Successful Stock Operations.

There is much talk about stock operations
and the rapid fortunes that are amassed by
them, but very few people understand just
how it is done. Messrs. Lawrence & Co., Bank
ers, 81 Exchange Place, New York City
have published full details of their new
Combination Method of operating in stocks,
which is wonderfully successful. BY pool
ing the orders of thousands of customers
into one immense sum, and operating them
as whole, each patron is placed on an
equality with the largest operator and vast
profits are divided pro rata among he share
holders every thirty days. $25 makes 800,
or per cent. on the stock in the month;
$l00 makes $3.50, or IN per cent; $3.50
makes 81, 500, and various profits according
to the movements of stocks. Safety and
success are the distinguishing features of
this system. S. Y. Sanger, of San Francis
co, California, writes: :" have never made
so much money in the same time as have
by your Combination System" The new
circular copyrighted and sent free) ex-
plains all details, All kinds Of Stocks and
Bonds wanted. New Government Loan sup
piled. Best References. Address Lawrence
& Co., Bankers, 81 Exchange Place, New

ALE AND BEER.


II y. ~
From the advance sheets of the annual
report of Colonel Sidney D. Maxwell, Su-
perintendent of the Chamber of Commerce,
we clip the following interesting extracts:
The total quantity of malt liquors manu-
factured in Cincinnati in the year was the
largest in the history of the city, having
been $50, 518 barrels, compared with AIS, 2l2
barrels in 1S76-77, 476, 22S barrels in 1876,
452 1T barrels in 1974-75, 465, 1856 barrels in
1894, and 467 790 barrels in 1S72-73 In
gallons, the production in Cincinnati aggre-
gated for the past year II ,066, ,55S, compared
with IA, 731 ,572 in the preceding year. In
Covington and Newport the production for
the year was A, 40 barrels, compared with
49, 204 barrels in 1857, and 40,5S6 barrels
in 1856. The total production in the
three cities was 59i, 98S barrels or Is, 444, 261
gallons, in comparison with 5l3, ,4l6 barrels
or 10, 5,915 1886 gallons in 1876-77. Estimating
the number of ordinary glasses to the bar
rel at 400 it would make the production
for the past year in the three cities equal to
237, 1896, 200 glasses.
Our business with other. localities exhib-
its a steady increase, the exports for the
year, not including bottled beer, having
been 1S4 ,634 barrels, compared with 1859
barrels the preceding year.
In the production of the beer made in
Cincinnati, there were consumed in the
past year Of malt 1,316,741. bushels; hops,
l, 122,062 pounds; rice, 697 030 pounds In
addition to these there we're consumed, ap-
proxima'ely, of coal, 6,000,O 900 bushels;
coke, g. $50, 900 bushels and ice, 60, 600 tons.
The figures thus given make an interest,"
ing and encouraging showing for this great
branch of our own manufactures. This
year, though marked by growth and vigor-
Gus prosecution, has in some respects been
less satisfactory to brewers.
The late year opened with beer selling at
SO per barrel. Early in September it was
reduced to 50. Later in the year. owing to
the disposition of some of the brewers to
cut rates there was, considerable demorali-
cation in prices. On, the 1st of July the
price was reduced to $6 per barrel, a reduc-
ton at once of 25 per cent. This continued
until the 18th of that month, when it was
generally restored "a to $S, and Sc, remained
until the close of tho year., Neither has
the Generalization in prices been confined
to the manufacturers. The retailers have
also, since the 1st of June, been waging a
war with each other on the subject of the
size of tile glasses, involving also, to a
greater or less extent, the interests of the
manufacturers The Schooner" holding

