Steurner, de Bromberg, dont les chiffres ont été revisés avec soin par le Railroad Gazette des Etats-Unis, que les chemins de fer de l'Europe couvrent, en ce moment, une étendue de 138,992 kilomètres; ceux de l'Asie, de 12,228 kil; ceux de l'Amérique du Nord, y compris le Mexique et le Canada, de 127,230 kil.; ceux de l'Amérique méridionale, de 5,922 kil; ceux de l'Afrique, de 2,322 kil.; ceux de l'Australie, de 2,803 kil, et ceux de l'Amérique centrale, de 894 kil.; en tout: 290,391 kil.\n\nEn supposant que ces voies ferrées supportent 100 tonnes de fer par kilomètre courant, nous trouverions que le total du fer et de l'acier posé sur les chemins du monde représenterait un poids de 23,040,000 tonnes.\n\nC'est de la légère progression des réseaux existants et du remplacement des rails sur les réseaux anciens que dépend la grande industrie sidérurgique. Le calcul nous démontrerait aisément que ces besoins de la consommation ne sont, partout, que trop amplement pourvus par les innombrables laminoirs des grands centres producteurs.\n\nDans les chiffres cités plus haut sont compris 11,176 kil. de voies nouvelles mis en exploitation dans le monde pendant l'année dernière, et qui n'ont pas absorbé moins de 1,117,000 tonnes de rails pour leur construction.\n\nLa consommation des rails aux Etats-Unis, en tonnes, depuis l'année 1871, peut s'établir comme suit:\n\nImportation\nFabrication indigène\nConsommation\n\n1871\n\n755,733 tonnes\n\n1872\n\n518,000 (fer) 50,701 (acier)\n890,077 tonnes\n\n1873\n381,064 (fer) 149,786 (acier)\n1,341,434\n1,530,850\n\n1874\n159,071 (acier)\n1,148,849\n729,413 tonnes (fer)\n\n1875\n7,796 (fer) 100,000 (acier)\n837,695\n810,770\n\nCes chiffres fournissent pour les cinq années une moyenne annuelle de 1,133,917 tonnes de rails livrés à la consommation, en regard desquels il est bon de se rappeler un accroissement du réseau équivalent à une moyenne de 6,963 kilomètres par an, mais qui, de 12,472 kilomètres en 1871 et de 9,867 kilomètres en 1872, est tombé brusquement à 3,041 kilomètres en 1874 et à 3,067 kilomètres en 1875. Du 1 janvier au 1er juillet de la présente année, 1,333 kilomètres nouveaux ont été livrés à la circulation.\n\nEn déduisant pour l'année 1873 le chiffre approximatif de 181,020 tonnes de rails neufs employés à la construction des voies nouvelles, il nous reste 949,897 tonnes de rails pour atteindre la moyenne de la consommation totale de rails aux Etats-Unis. Ce dernier chiffre représente un remplacement annuel moyen de 6.32 tonnes par kilomètre de voie posée et nous indique pour le rail américain une longévité de 9 ans et demi environ. Rappelons ici que près de 20,000 kilomètres, portant un million de tonnes d'acier, viennent allonger la durée générale des rails aux Etats-Unis.\n\nPARTIE COMMERCIALE.\n\nREVUE GÉNÉRALE.\n\nRien de saillant à signaler cette semaine dans la marche des affaires industrielles et commerciales. Certaines branches sont toujours vivement affectées par les variations de la politique internationale; quelques-unes en profitent; la plupart cependant en souffrent. A l'étranger, en Europe, la situation laisse relativement bien plus à désirer qu'en France. A l'outre-mer, les Etats-Unis continuent à être absorbés par les préoccupations électorales, et les transactions sont limitées à la satisfaction des besoins urgents.