ballast Is stone or rock and every shipmaster who halls from the port of New York knows or Is sup posed to know at least the relative value of certain grades of rocks at various ports besides the metropolis He can dispose of a cargo of stone to contractors here which will more than reimburse him for tbe expense of load Ing and unloading and If the shipmas ter Is alert he will arrange for such disposal many months before his re turn from somo out of the way corner of tne world Every time a sailing vessel returns from a foreign port she usually Is vis by contractors or their agents who competitive bids for her ballast cargo of stone If she carries one This stone Is used mostly for macadamizing and paving streets Fre material is brought over which s good enough for building Ney York
