The clearances to-day were only thirteen millions, showing the dul- mess of the market and the further work of the clique in diverting business from the Gold Bank, The carrying rate toward the close betrayed an increase of the short interest, descending, ag it aid, to four per cent, although the relaxation 18 due in . Bome degree to the greater ease in the open money market, STOCKS WEAK. ‘The stock market was heavy and declined without @0y special bear attack. It requires the steady ‘Dulling of the large operators to keep up prices, and the latter have sold out and are desirous of seemg Sho market settle before they go in again. The feature wus Rock Isiand, which sell to 1043; on renewed reports of an overissue of stock—sald to ‘be from 20,000 to 40,000 shares—which were 80 posi- ely asserted in some quarters that the Stock Ex- directed the appropriate committee to vestigate the charge. It will be remeurbered that thia same report was used a few weeks since to break the stock from 106 to 10134, at which point the etiques bought and turned it back to 108%. As they fave sold out at the latter point the story comes up afresh. The earnings of the road fell off $4,508 for fue second week in January, Next in activity was New Jersey Central, which declined to 983%, the . @Peculators having unloaded between 100 and 102 Lake Shore was stubborn, but yielded $0 84)¢. The consideration of tue lease of the Wa- Dash road has been indefinitely postponed, the con- ‘tracts between the two companies not expiring until May next. The Wabash directors have decided to {ssue new stock in the proportion of 27 shares for @ach 100 shares of the present capital, the holder of ‘the latter to be entitled to take it at twenty cents on the dollar. The par value of the new stock is about two and @ hail millions, The proceeds will there- fore be about half a miilion dollars, which the direct- Ora intend to devote to improvements, It will be remembered that af issue of stock for similar pur- Poses was made abouta year ago. Western Union Was strong over the cessation jOF the strixe, and Adams Express rose to 6454. TRE MONEY MARKEE! The money paid out by the government tor the bonds purchased yesterday came upon the street to-day and made loans very easy. Tue prevailing Yate all around was six per cent, but before the close of banking hours lenders were freely offering large amounts at tive per cent. Commercial paper felt the relaxation in call toans, nd the rate of discount for prime doupie name @cceptances was quoted at 71¢ to 10 per cent. GOVERNMENTS IMKAVY.

AD ar pared YARD BUILA V To Tar Eptror or THE Henan Thave read with great interest Mr. Dawes’ speech tn regard to the purchase of League Isiand. I wisi to add my expericnce—a practical mechanic in both Wood and tron. 1 bave watched the navy with much care, [never worked a day in the Navy Yard in my lite, If 1 did { suould consider myself unfit for outside employment. 1 am contident that for every dollar the Navy Department spends in the Navy Yard, the same amount of work could be done outside by private establishments for fifty per cent Jess than it costs in the yards, For every ship they build in the Navy Yard two ships could be built in outside establishments for the same amount of money, and I am almost contl- dent taat two and @ half could be built and @ better ship got in a private yard than in tue navy. There are more blunders in tho navy and worse calcula tions as to the displacement, speed and per. formance of @ ship than there would be tm @ private shipyard. A man who builds @ ship im @ private yara has bis reputation at stake; there is no one man tn the navy responsible for the performance of a ship. A naval constructor may model fis sup, he is not allowed to finish her; he 1s transferred to some other station; anoth takes his place, Almost all the former constructor work 18 changed or thrown away, Which In Wwany in- stances rutas tne performance of the slip, The sume applies to the enygimeer in outside yarus. A man Wio models and designs his stup bnisnes her, ln the navy the Mab WhO modeis her bas NO control over her guns or her armament, aad the ship is oftea Spoiled by overioading with too heayy guus. We have spent during the war over $500,00u,0vu, and we have not one Jirst Class ship to show for that vast expenditure, aud now the Navy Department 48 asking jor more money to build a new navy yard. Lam confident that the government ought to close up the navy yarda and never atiempt the construction of another ship. Our navy is Known, as man, by ils works, ‘Lue expenditare by the gov- ernment for another navy yard Would be a complete swindle on the public and should not be allowed. fue government cin do all its work in outside estabiisi- Tents for onc hall, and ouild fest ciass ships, not ships that can find no other port but the bottom of the oceuti, like our tron-clud fieet butit during the war under Mr. Weiles, Ali other nations build their silips in private yards. Our navy yards have now auluous of dollars’ worth of marme engines and boliers stored; houses, butit of iron, on purpose lor thetr reception, Which are of no vaiue Whatever but for scrap iron, wich should be solid at Ouce, An engine stamped with the name “ullt sor the Navy” condemns tt for private use, Tae govern- ment hag ulso large macaiue shops, tit cost mil- lions of dollars; they wil Keep tor centuries; tney are useful in times of War; tiey suonid not be ran m times of peace, as tie work can ve done at seventy-five per cent less outside. All those estab- lishments suould be kept intact. L once knew a Man who was discharged trom the Navy Yard, who made the following remark, ‘He did bot Know what they discharged tum for, he lad not done anything Tor three months.” { have been told witha iew months by good mechanics, who work in vie Navy Yard, that they could not find work ove hall ie Une, and they did not do one-hall the work in the yard, that they bad done tu privag; establish- ments, These are facts, Tue coayuy savuld stop all expenditures for a navy at once, and let us see where we are. Shere Was one change made by tne I oo ane in 1869, the alteration of the screw on if jay enn the expense was iarge enough to le Anip. All those alterations were mode wit the dash of the pen, without ever know- ing the results.