\n\nDe nos Antilles, rien de bien intéressant; on y a accueilli avec beaucoup de satisfaction la nouvelle de la hausse des sucres, qui va donner un peu de reprise à la malheureuse industrie de ces régions; il va lui permettre enfin de faire les dépenses nécessaires pour mettre son matériel et sa fabrication au niveau perfectionné atteint par la production des sucres indigènes.\n\nDe Porto-Rico, nous recevons quelques renseignements sur le terrible ouragan qui a dévasté cette île. La plus grande partie de la récolte des cafés a été perdue, aussi bien que celle du riz et des vivres. Toutes les plantations de cannes à sucre ont plus ou moins été éprouvées, principalement celles où la canne avait atteint toute sa croissance. Il est à craindre qu'un grand déficit n'en résulte. Les sinistres maritimes ont été excessivement nombreux; on a pu en compter 45 pour l'île seulement.\n\nA la Plata, la situation continue à s'améliorer.\n\nOn nous communique deux documents consulaires importants que nous croyons devoir porter à la connaissance de nos lecteurs. Le premier est le texte d'une circulaire adressée par le département d'Etat des Etats-Unis à ses agents consulaires de France, Grande-Bretagne, Suisse, Italie, Autriche, Belgique et Allemagne. Cette circulaire est relative aux échantillons de marchandises à importer aux Etats-Unis, et qui sont déposés dans les bureaux consulaires pour être envoyés aux douanes américaines.\n\nLes échantillons sont en triplicata. Mais beaucoup sont disposés d'une manière défectueuse: on ne peut les séparer sans les endommager; ceux envoyés sont simplement sur cartes d'échantillons qui permettent d'établir facilement leur identité avec les envois qu'ils accompagnent, et c'est ce mode d'expédition qui paraît être le plus pratique et le plus recommandable. Il faut donc s'attacher à envoyer lesdits échantillons attachés à une sorte de carton, autant que cela sera possible.\n\nComme règle, les échantillons ne devront pas excéder la taille d'un carton mesurant 7 pouces 1/4 de long sur 4 de large. Quand l'échantillon dépassera la dimension du carton, ce dernier devra lui être cloué ou attaché par quelque moyen analogue.\n\nL'autre document est relatif à la modification des droits consulaires et de transfert en Espagne.\n\n1o Les droits pour le transfert (sous pavillon national) des navires étrangers et pour la vente des navires espagnols, établis par les articles 41 et 42 des tarifs, sont réduits, dans les deux cas, à 1/2 % de la valeur des navires, au lieu de 1 %, droit actuel;\n\n2o Les droits auxquels ces quatre articles réferent sont définitivement supprimés;\n\n3o A leur place, il est ordonné qu'il soit payé, pour l'examen des livres présentés par les expéditeurs pour être compris dans les manifestes que les capitaines sont astreints à présenter à l'administration des douanes, à leur arrivée à destination, un droit de 20 à 50 centièmes de peseta par chaque tonne de 1,000 kilogrammes, ou fraction de tonne déclarée, suivant les règles suivies pour les autres droits dans le tarif. Afin de vérifier l'exactitude desdits envois, le consul demandera au capitaine une copie du connaissement correspondant à chaque envoi;\n\n4o Un droit égal sera levé sur les marchandises importées par terre; il devra être spécifié sur la note