Sensational Stories Affect Speculation in
StOcks-Industry and Trade, However,
Has Not Been Disturbed.
New YORK, March 5.-R. g. Dun 81
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade in its
issue Saturday says:
Stories of the most reckless sort, dis
proved promptly, and many of them
before they are told, affected specula-
ton in stocks much last week and at
times this week but they have not dis
turbed the industries and the trade of
the country at all.
In grain, cotton, meat products and
petroleum markets have been strong,
with gradual increases in the demand
for manufactured products.
Failures in February have been
smaller than in any other month, ex-
cept three of the previous 81 months,
with remarkable decrease in the fail
ures for 500, 900 and over, though in
number and amount the smaller fail
ures show less change than might have
been expected, indicating that In good
times or bad a large proportion is due
to causes apart from the general con-
dition of business.
The best of evidence of general i'm
provement is the fact that payments
through clearing houses for the past
week have been $50 per cent larger
than in 1892, and outside New York,
with its speculative interests, 17.6 per
cent. Compared with last year the
gain has been 56.2 per cent. for the
week, and 40. 8 per cent. for February.
Produ ction of pig iron is the great
est ever known, some furnaces having
started in the past month, but Besse-
mer billets are SO scarce at Chicago
that some works are embarrassed, and
heavy purchases at Pittsburgh, includ-
ing one of 5000 tons, have
stiffened the price SO that Bessemer
pig and local coke at Chicago are
stronger than since November 1, with
grey forge unchanged at Pittsburgh.
Foundry at the east is slightly lower,
basic pig having been offered in
sharp competition at about $40,
though southern makers in Ala
bama and Tennessee, excepting two,
have agreed upon a plan of sales
through a commission. The demand
for finished products covers work far
ahead in plates, structural forms,
sheets, in pipe since the advance in
oil, and in rails, with Chicago sale
for a Canada road to Alaska, but bar is

which have been in progress for some
time, but there has been no official
admission to this effect until now.
Eight men -of-war, which are prac-
tically completed in foreign ship
yards, have been offered for sale in the
United States The president has
given consideration to the advisability
of placing an option on them. The
navy department has been carefully
watching the construction of ships
abroad through the eyes of its
naval attaches of London, Paris,
st. Petersburg, Berlin, Vienna and
Rome. This surveillance has been main
tanned for two months, but more espe-
cially since the Maine disaster.
Through these naval attaches and
from ship builders themselves the Sec
rotary of the navy has learned that he
can now purchase two small-sized
battleships, two armored cruisers and
four torpedo boats, all at a compare
lively low price. The builders have
promised that they can deliver the
ships to agents of this government at
this time, complete in every respect,
and all that will be necessary for the
administration to do will be to order
the necessary details of officers and
men to proceed to the shipyard, go on
board the vessels and take them to any
points which may be desired.
The builders have urged that the
purchases be made at once, as they say
that declaration of war between the
United States and Spain would result
in the enforcement of neutrality laws
and prevent the sale of the ships. The
battleships and armored cruisers
have been built by English and German
firms for governments which are now
unable to pay for them, so that this
government would have no difficulty in
obtaining the vessels by simply put
ting down the necessary amount of
cash. The four torpedo boats have
been offered by the Thornycroft Ship
Building Co., whose boats are recog-
nized by experts to be among the best
in the world.
While your correspondent was unable
to learn the names of the ships which
have been offered to this government.
there is reason to believe that among
| them are three powerful ships
under construction at the Vulcan
works, Stettin, Germany, for the
| Chinese government. These three
ships are of 5000 tons displacement,
contracted to make 49,. ) knots, and will
be able to carry not less than a thousand
tons of coal in their bunkers. There is
also reason to believe that in case OF
trouble this government could pur.
chase from Japan the Kasagi and the
| Chiosa, which are nearing completion
at Philadelphia. and the Union iron
works. The official with whom your
correspondent talked had no doubt
that Japan wonld be willing to aid the
United States by selling the warships
be fore the commencement of war.

Very Rough Passage.
CHARLESTON, S. c., March THE
tug Underwater, towing the Merritt
Wrecking Co. S Derrick Chief, came
into Charleston harbOr Sunday morn
ing after very rough passage off Hat
teras. The tug and her tow were in
the heavy storm of Thursday night,
and while there was not much damage,
the waves tossed them about like
feathers and made the crews very
busy. The gale ragged for "a hours and
the deckload of coal on the Under

NEW YORK, March IA special to

Fully realizing the Importance of

president has directed the navy depart

the purchase abroad of warshi ps. This
fact is now for the first time made pub

excitement caused by the state
ment published that Spain had pur-
chased or was negotiating for war
ships being built by the Elswick COM
pany of England for Brazil and other
ships under construction. With a
view of ascertaining the facts, your
correspondent called upon high Off
cial of the administration and OBJ
tanned an official admissiOn-made
for the first time-that while
the president does not antici-
pate war, he recognizes that there is a
possibility of hostilities growing out
of the Cuban problem and the Maine
disaster and that he proposes to be
prepared for it. There has been ample
evidence of this in the extensive
preparations, patent to everybody,
