WIRES on American Ships.

Beyond the larger first cost Of Amer
lean built ships another weighty fac.
tor in the question Of how to revive
the American merchant marine Is the
wide difference in shipboard wages be-
tween this country and its European
competitors. This difference in wages
Is not characteristic Of the high speed
mail steamers alone. In the report of
the commissioner of navigation for
1000 there is Il comparison Of the paS
rolls of the American cargo steamer
PleiadGS and the British cargo steam
erS Lady JoicGy and MaSconomo, all OF
about $500 tons The twenty-siX Off
GERS and mon of the American ship re-
ceive $1,215 mouln. or $14.JS0 year,
in wages. The thirty officers and mon
Of one British ship receive $9G1 G
month. or $l1,j32 year. and the thirr
ty-two officers and men Of the other
British ship receive 1919 a month, or
S11,IJ1 a year. Practically the same
difference will be found in the wages
on board American and British sailing
vessels. Winthrop L. Marvin in Serb

FOR THE .LITTLE. ONES.
Obedience Of a Boy Who Afterward
Became a Great Man.

Sir Henry Havelock attributed
much of his success in after life to
the training which he received from
his father and mother. On one oc-
casion his father told his son to
meet him on London bridge at noon,
but he forgot all about the appoint
ment, and when he got home in the
evening was surprised to find the
lad not there.
"Where is Henry?" he asked of
his wife.
! She replied that the boy had gone
to meet his father early in the day
and had not been back yet.
"Why," said the father, che must
be waiting for me on London bridge.
I promised to meet him there at II
o'clock. I told him to wait for me
if T was not there at that hour, but
I forgot all about it."
It was now late in the evening.
The father at once put his overcoat
on to 60 in search of the lad. He
lived long way from London, and
it was past midnight when he reach
ed the bridge.
Sure enough, there stood the brave
boy, shivering with the cold. He
would not move away, although cold
and tired, because his fathers last
wordE on parting had been, "Wait
there for me, my boy, till I come"
Is there any wonder that boy
who could obey so well became a
great and honored man in the his
tory of his nation?

New York, March 1.-THE early
market was lower by only to 8 points.
although Liverpool did not make any
such showing as was looked for after
our big rise of yesterday. 1t was re-
ported that the Wall street operator
had turned bull, although there was
nothing to confirm it, There were
tremendous rains along the coast of
Texas and more or less elsewhere as
far north as Memphis and the north
portion of the Gulf states, but the
forecast was for fair conditions to-
morrow. The main thing in the sit
uation was the Mississippi flood sit
uation, which appeared to be growing
serious. For the time being we will
no doubt hear plenty of reports of cot
ton lost and delayed farm work and
it is reasonable to look for smaller re-
ceipts. The range of prices will prob
ably be wide for some time. Bears
continue to pirate about the avalanche
of cotton sure to be marketed when
the weather settles. Bulls are uncon-
cerned about this and are confident of
occupying a very strong position.
Prices quickly advanced after the
opening and there was more outside
buying than for some time. Port re-
ceipts $4,000, last year 10 000 Gables
were strong at to II advance.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, March 1.-THE constant
fluctuation in to-daN's stock market
reflected very unsettled and uncertain
state of mind on the part of the pro-
fessional trading element and it re-
CURED the utmost agility by that part
of the professionals known as scalpers
to follow price changes.
The average level however, was
gradually lifted and the market closed
with one of the upward flurries in pro-
gress and about at the top level of the
day. There was a sensible relaxation
of the pressure of forced LIQUIDATION
which the recent calling of loans by
the banks has caused and some re-
covery due the covering of short con-
tracts by bears was, therefore, nor
NAL.
Loans on call were made during the
most active period of the days money
market at 51a per cent, and per cent
was the maximum. For time money
lenders were disposed to hold firmly
for a per cent. rate, but borrowers
showed less urgency to secure funds,
especially for the longer periods, and
contented themselves with loans for
three to four months where no con-
cession was allowed for the six months
period. There was nothing to show
the source of this relief to the money
situation unless it might be the re-
suit of the liquidation in the stock
market. The higher interest rate here
has resulted in some lending for ac-
count of interior institutions, which
are also reported to be calling some
loans at home for the purpose of MAX
ing these loans in Wall street. Sterling
exchange was considerably firmer to-
day, and there was quite notable
falling off in the offerings of loan
bills.
Since the first of February the sub
treasury has withdrawn from the New
York market something like $40, 900, 900.
This state of affairs in a period of
stringency gave special significance to
the visit in Wall street to-day of the
Secretary of the Treasury. The con-
viction was general, Notwithstanding
the officials disclaimers, that some
measures of relief for the local money
situation were in contemplation.
This was really the strong underlying
influence upon the improved speculative
sentiment, although active play was
made on the constantly changing ru-
mors regarding the contest between
the Hartman and Keene interests in
Southern Pacific. A turn against the
shorts in Metropolitan Street Railway
was also a factor.
