Since the issue of our Circular dated the 7th inst., owing to the extreme anxiety on the part of some of the importers, a general decline of fifty cents to a dollar-and-a-half per bale has been established in our yarı market, Notwithstanding this decline, dealers as well as speculators are by no means anxious to resume operations in consequence of unfavourable reports from the interior, coupled with a fear of a further |decline in the near future.

IMPROVEMENTS IN BATTLESHIP DESIGN.
Engineering severely criticises the Ad-
miralty for not adopting improved designs for battleships at an earlier period. A year ago, says our contemporary, when the Admiralty were considering the design for three new hattleships, they were strongly urged, both in Parliament and by experi- enced writers, to increase the armåment of the vessels. At the last moment the Board, however, decided to adopt the plans of the

The battleships of this year's programme, two of which are to be built by contract, are superior in respect especially of gun-power and of the destri- bution of armour; and the question natur. ally arisen as to why, a year ago, the features of this new Lord Nelson could not have been adopted.

guns is of greater length, and therefore of considerably higher power. A year ago the 6-in. weapon had been proved defective against modern armour, and to order thot vessels of the King Edward class, with such guns, was a retrogressive step. In regard to the smaller weapons for the repelling of torpedo and submarine bost attack, the new ships will have a considerably increased battery, there being fifteen guns firing 19- Ib. shot and twenty-two firing 3-16. shót, with five submerged tubes for the discharge. of torpedoes. In respect of armour, too, the new vessels will be superior, the more important parts of the ship being protected by carburised plating, of a thickness more likely to exclude shell than the 9-in. armour on the vessels of the King Edward class. The collective energy of the Lord Nelson's primary guns will be about 430,000 foot-tops, as compared with 272,000 foot- tona in the case of the ships of the King Edward class. This and other advantages has been realised without materially adding to the displacement tonnage of the ship. There are losses in the balance: ope cannot have all the perfections without increased weight or cost and here there is a slight reduction in speed and an increase in beam, which latter reduces the number of dooks into which the vessel may enter. The Dew ships will be of slightly greater draught than the old, and practically of the same freeboard, but the beam has been increased from 77 ft. 9 in. to 79 ft. 6 in., in order that the length may be decreased from 425 ft. to 410 ft., A reduction of 15 ft. in the length to be protected by armour, &c., is an important gain; but it is a matter for serious consideration whether such an advantage is not dearly bought when the beam is increased to an extent which will ultimately reduce the nujuber of graving docks suitable for the admission of the vessels. Experience during the war has proved that while the battleship attacked by the torpedo is fairly safe, the damage done is so extensive that the vessela: must occupy docks for very considerable periods of time, and with vesels of practically. 80 it, beam, and only two or three docks. capable of admitting them, the situation, may become serious. The new vessels will steam at 18 knots, as compared with the 18 knots of the King Edward class. The displacement tonnage

The amount of business transacted from Saigon to this has again been limited and, in consequence of higher grain prices at first mentioned port, rates of freight have a little and cannot be quoted dropped better than 23 conta per picul.

The Saigon Philipp. market has assumed a somewhat healthier aspect and fresh chartering has come to pass at 35 cents per picul, though a very prompt boat had to be satisfied with 21 cents. Further tonnage is inquired for in this direction and rates are likely to remain steady as suitable
ataajnery are scarce.
There has been some further demand from Saigon for Java porta, about middle of November leading, but rator quotud viz. 31/32 cents per pical have not been aufficiently tempting to influence business; especially for forward delivery, higher idosa #re entertained.

Yet, even to-day in the direction of reform nothing has been accomplished, there is no change in the order of thinga, night or day,- and the whole world already knows that Japan never intended reform, and what has Japan done about the independence of Korea ?

He noticed the others wore helmets, and being a recruit he naturally got confused. In his confusion he dropped his carbine. Then an order came Right Turn.' Round went the guard, but not to the right, and it was only after some man. euvring that they reached the lines. "Another gunner, also a recruit, spent most of the time he was on guard doing sentry duty. Where, then, were the other mem- bere of the guard? Were they asleep in the guard tent, knowing they had a recruit on whom they could impose? I wonder.
During yesterday afternoon we honoured by the presence of a number of visitors, among whom were several ladies. The visitors, all of whom were friends, either of Volunteers or Officers, passed round, and remained until late in the afternoon.

There were recruits among them, as the results attained would show. At 200. yards, firing with carbines, cordite am- munition, the best score with seven shots was 19, while there were several ducks.' At 300 and 500 the shooting improved, but when the totals were added up it was found that two or three of the recruits had not even hit the target once out of the twenty-one shots they had fired off, while one man had only hit it once, and almost all had missed it at least once. Somo There appears to me to be no objection blamed the carbine, others the ammunition, others the glare, but fow blamed them- selves. Perhaps the carbines had some thing to do with it, for bent 'sights were common, and it is stated that they are all condemned. One carbine would not dis- charge a cartridge, even.
