 In a five day voyage through. the Red Sea the United Press corre- spondent saw many activities which belied the calmness radiated from the shores of Africa and Asia. Sil- houetted against resplendent sun sets were ships bristling with guns or laden with troops.
 On the horizon were ships that looked like peaceful merchantmen but were seen through binoculars to be Italian transports. carrying men to fight in East Africa or car. rying back men who had fallen victim to Africa's illnesses.
 of the Eritrean, Egyptian and Arabian coasts were British cruis- CTS accompanied by mine layers or watched over by destroyers. busily patrolling and observing all ship. ping.
 A British destroyer patrollcd Port Twefk, at the entrance to the canal, and light cruisers patrolled the southern reaches of the Red Sea, scrutirizing every vessel and reporting all shipping movements to the admiralty in London.
 Day and night the French steam ship fingers on which the core spondent came to Djibouti passed British destroyers, efficiently watching everything that hap pened on Britain's high road to its empire. All the way from Mar seilles every vista was of war.
 The grim British warships passed close to Italian transports. Both conspicuously refrained from dip ping their colors or otherwise ex- changing amenities.

BY FREDERICK GARDNER,

NEW YORK, January 1.-Reaching
the end of 1884 trail, the stock market
today retained the chastened, sober
air characteristic Of it during most
of the year. There was an under
current of quiet confidence in the
financial district, founded on the
belief lasting recovery was under way.
1t was reflected in further rallying
tendencies in the share list. But in
speculative quarters there was no
disposition to celebrate the new year
with the exuberance displayed in
other years. when final sessions of
the year marked a respite from
liquidating phases Of a bear cycle or
a transition to another year of business
expansion. While business improve
ment trends have been visible for
some time, Wall Street has been stay
ing close to shore in the stock market.
waiting for new year developments to
verify current indications of further
Improvement.

Bonds, Commodities Up.

In contrast with the trendless back
ing and filling of share prices through
1884, with utilities and rails losing
ground for the year, bonds and COM
modities on the average pointed
upward. The trends on display in
bonds and staples is one major
reason why the financial community
generally remains bullish on stocks.
1t was pointed out in various quarters
that bonds and commodities often
signal the major moves for stocks.
The year-end upturn in bonds left
high-grade issues on the average at
about peak levels of the year and well
above their average prices at the close
of 1888. An uptrend in commodity
prices in recent weeks also has be-
come more clearly defined at the year
end. The moody index of spot COM
modify prices is almost back to the
peak established last August, consider
ably above its level at the close of
1888.
