OIL AS FUEL.
Tests Show That it is Cheaper and Better
Than Coal.

Tests Show That ir is Cheaper and Better
Than Coal.
At the convention of the National Electric
Light Association, M. ]. Francisco took up the
subject of the use of oil as fuel. He stated
that during the past few months the following
facts have been cleaned from an extensive cor
respondence on this subject with parties who
are using liquid fuel The Boston and Albany
Railroad Company, after a careful test made in
their shops by a Lehigh University professor.
say that the cost of fuel is about the same.
Though they purchase their coal in large guam
titles at one time and secure low rates, they
prefer liquid fuel, because it Is clean and re-
qutres no firemen, and gives q better supply of
steam. Day, Cordage 4 Co., of Boston, Claim
that with Cumberland coal at "a so per ton and
liquid fuel at 81 Is per barrel, they save Is
cents per 100 horsepower per hour, and the oil
is preferable. The Fairbanks Scale Company,
OF Vermont. report that they find it great
saving over coal, while the boilers are heated
evenly the entire length; also that the insur-
ance companies have not increased their rates.
L. 7. Brown, manager of the Toledo, Columbus
and Southern Railway reports a saving of 33
per cent of the price of coal by using liquid
fuel; also that two barrels Of oil equal one ton
Of soft coal, while manufacturers on this road
tnd 1t only costs one-half as much as coal for
their stationary boilers.

Money in Florida Oranges.

Florida orange growers predict that in a few
years the States of Florida, Louisiana and CALI
fornia will be able to supply the entire demand
for this delicious fruit. The pecuniary motive
for engaging in orange culture is sufficiently
strong, as appears from the fact that while an
acre devoted to the culture of cotton will pro-
duce crop worth $50, awell-estabIished orange
grove will yield 500 an acre at the low price of
81 box. George r. Fairbanks, President of
the Florida Fruit Exchange, in an address be-
fore the American Pomological Convention, re-
Gently held at Ocala, said: when we realize
that more than one-fftieth of the orange trees
in Florida are bearing, we are amazed at the
possible and probable future development Of
this industry" The present total domestic pro-
duction is about 4, 900. 900 boxes of which Cali
fol mia and Louisiana furnish about one-quarter,
and the imports from abroad amount to about
5000, 600 boxes in addition.

A FURRY IN ELECTRIC.
1t Sells Up to 81 1-2, but weaksns In the
Afternoon.

Westinghouse Electric was the strong card at
the opening of the stock market yesterday,
there being a large and eager demand for it.
Sales were made at IS. Sc. 561z and 561S on the
floor. Outside, Henry NJ. Long disposed of $50
shares at 5515, Sc, 81 and 5715 These were the
top prices of the day. There was less demand
ed lack of staying qualities, which some ac-
cepted as an indication of a reaction. Others
thought the depression was only temporary,
and pointed to the fact that it still very low
in comparison with the Edison and other cleo
trio stocks, claiming, also, that its purchase by
Eastern people as an investment was proof that
capitalists have confidence in the future of the
Philadelphia Gas was stronger. selling up to 81.
One hundred shares of Central Traction were
sold at A-an advance. Switch and Signal was
a trif1e weaker, while La Noria was hardly
thought of.

FRIDAY, March 10 4oo1
Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Fruit and vegetables are, If anything, slower
than at any time since the ingathering Of fruits
and crops. Old potatoes, onions and cabbage
are very poor stock, and grow poorer as the
season approaches its goal. Already new stuff
begins to show up from the sunny South and
the old must soon take back seat. The de-
mand for eggs is good, but prices do not ad-
vance. Country and creamery butter sell read
lily, but there are no signs Of q rise. New maple
syrup is not as active as it was on its first ap-
pearance, and prices show dropping tendencies.
