about sixty each from the second and third classes : land about eighty from the fourth class.« {Among those who are shaky are à | number of the leading athletes of the lacademy and many midshipmen who have generally maintained a high scholastic standing.! The midshipmen say that the examinations were much harder than usual, but this is denied by the instructors.Another reason given for the large | number of failures is that à regulation : forbids instructors to give any indication of the character of the examination, or \u201cdope\u201d as the midshipmen call it.Some naval officers make the explanation that many of the midshipmen believed the examinations would be particularly easy this year, owing | to the need of more officers, and failed to study as hard as they should.There is a possibility that the Acad- \"emic Beard may save some of the deficient midshipmen, or that the Secretary of the Navy or President may direct a further opportunity for those not too far below the mark.All of these ithings have been done beforr.FREIGHTS AND CHARTERS.New York, Feb.3\u2014The steamer market continued strong, but very little trading was Jone in this market, although freights of various kinds offered freely at full market rates.Quotations to Liverpool and London, 22d: Glasgow, 21d; cotton to Liverpool, per 100 tbs.$3.Charters\u2014Norwegian steamer, 130.- 000 cases petroleum.Port Arthur to the Far East, time basis, private terms, | prompt: Norwegian steamer, 1.468 i tons (previously), sugar, New York to Marseilles, 110s, prompt; Britsh steamer, 2.263 tons, sugar, Philadel- .phis to Queenstown, private terms, prompt; British steamer (previously), £5,000 quarters grain.Atlantic range to Bristol Channel.18s, with options, February: Britsh steamer, 27.000 quarters, same.February-March; Britsh steamer (previously), 25.000 quarters grain.Atlantic range.including Boston and Portland to West Britain, 15s 6d.with options.February: British steamer (previously), 27.000 quarters grain.Atlantic range to west coast of Italy, 228 6d.February: Italian steam.or 28,000 quarters, same, 23s, option Gulf loading, 25s, February; British steamer (previously).31,000 quarters grain, Gulf to Bristol Channel.1Rs, with options.February-March: British schooner, 124 tons.coal, Port Reading to St.John, N.B.$3.!

New York, Feb.3.\u2014The market settled down to its usual routine toot.[day with further genersl recoveries from the acute depression of the eafly days of the week.Trading was frequently spathetic, but the same lead- nited States Steel, Baldwin Locomotive, Crucible Steel and Mexican Petroleum\u2014more or less in order named, were again to the fore, Baldwin losing ground at the end.Rails were in better favor, with average gains of 1 to almost % points, but Erie was the conspicious feature, m aking additional recovery from its severe decline.Rock Island's active ity at higher prices was accepted as a natural response to the rather excellent exhibit of earnings, issued yester- y Additional substantial advancés were made by oils, motors and sugars, Texas SCompany making an extreme Texas Company making an extreme rise of 7 1-8 to 907 1-8, Willys Over- Sugar 7 to 207 and South Porto Rico Sugar 31 to 167.Familiar rumors and forecasts of { learnings were made to do fresh service in the munitions division and allied specisities.United States Steel's rise of & point to 84 1-8 was sttended by unconfirmed reports that the Steel Corporation had practically closed an enormous contract with the French government and metals were again stimulated by recognized trade conditions of the most optimistic charae- ter.Trading languished in the afternoon, dealings then being restricted largely to speculative issues, at best quots- tions of the session.Final prices eased here and there, but the net result represented many substantial gains.Total sales amounted to 684,000 shares.International affairs figured to the extenet that a more hopeful view was taken of the Lusitania controversy, while the increased weakness of francs and lives gave renewed interest to the approaching visit of our financiers to Europe.The highly prosperoms conditions of the steel industry were set forth in the annual report of the Republic Iron and Steel Company, whose net profits of $4,206,000 in\u2019 1915 com d with $1,869,000 in 1914, its surplus meanwhile increasing from $183,000 to $3,- 238,000.Leading railway systems like Burtington, Norfolk and Western, Louisville and Nashville and Chicago and North Western submitted December reports in which net gains ranged from $538,000 to $1,107,000, Burlington showing the maximum.Bonds were firm, with some increase of investment inquiry.Total sales, par value, $3,910,000, United States coupon 3's advanced 7-8 and coupon 4's 1-3 per cent on call.NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.