The assertion that the market is averstocked with mates is doubtless 1rue enough, and there can, we fear, be very fittle doubt that owners and agents look more to keeping down the wages than to mising the standard of the officers; but all this only tends to strengthen the arguments put forward so ably by Fifty Dollars." Our own opinion is that if mates were better paid, a superior class of men would soon be available, and there would be lower-disastrous wrecks and strandings.
