THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Jan. 3.--The money mar
ket failed to show az easier tone to-
day and the JANUARY boom in the
price of stocks which some people had
expected to begin Immediately failed
to arrive on the first business dav of
the new year. On the contrary, there
was quite q flush in the monev mar
ket before the day passed, and the call
ing of loans precipit1ted something
very much like a squeeze. The rate
for call money ran up TO six per cent,
and loans were placed at that amount,
though offerings were made later at
2R per cent. There was no actual loan
reported during the day however at
less than %R per cent. 1t is difficult to
say how far the low sales at the close
may have been manipulative. Ger
tainly the stock market all day did not
show evidence of any great plentitude
of funds available for speculation. The
situation in the money market kept the
tone Of stocks heavy and restricted the
trading within narrow limits. Total
sales were 100000 shares.

ers are more likely to panic than north
erners, as they are more liable TO bursts
OF fury and more easily moved to laugh

TO be capable Of controlling themselves,
as they showed in a hundred scenes Of
despair.
The victims Of the Terror, for the most
part, faced a death much worse than
drowning with CHEEKY stolclsm; and
though the herosm OF the crew of La
Vengeur is a myth, French sailors have
gone down often enough as calmly as
any others. Undrilled Italians died in
heaps in the great rising of 1860 with the
courage OF martyrs; and in this very
month the serene fortitude Of the Span-
ism sailors OF the Vizcaya extorted the
loud admiration Of their American con-
querors. il is utterly untrue to say that
the Latin people are cowardly, and,
wherefore, then, did those on board La

cious fear? III they could not fall into

WHAT COMES IN BALLAST.
queer CarGoes TO Steady ships
Across the O.ean.
New York SUM-

Il
A load of African sand or Of South
American trap rock seems like a queer
cargo for a sailing vessel seriously intent
upon making living for its owners to
bring into the port Of New York Yet
many a crack schooner and large brig
engaged in the foreign carrying trade
goes out from this port with valuable
cargoes OF merchandise, and returns,
after many days. with little else than a
load Of sand or rock, which, after being
brought half around the world. IS ,gno-
miniously dumped out at sea lust before
Sandy Hook is sighted, or sold TO some
contractors for fiiling-in purposes for
ridiculously small sums. Naturally, such
Improbable cargoes are not brought here
for their commercial value, but simply
for ballast. When a ship returns home
from distant shores, after Carrying a
large and valuable cargo out, she finds II
possible to pick up only a very light
cargo. and to stiffen the vessel properly
the captain has TO take something for
ballast.
The ballast question has always been a
serious one for sea captains making long
voyages in sailing vessels. Water ballast
is used on the large ocean steamers, SO
they are not compelled TO stop at some
unimportant port before crossing the
ocean to load up with sand and rocks
Many OF the modern sailing craft have
tanks also arranged in their holds so
they can take on ballast direct from the
sea. But all Of the old-time sailing vessels
have not water compartments below the
floors TO stiffen the ship and 10 sink her
properly In the water. Consequently, they
have to depend upon what ballast they
can pick up before making the homeward
trip The solution of this question IN
some cases develops remarkable results
and experiences.
The most popular ballast Is stone or [
rock. Every shipmaster knows the re- |
iative value of certain grades OF rock, |
even in port like New York, and he /
can sell cargo OF stone TO contractors |
n this city which Will more than pay |
him for the cost OF loading and unloading |
Every time sailing vessel returns /
rom distant port she Is probably visit
d by half dozen contractors, who
make bid for her stone cargo. il she

THEIR WANTS ANTICIPATED
have made every effort to anticipate |
the wants Of our sick and wounded SOL
dlers In Cuba, without waiting for re-
questions; but as We have had commune
cduon by cable, the fault does not rest
with me IL, owing TO the failure on
the part OF the chief surgeon with
General Skaters army TO ask for
necessary supplies, there has been a fail
ure to meet the requirements of the sick
The hospital ship Relief, which arrived
at SiDoney July Sth. had on board medi-
,lnes Tor twenty regiments for six months
calculated upon the basis of the field sun
ply table, and large supplies in addition
II the more important medicines, hospital
stores, dressings, etc. If these supplies
we're inadequate there was ample time 10
INFORM me of the fact before the sailing
II the oiivette July 26th.
