MURIEL's STORMY VOYAGE.
Fourteen Days Of Severe Gales
Snow, Hail and Lightning.

Port Townsend, Wash, Jan. 16.-Thc
schooner Muriel, after being buffeted
about on tempestuous seas for forty
days in trying to reach Hakodate from
Kobe. has arrived here almost stripped
of sails and some Of her spars gone.
The Muriel sailed from Kobe for Hako-
date with cargo of sulphur.
After leaving Kobe the Muriel en-
countered severe gales for fourteen
days. at the expiration Of which she
found herself some hundreds of miles
further away from her destination than
on the day she sailed, with sails tat
tered and torn and some of her spars
carried away. In this condition Cap
tain Carleson deemed it impossible to
reach Hakodate with his ship in that
condition. and sailing before gales. with
what reefing sails he had, he headed
for Puget Sound.
On one occasion. during the first four
teen days out, Captain Carleson reports
having encountered severe storm Of
snow, hail and lightning. The night
was very dark and the wind was blow
ing with hurricane force. Sleet and
hail ratified on the deck, which, with
the force of the wind. endangered the
lives Of the sailors. Great sheets or
lightning swept the sea, and at times
it appeared that the vessel was sailing
in sea of fire. Captain Carleson says
that was the most fearful experience
he ever had during his life at sea.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Jan. 16.-Profcssional oper-
ations In stocks fell away considerably
today and as there Is no other interest
In the market the dealings made further
progress towards a condition OF stagna.
tion. There was some slight speculation
In Sugar. Tobacco and the local fractions,
but these represented little more than
swapping Jack knives among the board
room traders. as maybe judged from the
days small net changes. These specu-
lative favorites are higher on the day
after various fluctuations. There Is no
better indication of their having gone up
than that they went down yesterday.
There was evidence of desire on the
part of the shorts to cover in Tobacco,
dealings and the rest Of the market with
1t. 1t was emphatically waiting mar
ket and 1t was by no means clear what
II was waiting for. The fact that the
speculative centers of the world gives
point to the supposition that the devel-
opment of conditions in South Africa Is
awaited. Money conditions continue to
make progress towards greater ease all
over the world. without the slightest ef-
feet on speculation. A period of stag
nation after so drastic a liquidation as
that of last month is by no means unique
o: abnormal, without counting the South
African situation. 1t Is very generally
believed that Il British success there
would cause sharp rally in prices, II
for no other reason than from the COW
erlng demand by the bears. who have
sold the market in spite of skepticlsm
over any early change in the situation.
1t would be necessary to go back two
years to the time of uncertainty preced.
ing our war with Spain to find n parallel
for the absolute listlessness or patient
waiting which are the characteristics
Of the current stock market. Rates for
time money were shaded below per cent.

IRON AND STEEL FOR CHINA.
Shipments to the Orient Have
Helped to Raise Prices.

San Francisco. Jan. 16--Charles L..
Wagoner, of Pittsburg, Pa, who IS
largely interested in iron and steel ship
ments from this city. said:
overland shipments via this port to
China, Japan and Siberia are monopo-
lizing all the available ship room. I'M
mense supplies for the Eastern Chinese
railway and other branches of the great
trans-Siberian road have been for
warded from this country. Those facts
account somewhat for the jump in the
prices of steel and iron, as the exports
to the Orient increased from 100000 for
eleven months in 1898. to $1.70O 900 for
the corresponding months of last year.
There was an increase in the exports
OF almost all classes OF machinery, es-
pecially agricultural implements and
scientific apparatus.
The cotton cloth trade with China
shows an increase of about $4,000, 900
