Fair activity is reported at present in
all lines of the coastwise trade. .Steam
freight rates are being satisfactorily
maintained, while a noticeable increase
in the demand la contributing to a more
a.tive business in the sail movement.
The Ocean Steamship Company of Sa
\annah states that this season compares
very favorably with the corresponding
period of a year ago, and there is good
reason to believe the summer's traffic will
be active and satisfactory. Both the
north and southbound movement is nor
mal at present. COtton is still being
moved in considerable lots, and lumber is
also going North in large shipments.
Southern vegetables are moving freely.
The Clyde Line people stated to the
New York Journal of Commerce that they
hod had a good season's business and the
outlook was very encouraging for contin
ued activity. The southbound movement
to Jacksonville, on ac'eount of the recent
disaster there, and the forwarding of sup
plies. has been quite heavy. The Clyde
Line is about to add two new steamships
to its service. The Apache has already
been launched and the Arapahoe will be
launched shortly. The dimensions and fin
ish of the two steamers will be the same.
They may each be described as 310 feet
long, 46 feet wide and 31 feet deep, and
having a capacity for 3,000 tons of cargo
and handsomely decorated accommoda
tions for over 200 passengers, all oh the
upper deck, thus insuring good light and
ventilation. The lighting throughout will
be by electricity and the fittings and
equipment will be up to the highest stand
ard. They will have a speed of 13 knots.
The Apache and Arapahoe will both go on
the route between New York and Charles,
ton. S. C.. and Jacksonville, Fla., in ad
dition to the Comanche. Troquois and Al
gonquin. now running. With these two
new steamers the Clyde Steamship Com
pany will have in its fleet 17 ocean-going
steamers, besides many river and inland
craft.

BANKER t I,raws’ VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook a* Seen From
Wall Street.
New York, May 18 —The situation creat
ed by the violent competition for the con
trol of Northern Pacific has now abated
and the struggle 1* no longer likely to
develop any deranging conflict; and the
rame may be taken for granted In re
spect to other stocks more or less con
cerned with current railroad “deels.”
Moreover. the transactions In these
stocks, having been well eliminated from
the general speculation, are likely to re
main forsaken until the “deals'’ have
leached a flnol settlement. This clearing
up of the situation opens the way to a
resumption of speculation in other secur
ities, but probably not with the same
spirit and activity as heretofore. The
general market has a shock
which will likely be felt for some time
to come. There has been a large extent
of compulsory realizing, In which some
operators have lost their accumulated
profits or exhausted their margins. In the
vast amount of Interior speculation, the
losses have been especially large jam 4~i he
contingent of “outsiders” has l|e#riV|tHcr
driven or frightened out of the moiket.
The Western speculators have had to
liquidate on a large scale. They and even
more cautious operators have learned a
lesson which I* calculated to restrain
them from buying again at top prices.
Also, It Is to be expected, that this same
claas will hesitate to enter the market
again until the rough places In the rail
road “deals" have been made smooth.
Moreover, when a market has been se
verely shocked In the midst of a sanguine
boom. It takes times to entirely restore
confidence; and that is especially the case
when the disruption comes on the eve
of the summer vacation, when the specu
lative fraternity *re worn out with
months of excitement and over-tension
The situation, however, has another side
that merits much consideration. The cri
sis of the danger Is passed; we have
eeen the worst, and It 1* felt to be a
FINANCIAL.

