WRECKS AND CASUALTIES. fSPEOIAT, TELEGRAMS FKOM IXOYD'S A3ENTS. The British steamer LY^'IA, which was 111 collision in the buez Canal with the French steamer Yarra, has repaired and proceeded. I The steamer Alert, of Huil, has passed Spurn Head bounll up the river in tow, with engines apparently disabled. The German steamer Helvetia has put back to Hamburg with boilers leaking. The British ship Mabel Taylor, from Manila for Halifax, was spoken on February 25th, in lat. 36 N<>i-th, long. 59 west, with Joss of mainmast, Jc., and otherwise badly damaged. Assistance w is declined. She was steering for St. Thomas.

HOW TO TELL A WAITER. We all know, says the Daily Graphic, the story of the man who, at; a dinner party, courteously inqnired of a feilow guest, Excuse n''1. stf, but are yon the waiter?' and received the equally cfuirteuus answer, No, sir, I am not. Are you y Yet, though anecdotes of the sort have circulated for many cecades, it is only quite recently that a simple and effective means of distinguishing the guest from the waiter otherwise titan by the greater distinction of bis bearing bas been in- vented. At last, however, stioli a device has bsen invented and patented. It consists of a handsome gilt casing1, which can in a moment be drawn over the ordinary buttons of the waiter's coat, and so transforms the simple, homely swallow-tail into a gorgeous and resplendent uniform. Th", iuvel1t:on is dtle to the suggestion of a member of Parliament, who lately shook bands with a waiter at a public banquet under the mistaken belief that he was a scion of acounty famiv.

MARRIAGE A DISAPPOINT- MENT. A YOUNG WIFE ATTEMPTS SUICIDE AT NEWPORT. At the ISewport Town Hall, on Monday, the magistrates dealt witll the remanded case of Mrs Jenny Gallant, the young woman who married a bonny sailor lad a few months ago, but finding that marriage in itself dld not prsiduce the expected happiness came to Newport oil Saturday week, entered 3. restaurant, called for a cup or tea, took a phial from her pocket, poured the contents into the tea, winch she then drank off. The Plllal, it was found, contailled laudanum, and the effects WE,re immediately felt. Medical assistance was speedily SUllJllJoIH..d, and the etf.cts of the deadly drug were counteracted, and Mrs Gallant's attempt 011 her hfe was thus frustrated. Mrs Gallant had spent the interval at the Work- house, and according to Dr McCormack, she had been convinced rhat she was not suffering from a dangerous disease, as she supposed. Mr Davies, Pontardawe, the hther of the young woman, a white haired man standing over six feet in height, now appeared and promised to take charge of his daughter, and the Bench assented to this course, and father and child left the court in company.

THE IRON AND STEEL TRADE. I Tiie statistics just published by the Britiso Iron Trade A'3oci:tt¡on, which will be found in another column, show that the total production of pig iron in the year 1892 was 6,616,890 tons, compared with 7.223,4-96 tons in 1891, being a decrease of 611,606 tons. To this aggregate the Cleveland district contributed nearly one-third, namely, 1;937,469 tons, a. decrease of 685,253 tons. Scot- laud, on the other hand, increased her output by 302,783 tom. Oth9r notable reductions were exhibited by Lancashire (123,204 tons) and Cumberland (123,294- tons). The total out- turn wa.s composed "of forge and foundry pig, 3,518,296 tons (1891. 3,977,544 tons) hematite, 2.684,434 (3,069,869) spiegeieisen and ferro-manganese, 152,446 (49,219) and basic pig, 261,664 (231,864 tonsl. The collective production of Bessemer steel ingots was 1,500,810 tons (1.642,005 tons), a falling-otf of 141,195 tons. Of the total, 1,202,027 tons were flcid Bessemer, and 293,783 basse Bassemer steel. South Wales here ,?,I in takes premier position with 414,959 tons. The aggregate of Bessemer steel rails rolled in Great Britain last year was 535,836 tons, against 662,676 tons in 1891, a diminution oi 126,750 tons. Cleveland here assumes first place with 1^6,504 tons. For pur- poses of comparison we may mention that the production of pig iron 111 the United States in 1892 was 9,157,000 tons; the output ot Bessemer steel ingots, 4,160,972 tons and the outturn of Bessemer steel rails, 1,458,743 tons.—Iron,.

