Consul Kehl, at Stettin, Germany,
sends to the State Department a
description of an immense new passen-
ger steamer launched at the Vulcan
Yards last month, aid which he expects
will be operating between Germany and
New York next summer. The vessel is
called the Deutschland and is designed
to be q record breaker both fer size and
speed and is to cost when completed

The following description will give
an idea of the stupendous proportions
Of the new steamship: Length over all,
6S4 feet; beam, 67 feet; nodded depth,
A feet; displacement, loaded, %. 200
tons; measurement, 1920 tons regis

Steam is supplied from IL double and
four single boilers, with 112 fires, which
drive two six-oylinder guadrurle expan-
sion hammer engines of 80. 900 horse
power. The two propeller shafts are
each III. % feet long and "a. 8 inches in

r. G. Dun & Co. IS Review says:
"Prioes of materials are yielding. If
not the best news possible for some
speculators, it is the best that could
come for the whole country, since in
dustries could not long prosper without
reaction from the extreme prices caused
by actual or supposed scarcity OF
materials last year. Some help comes
from new iron furnaces that have
opened or approach completion some
from the famine in India, which send
hithei shiploads Of hides; some from
the much increased flocks of sheep
which have weathered the winter, and
some from the opening of new iron,
zinc or copper mines. The causes are
many, but the revision of quotations
gives promise of greater activity in all
the chief industries. 1t is only the
future that has been clouded, for as
yet payments through banks, deliveries
by rail and production on former orders
keep ahead of the record in the last or
any other February. The railroads are
actually delivering a larger tonnage
than ever at this season, especially
westbound, while eastbound shipments
from Chicago have been in three weeks

ments S14, 521, 56S in value last week
and in three weeks $50, 1874, $50, against
500, 1888, 1O5 last year. the imports here
were curiously $50, $50, 412, against
S2S, 531, 1888 last year. But many dc
not see that the increase of 20 pei cent

imports by $42, 600, 600. T"
| Bradstreet's notes that general
distributive trade is of satisfactory
volume, though affected by weather
conditions and holidays. Spring bust
ness is enlarging Mt many markets East
and West, the presence of buyers being
encouraged by special passenger rates.
A softening of prices of speculatively
dealt in staples is to be noted, but tht
reactions are of narrow extent. Money

a Most pellcate Apparatus.

One of the most delicate pieces Of ap-

number of cells in the blood. Medical
scholars tell US that In a minute drop
of blood no larger than the head of a

OF these red cells. In health there are a
certain number in a certain amount OF
blood; while In certain diseases. as
anemia, this number is greatly deficient,
causing pale cheeks, white lips, trans

admirers of fighting. The colOred fighter
win attempt to defeat Joe Choynski and
Tommy Ryan in six-round contests
which are scheduled to take place under
the auspices of the Tattersall's Athletic
club. The Joe Choynski-Joe WalcOtt
match will take place on the night of
December 27 1t was originally intend
ed to have the negro and Ryan measure

now probable that Walcott will be given
a. rest, while Benny Yanger and Bern
stein settle their differences on the night
of January 8. with Walcott and Ryan
two weeks later.
The most interesting of these matches
should be the meeting between Tommy
Ryan and Walcott. The latter took a
turn at following Ryan about with bold
challenges before his mana ger set him
on the trail of Tom Sharkey, but the
presumption was that Ryan did not

thinking over the advisability of a. Wal

money in sight and the fact that six
rounds is not near as bad as twenty or
twenty-five has undoubtedly influenced
Ryan in taking on the colored man.
