MARINE/ INTELLIGENCE. Matters of Interest to Shlppluc Men Generally. > 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, Core, Pamlico and Albemarle rounds and iheir tributaries. The book also contains a list of the laws for the protection of aids to navigation. 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.

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.

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.

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.
