COhMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL.

FLUCTUATIONS OF GOVERNMENT BONDS.
Referring to the decline of United
States Securities in Europe the money
editor of the Philadelphia Ledger says:
Those who think they must furnish
a cause for every fall and rise of stock
prices attribute the present decline OF
our Government loans in the European
market to the agitation of the Alabama
case and national difficulties which may
flow from it, and the decline In this mar
ket is attributed to the decline abroad.
The next three days by showing a
further rise of prices, may upset this
Alabama theory, when some new, but
probably no better founded reason, will
be given as the cause. The truth is,
these slight fluctuations are generally
attributable to the supply of and de-
mand for bonds on the market: To-day
there happens to be more bonds offering
than there Is demand to take up, and
the price yields a fraction. Tomorrow
the buyers outnumber the sellers, and
an advance in price is made to tempt
sellers. The larger operations in these
stocks are always hunting up political
causes for changes in prices, but they
rarely have any application in fact.
When their purpose for the day is
served, they are cast aside for some
newer cause, and often to effect an op-
posite purpose.

grindstones at the hoe factory, and uses
it in his purifying apparatus instead of

answer the purpose. This waste is COM
posed of pulverized stone, or sand mix
ed with particles of iron and steel. One
excellence about 1t isthat it can be used
over and over again. The action of the
material is the very opposite of that
which goes on in the purifying appara.
tus so that after it has been sulphurized
by the gas, it can be oxidized again by
leaving it for time in the open air.
The process gives very pure gas for
Illumination.
