active inquiry for discount at 3t@2j
per cent. The Stock Exchange loan

heavy settlement, the subscription for
business shares also increasing the de-
mand. Business on the Stock Kx-
change was dull and most exchanges
downward. There was a persistent
decline in American railroad securi-
ties early in the week, owing to sales
by weak operators for a rise.
The ISL seemed TO have been
checked after Wednesday, but yes
erday the depression was renewed
and most changes were adverse.
The recent rise in cable shares
lie collapsiDg under a report.that final
Overturea made by the pool at the
instance of the French Company to

rejected. Anglos have fallen 8, and
Angles preferred and deferred 2. Gold

oisively checked the boom in gold

THE CORK INDUSTRY.
Lnterprising Americans Proposing to
Grow Cork Wood in this Country.

Grow CORK WOOD in this Country.
Some enterprising Americans have re-
GENTLY conceived the idea OF growing cork
| trees in this country. They believe they
can be successfully grown in the climate Of
| California, and steps have keen taken to-
ward making the experiment. The average
annual importation Of cork wood into this
country, almost entirely at the port OF New
York, is 10000 bales year. A bale weighs
100 pounds, and is worth On this side of the
water s20 making the total value of the inn
portation 81, 100000. 1t comes in duty free.
1t is nearly all brought over by one firm,
which has branch Office in New York, the
main offices being in London and Lisbon.
The firm owns vast forests of cork wood in
Portugal and Spain, and may be said to
control the business. With the exception
Of an inferior kind of cork wood growA in
Algiers to a limited extent all the
cork wood OF commerce comes from the
Spanish peninsula, where the trees
abound not only in cultivated forests, but
also grow wild on the mountains The tree
is like an American oak, with leaves SINH
lar to the oak. 1t takes ten years for the
bark to become of proper thickness to be-
manufactured into bottle-stoppers, life
preservers and seine corks. When stripped
from the tree it is boiled for two hours,
cured in the sun for a week and pressed
into fat pieces for baling and shipping.
The denuded trunk, like a hen robbed
of her eggs does not sulk and quit
the business, but throws out a fresh
covering for a fresh spoliation. One
tree has been known to yield as much
as one-half ton of cork wood One pound
OF cork can be manufactured into ono hun
dred and forty-four champagne corks The |
DaIed cork bark iS sold To corly p,,fo
cries in cities. The most extensive manu- |
factory in America is at Pittsburgh Be- |
sides the ordinary demands for cork wood, |
good supply of the buoyant material, after
being burned to make it still lighter than
the original bark, is shipped to Canada and
New England, where it is made into seine
sorks-Boston BUDGET.

quered your evil habits, by the grace of
| God, and become eternal victor. Oh, de-
spise not parental anxiety!
The time will come when you will have
neither father or mother, and you will go
around the place where they used to watch
you, and find them gone from the house,
and gone from the field, and gone from the
neighborhood. Cry as loud for forgiveness
as you may over the mound in the church
yard, they will not answer. Dead! Dead!
And then you will take out the white lock
of hair that was cut from your mothers
brow just before they buried her, and you
will take the cane with which your father
used to walk, and you will think and think,
and wish that you had done just as they
wanted you to, and would give the world
if you had never thrust pang through
their dear old hearts
God pity the young man who has brought
disgrace on his fathers name! God pity
the young man who has broken his moth
er's heart! Better if he had never been
born-better if in the first hour Of his life,
instead of being laid against the warm
bosom Of maternal tenderness, he had been
cofined and sepulchered. The1s Il no balm
powerful enough to heal the hart of one
who has brought parents to sorrowful
grave and who wanders about through the
dismal cemetery rending the hair and
wringing the hands, and crying: Mother!

cries of the past and by all the hopes of the
future, you would yield your heart to God.
May your fathers God, and your mother's
God, be your God forever!