de l'envoyeur de ces marchandises;\n\n5o Le droit établi pour les Etats de l'Europe, et pour ceux de l'Afrique et de l'Asie, sur les côtes de la Méditerranée et de la mer Noire, sera applicable aux parties de l'Afrique situées sur l'Atlantique jusqu'aux frontières de la Sénégambie;\n\n6o Afin que ces modifications puissent être appliquées partout à la même date, et afin d'éviter toute plainte, les nouvelles dispositions devront être mises en vigueur à partir du 15 novembre, dans toutes les chancelleries consulaires à l'étranger.\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nLes affaires maritimes ont été assez calmes cette semaine. La concurrence, étant fort grande, maintient cependant les frets très-bas, notamment ceux par steamers, chargeant dans nos ports en escale.\n\nVoici les tarifs du fret perçus sur la ligne des Antilles de la Royal Mail Company. Les départs de cette ligne ont lieu de Southampton trois fois par mois, et les marchandises qui lui sont destinées sont généralement chargées, au Havre, sur les paquebots qui font le service régulier trois fois par semaine, le lundi, le mercredi et le vendredi avec Southampton.\n\nParis de Destination\nMarchandises communes\nMarchandises ordinaires\n\nBarbade\nfr. 81 30\n\nDemerara\nfr. 81 30\n\nSte-Lucie, St-Vincent, Grenade\nfr. 84 30\nfr. 115\n\nPort-Limon\n\nfr. 180\n\nGreytown\nfr. 311 43\n\nSamara, Sun-Domingue\nfr. 128 30\nfr. 144 30\n\nPorto-Plata\nfr. 100 40\n\nJacmel\nfr. 136\n\nJamaïque\nfr. 84 38\nfr. 119\n\nPort-au-Prince\nfr. 77 50\nfr. 161\n\nSavanilla\nfr. 100 40\n\nGuayra, Curaçao, Carthagène\n\nfr. 136\n\nSt-Jean-de-Porto-Rico, Naguabo, Arroyo, Ponce, Kayaguez, Aguadilla\nfr. 77 50\nfr. 108\n\nSt-Thomas\nfr. 84 50\nfr. 118\n\nSt-Kitts, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Antigua\nfr. 100 40\nfr. 114 30\n\nMartinique\n\nfr. 400 40\n\nHavane\nfr. 63 50\nfr. 87 70\n\nVera-Cruz\nfr. 100 40\nfr. 122\n\nCentre-Amérique\nfr. 77 50\nfr. 108\n\nPunta-Arenas, San-Juan-del-Sur, Corinto, Amapala, La Guayra, La Libertad, Acajutla, San-José-de-Guatemala\nfr. 70 50\nfr. 144 30\n\nRealejo, Sessegapa, Chum-perico\n\nfr. 122\n\nSud Pacifique\n\nBuenaventura\nfr. 61 60\nfr. 415\n\nEsmeralda, Tumaco, Manta, Guayaquil\n\nfr. 198\n\nPayta\n\nfr. 414 30\n\nCallao\nfr. 35\nfr. 198\n\nLambayeque, Casma, Huau-chaco\n\nfr. 191 80\n\nIslay, Mollendo, Arica, Iquique, Cobija, Caldera, Coquimbo, Valparaiso\nfr. 20\nfr. 147 40\n\nNord Pacifique\n\nAcapulco, Manzanillo, Muzatlan, San-Francisco\nfr. 119 0\nfr. 191 80\n\nHonolulu\n\nfr. 170 80\n\nVictoria (le Vancouver)\n\nfr. 181 80\n\nJapon et Chine\n\nfr. 170 80\n\nLe tout par les pieds cubes anglais, primage compris.\n\nVoici maintenant le tarif spécial perçu pour le transport des espèces. Pour les ports compris sur la liste précédente, entre la Barbade et Trinidad: 1 3/16 % pour les espèces, la bijouterie, les pierreries et l'horlogerie; 2 3/16 % pour l'argenterie. Pour les ports compris entre la Havane et Panama, respectivement, 1 7/16 % et 1 11/16 %. Pour les ports compris entre Punta-Arenas et Valparaiso, 2 15/16 % et 3 11/16 %, respectivement.

Pour les ports de Tahiti, Honolulu, Victoria, du Japon et de la Chine, 3 7/16 % et 3 3/16 %, respectivement.\n\nLa même Compagnie effectue deux départs réguliers par mois sur le Brésil et la Plata.