'40. A REAL FAINT. I cried Police Stop thief and ran ¡ after him, and then fainted," said Miss Edith Deuce, actress, to the magistrate at Maryleoone, in narrating how Sydney Patterson stole her purse 111 Edgware-road. "Dèar me exclaimed Mr Plowden, "was it a real faint or a dramatic one ?" Oh, I do assure you, sir," was the reply, it was a leal one that tune." Natu- rally enough, being on the stage, Miss Deuce knows all about what are known as the Dramatic Unities, and that a, faint, to be really effective, must ti1ke place neither too soon nor too late, but just at the moment when the villain of the piece bUs into the hands of Justice and she aiiJo knows tbe technicalities of her prdesion too well even to attempt to faint without miking a considerable beforehand. Therefore, after she had given plenty of warning she had every right to "gooff," fooling assured that when she awoke for the next act the dastard would bo in the cu-tody of a policeman. And so he was, but, unluckily, the lady's purse, which contained 17s, was thrown a way uy the prisoner and has not been recovered. This is unfortunate for Miss Deuce, who acted an exciting part 111 a real drama in an excellent manner, but she has the satisfac- tion of having assisted in arresting the career, not of a stage but of a veritable villain for at least three months, that being the period allotted to Patterson for the enjoyment of the unobtrusive luxuries of a plank bed and hard labour.

A NEWPORT WORKHOUSE INCIDENT. At the Newport borough, police-court on Monday—before a full Bench of magistrates — William Richards, a. young man well-known to the Cardiff police, appeared in the dock. The I police gave him :11 ill reputation, declaring that Richards, who had a wife and live children, neglected his f:un¡]yand spent the whole of hJS earnings ill gratifying hiscraving for drink, whilst hB wife and family wer" left ill the Newport Workhouse. On Saturday Richards, having for- tified himself with (hink presented himself at the Union and demanded the dieharge of his wife and children. The children had to be brought from Cuerleou Industrial Schools, and Riehilrd became impatient at having to wait, created diversions m the frollt of the workhouse, kicked the labour superintendent and an inmate who tried to pacify him. There were the con- victions against Richards for ass3,ul1s on his wife, and a separation had been g-rant<;d. Th Bench now told Richards that he was a disgrace, and decreed that he should bo maintained at the public expense ah Usk for the next two months.

POCKET-PICKING AT CARDIFF. At Cardiff police-court on Monday—before Dr Paiueand Mr C. charged with stealing on Saturday afternoon last a purse from the person of f'ajii'y I! nek land, in North-street-. — Prosecutrix, a labourer's wife, living at Park-terrace, Whitchurch, said she was in North street early in the after- n. on, and was about to get into a carrier's trap, which was hound for Whitchurch, when she felt someone pu-bing at her left side. Turning around she sa IV prisouer transferring her purse to his coat pocket making off. She pursued and succeeded in the capture of the run- awav.—Prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sen- tenced to 14 days' imprisonment with bard labour.

AN ELECTRIC CAB. On Saturday afternoon, says a. Berlin corre- sp01Flent, the so-caiied electric cab, which IS really propelled by means of a petroleum motor, met with a míbap. While near the Hotel Kaiserhof the cistern, winch haags between the two back wheels, burst with a loud report, and the fluid rilll out on to the road. The OCllIrnmee caused great merriment amongst the cabinc-n on the stand in front of the ICaiserhof.

