Unless there Is some unforeseen hin
drance It is exfected the Belgian steam
ship Clematis will clear to-day with
' spirits tuipentir.e. Considering the fact
this is the tiist visit of the Clematis, and
cot sequetitly the first experience the
stevedores have had with her. the work
60 far has bten dene in good time.
It ts understood that the Clematis will
not carry the amount of turpentine the
i ompnny expected she would. While it is
no; known just what she will clear with,
it is not believed she will come up to
expectations.
'l'he Lighthouse Board has Just issued
a hook containing a full list of all bea
tors buoys and day marks in the Fifth
1 ighthouse Dis rict, embracing the sea
coast of Virginia and North Carolina
from Metomkin Inlet, Va., to New river
ii let, N. C., Chesapeake bay and tributa
ries. James river and tributaries, Poto
mac river and tributaries, Hatteras and
Ocraeoke inlets, N. C., and Beaufort,

The largest schooner in the world, th>
first eix-master ever built, was launched
during the week front the yard of Har
vey M. Bean, at Cantden, Me. This is
the schooner Gto ge W. Wells, owned by
( opt John G. Crowley of Taunicn. and
others She wi'l b • commanded by Capt.
Arthur Crowley, now of the five-masted
schooner John B. Prescott. The keel of
this monster schooner was laid on April
1 She is now practically completed as to
hull, but such is her weight that the
mas's will not be put in until after she
has been launched for fear that the blocks
upon which she rests, now crushed al
most flat, would collapse altogether. In
stead of spilling wine at her naming th
p etty daughter of the man for whom ihe
vessel has been named will scatter white
roses over her bows, and as the moves
down the ways a flock of white doves will
tie liberated after the fashion favored by
the Japanese.
So great is the sweep of her deck that
the vessel's houses, although of generous
size, look very small. Her after house
is 26 feet square; amidship is the galley,
ard forward the engine house and fore
cast'*. while she also has a wheelhouse
f r use in heavy weather, something that
Is seldom found on coasting vtssels.
The six lower masts are splendid sticks
of Oregon pine, each 119 feet long and 30
Inches in diameter in the partners; the
topmasts are each 58 feet long, the fore
topmast bring 20 inches in diame'er in
toe cap The jibboom is 75 feet long, and
20 inches in diameter in the cap. The
driver boom is 75 feet long and 18 inches
in the slings. The. other booms are 42 feet
long and 14 Indus in the sltrgs. Her fore
topmast, driver boom and Jibboom are of
Oregon pine, and all other spars are of
native spruce- All the standing rigging is
of wire, set up wi h turnbuekles. The
masts are named as follows, beginning
forward: Foremast, mainmast, mizzen
mns', spankermasi. Jiggermast and drlv
ermast. The vessel will carry 12,0f0 square
yards cf the heaviest duck in the follow
ing pi*oes: Driver, jibber, spanker, mix
zen, main and foresails; six gaff topsails
of the same respective designations; driv
r, jigger, spanker, mizzen anti main.op
inast staysails, five jibs.
In the after house are the cabins and
six staterooms, besides a chart room. The
staterooms will be occupied by the mas
ter, steward. tw r o mates and engineer, and
including accommodations, there will be
two spare rooms for passengers. The cab
ins and staterooms are finished in ash.
sycamore and cherry, and supplied with
steam heat, baths, hot and cold -water,
electric bells, and a telephone line to the
gall y and engine house.
An improved steamboat wheel is on ex
hibition at the Monongahela wharf, and
it promises to revolutionize the mode of
- teomboaiing on Western and Southern
rivers, says the Pittsburg Chronicle-Tele
graph. Unlike other steamboat whee’s,
the wheel does not produce swells, and
when backing doe3 not "wash” the river.
The Invention is known as the Mederer
improved steambeat *he 1. The wheel
has curved buckets supported on each
arm, one for going ahead and one for
hacking. The aurved buckets simnly lift
tie water and drop it without making any
waves The owners claim that the speed
of a boat can be increased by the adop
tion of this kind of a wheel. Several sp
resentatives of the transform lon de .* t
ment of the river combination inspected
the wheel, and were EO pleased with it
that the towboat Leader or Monterey will
bo fit ed up with a wheel In order to give
it a trial.

