The stock market to-day was uncommonly
dull, the sales aggregating only 101, 982 shares
The continued falling off Of business is ascribed
to heat, which causes very slim attendance Of
operators and brokers on the street Specula-
ton, however, was strong throughout, and
prices generally show an advance of to II per
cent. on the days transactions. Western Union
advanced L. Union Pacific !, Northern Pacific
preferred J, and Lackawarna per cent. these
having been the strongest stocks The changes
in the other shares were confined to small frac-
tions. The only important reaction during the
day occurred after the second call, when prices
yielded to per cent, but rally followed and
the market closed firm. The strength of Specu-
lation in the face Of the dullness is due to the
port of the Agricultural Department made public
this morning and to rUmOrs that representatives,
of the trunk lines were in session to-day en-
deavoring to settle their differences OF the

faence in the future Of the market We have
Just harvested a very large crop OF wheat but
az the season progresses we are beginning 20 as
certain that the extent Of the crop has been ex-
aggerated and when we consider that there was
less of the old crop on hand than for some pre-
vious years, when new wheat began to come
forward some are beginning 10 feel that we
have not such an extraordinary surplus TO spare
We are satisfied, however, that we have just as
much as we can take care of, while the Euro
pean markets offer such small Inducements for
shipment The harvests abroad have been bet
ter than for many years, and English farmers
appear to be satisfied with the low prices ON
account Of the largely increased crops.

How a Wood Engraving Is Made.

W. Lewis Fraser, in February st. Nicholas.
In wood engraving the lines that are to ink
the paper are left standing, while the parts be
tween are cut away from the surface of the
block, so that when an ink roller is passed over
an engraving of this kind it leaves all the lines
tipped with coating of ink, to be picked up by
the sheet of paper which comes in contact with
sink two lines in the block to make one line
which will print. OF course, considering the
hardness of the wood and the deli
caey required for the lines, this is
very slow and tedious work. You may easily
form some idea of how tedious it is by placing a
penny over any portion of an engraved picture
making light mark around the penny with u
black lead pencil, and then, by the aid of mag
nifying glass counting the lines within the cir
Gle. You will see that your penny has covered
more than one hundred lines; and then you must
in the drawing which the engraver is engraving
grows lighter or darker he mas to change the
width of the line; for just in proper
ton to the thickness of the black line left
between the two white ones will be the tint or
color of the corresponding portion of the
printed picture. These changes are called by
engravers 'stops" And where there are many
of these, one square inch of engraving is a fair
days work.
have spoken of leaving, for the engraver
always has a drawing to work from. Sometimes
it is made upo~ the wood block, but it is more
frequently made by the artist much larger than
the block on which it is to be engraved, and q
reduced copy of it produced upon the block by
| photography. By this plan the artist can work
much more freely and the engraver is enabled
| to have the large drawing in front OF him, be
sides the reduced copy of the same which he il

SIX INCHEs OF STRING.
The Story of Factory That Covers an Entire
Block in New York City.
New York Sun.


''You see that large factoryq 1t covers the en-
tire block. Half million of money wouldn't
buy it. Well, it was built by little piece of
cord not more than six inches long Here the
speaker paused and scrutnized the reporters
countenance for indications of incredulity not
talking to man who since the introduction of
the telephone, has made it point of principle
to be ready for anything and to believe all that
he hears The speaker added:
Eight years ago there lived on the west SIDE
in the third story of a cheap tenement down
near the North river, poor mechanic, who was
kept poor because he had passion for nventing
it amounted to a passion. He didn't drink
and didn't travel with the politicians, and all
who knew his family wondered why they should
be so poor. Time passed on. and still the man
was poor. But at last he perfected an invention
the simplest thing on earth-and with his
patent i'll his hand he went down town one day.
and called for the head of house whose check
was current for five figures anywhere in
the street. The inventor offered to sell two
thirds of his patent for $4,000 if the house
would bind itself to put $l00,000 into factories
for producing the little thing that he had in
vented. The firm signed papers in less than an
hour from the time of hearing the proposal, and
in another hour the inventor had converted the
firms check for $4,000 into greenbacks. Lots
were bought and a factory was erected. The
business speedily grew to gigantic proportions,
and at length the firm acquired all the rest of the
block and covered it with brick and mortar, and
now the inventor is able to associate with the
millionaires The little glove fastener-a piece
of cord about six inches long and a dozen little
metal hooks or buttons-s the thing that was in.

passage of a hundred thousand of convicts they
have become now rotten and foul from top to
bottom. The old log wood house refuses shelter
to the chained travellers brought under its roof
and wind and snow freely enter the interstices
between its rotten beams; heaps of snow are ac-
cumulated in the corners of the rooms. The
etape was built to shelter $50 convicts, that be
ing the average size of parties thirty years ago
At present the parties consist of $50 to 800 hu-
man beings, and the 800 must lodge on the space
parsimoniously calculated for $50.
The stronger ones, or the aristocracy among
the conviets-the elder Migrants and the great
murderers-cover each square inch of the plat
forms; the remainder that is, double the number
of the former, lie down ON the rotten floor, COW
cred with an inch of sticky filth, beneath and be-
tween the platforms What becomes of the
rooms when the doors are closed and the whole
space filed with humans being who lie naked on
their nasty clothes impregnated with water will
be easily imagined.
The etapes, however, are palaces when com
pared with the half etapes, where the parties
spend only the nights These buildings are
still smaller, and, as a rule, still more diapi-
dated, still more rotten and foul. Some
times they are in such a state as to compel
the party to spend the cold Siberian nights
in light barracks erected in the yard, and with
out fire. As a rule, the half etape has special
compartment for the women, and they must
lodge in the room of the soldiers. (See MaximoiTs
siberia With the resignation of our all
enduring Russian mothers, they squat down
with their babies wrapped in rags, in some cor
ner of the room below the platforms or close by
the door, among the rifles of the escort.
No wonder that according to official statistics
out of the 1851 children less than fifteen years
old, who were sent in 1881 to Siberia with their
parents, "a very small part survived THE
majority the Golos says, could not support
the great privations of the journey

The binding was done with wire. As Il conse-
quence, when the wheat was threshed a good
deal of that binding wire went through the
thresher and dropped out in bits into the wheat.
Millers, particularly in the Northwest, found so
muchin the grain that profits were seriously cut
by the Injury done to the millstones. Two or
three associations of millers in different States
resolved to buy no wheat that had been bound
with wire That wouldn't work, of course;
and it WAS not long before milling
journal advised the millers to put
magnets in the spouts through which
the grain was received from the farmer The
miller found that he accumulated not only lot
of binding wire but odds and ends Of metal that
he had never dreamed of. This lot in the box
came from grist of fifty bushels. But the mag
nets had their drawbacks. They didn't catch all
the iron, ard they had to be cleaned by hand.
Then an inventor devised machine which con
sists of a hopper, into which the grain runs, and
from which it is fed in an even sheet over plate
of sheet-iron. The plate serves as an armature
for gang of horse shoe magnets beneath it, and
becoming magnetized itself it holds all the metal
that reaches it with the grain. Once minute
automatic wiper clears the metallic substances
from the sheet of iron The machines are of
various sizes and makes. ranging in capacity
from twenty-five to three hundred bushels an
hour, and III price from $40 to $l25.'
