o YHE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY; MARCH 28, 1880—SIXTEEN PAGES. FINANCE AND TRADE. A Gradual Rise in Investment Stocks. The Produce Markets Fairly Active—Provisions Stronger—York and Heats Wanted. Breadstufls Easier—The Wheat Deal Affected by the Rainfall. FINANCIAL. ‘The stock market yesterday was dull. The ‘Dank statement showed an increase of $100,525 jn the reserve, with over $4,000,000 decrease in deposits, and about $3,540.00 in loans. This, in comparison with the starement of last week, must be regarded as favorable. The movement in investment stocks wus less marked, but prices re well maintained. Chicago & Alton ad- vanced to 1143, a very lanre increase in carnings being announced. New York Central from 130%, on ‘Thursday rose to 12;; Northwestern pre- ferred. 110; St. Paul preferrea, 107%. In non- dividend stocks quotations were luwer. Ohio & Mississippi 8% to 37; St. Joe 3744 to 381s; Mis- eouri, Kansas & Texas 41% to 444; Lake Eric & Western 35% to 34; Wabash 8 to 43%: Pacifie Mail 42 to 40%; Manbuttan 38 to 30%. Just at the close of business St. Paul & Sioux City common advanced from 43% to 44%, a@ movement vot unexpected iu reference to its new position in the St. Paul, Omaha & Chicayo Company. Sioux City preferred also advanced to 70%. Nashville & Chuttanoogs was, as usual, erratic, falling from yl to $3, and Louisville & Nashville from 164 to 1. Private advices report a very mixed condi- uon of things. The coal stocks, it isclaimed. are cheup. in view of the advance tobe made in cual, but the stock market does not as yet respond. Some of our Western trunk lines are doing a business that renders their future prospects for dividends almost a certafnty, and not a few con- servative men are willing to wait for dividends ‘whose payment is only a question of time. The stocks of the Northern Pacific Lailway certainly come within this rule, and the marvelous devel- ‘opment of the country slong its line, long since described by THE TriBuNE, is attracting the at- tention of thoughtful men everywhere. Foreign exchange was weak. Price in New York 485@488; Chicago, 44%@487X; commercial Dills, e27@483, Business in Government bonds was light: 63 Of "81, 104%@10535; 53 of "81, ILREG4; 448, IAG]; 45, 1005 G107. Very littie news of any kind could be gleaned yesterday from the Chicago bankers. Money is rather scarce and in fair demand, and discount lines ag heretofore remain at abigh figure. The rate is still 6@S per cent, with plenty of means to accommodate all good customers, In three, possibly four, Weeks more our lake vessels will “relieve our overburdened warehouses, and the millions of money. then realized on our sur- plus wili materially change the relative balances of our banks. What todo with their money wilt then be a leading if not a difficult question for our bankers, and capitalists to solve. New York exchange is. gradually working a little stronger. The rate between banks yester~ day was 6: per $1,000 discount. With the tremendous amount of farm products to go forward, any considerable rise is quite sure to be temporary. Currency from country correspondents was in fair request. In railroad bonds, in New York on Thursday, the dealings were well distributed, and a firm tone characterized the dealings. Erie consoli- duted seconds were in demand, and sold at 1@ wij. Kansas & Texas firsts sold at 12%@103, while do seconds rose from 68 to 691{ on lurge transactions, closing at 69. Lehigh & Wilkesburre consolidated assented rose to %; C., C, C. & I. firsts to 2: Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Tsto lis; andC.,C. & L C. incomes to 40:2. C.,C. & LC. tirsts fell off to &4; Texas Pacific incomes to 673j; Mobile & Ohio first debentures tw #4: Iron Mountafn first preferred incomes to #4; and Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg lirsts to 68. Munnger Hale, ot the Chicago Clearing-House, gives the following figures for the week ending March 27; Date. «$24 7519 Corresponding week last year. 1G E Financia circles were shocked to learn that the Hon. William H. Ferry, for the past thirteen Yeurs Viee-Presideat of the Commercial Nation- ut Bank, died Friday evening at Lake Forest. He was also for many years Director in the Northwestern Railway, and was President of the ‘West Wisconsin Road, extending from Leroy to St Paul. For several years he bas oceupicd a Jeading position in the nancial and railway af- tuirs of the Northwest, -He waSa man of un- bending energy, and yet cautious and conserva- tive, and possessing a mind that could grasp the most complicated problems and bring out results alike sutisfuctory and valuable. His integrity ‘was ever above suspicion, and be therefore al- occupied positions of high trust and re- sponsibility. He was about 62 years of age. His loss will be very eeverély felt by a wide circle of our best business men and by the community generally. IL H. HOLLISTER & Co. MEMBERS N, ¥.

