HAMBURG LETTER.
owing to the short time movement which is | | stendly adherąjį to, and erẹp, as some say, on the increase, yarns sad goods fed a ready sale, According to the latest reports 20 million spin- dies in Lancashire and Cheshire sro no working 40 hours a week instead of 554. Politics are a somewhat disturbing element at present, but unless the crop in the States turns out vory much larger, than we have been led to believe higher prices may be exproted in the summer, and perhaps svou before that.
It sues that the Kaiser is after all going for a cruies in the Mediterranean; his yacht. the Hohenzollera, has received orders to meet him at Genoa, where he will embark on Marek 4th. A spirit moter-launch will be carried by the Hohenzollera, for the Bret time, ne ak experiment. It is well known that the Emperor is noxious to see the use of spirits for fuel and other industrial purposes extended, as potato spirits are one of the principal products of agriculture in northern Germany,
[FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.]
Hamburg, 30th February. About this time last your I give you a few Agares from the annual report of the shipping master's offics of the Hamburg-America Line for 1992; from the one just issued for the past twelve months I gathor that the number of ocean-going steamers of that line supplied with crews by the offes has increased from 120 vessels with 8,809 hands to 126 with 8,886 er. In 1993 410 crews of 20,863 hands all told sigued. on in Hamburg and Cyrhaven against 380 of 19,199 mon last year; of those 633 wore offtears, 279 doctors, attendants, and nurses, 3,414 valors, 887 boys, about 7,500 engineers, stofors, and trim mers, 4,910 stewards, male and femalo, and the waal complement of bulobera, bakers, &o. 399 snowe, comprising in all 20,234 hands, were paid off against 398 of 19,819 mou in 1902. The number of enrolmente was highest in the month
The taxpayers in Hamburg have been agree- of May, when 2,070 men wors engaged, and lowest in November, when the figures dropped ably surprised by the proposal of the Senate to to 1,230. There were fewest discharges in reduce the locoas tax for the present year; Janary and February-987 in each month the surprise being all the greater as a threaten- and they were most numerous in April, vizing dolloit in the badget for 1903 induced the 3,259. Cases of desertion have again been on the incruaso, 1,353 having cccurred abroad against 1,082 is 1092 and 270 in Hamborg against a like number last year, or 1,620 in all. The North American ports seem to offer most attraction to runaways, whilst with regard to the time of the year, the summer and autama months are the worst. 17,952 men wore medically szamined bofors being taken on; of these 622 wire rejected as unfit on account of ill-health or on other reasons, amongst, which 110 for imperfect sight or colour blindness.

The effects of the strike are still severely fell in Crimmitschau. According to the Leipiger Tageblatt there are still 1,103 hands out of work not having been taken 02 again by the masters for some reason or other; many have left altoge ther. The feeling is vory bitter ngainst the landers of the movement, and is increasing the union ia intensity, particularly as of textile workers have reduced the weekly contribution to families where the wife alone is out of employment to M. J. Numerous letters in the Crimmitschauer Zeitung bear withens to the growing ill feeling, the burden of them all addressed to the instigators of the strike being; "Do not provoke a strike un- Iese warranted by circumstances; in this instance it was you alone who created discontent ameng's the hands, kindling and fanging their desiro for a fight," It will be curious to read the
reply of the Socialistic Press, to thess emane- tiona!
of
local Parliament last year not only to raise the tax itself, but also to alter the incidence so an to obtain a larger contribution from incomes exceeding M. 50,900. The tax is calculated, the afata of Hamburg by so-called “units par M. 1,000, ou a progressive scale, the "nuits increasing in proportion to the size the income; for instance, the unit" por M. 1,000, on an income of M. 1,000, is M. 1, oa one of M. 10,000, it amounts to Af. 6.75, on'one of M. 20,000 to M. 9. on one of M. 50,000 ɔ M. 11. Up to last year there was no augmentation for large. incomes, but since then the scale has been continued, and A. 100,000, for instance, now pay M. 11.59 unit. According to the requirements of the Exchequer the tax is fixed annually at so many units; last year it stood at BuTon, which it is now intended to reduce to 64 !

The tactical and administrative Sarawak advantages of a homogeneous squadron are so great that the principle of modern building policy in respoet of battleships is unquestion- ably to build in bomogeneous squadrons. The Job-re application of such a principle must, however, obviously be governed by the circumstances of the moment, and the price of a given ship.

The mea have also raised the question of the number of spprentices to be employed, but on this point they seem more willing to accept a compromise.
The failure of the old firm of Stephan Luer- moan and Son in Bremen, which was announced last work, will have taken the mercantile com- munity over with you as much by surprise as it did the commercial world here, although it is said that in banking circles the arm bad for some time pust not enjoyed the same credit it used to do. Dating from 1787, if I am not mis akon, it occupied caxing the last century a loading position amongst the private banks in the old Hanse town; the cause of the collapse is stated to have been heary losses in the ordinary course of basinees and on the cotton and coffee exchanges. The senior partner, Geh. Com. mersicurath Laermann, has absconded, and is wanted by the police for alleged systematic falsification of the books, extending over esveral years, and for the abatreotion of deposits. The Habilities are supposed to amount to something like 15 million marks, whereas the assets are not expected to exceed one million. An authen- tio statement, however, has not yet been issued, of the whilst these published by some newspapers are seen at a giance to be incomplete, London, Paris, and New York are accord- lug to them the principal sufferers; other placas, however, are misted altogether, for instance Hamburg, although it is rumoured that several firms hers have been let in more or less heavily. Of claims for losses on cotton and coffes I can trace none; which is the more extraordinary, as from what I hear the firm was entered in the Börsenregister." It a matter for congratulation that large a failure should not have been followed by a succession of others; so far only twe.frms of lessor importance have succumbed, and it is thonght that nothing further will happen.

This naturally leads me once more to the gigantic cotton "deal" in America which I have repeatedly mentioned in previous letters, and of which the weekly settlement of differences about ten days ago in Liverpool has, it is te be hoped, been the last act. The totel amount paid over on this occasion is variously estimated at from 2 to 4 millions sterling, which does not appear at all unlikely, the decline in values during the previous week bay.
