New YORK, Mar. 26.-The stock
market presented lively appearance
at the opening. owing to the liquida-
ton of large holdings, based on the
grave aspect of the Cubar Spanish sitr-
alton. A vigorous downward move
ment developed at the start. The
nervousness of the speculation, owing
to the preponderance Of the Cuban fac
tor, was amply illustrated by the rapid
drop in prices which followed attempts
to dispose OF any large offerings. The
secondary quotations indicated some-
what steadier tone aud the market dis
played considerable feverishness, with
individual Transactions large. The re-.
bound carried the average level of
prices above yesterdays close. An in
cident that excited favorable comment
was the briskness of the purchasing
movement, which, of late, has been
chiefly attended by stagnation.

Active Naval Preparations.


NEW YORK, March 26-Work on the
three dynamite guns at Fort Hancock,
Sandy Hook, is being rushed and it ia
expected that the guns will be ready
for service in week. In case of emer-
gency the guns could he put in shape
for use 10 twenty-four hours. The
guns carry shells of from eight to ff-
tesn inches. From sixty to 500 pounds
of dynamite can be carried in the shot,
according to the size. The shells are
projected by air and have an effective
range of two miles. The dynamite in
even the small shot is sufficient to blow
up the most powerful battleship. The

THOUGH the government is buying
vessels by the dozen, intelligence from
the recruiting stations is to the effect
that enlistments for the navy are by
no means numerous. The federal
army during the war between the
States was composed in large part OF
foreigners. 1t is to be hoped that the
navy, in the war with Spain, will not
have to be composed OF the same sort OF
material. MerceDaries rarely make
good fighting men. But people with
ships must sell them to the govern
nent, though crews cannot be obtain
ed for them.

Continued Gales ON British Coast.

LONDON, March 26.-The severe
gales, accompanied by intense cold,
snow and sleet, are undated all over
England. The weather is especially
severe over the southeast coasts, and it
is worse off the French coast. The
trips of the channel steamers are still
suspended, and telegraphic communica-
ton is seriously delayed. There have
been numerous shipping disasters all
round the English coasts and along the
North Sea to the Baltic. At Dover the
gale was especially severe, the shore
being strewn with wreckage, while at
Lowestoff huge masses of the cliffs were
washed away and the houses on their
tops were endangered. Over one hun
dred fishing smacks are missing. A
dispatch from Copenhagen says that
many vessels have been driven ashore
on the Danish coast.
