STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Jan. 24.-There were at
tempts to hold the market this morn
ing by marking up individual stocks
which proved successful until the I'M
casinos of the professionals to take
their profits checked the advance. The
whole market then reacted dropping
generally to well below last night.
There was another upward move
ment when short covered which reduc-
ed the net changes to insignificant pro-
portions, but made the closing
firm. Fully one-third of the days
transactions were in Sugar and Anal
gamated Copper. Except for these
there were not half a dozen stocks in
which the transactions amounted to
10000 shares. Metropolitan Street
Railway started upward to 1915. but
fell back to over a point below last
night and closed unchanged. The
dealings in Sugar were on a very large
scale with no news to account for
them beyond the general expectation
of reduction in duties on Cuban SUI
gars. This stock rose nearly points,
but fell back to below last nights level
and closed unchanged. Amalgamated
Copper Jared better, the late recovery
carrying it back TO 72h, the best of
the day, and at a net advance of 11s ;
The buying was apparently by spec

day to explain satisfactorily the re-

which, therefore, must be credited to
prOfit-taking. The sitting of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission on the
matter of railroad combinations was
the subject of discussion and may
have had a depressing effect.

The Baltimore American says: The
Maryland Steel Company at Sparrows
Point is one of the bidders for the con-
struction of fleet of big steamers to
be constructed by the United States
Steamship Company. The ships are to
be built in Atlantic coast shipyards at
an average cost of 100000 each.
The new steamship line is to be es-
tablished between Boston and the
West Indies, South America, Central
America and Mexico including Porto
Rico. 1t is planned that these steam
ships, ten of which are to be built in
this country. are to be of considerable
size, varying from 1,500 to 900 tons.
arrangements for their construction are
now being made in various shipyards,
the Bath Iron Works being one of the
number
The new vessels to be built by the
United States Steamship Company
will be fitted with the latest and most
approved methods for refrigeration of
perishable goods, and devices for the
easy and rapid handling of all freight,
also comfortable and spacious accom-
modaions for passengers. One of the
important points in the company's pro-
gramme is that the business is to be
carried on in merican ships which will
fly the American flag, and will revive
the fallen supremacy of our ships in
the West Indian trade. Tt is probable
that the ships will be named after the
Presidents of the United States
A. N. White of Pawntucket. r. l., is
president of the United States Steam
ship Company, and Raymond Apollonio
of Boston is secretary and treasurer.
The Maryland Steel Company is now
constructing two 500 feet long ships
for the Atlantic Transport Line and
two 10000 cargo carriers.

point we found. When we had enough
of it and returned for our clothes the
joke was on the engineer, whose clothes
had been swallowed up in the asphalt,
which gradually yields to the slightest
pressure. He saw a sock just above
the surface and cauhgt it expecting TO
recover his lost clothes, but it tore
off at the toe. In the absence of any
thing with which to dig up the asphalt
the engineer paid pretty dearly for his
bath by losing every stitch of his
clothing"