The a big fee thrown away on the Newcastle n Mind, I like the Newcastle man, and would t his advice if it were the Tyne that was the ri concerned. -0- WHAT ARE THE RIVER OBSTRUCTION'S? The obstructions in the Usk are detinit ascertained quantities. There is no need to- told, for instance, how the Gravel Patch is to improved out of existence; a week's work more with a dredger would make the spit shoal neat- the Old Dock look very srna whilst the deposit at the mouth of t Ebow could be cleared and kt cleared by periodical dredging. The Harbo Commissioners know that the fall of the water the river at low water is various at differe points of the river. Between Newport Brid and the Old Dock it is 19'9 inches per mil, from the'Old Dock to the Alexandra Dock itfis inches per mile from thence to the Powd House Point, 8'6 inches per mile; and from t Upper to the Lower Powder House. 22 inches p mile. Away to the buoys it is 12'3 inches p mile." Y Oll mean that your figures indicate irregular bed, which needs to be smoothed, ar that veriest pupil in engineering could pi the Harbour Commissioners on the right track Exactly; then there are expansions and coi tractions of the river which facilitate deposi The whole thing wants to be taken in band bv Harbour Trust, which would have the public cur fidence. The fudge that is talked about tb dangers which will arise if you touch the river enough to nake men sick. It is a caile of tb one-eyed being king amongst the blind." --0-- I PTTESS ON FOR A HARBOUR TUUST. Glad to see that the Newport Trades Counc: have pas-ed a resolution in favour of Harbou Trust. Newport will never he a free port in th best sense of the term until it can rise superior ti the dock directorate and their mysterious ways if not by harmonising them, then by putting thi curb rein on and bringing them up in line for th, true development of the port." Yes, I've heard that the directors' policy is narrow; get every ounce of tonnage into thE docks and let the river go bang, is that it?" "Something like; and yet the opposite policy would bring the dock shareholders a biggei interest. What benefits Newport river benefits the docks what damages the Us1\: damages the docks. If the dock directors knew their business they would be Dredgerites with terrible earnest- ness. W hat's the use of having 35 feet on the cill at spring tides and 25 at n-ap tides if there is a Gravel Patch with only 34 and 24, or only narrow channel at 25 which a big ship cannot manoeuvre in to get clear of another ship's bul- warks 1" -0-- THE INHO.SPLTALITY OF THE RIVER. "Then the Usk IS a terr. lily inhospitable river. TherA isn't a refuge wílarf a "hip can lie at, and there isn't a public wharf to encourage trade. Vessels driven in by stress or weather from the roadstead have Hobson's choice eitRfer to go into dock and submit to exactions in the shape of dues, or run on the mud ac the mouth of tlw river. Isolated there, the poor fellows constituting the crew have a difficulty in getting ashore, either for provj"ioJ)sor recn>a,tion." Ye. that is a disgrace there was a steamer on the mud for several days last week. Thousands of people living on the hills which encircle Newport oould see her, and being I endowed with reasoning ppwers could give an, answer as to v/hy she wuc there, and yet they dmi'fc *»rive Un., HaoriDo.ur. ču.n.i.i(,mei', from office.

Elliot has commenced ship-repairing at the dry dock at Newport, and all the other ship-repairers are looking on with an incredulous snale or a sort of chuckle to see what sort of a fist the hon. baronet is going to make of it." Ah, res; especially how he will get on with the underwriters and the superintend,-nts, and what he will do to encourage and secure the trade." He'il have to sink a few thousands in sixty- fourths and shares in limiteds before he gets any- Ihin scinore than a job of painting, and painting is ruination work." Barry has put down the tariff at .its new graving dock a score points below the amended tariff at tiie Alexandra, and means to get business, whoever ,suffers." "And Bany 'J1 get it, too." -0-- SHY WITH THE DOLLARS. The Tones are getting into delightful form with the arrangements for their new club and head quatteis 011 Stow hill.

