MINES AND MINING.

FRIDAY Sept 30-P.M
The mining stock markets to-day were active
enough, but they were generally depressed Yes
terday's San Francisco closing prices published
here this morning disappointed the b pes that the
earlier quotations had raised and the violent de-
cline affected not only the Comstocks but nearly our
whole market. Consolidated Virginia sold down
to 24502.55 and California to !. Asto-day,s open

until after board hours their effect is not renected

steady at 2.45, and Robinson az 1872 Cnefokee

CLOSING PRICES or PffL4DELPHIi STOCKS
Reported by JONI II. DAVIS & CO., No II Wdll-St.

FRIDAY, Sept. 30-P. NJ.
To-days transactions in stocks furnished addi-
tona evidence of the character of the present stock
market and further developed the smallness of the
interest that the public is taking in the specu-
lation The drift of stocks is toward the mar
ket and not from it; but the movement
is yet SO small that it hardly interferes
with the daily manipulations to force a rally in
prices. To-day's market was like those of the pre-
ceding DAYS. A small dcclipe followed the opening,
after which there was sharp rally. But no sooner
was a market provided, because of the seeming
strength of prices than the task of feeding stocks
again was begun. Prices, however, were very well
supported until the last half hour when the pressure
To sell sent prices generally below the opening tig
ures Lake Shore and Michigan Central stocks were
the steadest of the list renewed reports that all
the trunk line railroad difficulties we're amicably
arranged The facts that were developed to-day, and
the publication of Mr.. CARROTS reply to Mr. Wander
bits interview, published III The TRIBUNE some
time ago. however seem to indicate that the settle
ment Is further off than ever. Mr.. Vanderbilt evil
IDENTIFY is pushing his connections into the
Southwest and perhaps to Philadelphia,
which will compEcate future negotiations
for an arrangement for q division of
traffic until each contestant has demonstrated
what pr portion Of the business it en- control.
There is doubt that Mr.. Vanderbilt has been
large purchaser of the c., c., G. and stock. and
probably will control the next annual electiou.
This. in connection with the Lake Shore system.

Henry Wilson.

The late Henry Wilson was a consist
ent teetotaler, and once gave ut Wash
ington a dinner without wine to W. E.
Forster, now Chief Secretary for Ireland,
and another member of Parliament who
was also visiting this country. Among
the other guests were one or two men,
bers of the Cabinet and several foreign
Ministers, Senators, Representatives, and
Journalistic Mr.. z. L. White records
that he was among the early arrivals,
and that Mr.. Wilson 1rew him aside and
told him that he had ordered that no
wine should be served. II have told
Mr.. Wormley," said the Vice President,
"to prepare as good q dinner as he
could-to spare no expense-and to fur
nish the finest brands of cigars, for I
don't want my English guests to think
that parsimony has caused me to omit
the wines, and then he asked his guest
if he. did not think he had done rightly.
During this dinner it was remarked that
there were thirteen at the table; and
Mr.. White adds: ''Before the next
winter Mr.: Wilson himself lay dad in

Taking Advantage Of Nature.

An ingenious application Of expsnsion
and contraction in metals was made use
of in France, and has frequently been
taken advantage of since. The walls Of
large building in Paris were observed
to he giving way by bulging outward,
and the problem was to bring them back
to their vertical position. For this pur-
pose number of bars of iron having
crews and nuts on each end were let
hrough the opposite walls and scross
he intervening space between them.
he nuts and screwed portion Of the
bars were outside. The bars were now
heated by a number Of lamps suspen1ed
below them until they had expanded -
much as possible, and the nuts screwed
up against the outsides Of the two oppo-
site walls. The lamps wero next 10
moved, when the heated bars, in COOL
ing, gradually contracted in length,
bringing tho walls very gently, but With
irresistible force, into their normal posi-
tion.-Scientihc Anaertcoa,
