TRADING In WALL STREET
Local Street Railway Shares Make
Striking Advances.
General Tendency. of the Market Eo-
ward Recovery From the Clos

New York, Jan. 17-The shares of
the local street railways were again
the features Of the stock market to-
day, striking advances taking place in
all of them. IJ
In the general market the tendency
was toward recovery from the depres-
sion of Friday and Saturday. The SUI
preme Court did not render it's decision
in the Nebraska maxinihm rate case,
which, in the CIRCUMSTANCES, was re-
garded as favorables and the absence
of further disturbances in Havana was
also helpful influence. Northern Pa
cific, Union Pacific and New York Cen
trail were also strong features.
Oregon Railway and Navigation ad-
vanced sharply, andIin the bond divis-
ion of the market Wisconsin Central
issues were conspicuous for their
strength and activity. In all, these in
stances We're assumptions of similar
tendencies in last weeks market.
Sugar Refining, which was active,
was steady. The other industrial stocks
We're neglected. The dealings in this
market for foreign account were ON q
small scale only.
Trading was on a fair scale of activi-
ty throughout the day. AT the close

WANTS RAPID FIRE GUNS.
Secretary Roosevelt's Suggestions
for Improving the Navy.

| secretary RoOsevelt's Suggestions
for Improving the Navy.
Mr.. Roosevelt, A ssistant Secretary of the
! Navy, Is pushing the matter Of the modern
| izing OF the batteries, which win include es-
! pecially the changing of about one hundred
| 6-inch guns into rapid-fire guns. In a
! recent talk with the President lie is re-
| ported as saying that there should be q
better supply of ammunition for the navy
as reserve store. About $500 900 would
meet this emergency, which has been recon-
mended by the Secretary of the Navy. 1t
is estimated that the present supply of g.
inch guns could be converted into rapid fire
guns In four or five months.
Mr. Roosevelt, commenting on the present
equipment, has the following interest ing
things to say:
II earnestly wish we could as soon as
possible withdraw from active service the
cruisers fitted with slow-firfng guns and
substitute ships with rapid-fire batteries
AT present the real fighting efficiency of
ships like the Raleigh, Cincinnati Marble
mead, Montgomery, and Olympia compared
with foreign vessels of the same nominal
class stands high, While the reverse is the
case OF safps like the Baltimore, San Fran
cisco and Yorktown.

cse cruiser Naniw a at Ha wau. In event of a
fight the Naniwa's possibility OF efficiency
probably would have been twice as rreat
The Phiadelphia's twelve sfx-inch guns
were OF the old-fashioned, sIow..ire tvne
SIX in broadside. Against these six the
Naniwa would have pitted two ten-inch
pivot guns and three of her six rapId fire
siX-inch guns. From three guns alone her
skilled crews could get more than double
the volume OF fire than would have bean
possible to obtain from the six guns of the
Philadelphia, while we would have moth
ing to oppose the Naniwa's ten-inch guns.
The place of the Philadelphia was taken
by the Baltimore. The latter would have
put two eight-inch guns, old-fashioued slow
type against two ten-iuch guns of the
NanlWa, and put in broadside three slow
IRE guns OF smaller caliber, on the Japan-
ese snip. If hostiities had occurred and
we had lost ship like either of these in |
q single fight with another ship of the same
nominal force we could never erase ;ts |

RIVERS AND HARBoRs.
Strong Influent es at Work Against
Approximations.

Speaker Reed and his most influential
lieuten8nts in the House have determined
that there will be no river and harbor bill
IL they can prevent, il, and they think
they can. This view is shared not only
by Mr. Reed, but by Chairman Cannon, OF
the House Committee ON Appropriations;
Chairman Allison, of the Senate Commit
tee on Appropriations and Chairman Ding
ley, of the Ways and Means Committee.
Such an influence would b, decisive against
any measure short of river and ha rbor
bill That, however, has a strength Ie-
culiarly its own, arising out of the com
bination Of localities and OF vast interests
enlisted i'll its favor. These interests are
already active, and the Congressman who
represent them say that when the time
comes they will be able to down their
opponents.
'.he river and harbor estimates this year
are S4S,72S, ,l60, OF this amount 81 ,0U0,-
600 must be appropriated anyway, it is
part OF the amount due on continuing
contracts IL will go into the sundry
civil appropriation bill, and viii be lost
sight OF as river and harbor item, al
though distinctly for that purpose. The
river and harbor bill proper will deal with
the balance of this estimate, namely, SAL
o3o,1o3. An attempt will doubtless be
made To scale this down, but it car ha rdIy
he cut below $l5,000,O 200, which would
mean 80 per cent reduction below the
engineers estimates. This is the outlook
that Mr.. Reed and Mr. Dingley do not
like, for all their energies are bent on
reducing expenses below income and thus
stopping the deficiency. If Mr.. Hooker
keeps his promise he will get the bill
down 10 $4,000 900, entailing n Go per
cent cut estimates. But even in this
form IL will not pass, if Mr.. Reed and his
lieutenants can stop it.

VI thS
Chicago, Jan. 1I.-Wheat to-day was
dull, advancing 1a6ss, closing about at

foreign markets and continued advices
on small movement from first hands
in the Northwest. Seaboard clearances
were $4,000 bushels.
1t looks as if the worlds visible to-
morrow would show a decrease of
about 2,000.000 bushels; for the CORE
spending week a year ago the decrease
was double that amount. There was
some little increase in the cash de-
mand for milling use. but the inquiry
is still small. Export sales at the sea-
board were small Primary receipts
were $4,000 bushels. about double what
they were year ago.
