MONEY IN ABrNDAxCE


Money, although it rules in this city at
2 per cent. on call, is no more abundant
than it Is for the moment in London or
Berlin. In the German capital, funds
are loaning as low as l = per cent. and
in London the quotation yesterday was
l]6@lK per cent. New ventures are
continually spriHging up. We hear that
the New Durham salt company, limited ;,
with capital of ESQ 900 in 50 shares has
just been formed in the latter city with a
view of manufacturing salt and other
chemical products. All kinds of enter
prises, good, bad or Indifferent, are
fiourishing, and will continue to flourish
while there are any chances of making

Sugar is dull and weak. Philadelphia
still undersells the New York market on
refined sugars, and is said to be deliver

rate charged for stock by Gotham refin-
ers. Latest mail advices from London
report very slow and unsatisfactory mar
ket for cane sugars, the market being

agriculture supplied about 1871 per cent.
of the entire exports, against 10 per cent.
of manufactures, 81 p per cent. of forest
products, and 81 = per cent. of mining
products. BTeadstuffs alone supplied
1917 per cent. and provisions, including
meats and dairy products, 1879 per cent.

twenty eight years the surplus products
of agriculture have supplied IS 10 SO per

Molcrn surgical Marycls.

y startling advance i'll surgical science has
been made 10y DR.. Maxmilim Klein. u Ger
man military surgeon. The particulars are
given 10y the professional Journal Mcmora-
bilirn. y man accidentally cut off his left
great toe in the middle of the first joint The
severed piece remained hanging To the foot,
but the connecting skin was scarcely thicker
than Il thread. DR. Klein scwcd on the fras-
ment, dressed it with iodoform, and had the
satisfaction III twenty-five days of finding the
wound healed and the toe perfectly sound and
flexible. Encouraged by the unexpected re-
suit i'll this case, DIR. Klein was induced to
apply the same treatment again.
\ recruit, in order to disable himself and
socSrapr from military service, deliberately
cut of his forciingcr with an aN at tho Sec
ond joint. Tho finger end was lost and could
not he found until half an hour had elapsed.
Ii was then cold and blue Nevertheless
Dr. Klein sewcd it to the stump and
applied Il bandagc of ioloform ga,,zc AS
early us the second day it was evident that
circulation had hccn partly rc-cstablshr,l
throughout the finger, and i'll six weeks the
man had not only left the hospital, but was
doing the very rifle drill which he had hoped
to shirk. The finger was in fact, as service
able rs 1t ever had been.
These stories read almost like extracts from
the exploits of Baron Munchauscn. That
they are clironiclcd i'll Nlrmorabilcn is how
ever, evidence of their truth. English sur
geons will not he So unwilling to credit then,
as they would have been in the days before

never knew till quito recently how easy
it was to open n paddock without key We
moved toa new house week or two ago, u
dozen blocks west of Grand avenue. We
took with us some exceptionally fine chickens,
including a rooster, which weighs fifteen
pounds, and which has to bo lifted on to its
perch each night Tho chicken and coal
houses aro attached in our new yard, and
when tho first load of coal arrived my wife
was out and | couldn't find tho key. The
coloret man who hauled the coal got mpa-
tent, aud, taking from his pocket small
piece of very dirty wood, proceeded to insert
it in the paddock, which he opened in trce.
The ease with which no performed the feat
was a revelation to me, and the way lie looked
at my pct rooster was n warning. Before
went to bed that night was tho owner of u
new paddock, with patent arrangement,
which tho vcndcr assured mo would defy the

chickens aro still on hand-St. Louis Globe
