Capt +. NJ. Howes of the Merchants and
Miners Transportation Company of Balu-
more has addressed letter to the super
wishing Inspector general of steam vessels
on the subject of the electric wink" as
a signal tor the use of steamships meeting
at sea. Capt. Howes laid stress upon the
fact that the whistle signal is insufficient,
often causing confusion, and moreover can
frequently be heard but a short distance.
His plan Is 10 have steamships provided
with electric masthead lights. and he ex-
on and off it would be possible to wink"
a signal to an approaching steamship or
intention in clear weather to pass to star
board or by two winks to indicate inten-
ton to pass to port. He has used wink"
signals on his ship for two years past in
meeting other ships of the Merchants and
Miners line, and is positive that there
would be ample time for the exchange of
signals before any danger of collision
would exist.

RICE MARkET.

There has been a good demand for rice
since the new year opened. with a hard
ening tendency. The better grades and
lower grades have advanced &c to nc per
pound, while the medium kinds have firm
ly held their own. There is a strong be-
lief that strictly prime and fancy rice will
further advance, owing to their scarcity.

COTTON.

The cotton market was without inter

Cotton Exchange to-day:
