.The total number of vessels arrived in New York from foreign ports during the month of January were 439, consisting of 152 steamers, 29 ships, 115 barques, 71 brigs and 72 schooners.The totals during the same month in the preceding years were as follow :\u2014In 1882, 409 ;

British-owned vessels a decrease of 103; vessels lost off the United Kingdom a decrease of 250.The cargoes, consisting of produce of all kinds, amounted to 301,200 tons; but as a considerable portion of the goods carried were afterwards recovered as salvage, the quantity that perished is not represented by that total.The figures of the amount of corn carried in vessels wrecked are 24,105 tons, and of coal 73,621 tons.It will be seen from the above that more than one-half the number of vessels lost last year were owned in Great Britain and her colonies, and of that number more than one-third sank off Great Britain alone.During the past five years no less than 20,763 human beings have perished at sea.FINANCIAL.Monday next a great deal of paper falls due, and financial circles await with some degree of anxiety the result.The shares market to-day was weak and dull in consequence, and transactions , were limited.There i8 no change to report in the position of the money market, which is one of great firmness and likely to continue so for some time longer.The accomoda- tion to commercial borrowers is ample, and prime mercantile paper is readily negotiated at 7@74, and less desirable at 8 per cent.The ruling rate on call loans on stock collaterals is 7@74 per cent.The market for sterling exchange remains featureless at 8% for bankers\u2019 60-day bills, and 8% over the counter.Demand bills are firm at 93, and currency drafts on New York at § premium.The New York money market is easy at 3j@4 per cent.on call loans on stock collaterals.The N.Y.stock market developed more strength to-day though transactions were light.The lucal stock market was weak and flat pending the result of settlement day Monday next.Bank of Montreal were traded in at 207@2074, and Ontario changed hands at 1124.Peoples were quiet at 88@90, and Molsons at 1321@ 133.Around amount of Torento was aced at 1:64.Jacques Cartier were on offer at 115, with bids at 110, and Merchants were held firm at 127}, with bids at 1263.Holders of Eastern Townships ask 125, with buyers at 120, and Union were in offer at 95, with purchasers at 81 without business being done.Commerce sold steady at 136.Exchange were in limited offer at 172, ex-div., and Federal were inactive at 1574@1584, Montreal Telegraph were firm and unchanged at 124@1244.Richelieu were strong, and sales were effected at 66}.City Passenger were traded in to a small extent at 143.Gas declined from the opening at 189} to 1884 @ 188%.A few shares of Canada Cotton Company found a purchaser at 1174.North-West Land were quiet at 60s.bid, 61s.asked, and Canadian Pacific were steady at 61 @ 64.Canadian Pacific Land Grant were offering at 100}, with buyers at 974.The rest of the securities are nofhinally as quoted, The transactions were: \u2014 Montreal .160 at 207, 100 at 207} Outario.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.0008 .100 at 1124 Toronto .\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.cesssess 50 at 1864 Commerce .Ceeraee aan +o.100 at 136 Richelieu .\u2026\u2026\u2026.\u2026osecseu .125at 66} City Passenger.eo eraens 1D at 143 Gas.125 ac 1894, 150 at 1884, 100 at 188% Canada Cotton Co.\u2026.\u2026.« 25 at 1174 The following are the quotations of the stock market as reported by Mr.D.Lorn MacDougall :\u2014 SB LT) EP, 25 STOCKS.ER lens Se) se \\ dE LET 2g PETER ar gs Bauk of Montreal.$200 2 p.c.| 2071, 206: Ontario Bank.100 8 p.c.! 1124] 112 Bank B.N.A.£50 18 p.C.j.«-00 fo++ue Banque du People 50 |24p.c.| 90, 88 Molsons Bank.| 50 [3kp.c.| 133 | 1824 Bank otToronto.100 {Bip c.| 187 | 1864 Bank Jacques Cartier | 25 Bip.c.Merchants Bunk.100 13jp.c.Bank «\u2019Hocheluga.| 100 8 p.c.!

collision aud 2 missing.The list comprises 4 steamers, 1 ship, 11 barques, 4 brige and 15 schooners.; .The total number of vessels arrived in New York from foreign ports during the month of January were 439, consisting of 152 steamers, 29 ships, 115 barques, 71 brigs and 72 schooners.The totals during the same month in the preceding years were as follow :\u2014In 1882, 409 ; in 1881, 487 ; in 1880, 662 ; in 1879, 587; in 1878, 595 : and in 1877, 465.The total number of clearances for foreign ports durin the month of January was 415 vessels, of which 143 were steamers, 25 ships, 135

recently been published of the blast furnaces in Great Britain and which has been corrected to the 31st of December, 1882, shows that out of 963 furnaces erected 575 were in operation, while at the beginning of 1882 the;e were 555 furnaces at work out of 968 erected.\u2014The German Fishery Society has petitioned the Reichstag to make a grant of 10,000 marks, chiefly to enable Germans to take part in the approaching London Fishery Exhibition.It is desired that an official delegate should represent this Empire in London in connection with the enterprise.\u2014A scheme has just been set on foot to make a ship canal from the Tyne to the Solway Firth.An eminent engineer is engaged on the necessary survey,and plans and estimates will shortly be made public.Notice of motion in favor of the project has been given by a member of the New castle Town Council.The distance from sea to sea is about 80 miles, of which about a dozen are now navigable to large ships.\u2014Some indication of the rapid advance which is Leing made by the Japanese people in the path of progress and civilization is afforded by the tenth report of the Postmaster-General of Japan for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1881.The number of books, newspapers and letters tranemitted during the twelve months was upward of 83,000,000, showing an increase of nearly 20 per cent, as compared with the previous fiscal year, and 49.3 per cent, as against 1870.The aggregate length of all the mail routes in operation was 48,475 English miles.The total number of pust offices is now 4,819, and the net profit derived from the department amounted for the period mentioned to 76,600 yen ($90,000).\u2014Tha Lumberman\u2019s Gazette reports a prominent railroad man as saying that paper rails must supersede steel and iron rails on railroads.Ie had just been examining a sample, which was so solid that the sharpest spike could not be driven 1n- toit.The cost per mile, he said, is less Ly one-third than that of steel, and they will last much longer.There is no expansion or contraction from heat and cold, consequently no loose or open joints, and, being so much lighter than steel or iron, the rails can be made longer and connections perfectly solid, making the road as smooth as one continuous rail.The adhesion of the drivers of the engine to this material will he greater than that of steel, consequently the same weight engine will have a larger load.There will be a great saving of fuel, the smoothness of the rail will lessen the wear and tear of rolling stock, and, to say nothing of the difference in first cost, the reduction in machinery and repairs will be a big item.\u2014One thousand seven hundred and ninety actual shipwreeks were reported throughout the world last year, representing an aggregate tonnage of 631,326 tons.Compared with the previous year there was a decrease in the number of wrecks of 249, Off the coasts of England, Scot- 130d and Ireland 576 vessels went down AND DAILY COMMERCIAL VOL.LXXV.\u2014No.30.MONTREAL, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 18883.PRICE, THREE CENTS.of which 445 were reported as British | owned sailers and steamers, the remainder including 40 Norwegian and Swedish, 32 German, 16 French, 8 Danish.The total number of British-owned vessels lost in all parts of the world was 945, of which 226 were steamers.Ninety-six steamers were owned in foreign parts, the tonnage of British steamers being 163,914 tons, and of foreign steamers 57,037 tons, ora |E total of 220,951 tons.One hundred and thirty-nine vessels sank through collision, and of this total 93 sank off the British coasts, The number abandoned at sea was 143.Ten were destroyed by fire.The lives lost amounted to 4,129, Against the previous year the lives lost show a decrease of five; British-owned vessels a decrease of 103; vessels lost off the United Kingdom a decrease of 250.The cargoes, consisting of produce of all kinds, amounted to 301,200 tons; but as a considerable portion of the goods carried were afterwards recovered as salvage, the quantity that perished is not represented by that total.The figures of the amount of corn carried in vessels wrecked are 24,105 tons, and of coal 73,621 tons.It will be seen from the above that more than one-half the number of vessels lost last year were owned in Great Britain and her colonies, and of that number more than one-third sank off Great Britain alone.During the past five years no less than 20,763 human beings have perished at sea.FINANCIAL.Monday next a great deal of paper falls due, and financial circles await with some degree of anxiety the result.The shares market to-day was weak and dull in consequence, and transactions , were limited.There i8 no change to report in the position of the money market, which is

covered bursting from the cellar windows of Messrs.J.W.Hannan & Co.\u2019s hard ware establishment, at the corner of Craig and St.Peter streets.The alarm was romptly given and the firemen as prompt- y responded.The cellar in which the fire was raging was filled with African fibre used for upholstering purposes, which is very inflammable in nature, and causes a very heavy smoke.Several streams were soon playing on the flames, which were extinguished after some damage.The damage 18 not great, amounting probably to not over $500.Sr.CUNEGONDE, February 3.\u2014 Shortly before five o\u2019clock this morning the men of the Ste.Cunegonde Fire Department were called out by an alarm from box No.16 to attend a fire which had broken out in the newly established Match Cowpany\u2019s fac: tory, on the corner of Vinet and Cana streets.When the firemen arrived on the scene the flames had already obtained mastery over the greater portion of the premises, which were of wood, and noi withstanding all their efforts the whole | building was destroyed in about an hour.The peculiar location of the factory necessitated the use of about 700 feet of hose, and the force of water necessarily was weaker than it would otherwise have been, The flames were confined to the premises in which they originally broke out.The damage, including building, stock, &e., is about $18,000, but it is said the insurance is ample to cover all the loss.KirgsviLe, Mo, February 3.\u2014On Thursday night a hotel and five other buildings were burned.While a drug store was burning there was a serious ex fosion,