The New Ward sal Police Goutmiieion Pro jects—Hew the Radical Democratic Hirce ling is to Be Outgeneralied, While it is true that the excitement in Newark, N. J., over the action of Alderman Catn, of the Fieventh ward, has almost entirely disappeared, it 18 also true that considerable anxiety 1s feit in regard to what will really come out of the several propositions under discussion, looking to a speedy clearing out of the present republicam city officials and the substituaon of an entire new bacch of 4 democralic complexion, The democratic leaders have turned with disgust from all idea of lasning Cain ito line, and now look towards ‘Trenton for consolation aud solid comfort. The first proposition is the passage by the Legislature of a bul creating @ fourteenth ward. There are now but thirteen, Last Monday night a strong force of disappointed democrats, including the ‘party leaders,” ran down to Trenton, armed with a docu- ment in the form of a bill, providing for the creation of the new ward and the ‘appointment’ of two aldermen, both democrats, of course. On consulta- uon with several legislaiors, however, it was ad- mit Hh jat while the creation of the new ward was parte “regular” the appointment of aldermen was @ vate more than ihe Legisiature could do in decency.

The grand ques- et ae Newark poiitical circles 18 now, “Wu it pa There is a biblical saying somewhere in the New Testament to the effect that a house divided againat {self cannot stand. Now, tt seems, the democratic Assemblyinen of Hssex county are not united themsecives on the bill. One of them—Mr. Murphy—is reported to have Gisclosed that he would not vote for the measure unless the boundary line is altored so that some friend of his inay have a chance to be elected alderman. It can scarcely be expected Ibatif the ‘xX men Will not agree the disinter- ested representatives of otter districts will. Ani Low sor the other proposiion—the passage of @ bili creating & police commission, with Andrew A, Smaliey, David Anderson, Herman Schalk and John Dwyer aa the Cominissioners. The only objection to these gentiemen is that they are al) uncompromising democrats. Nothing would euit the taxpayers of Newark vetter than to lave mot only the Police Department, but the Fire Department | lifted boatiy out of politics, placed beyond the reaca and control Of partisans. AS things now are, no matter how eficient these organizations may become, just at the Moment, pervaps, when things are in good edt ale | order, a political change takes place aud the work of years of study aud experience 1s capsized com- pletely.

IJtis but just to say that for its size and fotge a better disciplined, more serviceable fire de- partment could nowhere be wud than in Newark at the present me.
