STRUGGLE OF THE COMPANIES.
EFFECTS OF THE COMPETITION IN THE PHILADEL-
PHIA Neutrality-suspicious. IN PRICES BY The
READING COMPANY.
The announcement that the Delaware and Hud-
son Canal Company had decided to offer coal In the
Philadelphia market created marked excitement

Company at once, issued its circular prices

cline from those of the preceding month";
1t is understood that it reduced also It's
prices at Philadelphia, but the exact figures OF It's
Philadelphia circular could not be obtained here

about cents above those realized at the August

gress at Gloucester. From the returns made
to the congress 1t appears that these societies
have q membership of about half 8 million,
with nearly $25 100000 Of paid-up capital, and
employing $4,5OO,O0O Of borrowed capital,
derived chiefly from their non-membership
Their purchases amount to over $50, 100000
annually; their gross profits are S11 100000,
and their net profits S7,10O.00O, or more than
10 per cent on their annual sales. These as
sociations have generally laid the foundation
Of mental improvement by establishing
libraries and reading-roonns, and the condi-
tion of the members has, On the whole, been
greatly improved The Workingmen con-
nected with them have, to a greater degree
than Others acquired habits Of economy and
sobriety, so that their moral as well as mate
rial condition has been bettered. The assO-
Citations are Industrial only In the sense that
they are composed of workingmen. They are
not associations for the cooperative prosecu-
ton OF industries, but solely for the purpose
of obtaining such things as they have to buy
at wholesale or manufacturers prices.
Some curious chemical Investigations
made recently In England have been reported
Ia the Journal OF the Royal Chemical Society
The preparation Of artificial champagne is
one Of them. First Of all, we are told the
amount of alcohol, sugar, acids, etc, which
genuine French champagne contains, and
then informed how this can be Initiated by
chemical science. The stock Is to have gela-
tine added to it, to precipitate fannie acid.
and, after filtration, 1t is favored by the adj
dition of sugar, tartaric acid, glycerine, and
cognac or spirits Of wine. An agreeable aroma
is given by extracts of violet, celery, hello
trope, or jasmine. # red wine Is desired,
an alcoholic extract Of bilberries is added.
Truly, science Is wonderful thing, thus to
convert, on the instant, white wine into red
one. If the wine Is not sufficiently cremant,
the addition of gum arabic and more gly-
cerine will remedy the matter Glycerine
seems to play an important part in manufac-
turing chemistry just now. We have the
word Of the Royal Society that 1t is possible
to aduIterate milk with s. per cent OF gly-
cerine water without the possibility Of detec-
ton by the usual modes Of examination. This
Journal of the Chemical Society also tells its
readers what to use instead Of copper salts to
make preserves and pickles look green. Manu-
facturers, as we are told, have been induced
In order to improve the appearance OF the
preserved article to restore the green color
by the addition Of salt of copper. A much
more harmless and equally effective coloring
agent has been obtained by these chemists by
dissolvIng the chlorophyll from parsley o.
other similar plant with solution Of caustit
soda. Evidently, young chemists have 6
wide field open to them.