Her garbonrds were edge-bolted to the kee! before the frames were raised, the bot- tom being flat for four fect each side of the centre of the keel before the dead rise commences, From that point she bas a dead rise of an inch anda quarter to the toot. Her framea are twenty-one inches from centres, molded ont of six-inch fliteh, with an extra sin- gie frame and futtock between exch frame the entire length of the floors, thus leaving but three inches space between tho frames. ‘The inain keelson is formed of three keelsons ubreast, heing tifty-four inches in hight, bolted through and through with one and one-eighth inch iron. ‘The main deck is thirteen and one-hulf feet from the ‘base amidship, and runs the reverse way of the sheer, the forward and atter ends thus forming an urch. The main deck beams are nine ‘inches square, placed two and one- half feet apurt. ‘They are secured to the sides by — shelf-piecea three feet in width, made of several strakes, the dirst strake being fastened from the outside and riveted on the inside, Hanging knees and diag- oual braces form 2 keelsou on the floor, about half way between the bilge and main keelson, properly fastened ut both ends, will ‘utly vid in supporting the botzom of the vessel, and hold it from coming up or going down, But the great- est advantage of this brace will be found when the vessel is light and rolling heavily. Then there is a great strain upon the bilges, particu- Jarly in double-deched vessels. These braces 80 support the bilges that it is impossible for them to give. ‘The upper deck is six and one-hulf feet above the main deck amidships, and runs on a curve with the sheer, thus mak- ing ‘the space considerably deeper at both ends. The beams of this deck are most- Jy six by eight inches, secured with a shelf-piece twenty-four inches in width, and with hanging knees. The windlass deck forward is between the main und upperdecks, formed with beams nine by ten inches, und a shelf-plece, making threo shelf-pleces ranning forward and forming three immense mutural crook breast-hooks, making a complete Jeb of tying the ends togeth- er. The after end & tied together in # similar manner. The ceiling, planking, bilye-keelsons, clamps, ete., are all in’ propurtion, una ire such gS are required by the underwriters for first- class vessels, in fastening the timber together seventy-five ton3 of iron und spikes and nearly a ton of clinch-rings were used. All bults were driven from the outside except those striking iron. The model of the Minnesota is especially adupted for vessels in the iron-ore and grain trade, being calculated to seeure light draft in proportion to the amount she will carry. ‘There is one feature in her shupe aft which Is different from any other vessel built upon tho likes thus fur, viz.: her fantail runs within four feet of her upper-deck. giving ber the appearance of 8 salt-water steamer, She is calculated to curry 1,500 gross tons of iron on fourteen and onc- hbulf feet draft of water. The muin cxbin is below the upper-deck and above the main-deck, —commonly Kuown as “between decks,"—and abaft of the engine. The houses on deck ure a texas forward with pilot-house on top, and a house to close in the bollers and engine, with sufficient rooms on either side of the engine for engineers and firemen, and a pastasews: for the crew to descend to the lower deck. The Minnesota will carry three masts, the length of which are as follows: Fore- mast,’ eighty-two feet; mainmast, cighth-four feet; mizzenmast, eighty-two fect. A feature in this part of the outtit is that her mizzen is the lurgest sail she carries, the_mizzen-buom bemg the longest of the three. It ls expected that this arrangement will be of great benefit to the craft Hgbt. The hull contains five elevating batches, and three extra hatches for louding on the main deck while the lower hold is being trimmed, thus giving her eight hatches on the main deck. By this it can be seen that the owners do not interfd to keep her in port losing time in either taking on or. Gischarring cargo. The boiler and engine of the Minnesota sre being built by James Sheriffs, of