domestic.

NEW YORK, February T,-There was
a falling off in the trading at the Stock
Exchange to-day. The sales aggregated
154,1Os shares against $4,000 shares yes
terday Irregularity was the chief cha
racteristic Of the speculation at the open
ing, but subsequently the market showed
a tendency to improve, the result OF
sharp rise in Tobacco. This stock jumped
1-2 per cent, to Y 1-2, and the advance
was credited to manipulation. Sugar was
erratic, and closed 5-S per cent. lower or
the day.
The reports Of fresh competition and
realizations by small pool account for
the decline. In the railway list Northern
| Pacific and the Changers were firm, while
| Hooking Valley and the Anthracites ruled
weaker The first mentioned were bought
| by foreign houses. about 5000 shares be-
ing taken. Hooking Valley fell IL per
cent on the revival of the receivership
reports. 1t was stated that the company
| had not provided az yet for interest due
/ March 1st. Nothing official, however,
could be obtained on this score. The
| losses In the anthracite group were far
| less important and excited little interest.
Among the Gould stocks, Missouri Pa
clfic fell to 10 81. Manhattan was fever
ish. ranging between S. 1-2qS7 "a. The
belief still prevails in certain circles that
the directors contemplate a reduction in
the dividend rate. This is being used
by the bears with some effect against the
stock. In the last hour speculation show
ed firmness on covering Of short con-
tracts but in the final transactions lead
ing bear operators again sold, and the
market, in consequence, left of steady
to firm.
There was little news to affect specua-
ton. although believers in high prices
attempted at one time to use the re-
ported improvements in the iron and steel
trade to bid up the market for stocks.
The falling off in the earnings Of the
st. Paul road for the second week or
February had no influence, and less at
tention was paid TO the proceedings OF
The I,exow Investigating Committee. The
Usually active stocks show but slight
changes either way. Tobacco gained 3-S
,er cent. while Western Union and Mis-
souri Pacific lost S-4G1 3-S per cent.

THE MODERN RATLIYE.

Made. on Deep-Nator Vessels. Not OF Ratliuo
stuG. but or Oak and OF Gas Pipe.
When the American sailor on q deep-watcr
ship goes aloft nowadays he runs up the rat
lines just as no always did; but the ratline now
used on large vessels is something very differ
emit from the ratline once commonly used. and
still used generally on smaller vessels.
The old-time ~ratiines familiar in all pictures Of
ships were made of ratline stuff, which is Of
hemp and about half an inch in diameter The
shrouds of a vessel, running from tho sides of
the ship to the mastheads, converge toward tho
tops, 80 that the ratlines are cut Of graduated
lengths. In securing a rope ratline to the
shrouds two half bitches were taken around
each inner shroud and the ends, which had been
turned and spliced in, forming an eye, were
coed the shipshapc appearance of well set up
rigging, with tho ratlines across taut as bow
strings; but, as q matter of fact, they soon be-
gan to sag; and anybody interested in ships will
recall vessels he has seen whose ratlincs fairly
hung In loops. they werc so old and slack. II
required constant care and considerable labor to
keep them up in shape.
About twenty years ago on an American ship
honored ratlines Of ratline stuff, and in the
course Of the next ten years rigid ratlines came
sells, as they still remain. Ratlines are now
made OF sections OF gas pipe as well as of oak.
IN diameter;, the gas-pipe ~ratline is smaller
The rigid ratlines are secured to the shrouds by
lashinRs.
In the old style the ~ratlines ran clear acres

ladders as there were spaces between the shroudG
The modern tendency is toward fewer ladders.

thus forming a single ladder on each side of each
lower mast. This is held to be sufficient. for
two men can mount to the top at the same time,
one on each side. On an American bark now at
South street the rigid ratlines extend to three
shrouds, thus making two ladders. On a big

line stuff. Rigid ratlines are used also nova
days on steamers.
These modern ratlines are perfectly spaced
as indeed the old-time ratlines always were
and with their perfect straightness they present
a somewhat prim appearance. They lack, per-
haps, the picturesqueness of the Old-time rat
lines, but they look businesslike and they are
vastly more convenient and useful.

CREWS FOR OUR WARsHIPs.
The Pacific Training stations-Good Results o.
Experiments with Lake Sailors.

Experiments with Lake Sailors.
WASHINGTON, Aug. IA controversy exists
between the army and the navy authorities over
a section of land on Angeles Island, in San
Francisco harbor, which the naval men wish for
a training station. smaller than. but on the same
general lines as. that at Newport. Angeles
Island is a Government reservation where tho
army maintains a military post, and on which
the military men propose establishing part of
the fortihcations for the defence of the city.
The navy wants only a small end of the land,
but the army is not willing to let 1t go.
At present the Navy Department maintains
on the Pacific coast a regular training ship for
for the same purpose on this side. and there are
more than 100 boys on ii who will some day be-

soon return to San Francisco for a stay OF sew

tablish the same course on the Pacific as is fol-
lowed at Newport, but on a smaller scale. so
that the apprentices can be instructed OH shore
for six months and then taken to sea for six in
each year. The gradual development Of the sys-

sailors required, and at the same time save the

port. He believes that there is as good material
Tor the navy on the Slope as in the East. and
that with the Increase OF the naval establishment
the Government will require the maintenance
of a station there from which tho vessels of the
Pacific and even the Asiatic station can receive
their crews. The service is experimenting Just
now with the inland or lake sailors, and has for
several weeks been ~enlisting from thirty TO nifty
to be sent cast for duty on the new vessels.
Two officers and a medical man are visiting
the large maritime sections OF the lake region,
and examining the material from which deep

A fine set OF men has already been secured,
and while the quota allowed by law can never

than ever before, and there are more Americans