SOUTHERN RAILROAD INVESTI-
CATION.
Governor II. M. Bishop on the Stand

Governor II. M. Bishop on the stand.
At 8 o'clock this morning the Southern
Railroad Investigation Committee resumed
their work by calling Governor Bishop to
the stand.
The Governor first made personal state
ment in which he denied the statement of
Miles Greenwood which was published in
the papers, charging him with taking $780,,
600 to Frankfort, KY, for the purpose of
obtaining legislation, but since he could
not get the assurance that the bill would
pass he would not let the money go.
This charge, the Governor stated, was en-
tirely untrue, since he only took enough
money with him to pay his expenses, nor
did he directly or indirectly promise re-
ward to any member of the Kentucky Leg
isature. The third year when the bill was
before the Legislature, when the charter
was granted, was not in Frankfort and
took no part in influencing the passage Of
the bill. All the money took to Frank
fort Was few hundred dollars in 1901,
raised by citizens to pay contin-
gent expenses of friends who were working
for the enterprise in Kentucky. The money
was spent TO pay the expenses of persons
who came from different parts of the State
to use their influence with members of the
Legislature, and in hotel bills, and not one
dollar of it was paid directly or indirectly
to any member of the Kentucky Legislature.
l do not know that any money was
used to secure its passage. l am prepared
to state positively that Inever took $l3, 900
| to Frankfort--nor did / take any other sum
of money except the small amount before
referred to, which was used solely as stated.
The Governor then stated that the Trus-
tees were anxious and did seriously con-
slider The proposition to purchase the Ken
lucky Central and made decided effort to
obtain it, but meeting ofstockholders of the
Kentucky Central was called at Frankfort,
| KY, and it was there decided that the road
should not be sold until it was learned what
it was worth to the stockholders, and until
the law suit was settled. We did not decide
upon the route until we had exhausted the
subject of purchase.

States, and in addition to that which is
bottled in the city, is largely bottled in
New York for shipment to Madras, Bonn
bay and Calcutta, whittier it has been
exported with satisfactory results The
impression seems to prevail that the usual
local consumption has not been more than
maintained, but the figures as to the move
ment show that the net supply has been
larger here than during the previous year,
having been in 1878 four hundred and
ten thousand three hundred and ffty-four
barrels, compared with three hundred and
sixty-four thousand eight hundred and
ninety-se barrels in the preceding year.

Population Of some Big Cities.

The population of the great cities of
the world is matter of perennial in
terest. Unofficial statements vary
somewhat, but those of the last annual
report of the Bureau of Vital Statistics
of this city are derived from official
sources, and are, no doubt, authentic.
According to the latest official estimates
in each city, or the latest census, where
these are not attainable, they range as
follows: London, of course, heads
the list with its 1888, 4S4; Paris comes
next with 1851 1872, by the census OF
1872; then Picking, with 1900, 900, and
Canton, with 1900, 900; next comes
New York, with LOGS, 1862, and closes
the list of those having more than
l ZOO, 900 inhabitants. OF those having
less than 1000, 900 and more than $780,
600, Berlin comes first with 994 ,343;
then Philadelphia, with s5O,S56 next
Toxic, Japan, the Yeddo OF the old
biographies, with 100000; Vienna,
690, 54S; st. Petersburg. 669, 741; Bonn
bay, GA, 405; Kioto. Japan, 100000;
Glasgow, 555, 1888; Ozaka, Japan, $780,
600; Brooklyn, 527 $50; Liverpool,
527 ,0S3. st. Louis claims 500, 900, and,
II allowed her own estimate, heads the
list of these ranging downward, from
SOC, 900 to 25O, 900. Then follow Naples,
with 457 ,4O7: Chicago, with 100000;
Calcutta, 429, 535; Marking, 100000;
Madras, 307 ,552; Hamburg, 393,5S8;
Birmingham, 377. 1916; Manchester,
359, 213; Baltimore, 355, 900; Boston,
1854, 765; Shanghai. 10000; Dublin,
314 ,666; Buda Pesth, 314 ,4O1; Amster-
dam, 3O2, 266; San Francisco, 300, 200;
Leeds, 29S, 189; Rome, 2S2, 214; Shelf
field, 2S2, 1870; Cincinnati, $4,000;
Breslan, 259, 345; Melbourne, 25O, 1918;
Havana, 100000. Thus, it will be seen
that there are 20 cities, each having

none to have been omitted, and an ag-
gregate of about "a. 900, 0OO.-Ne,o York
