SATURDAY. Aug. 27-p. NJ
On its face to-day's stock market was much like
that of yesterday. At the opening there was n
slight yielding from last nights figures. fol-
lowed by Improvement that added
fractions to prices in each passing hour,
until the last thirty minutes of business In
that last thirty minutes there was an important
reaction from the highest prices, but not ono that
docs not leave handsome gains the final figures
of yesterday. In one essential feature however
to-day's movements differ from those Of Yesterday
Yesterday IT was II spontaneous impulse of traders
that advanced prices on u dull market To-day the
movements were begun and carefully nurtured
by some OF the leading operators who
have stocks for sale. The news from Washin rtop
was bad, and, although the Presidents condition
long ago ceased to be factor in the stock speculo
ton, there more elective way of making il
appear that the late depression hal been due to that
cause than to make figures strong when the sad
announcement Of the Presidents death was momen-
tarily expected. This was not difficult 10 ar
compHsh in duh market, with an out
standing short interest that was wavering be-
tween doubts and uncertainties. Aud il was
accomplished by the aud OF the "shortsu who yyere
busy covering their STOCKS and who contributed
largely to the purchasing side of the 270 900 shares
that were bought and sold in the course of the dov
In the last hal-hour the market became tame and
prices yielded all over the list, and of the close
steadlncss Is the most that can be said
Government bonds were weaker in the early deal
ings, especially the per cents which sold Ms low
rs HE Later n stronger tone prevailed for the
4 2s and IS for which tho final bids show advances
of % and i per cent respectively The market
closed steady at Che annexed quotations:

" 1t is certainly mysterious" said /, that with
about 50 800 worth of hartshorn you can expunge
$4,000 of ice and make my toes ache down here in
the dog days. What is ammoniaf7
" 1t is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen and
it is called ammonia because it was first made from
camels' dung at the Temple of Jupiter Ammon on
the hot deserts of Africa. 1t is called hartsho,n
because they once made it out of the decomposed
horns of deer. You buy it as liquid. IL is q
powerful alkali. Everything in nature You know
Is normally cold, passive nature like death is in
state OF cold. The heat comes from elsewhere and
all we do is to take away this heat by letting the
hartshorn seize it, and bear it away. We use the
same hartshorn from day to day and from year to
year, over and over again."
BREWERY SIGHTS.
While we were walking along / observed one
man perpetually drawing beer at a window and
huge young brewers stepped up every few minutes
aud drank. L asked how much beer they were
allowed to have.
- All they can drink before o'clock in the morn
ing. After that allow them twenty tickets
apiece AS we have iifty-fve men in the brewery it
amounts TO Loo glasses of beer at least per day,
over 300 week, counting glass at 8 cents"
How much do you get for your beer"
Beer brings Us "a barrel. Taking out losses the
cost OF collection, etc, we count it at So net

but Tho beer is supplied in half barrels ouar
ters and sixths. very considerable item to n
brewer is his kegs. Most of them are made in New
York, though good many come from Cincinnati.
They all of oak. We have $4,000 in beer
kegs. The stealing of these kegs got to be such an
inhiction that we have detective agency among
the brewers to pursue stolen kegs Our own kegs
we brand by machine, so that on every stave
occurs letter Formerly when they were branded
on the ends the thieves knocked the end in and put
a new end in the keg for about half dollar.
Country brewers became tho recipients of these
stolen kegs Tor they were often carried away and
split up for kindling wood. Nearly all the respon-
slble brewers in New-York now belong to an asso-
citation, which has secretaries and detectives, and
II customer does not pay his beer bills he can get
no beer from any brewer in the society,"
