The Financial Outlook East.

The New York World continues its as
one of extreme rottenness, and predicts an
early collapse of many promising specula-
tons. In its issue of Monday it says:
The present condition of affairs resem'
bles that preceding the panic and crisis oil

new indebtedness created, however, at this
time BY railroad corporations IN the shape
of watered or new issues OF stocks and

In the West has a floating debt of 1000,

pswnbroker's rate of Is per cent. per an

the market through hired brokers, who have
been conspicuous in times past in petroleum
and other stock bubbles Leading Boston

This floating debt of the railroads is none
the less ruinous because it is in a different
shape from that which it was in 1857 In
TACT, the panic and collapse in railroad Sc
curities will be all the more staggering to
the ublic from this new form of liability in
railways, because their bankruptcy viii

The watering" process has been pushed
to its utmost limit by the railway msgnstes
and prime bankers who control these mat
ters. These same eminent and highly
respectable individuals, having exhausted

try the converse OF the came.
The public and money lenders need not
be surprised to see the shares of the Boston,
Hartford Il Erie railroad, Pacific Mail. and
others, wiped out of existence and made the
property of the bondholders, or sold for the
debts of the companies, as the Collins line
of steamers were under the auspices of the
prime bankers who used up that company,
and are in process of doing likewise with
the Pacific Mail.

CLOSING CRACKS IN STovEs.-It may be
convenient to know a ready method OF clos
ing up cracks, which are not uncommon In
cas- IRON stoves aud we are assured that
the following recipe is reliable one. Good
wood ashes are to be sitted through a fine
sieve, to which is added q quantity of CLAW.
finely pulverized, together with little salt.
The mixture is to be moistened with water
enough to make paste, and the crack of the
stove filled with it. This cement does not
peel off or break away, and assumes an ex
treme degree of hardness after being heated
The stove must be cool when the application
Is made. The same substance may be used
in setting in the plates Of a stove, or in fit
ting stovepipes, serving to render all the
joints perfectly tight.
