(Special.)— Rear-Admiral Melville, who re-;
cently made a tour of inspection of the
Newport News and Trigg companies'
ship-yards, has returned to the cityj,
Speaking -of -the Trigs plant, he said:
"I found tho new yard: at Kichmond to
be fully prepared to undertake the .con
• striictiou of xvtuf}iii>B of sjze up to <i,OOO
tons, and with the deepening- of the chan
nel it will shortly be able to. built vessels
of size rip to and including S.OOO tons.
"Tnis places the yard among me "com
petitors fcr tho construction in the future
of the largest type of warships, outside
"f battleships and armored cruisers, and
its pknt already has every facility and
all the equipment required for the larjrer
cruiser class of vessels. It Is being grad
ually expanded and enlarged, : and in a
year or two will be equal to almost any
*!iip-yard in the South, outside of that at
Newport Nc-vv-s, which will always, prob
ably, be the most important, owing to its
Sine harbor and deep-water facilities.
"The JUichmond yard is .soon to con
struct a siono wall, 3,000 feet in length,
enclosing the property it lias Purchased
.for its plant. There is already isuillcient
water at tho present shops for ships
drawing 38 feet, and as soon- as certain
dredging is completed lower down there
will not be less than 25 iect ot water
near some of its land,, on Tvliich i?hops
Jtre to be built. The Richmond yard is
doing excellent work, and the navy will
find that the vessels built there are : as
flae'as any of their class in the. service."

'NEW YORK, February li— The ■move-,
-fnent of prices in the stock market to
day reflected very "clearly the doubtful
and'--: conflicting speculative 'opinion over
the outlook for prices. The opinion re
iiectea : \vas almost wholly, that ; of . pro
'/"essioha! operators in stocks, as they
■were the. only, ones 'who took any notable
part in the trading. '
The general 'public persisted in keeping
out of .-.'the spot market, and . this con-,
tinued Indifference -had not a little to <2o
.with the doubts of the professional specu
lators, some of whom sold stocks before
the close of the "day, prompted by their
disappointment over . the failure of any
general demand for stocks to develop. 1
■ A -number of factors contributed to an
early advance in prices. The initial im
pulse came . Trom f\.he L.ondon market,
where prices /advanced on ; the cheerful
feeling engendered by the forward move
ment, of British troops in South Africa.
London was a buyer here on the opening,
but the demand from that source was
satislied.wilh the taking of 2r.,ooo'td IW.OOO
shares. : ' : :' ■ . : ■' ■ ' "
IRON AND, STEET/ GROUP. .
The Iron and Steel, group advanced in
sympathy, in the. morning, ; under the;
active biddingup of professional traders,
American Steel and Wire lising to within
a fraction of <JO. Tennessee Coal rose an
extreme 2y t . The impulse of these stocks
came from the allegations contained in
a pending lawsuit of notoriety, regarding
the enormous profits of the steel trade
for the past year, and assertions of the
likelihood of still larger returns for the
current year. \
"Strength in Sugai-was bn sod upon rather
vague rumors of a coining advancu m the
prices of the product, and the resumption
of operations by refineries recently
closed. down. But the strength from these
causes was not well- maintained in the
"face of the apathy of the demand and
notable weakness in' some special stocks.
A break of fi% in Tbinl-Avenue. v/ms
due to the announcement by a banking
house of its withdrawal' of . a proposed
loan to this company. This caused sharp
symiiathetic declines in the other local
Traction stocks. Iron and Steel stocks,
and Sugar,- and, in fact, unsettled the
whole list.
RAILROADS LOSE EARLY GAIN'S.
Railroad stocks .lose their early gains,
but become dull and notably firm near
last night's level of prices. All reports
continue to reflect a high, level of .♦pros
perous' business activity, and an unpre
cedented level of railroad earnings." But
this very activity in business arouses the
question whether the prosperous- 1 use of
money thus involved is not likely to de
plete the supply of funds available for
speculative purposes. No' better expla
nation has been "found of last week's
enormous' loan expansion than the de
mand for mercantile uses, which is known
to be on a very large scale.
Taking into account the recent tendency
towards large expansion of loans, a fur
ther large, inroad upon surplus reserves
Is regarded as inevitable, in the coming
bank statement. ■ . '.'''■■