En décembre, nous avons ceux d'un steamer de la ligne Lamport and Holt, qui a pris partie de son fret à fr. 25, et ceux de la ligne Quesnel, effectués par les steamers de la ligne Allan. Le steamer qui effectue le départ de décembre est le Phoenician, qui a pris fret à fr. 23 et part le 12 courant.\n\nMM. D. Genestaal et Delzons nous informent, enfin, qu'ils ont en charge, au Havre, un steamer, le Mississippi, pour New-Orléans. Ce steamer prend de la marchandise, avec connaissements directs du Havre, jusqu'au 8 décembre, aux prix suivants: New-Orléans, shill 40 par 40 pieds cubes anglais; Galveston, 55; Indianola, 55; Brazos-de-Santiago, 75; Corpus Christi, 45; Memphis, 45; Louisville, 45; Vicks-bourg, Nashville, 55; Evansville, 55; Saint-Louis, 50; Cincinnati, 40; Chicago, 60; Milwaukee, 88. — Le tout, plus 10 % pour primage.\n\n737\n\nToutes les indications de prix de fret données ci-dessus sont sous toutes réserves.\n\nCÉRÉALES. Malgré des apports meilleurs que la semaine dernière, la hausse a fait encore de nouveaux progrès sur les derniers marchés dont les avis nous soient parvenus. Lille, Lunéville et Sentis annoncent une nouvelle faveur de 50 centimes par 100 kil.; Patay, 50 centimes par 120 kil; Gallardon et La Loupe, 1 franc; à Coulonniers les prix sont restés fermes, et à Hon-dain on ne signale aucun changement.\n\nA l'exception de Patay, où l'on constate une légère hausse de 25 centimes, les avoines sont sans variation. A Paris, les offres ont été plus importantes qu'il y a huit jours, mais les vendeurs demandent généralement de 50 à 75 centimes de plus par 100 kil.\n\nLe calme qui s'est produit sur les farines de commerce rend la meunerie hésitante, et elle veut attendre jusqu'au dernier moment pour acheter; ce pendant, quelques affaires traitées dans la matinée et aussi dans l'après-midi établiraient déjà une hausse de 25 à 30 centimes par quintal, faveur qui porte principalement sur les blés roux de bonne qualité courante et sur les qualités inférieures.\n\nLe marché s'est terminé avec un peu de lourdeur, la vente présentant plus de difficulté vers la fin.\n\nNous cotons: blés blancs de choix nouveaux, fr. 31 à 31.30; dito ordinaires, fr. 30.50 à 30.75; roux nouveau choix, 30.25 à 30.50; dito ordinaires, fr. 29 à 30; blé vieux, fr. 27.50 à 28.30.\n\nLa culture tient ses blés de 50 à 75 centimes de plus par 100 kil, et a pu vendre quelques petits lots à 25 et 50 centimes de plus que mercredi dernier.\n\nLa rareté des offres de seigles diminue beaucoup l'importance des transactions. Les demandes sont toujours nombreuses pour l'Est et le Nord; mais les acheteurs hésitent à payer les prix demandés pour les quelques lots présentés.\n\nNous cotons de fr. 21 à 22 à 21.50 des 100 kil en gare d'arrivée ou sur bateau à Bercy.\n\nLes offres en orge ne sont pas plus nombreuses que mercredi dernier, et les vendeurs demandent les mêmes prix. La demande est assez suivie, et l'on obtient facilement fr. 24 à 25 à 22.50 pour les belles orges blanches; les bonnes qualités courantes ont acheteurs de fr. 21.50 à 22 et les sortes inférieures valent de fr. 20.50 à 21.25 les 100 kil. en gare d'arrivée.\n\nLa demande en escourgeon conserve la même activité; les vendeurs tentent de relever leurs prix, et demandent de fr. 21.50 à 21.75 des 100 kil en gare d'arrivée. Les acheteurs ne veulent pas dépasser les cours du marché précédent. Les affaires s'engagent difficilement, mais l'on peut constater aujourd'hui beaucoup de fermeté sur cet article.