great relief that the consequences have
fiptbeen more serious. Not one Stock
Exchange house has suspended; which
implies that operators have, from their
large profits, been well able to take care
of their contracts. This is. perhaps, one
of the most gratifying experiences in the
history of Wall street speculations. The
perils of the Northern Pacific '‘corner”
to London seem to have been almost
equal to those that threatened New Y'ork.
The joint intervention of the Rothschilds
and Mr. Morgan appears, however, to
have averted the danger, and the London
market has again recovered tone.
BOOK NOTICES
“Did She Fail?" by Anna Fielding. The
Abby Press, publishers, 114 Fifth avenue,
New York city. Cloth, 60 cents. The
writer of this bright little story’ was born
here in Savannah, and still has many
friends here. The story is an account
of her trip abroad in search of a musical
education, including many interesting ex
periences in different European countries.
There is no plot, of course, yet every
chapter is full of interest, and those who
read the book will not regret having done
so.
"The Bench and Bar as Makers of the
American Republic,” by Hon. W. W.
Goodrich, presiding justice of the Appel
late Division of the Supreme Court of
New York. E. B. Treat & Cos., 241-243
West Twenty-third street. New York City,
publishers. This is a delightful little vol
ume, made up of an address delivered by
the author on the occasion ol' the cele
bration of the 2Soth anniversary of the
landing of the Pilgrims. It is a little
work that will well repay those who
read it.
“Her Majesty's Minister,” by William
Le Quex. Dodd, Mead & Cos., New York
City, publishers. Cloth, $1.50. This is a
curious chapter of the secret history of
a nation, a narrative of strange facts
and diplomatic wiles. It opens in the
embassy of the British legation at Paris,
where the dastardly betrayal of a state
secret, supposedly known only to the
British ambassador and one of his secre
taries, has placed the English diplomatists
in a most unenviable position. Lord Bar
mouth declares the trickery to be the
work of a certain woman, and the com
plications which thereupon ensue compel
the closest attention till the last word is
read.
"Side Lights on Management World
Systems Railways,’’ by Maj. Pangbourne.
. (8 by 5Vi, pp. 248.) J. G. Pangborn, Balti
more. The author affords insight into
railway methods which is of peculiar in
terest at this time. Probably no other
man has met in person so many railroad
men, or, passed over so many different
lines of railway. The world his field of
Investigation and study, few men, indeed,
have, gotten over and through- it as has
he. Well equipped to observe intelligently
and draw conclusions advisedly, from his
long time service in Baltimore and Ohio
operation, and, prior to such, on the
Santa Fe, -the Major had practical expe
rience, rather than mere theory, as the
preliminary qualification for reaching de
termination of causes leading up to ef
fects. In other words, what he saw, as
well as that which he heard, he under
stood, and his inferences, as his facta
and his data throughout, present clear
ness of directness, whatever may be the
impression as to the rule of bluntness so
strikingly characterising the hook. What
soever may he the general view of the
railway situation,, there can be no gain
saying Major Pangbourne’s breezy, pun
gent and pithy manner of presenting his.
"El Gapitan Y r eneno,” by D. Pedro A. de
Alarcon! Edited by George Griffin Brow
nell, professor of Romance Languages,
University of Alabama. Cloth. 12m0.,
143 pages. Price 50 cents. American Book
Company, New York. An edition of this
little story prepared for American stu
dents is very acceptable, for Alarcon Is
one of the most popular of modern Span
ish writers, and this charming novelette
Is in his happiest vein. It humorously por
trays the fate of the crabbed, woman
hating old soldier, nicknamed from bis
disposition, “The Choleric Captain.” The
style in which it is written is simple, and
the story is admirably suited for class
reading.
“The Story of Little Nell,” by Charles
Dickens. Edited with an Introduction by
Jane Gordon. Cloth, 12m0., 357 pages. Price
50 cents. American Book Company, New
York. This is the latest addition to the
series of Eclectic School Readings, so
widely and favorably know to teachers.
It comprises the groundwork and much
the larger portion of “The Old Curiosity
Shop," and Is given In the present volume
Just as Dickens wrote it, but freed from
the various episodes and other passages
originally employed to introduce other
characters. The story, thus abridged and
confined solely to the relation of the pa
thetic adventures of Its heroine, will, we
are sure, appeal especially to young read
er*.
Magnsine*
The Smart Set for June opens with a
$1,060 prize novelette entitled “The Middle
Course,” by Mrs. Poultney Bigelow. The
story concerns itself with a beautiful
London society woman whose husband Is
unsympathetic and even brutal, and who
becomes sensationally Involved, although
innocent, with a much-lionized sculptor
through a Jealous woman's malicious gos
sip. By this story Mrs. Bigelow at once
attains a very high place as a writer of
smart Action. Mrs. M. E. W. BherwooiT
contributes to the number a very timely
artlole, “The Wandering American,” that
will prove Interesting to ull European
travelers and would-be traveler*. Gelett
Burgess contributes an amusing story,
"The Midnight Matchmaker,” and there
is a *cintillatlng article by Edgar Saltus
entitled "Vanity Square." Harriet Pres
C6U Spoftord write* a strong psycholog
ical study, "The Conquering Will,” and a
unique and fantastic 3100 prize story Is

"I ain’t seen so much o' you lately,"

“No; I has had sumpin' better to do

"Been goin' to hear Sam Jones?”
"Dat's It; ben goin’ ebble day, an' wot's

"Do he. use, all dat kin' o' wilent talk

"Well, yes,” answered Uncle Mingo;

"Gee! Sam,” say George, “dat was a

“Big crowd ’trough," say Sam. "but dam

"Well, dat's your own fault," aay
George. “You always gone an pull me