SOUTH WALES FINANCE MONDAY, March 13th, 1893. The week has opened quietly, there bemg little or nothing in the way of real activity f,except in Barry Preference Allotments and the Fractions. These continue to be nego- tiated freely, at a gradually advancing premium but in other groups things are ,very quiet, and lacking in feature of interest. A slightly weaker tone is observable in Taff Vale Stock, which has been dealt in to-day at 81 and 81%, while there are further sellers at the lower price named. 4The market for Banks means practically at the present moment National Bank of Wales Shares, though Lloyds have been done to some extent. The glorious un- certainty in regard to what the assets of the pBank of Wales will yield is causing a steady -depression in prices. The quotation has 1 ,.been gradually tumbling down, and a further I .fractional decline has to be noted to-day. ,A most unsettled state of feeling prevails in ,the market for this security, and speculators and investors alike seem to be quite unable ',to determine the position, or what the pros- pect is likely to be in the* course of the next week or two. There are those who maintain that the present low prices are not -Warranted, because they believe that the I report of the directors was correct in all its ,essential particulars. It certainly is difficult -to reconcile the statements contained in the report with the doubt and uneasiness pre- vailing with regard to the Shares at. the present time, for it really amounts to this— 'that a large number of holders are getting rid of their Shares at a considerable sacrifice. glie absence of any official intimat-ion of the amalgamation being about to take place is also regarded as a peculiar feature of the business but this may simply arise from a desire on the part of the joint boards to be (able to make a clear and definite statement •as to how matters stand in relation to I *the financial aspect of the case before coming out with any authoritative declara- tion. The business transacted in the course tion. The business transacted in the course of the day includes the following :— Taff Vale Stock at 81. r London and North Western Stock at 168 Barry Preference Allotments at 2Ss, 28s 6d, 29s, 29s premium. Barry Fractions at 2s 9d, 3s, 3s premium. Barry Second Preference Stock at 144% and 144%. Midland 4 per Cent. Preference Stock at 133% and 134. Rhvmney 4 per Cent.

H. Vivian and Co.'s A Preference I Shares to 3-3%. The recurrence of the colliers' monthly holiday has affected the export trade of the I' port during the past week, but, notwith- standing this fact, shipments amounted to 248,976 tons. The trade of the Bute Docks was as follows :-Coal, coke, and patent fuel shipments, 147,131 tons; imports, 27,667 tons. At Penarth Dock the total quantity of coal and coke shipped amounted to 38,337 tons, while at Barry Dock the exports during the week reached 74,810 tons, a figure which is somewhat below the average. I This morning the annual general meeting of the Floating'Metallic Packing Company was held under the presidency of Mr John Cory (Messrs John Cory and Sons), chairman of the company. All the directors were present, and there was a fair attendance of shareholders. It was explained in the dis- cussion which took place on the motion for the adoption of the report and statement of accounts, that the principal item in the revenue account for salaries and com- mission, in all about E160, had been paid away to the Magnolia Metal Company as their commission on the sale of the patent. It appeared that differences of opinion had arisen and continued during a considerable portion of the year between the Magnolia Metal Company and the Floating Metal- lic Company, but these differences were likely to be got over without much further trouble. There was a fair prospect of the thing turning out very satisfactory as times advanced. The directors gave a very full explanation to the shareholders of the causes of such ditferences of opinion, and as evidence that the shareholders were satisfied with what the directors had done a vote of thanks to the latter was passed at the close of the meeting. The motion for the adoption of the report haviug be-en seconded, it was carried. The retiring directors were then re elected, as was also Mr W. A. Morgan, the auditor. It was mentioned during the meeting that some of the packing had boon in constant use in steamers for between two and three years and had never given the slightest trouble. NATTONAL BANK OF WALES.

In the remark. accompanying, it is stated that due provision has been made for bad and doubt- ful debt?. This bemg so, why should there b« any less division than £ 15 por share, as w« under- stand the terms to bu £5 per share for goodwill and £ 2 per S li;Arl bonu* to shareholders, plus the valued assets, which should be equivalent to par value. Put allowing fully for depreciation, etc., £ 15 appears to he within the mark.—I am, HENRY J. PILI,INIGFR & CO.

HOLLOWAY'S PlU.S a.re securtties of health to fill nations, of whatever clime. They have given hope, relief, and comfort to millions. In irritation and debility, generated by excesses of any kind, or in geiiera, I prostration of the iysiem, their effect is rapidly soothing, renovating, and restorative. They rapidly drive from the system the morbid cause of ailment, and renew in the frame its pristine animation, lieitth, and vigour. They greatly increase the appetite,, give tone to the stomach, assist the dige-tion, and impart elasticity to the spirits their essence enters the circu- lation and, carried through its course, exerts its cleansing power over every organ. In the lungs they affect most striking changes, converting the impure venous into pure arterial blood, by which the whole rame is recriutfld.