\n\nHUILES SPIRITUELLES. - Nouvelle hausse de 5 c. sur le rapproché et de 50 c. sur les termes éloignés pour l'huile de colza. La demande reste encore peu active, aujourd'hui; mais les offres ne sont pas nombreuses et l'on constate en culture une grande fermeté.\n\nHuiles de lin, sans variation sur hier, mais tendance plus ferme. Les cours des spiritueux semblent mieux assis et accusent une meilleure tendance: les différentes affaires traitées ne s'écartent pas sensiblement des prix cotés; cependant, nous avons vu demander les 4 premiers mois à fr. 72, pendant qu'on les offrait en même temps à fr. 71.50. Les 4 mois d'été sont nominaux. Circulation ce jour, 100 pipes. Stock à Paris, 14,400 pipes.\n\nSUCRES. Voir plus loin la Revue spéciale de votre collaborateur M. J. Bivort.\n\nCAFÉS. - MM. Fred, Holh and C nous écrivent de Londres:\n\nPar suite de folle de plus en plus réduite, les affaires sont très-limitées et ne présentent plus d'intérêt. Les Ceylan Plantation, sous la pression d'arrivages de 500 tonneaux et d'expéditions plus considérables, annoncées de Colombo par télégraphe, ont fléchi de 1 s. 6d; par contre, les sortes de bon ordinaire ont éprouvé une amélioration de la même importance.\n\nEn cafés Rio et Santos, environ 2,000 sacs ont été adjugés, les premiers ayant été pris pour le Levant dans le prix de 62 s. à 67 s., pour common to low channel et jusqu'à 76 s. pour fully fair channel, les derniers pour le continent de 63 s. à 74 s. pour good ordinary mixed to good pale.\n\nA dater du 24, nous avons à signaler la vente des chargements fair channel Rio, par Gesina, 4,000 sacs; Jacob Lands-trom, 3,830 sacs; Sophia Amalia, 3,210 sacs à 69 s. pour Trieste, de sorte qu'il n'en reste plus d'offert du tout.\n\nLe résultat de la vente de Hollande a entièrement satisfait les attentes qu'on en a eues sur notre marché, et, à en juger d'après les avis des ports voisins, il a produit la même impression favorable sur le continent. Hambourg cote réel ordinaire Rio à 71 pf.; ventes de la semaine, 25,000 sacs.\n\nLe calme paraît continuer sur le marché aux Etats-Unis; notre dépêche annonce: Marché nominal.\n\nNos derniers avis de Rio sont datés du 24 courant et sont comme suit:\n\nVentes depuis le 10 novembre pour Canal et Lisbonne, 14,000 sacs; dito, Méditerranée, 4,000 s.; dito, les Etats-Unis, 94,000 s.; recettes journalières, 8,800 s.; stock, 135,000 s.; good tiest, 6,400 reis, superior, 6,400 reis; change sur Londres, 25 1/2 d. prix du chargement fair to good channel Rio 69 s. 6d, fret inclus, sans commission; marché ferme; bonne demande pour toutes les sortes.\n\nVentes à Santos depuis le 10 novembre pour Canal et Lisbonne, 10,000 sacs; dito, les Etats-Unis, 16,000 s.; recettes journalières, 3,100 s.; stock 65,000 s.; prix d'un chargement fair to good channel 76 s. 9d fret, inclus, sans commission; marché ferme.\n\nD'après une dépêche de Colombo, datée 21 novembre, l'exportation s'est élevée pendant la dernière quinzaine à 1,870 tonnes contre 447 tonnes; depuis le 30 septembre à 2,091 tonnes contre 4,457 tonnes.\n\nNous devons à J.

The local police called the Commander of the Peninsular contract steamer \"Lady M.