\"| By private wire to Bruneau & Dupuis, Stock Brokers, 11, 13 and 18 Sault-su-Matelot Strast.Tel 1506.Open.High.Low.Close.Am Can com.68% 63% 6214 63% Am Car Fdy.68% 68% 071) 073 Am Ice .2834 20% 20% 20% Am Loco .67% 67% 6634 67 Am S & R.10134 103% 101% 101% Am Sug Ref.115% 113% 113% 113% Am T&T.18 .A or Ana Cop .86% 87% 8634 8754 Atchison .10436 104% 103% 104 Balt & Ohio.8934 89% 894 89% Beth Steel .468 47335 488 473K4 BRT .0056 803% 86% 86% Cat Petrol'm.3134 232} 31 38 CPR.171% 1718 176 1714 Cent Leather.53% 5334 53 s34 Ches & Ohio.63% 6314 62% 63 Colo F & 1.45% 46 Erle .3036 3034 383$ 38) do 1st pid.543$ 88 5454 644 Gas \u201cCon\u201d .138%4 13854 138 130 Gt Nor pfd.138 188 Ils Central .106_ A .Inter Met .17% 19% 17) 19% do pfd .18% FR.Kan City Sou.87 pit 7 274 Lehigh Val .17 71% 17 17% Mex Petrol'm.10634 100% 106% 10734 Missouri Pac.54% .Nat'l Lead .60% 70% 60% 69) Nevada Cons.184 .New Haven.45% 68% 67% 68 N Y Central 108% 108) 10834 106:4 Norf & West.113734 .North Pac .,114% 114% 11434 134% Penng .874 87H ST 8744 People\u2019s Gas107# .Press Stl Car.87% 87% 56% 57 Reading TU 9% 18% 0 Repl & 8B 8356 83% 83% 53% Studebaker .151% 183% 151 151) St.Paul .9734 08% 07H 08 Rubber .38) 83 53% 83 \u201cSoo\u201d com .188 198 198 183 South Pac .10034 101 10034 1003 South Ry .21% 28 3 3176 28 do pfd .00 .Third Ave .81 614 6 ei Utsh Cop .70% 70% 7 70% Union Pac .134 134% 13334 134 U 8 Bteel .09% 844 0% MK do pid .116% 116% 11634 116 Vie C C Co.46) 40% 4014 46% Westinghouse.6136 6736 6836 674 Wis Central.36% Baldwin .114% 116 11336 113 Crucible .7056 80% 79)4 00% Maxwell .1H N% NY NH Miami .37 87 0% » COTTON MARKETS, New York, Feb.3\u2014Cotton futures (closed steady, Closing bide: March, \u2018 « \u2018 4514 48% | poi C.W.WALCO, $Steoks and Bonds BOUGHT and SOLD, 98 0 PETER TRE NCOOUGALL § COWAS Sick Bros 116 MOUNTAIN MILL \"Phones: 1403 and 1408 H.& THOMSON, MANAGER 5% to 6 1-2% ARTHUR B.\"INBAU, Foor Me.aber, 4 Hospital St, Montreal BRUNEAU \u2018Phone 1306.POST à PLAGO - - - - A.A.GINGRAS \u2014 t\u2014\u2014\u2014 (Members Montreal Stock Esshange).: STOCK BROKERS, Direct Private Wire with: Orders Promptly Executed on all Maristsee & DUPUIS 11-18-18 Sault-eu-Matelot Strect % Wall Street, Now Yok 11.98c;

present was the information furnish- | ed to Mr.Kay of Missisquoi.The! French Government, however, is buying horses here for military purposes.There was no agreeraent on the; subject but both governments had! been urged by the Canadian authorities to purchase horses as largely as possible in Canada, the Prime Minister having in August last secured arrangements by which the French Government was permitted to pure) chase horses for military purposes here.A press statement that Canadian soldiers were to be paid by cheque in future to avoid paymasters charging up a higher rate of subsistence allowance than was received by the men ! was declared by the Minister of Militia greatly exaggerated.He stated there had been no loss to the department or public as all cases of such nature were adjusted and refunds made.In no case had iraud heen proven, and in every case where subsistence had been charged at a lower amount than allowed by the regulations the differences had been absorbed and accredited to regimental funds.In no cases was the money appropriated to personal use.Immigration Figures.That the war has reduced immigration, not only from the continent but from Great Britain and Ireland as well almost to the vanishing point i indicated by figures furnished hy the Minister of the Interior in the House today in reply to Mr.A.K.MacLean.Immigration from Austria-Hun- gary was in 1014, 7,647 and in 1915, 14;
