MONEY AND BUSINESS.

The weakness in stocks does not mean that
business conditions are less satisfactory. There
can hardly be a Spectator above the cheaper
grade who has not detected that the weak spot
in the market is public distrust Of the vast body
OF Industrial stocks. which are we'll known TO
represent in many instances nominal values
three TO Ave times the actual values Of plants
consolidated. The everyday discussion OF fur
ther such issues expected tends to increase the
public feeling that stocks OF such magnitude are
often issued not TO hold. but to sell. Mr. Gates.
for instance has seriously talked OF one iron
concern with a capital Of 81, 0O0, 900 900, not en-
bracng works west OF the Mississippi south OF
the Ohio or east OF the Aeghenies. and vet in
1890 all the iron works In the country had a
capitalization of $414. 100000 and turned ont
5000 900 tons. against 100000 last year for
the whole country. and much less last year
from the works within the territory described
OF which only part can be united. The GER
tainty that other stocks will be for the time
affected whenever excessive capitalizatio,
brings trouble to industras is now and will
probably continue more potent than all other in
iuences to hinder an advance in prices.
Last week railroad stocks averaged a decIin.

1.-THE MEN BEHIND THE GUNS"

The latest European critics of the American
NAVY look askant at the limited room TOT men
quarters on our ships. and at the consequently
small number of men employed upon them'
The facts are indisputable. as reference 10 the
record shows. What deduction Is to be mace
therefrom is, as Mr.. Kipling would say an
other story.
Our big cruiser Brooklyn, OF 9,2l5 TONS LOT
examnle has only 522 men. The British
Achilles Of $500 tons has 707, and the war
sn,te Of only s.4OO tons, has $685. The French
Dunetit Tbouars. of 9.517 tons, has 6lZ ana
the little Duplex. Of only 100 tons, has DBL
Tho German Navy is still more heavily manned,
tho crniser Kaiser. Of only 1851 TONS having
no fewer than 66S men.
The same contrast exists In the case OF battle
ships. Our Oregon. of 10,2SS tons, has 4I3
men. The British Arson. BarHeur and Cen
turion. Of from 10000 to 10000 tons each, have
respectively 515. coo and 622 men. The French
ships of the Magenta class. Of 10,S50 tons EACH
have each GEO men. And the German brahuen-
bure Of 1O1OO tons, has 552 men. To 60 to a
larger type, our Iowa. OF 114lO tons, mas ooo
men. The British Nile. Of 11,94O TONS mas Dos
The French Amiral Duperre and Brennus' each
n little smaller than the Iowa, have respectively
66i and 69s men. And the German Kaiser VIII
helm II, Of 11,13O tons. has 600 men
We have not heard that the effectiveness OF
our Navy is seriously impaired by the fewness
of its men, The oregon managed to get along
very we'll on her unequalled voyage and IN the
fight at Santiago with smaller complement
than European ships of her size have. she
had q fewer men than the Nizcaya or the