The Officer, however, succeeded in attracting the attention of the Captain of the steamer, and claimed his protection, but he declined interfering until he had consulted the British Consul. He accordingly repaired to the Consulate, and in answer to his application, was informed by Mr. Wilthew that, in his opinion, the officers in question had no right whatever to detain the other officer, who was merely a passenger as they themselves were: that he had a perfect right to land whenever it suited him, and that the Prefect and his party had no kind of jurisdiction on board the mail-packet. On returning to his ship the Captain at once ordered the release of the Officer, who went on shore, and shortly afterwards proceeded on his way to Arequipa.\n\nThe Captain accounted for his indecision, when called upon to protect the Officer in question, by saying that he was in doubt how to act, owing to the Officer having been detained by a Government authority. In reporting the case home, Consul Wilthew asked for instructions for his guidance under similar circumstances in future, and upon the advice of the Queen's Advocate, to whom the question was referred, he was told that Her Majesty's Government approved the course which he had pursued on that occasion, but that he was to exercise a careful discretion in all cases of a similar description; that he was not to claim upon principle for British Merchant-vessels in Peruvian ports a right of exemption from the jurisdiction of local authorities; but that he might properly remonstrate against the exercise of any such authority as a breach of usage and comity, except in very extreme cases.\n\nWith regard to Mail-Steamers, Mr. Wilthew was\n\n177\n\nPage 180\n\nPage 181",

But, he added, that the placing a guard on board the mail-packets would confer on such vessels for the time being the privilege of ship of war; in fact, to giving them, in so far as regarded belligerents, a Commission, for that, as a general rule, an uncommissioned or merchant ship in port was\n\nPage 79\n\n[79]\n\nE\n\n178",

Even thus the actual state of the piece does not appear very well. But for anyone accustomed to these ceramics the actual sherd immediately suggests bronze. Its colour is a black slatish-grey and it appears as if freely modelled. M. Pelliot exclaimed \"poterie des seigneurs\" on seeing the piece and when I offered to compare a Chinese bronze from the Chin Shih so, he said that he had no need of the book—it was too obvious. Fragment 16 was found at site 26 (which is on the mainland) but Lamma has given fragment 17 with another similar piece and these are exactly the same pattern but not so deeply modelled. Now it is this modelling that must first be felt and understood. Figure 16 eliminates the depth and the double-F appears very markedly; try in looking at Pl. 33 to see the raised ground between the \"double F\" incuse demarcations and realise that this is the real pattern. It is a kind of triquetra on top of a trunk-stem.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\n11.\n\nVol. III, Nos. 3 and 4.\n\nFigure 2.\n\nA\n\nB\n\nC\n\nSketch of unit details of pattern; C, fragment 16; A, its mirror image; B, bronze bell of figure 3.\n\nOne might describe it as group of three bird-heads divergent from one stoutish neck or as an inept sketch of a three-bladed electric fan (see text figure 2, C and A). Many of the readers will say, \"I can't see: it is all your imagination.\" Well, I know that the reproduction because of the difficulties of lighting on the almost black colour (a kind of bucchero ware) makes recognition very difficult but I can adduce one argument to confirm my point. The surface between the deep depressions is not flat but is modelled with a distinct rim projecting above the normal level and running along the edge of the depressions thus emphasizing the surface spaces as the motive of the ornament; figure 3 shows the same rim on the ornament of a bronze bell. The subsequent history of the motive is the change of emphasis by which the partitions became the chief motive, a change which technically follows easily upon the taking of the cast of this pattern in any plastic material, even in sand or flour (as I found by actual experiment).\n\nStudy of the Han bronzes inlaid with gold or silver suggests that the real explanation lies in inlay-technique which underlies this motive. The head-shaped members are admirable for securing a hold because of the encircling fang-like tips. Our pots possibly were counting on an inlay of glaze or pigment. In the Han volume of (11), see Plates 12, G; 46, A and B; 47; 115, B and F. Note also the actual \"Double-F effect\" in the inlaid bird figure, Plate 116, A.\n\nIf this be realised, it then follows that the total pattern on the vase is made up of approximately square pattern-blocks, (see figure 2) repeating the unit of the motive. We are now in a position to compare a bronze bell once belonging to the Emperor Kien Lung and published in his well-known Hsi Ch'ing Ku Chien (6), k. 37 p. 21: it is reproduced in figure 3 and its unit\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\n13.\n\nPlate 37.\n\nFragments 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15.\n\n12.\n\n14.\n\n15.\n\n21",