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
Cotton Unsettled— Atlju*tmen< of Sop

The cotton ncaiket was unsettled during
the pasi we k with frequent fluctuations
August closed 15 points Lwcr at 9.15 c, but
the new crop months show little change.
January 8.36 c. Some support was derive)
from the slowness of new cotton to come
forward. Ctop aeoounts are- batter from
Texas but worse elsewhere, and the sit
uation is so badly mixed that It w uld

planters to ho and their nops for fen cents.

vember. and did not go much higher un
til nearly all the crop had been sold. The
last advance from 7(9c or 8c up to 10c
was due more to speculative manipulation
than to consumptive demand. The aver
age price of the great bulk of the crop
was scarcely over 6 1 ac. But this is not ail.
A year ago the inctease in consumption,
stimulated by the long prevailing low’
prices as well as bu extraordinary fa
vorable trade conditions, was on a boom,
and the world th-.n practically arranged
or prepared ~Tor Its annual consumption
cn a basis of ab ut Sbyc for cotton. No
economist would, for a mcm nt, claim
that the world will arrange for as great
consumption at 10c as at In fact,
even at Btfee, there will be found a very
considerable difference In the demand,
compared with what it was at 544 c, sup
posing that auxiliary conditions were
equally propitious. But this is by no
means the case, the dry goods trade looks
overdone and tired, and the great Orien
tal markets will be less in evidence for
some time at least, a striking contrast
with conditions last year.
It Is best not to be too greedy. Instead
of holding out for 10c, the plamer ought
to be very thankful to get present market
quotations, which in all conscience are
very much better than he ever had a
right to expect. Should a late and favor
able fall expand this crop to anything
like latge proportions, which, by the way,
is quite in the cards, it is not impossible
that the price may end, this season, about
where It began last year.

Wall Street.
New York, Aug. 18.—In eplte of midsum
mer dullness the market,has displayed un
usual strength. This was due chiefly to
strong inside support, easy money, im
provement in the Chinese situation, good
railroad earnings, satisfactory crop re
ports In gem ral. Improving trade prospe 's
and Increasing public confidence. With
the return of absentees from their vaca
tions, thi prospects are for a more active
and atron.rer market. Considerable dis
crimination. however, will be necessary
In the purchase of stocks, much more than
a year ago. A few of the last clus* of in
dustrials, especially the Iron and alee! Is
sues, tnay afford u fair chance of profit,
but the more conservative operators will
select the securities of railroads which
are making good records in comings; and
speculative Interest Is likely to be chiefly
centered upon the new dividend-payers.
The market has thus far ignored The large
gold shipments, for the reason that we
have plenty of gold to spare for Europe's
needs. More may follow, but there ts nd
prospect yet for the movement causing
disturbance here.. Before many weeks the
supplies from SoUfh Africa, which have
betn shut off since last October, will be
gin to find thelf way to London, and so
modify the drain ii|>tt Ihe Fulled Mutes.
When crop demands end trade activity
reach their climax, money rates will
probably harden, especially as iwnk re
serves are not particularly strong; and
any sharp advance in the loiernatlonal
stock* might easily stlmu'al* foreign wi
ling lit thl* market, for Europe has been
seizing all sue It opiKirtunltle* to pay her
d* as here. These, however, are not fa,
tor* to be feared; 4hey are simply con
dition* that will 'near waiehlng for tbelr
influence upon any bull c impaign that
may develop. A not her evidence of Ihe
strength of the market was the abeem-e
of effect from the death of C. P. Hunt
ington, who belonged to a generation of
rellroad gittnts, nearly all of whom have
parsed away.
The collapsti- of the South Afrhian war
seem* now only a question of a short time
and mtiy come at any moment. The pres
ent series of British operations seems des
tined to speedily break down the remain
ing opposition to the closing of the con
flict.