Milwaukee, The shell of the boiler is seven fect four inches in diameter, and sixteen feet nine inches long. Itiscomposed of steel seven-sixteenths of an inchin thickness. The best of United States iron is to enter into the construction of the tire- box,ete. The engine is of the compound order, the "biyh-pressure cylinder being twenty-four inches in diameter, with forty inches stroke, and the low-pressure cylluder forty-eight inches in diumeter, with forty inches stroke. The bed- plate is twelve fovt four inches long, eleven fect wide, and twelve inches deep, and weighs nine and x half tons, The weight of the upper bed- plate is three tons. The frame will consist of six round hollow columns’ of cast-iron, each thirteen feet six inches lung, fourteen inches in diameter at the buse, and ten and one-half inches at the top, and weighing 3,vW0 pounds. ‘There are two cranks, one solid und one built, with a united weight of five tons. Theslides are of steel and cross-heads of iron. The air pump is twenty-four inches in diameter with eighteen inehes strokes, the condenser twenty-two inches in ditmeter und six and one-half feet bigh. The out-bourd shaft is nine and one-half inches in diameter, and the connecting shaft ten inches in diameter. Length of shafting from centre of engine to wheel thirty feet. It is calculated chat the engine will register 550 horse-power, vith twenty-five pounds of atmospheric pres- sure upon the low-pressure cyltnder. The weight ot boiler, engine, and fuel is estimated at 200 tons. The wheel is ten feet four inches in diameter, with fifteen feet pitch. With this wheel, and the power to drive it, the speed of the Minnesota, londed, it is thought will reach uvelve miles per hour, Capt. William Spencer will command the craft. —— GRAIN AND COARSE FREIGHTS. The recent decline in grain freights bus had no very discouraging effect upon vessel-owners. On the contrary, they manifest a spirit of in- difference, and freely express the belicf that things will right themselves as soon ns naviga- tion opens fully. Then vessels wilt become scattered in an intinit number of directions, and the scarcity of tonnage sure to be creuted in this way will have the effoct, so they argue, to send rates upward. The same teeling appears to be iargely prevalent among owners of lumber vessels, ‘he only grain charter reported yester- day was the sebvoner Millard Fillmore, at 10 cents for corn to Kingston; capacity, 18,000 bushels, Course freight charters embrace the scow 1. N. Forrest, cedur ties from Ahvupee to Chicago ut six cents; and schooner Jennie Mullen, cedar tles from'Horn’s Pier to Chicazo, two trips, at six cents apiece. The inquiry tor vessels was quite active, but very few were in readiness to accept charters. The fulowing offerings are in the market for takers: 10,000 tons of iron-ore from Escanaba to Depere at 14 cents per gross ton,—asking price $0 cents; any quaniity of ice from Green Buy to Chicago, with deck louds of cedar posts, the ice to be curried at $1.50 per ton; 14,000 tons of iron- ore from Escauaba to Leland,—$1 per gross ton offered and $1.25 asked; 700,00 feet of lumb¢ Cheboygan to Chit at 31.50 per 1,000 feet; cedar ties from Horn’s Pier to Milwaukee at 5 vents apiece; wood from ‘Lraverse Bay to Chi- cugo at 82.75 per cord, with deck loads of bar! wood frou Horn's Pier to Chiengo ut $1. per cord; cedur tics from Cheboygun to Chicago at 6 cents upivee; ouk ties from Whitehall tu Chi- cago ut cents apiece; umber from Saginwy and Bay City to Chicago gt $2.50 per 10w fects lumber from Alpena, To Chicago at. $2 per 1,00) feet; also, cedar ties from Alpena to Chicago at eight cents npiece; two light-draught vessels ure wanted for the season in tbo Peutwater lum- ber trade, at going rates; n tignt-dravght vessel is wanted to carry cedar ties from Aboupec to Chicago at six cents apiece, purt of the exrgo to be taken in the harbor. Vessels ure wafted to curry hurdwood lumber from ‘Traverse City to Chicago, but no freight is named; there are ul30 80,00U «edur ties, besides a lurge number of tele- gruph poles, tobe carried to this port trom Druin- mond island, at the head of Lake Hurot ‘The Butluio Express of Friday says: “ schooners Elizabeth Jones and D.S. Austin have, we understand, been churtered by the Lehigh Valley Coal Company to Juud conl for Chicago at going rates, which, we believe, is 75 cents, al- though Vvessel-owners are asking 31.’ OLD HULK OBSTRUCTIONS. Of tho old bulks that accumulated at tais port during the recent prolonged period of depres- siou in the vessel business there yet remain seven, distributed as follows: Schooners Cur- Jew and Emma, and scow Mermaid, sunk in the Ogden Canal; schooner St.“Paul, sunk in the North Branch, this side of North avenue bridge; schooner Fashion, sunk in Robert Clark's slip, opposit the Centrul Wharf; steamer Philo Par- sons, sunk in the Ogden Canal, at pMiller Bro.s’ ship-yurd; tug Leonard “Everett, “sunk at the mouth of the Ogden Canul, -on" the ship-yard bunk. Of these old hulks, that of the scuooner Emu chauged bands fast winter for a consid- eration of #5, and may be raised. The sco Mermaid lies opposit the Gas Company's duck insuch shape that a tow cannot puss when a vessel occupies the gas dock. Steps should be tuken to ‘secure ber re- moval. ‘The positions of the Philo Parsons and Leonard Everett are also such a3 to imperil the movement of tugs and yeasels up and down the canal, and should receive attention. Whose duty is it to see that these three obstructions to navigation are taken out of the way of causing serious damage to floating property? BUFFALO. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, BurFFAto, N. ¥., March 27.—Business in marine Circles was atrifie more sctive to-day, Vessel agents reported an increased demand for up- freights,as the canal forwarders come in for 8 share of the patronage. ‘The propeller Chauncey Hurlbut, Capt. Bas- sett, came into port from Detroit late last even- ing, and the propeller Egyptian, Capt. Landfair, arrived from the same place this morning. ‘These are the frst arrivals of grain vesselsfrom the river this season. The Hurlbut was loaded with 40,000 bushels of wheat, consigned to A, P. Wright & Son, and the Egyptian with 50,000 bush- els of wheat, consigued to Whitney & Gibson. ‘The sohooner Stampede, Capt. Aga, sailed for Toledo last night. She is under charter fora load of corn, to be delivered at this port, and is to receive two and a half cents per bushel. ‘The Pro ier Alpena and consort Wenona, the propeller Graves and consort Adams, and pro- pollen zener Chamberlain, from Toledo, arrived to-night. A heavy fog enveloped the lake this morning, and will propably interfere somewhat with the movement of vessels in and out of the harbor. Anumber of charters were made public this morning. The propeler Inter-Ocean goes to Bay City for lumber to Chicago at $2.50 per thou- sand, and her consort, the barge Argonuut, loads at Stilwaukec and Bay City, receiving $2,75 at the former place and $2.50 at the latter. Charters were also reported of the schooners Maria Martin and Hattie Jobnston, coal hence to Chicago at 7% cents per ton, and the Joseph Paige, same Cargo, to Milwaukee at 75 cents, —— MILWAUKEE. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, MILWAUKEE, March 27.—The vessel which has been lyingin bay since Thursday commenced dragging in heavy easterly sea this morning, and to prevent going ashore slipped anchor and ran tor harbor. She proves to be the schooner S. Bates, inden with tics, from Pentwater for Chicago.’ Before the craft vould be brought up after getting inside she ran her jibboom through the side of Shea’s warchouse, making quite a hole in the building and breaking the om. The schooner Advance, with ties, from Grand River for Racine, ulso' came inside during the morning for shelter. —— THE STRAITS, Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune” MACKINAW City, Mich., March 27.~The ice is all breaking up and moving up. Think it must be broken away through to Lake Michigan. Itis all clear between bere and Mackinac Island. It hus not moved in the south chanel yet, but think it soon will. Ifthe westher holds favur- able for a few days boasts can get through. Weather warm, wind east and heavy, with pros- pects of rain. Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribuns. CHEBUYGAN, Mich., March 27.—-Wind east, a gale, and raining. May possibly break the ice in the Straits orelear the harbor here when the wind shifts for up-boats as far as this port. ‘GETTING SOFT. The mild weather of the past few days has had such effect upon the snowin the Menominee River pineries that logging operations have ceased, and the loggers are breaking camp and returning home, In the Straits the ice is beginning to thaw rapidly, while the snow hud nearly all disappeared at latest accounts. With a continuance of the present mild spell, navigation through the lakes, from Chicago to Buffulo, will certainly be resumed by the luth of April at the latest. Advices from Traverse City represent Grand Traverse Bay entirely free of ice sad open to navigation throughout its entire tength. PORT JOTTINGS. William W, Bates is building a sloop yacht for a son of Capt. Parker, to be used on one of the little lakes in Waukesha County, Wisconsin. The craft will have her greatest beam forward, as a safeguard against capsizing. ‘The grain-laden schooner Kingfisher did not get into dry-dock at Miller Brothers‘ship-yard yesterday, afterall. Following her the schoon- ers Hattie Eurl and Autares will be docked, and pee in order the schooner Mears and tug But- ler. ‘Two vessels started the season on Friday after all—viz.: the schooners Lottie Couperand Jenny eee they did not tow out uatil late In the evening. ‘The schooner William Jones left this port at noon on Thursday, reached Horn’s Pier at noon oh Friday, and by 5 o'clock the same evening had finished taking ons cargo, and started upon the return trip. The tug Crawford is already partially housed. She will go into commission between the 10th and 15th of April, Cupt. William Chamberlain succeeds George & Baker in the command of the schooner James ue! H. S. Halsted, it is said, has succeeded in ob- taining a permit from the Canadian Govern- Ment by which be will be enabled to employ Aincrican wrecking-tugs and wreckers in an- other eifért to rescue the schooner F.

John Clapp, the Cincinnati catcher, has been coaching the pitcher and catcher of the Cornell University nine. ‘There are 129 playing-daysin the League sea- son, during which the cight clubs will have to play eighty-four games. 2 Unless Syracuse McCormick gets a job pretty soon, the public will be debarred a sight of his artistic attitudes next summer, At last accounts the Worcesters were still fig- uring to get George Wright as short-stop and Cuptain, but nothing definit has been done. Although Hague has entirely recovered the use of hisarm, which was lume lust year, none of the League clubs have hiredhim. He applied to at least two of them. McGeary has finally been decided on as Cap- tain of the Providence team, which makes it pretty near certain that the championship will not remain in Rhode Island. Mrs. Sallie Van Pelt, of the Dubuque Times, who was alluded to lust Sunday us the buse-ball reporter of that paper, writes to say that the work in question is done by a gentleman. Mrs. Van Pelt thoroughly understands the game, however. The Rockford gentleman who is engineering the boom for a Western League did the sane thing Inst spring, but the organization fell to pieces, the Dubuque Club being the only one of the lot to hold out and pay its players until the close of the sexson. All the members of the White Stocking team are expected to be here by Wednesday next, and ng soon as all are on hand, end the weather will permit, practice will be begun and indulged ia every oar Before the Lengue season opens, a few exhibition games will be played here with picked niacs. For once Jim White appears to have stuck to his oft-repented determination to abandon base- ball. President Boot, of the Providence Claud, was in correspondence with James up to about a week ago, and offered him « liberal salary to play in Providence. James would not sign, how- ever, saying that in case he played anywhere it would be in Cincinnati. The Eckford Club has organized for the ensu- ing season with the following players: E. Kroft, A.
