1.-THE word precious cannot be APP
piled to moonstones," said a well
known dealer in jewelry, because
their marketable value is relatively
small at all times, and is still further
influenced by the DEGREES of fashion.
For some years past we have had but
few calls for moonstones, but about
twelve months ago they were restored
to popular favor, and will probably
continue to be much used for some
time to come. The stones come from
India, are easily procured, and there
Is but little waste in cutting. They
are almost invariably Of a blush
white tint, the rays of the most per-
feet stones much resembling moon
light (hence the name), those of a less
clear or yellowish hue being of but
little value. When carved, the clear
transparency of the stone is of course
marred, but many of them are so en-
b%ellished, the man in the moon being
u favorite device, and a baby's face
surrounded with a cap of pearls or
diamonds another"
The moonstone is seldom worn alone
by fashionable people, having usually
an accompanying setting of diamonds
or other precious stones. In response
to a question the dealer added: THE
largest moonstone / have ever seen
was one of oblong shape about II
inches in length and ( Of an inch in
width. This was set to represent a
butterfly with partially closed wings
of brilliantly colored stones, and was
intended to be worn as a pendant.
These stones are not valued by weight
as others are, but simply by appear
ance and size, a perfectly round stone
being more desirable than a flatter one
and more rare.
AS the moonstone is additionally
lucky, it is most suitable for souvenirs,
parting and anniversary gifts, and
from present indications will be much
used for favors and wedding presents
during the coming gay season.-New
York Sun.

admiral ID. ID. Porter, who once went
to North Africa to secure camels for in
PRODUCTION into America, said in a
recent interview: In their campaigns
against Algiers. the French were
surprised to see their camels, al
though reduced to skeletons, making
forced marches with their loads. Mules
in their condition could not have carried
even their saddles. A camel,s flesh is
as good as beef. You can hardly tell one
meat from the other. Cancels milk is
very good, as | can testify, because |
used it in my coffee. A camel generally
drinks once in three days, and besides
his four stomachs he carries a sort of
reservoir in which he stores water. |
have been told that even ten days after
the death of a camel this reservoir can be
opened and ten or fifteen pints of clear.
drinkable water taken from it.
ION one occasion six camels carried
3,64S pounds of oats and made the jour
ney in much quicker time than two wag-
ons, each drawn by six mules, and to-
gether carrying about the same weight
of load. On a very heavy road a caravan
of III camels carried from San Antonio
nearly two tons Of oats, making about
twenty miles a day. The roads were
such that wagons could not have been
used at all. l believe this is an expert
ment worth trying again. The camel
would not only MAKE a valuable adjunct
to our army in the northwest and west,
but believe the day is coming in which
he will be domesticated as a beast of
burden all through the southern and
middle regions of this country"

From Wall Street To-day.

NEW YORK, June THE opening OF the

fairly active business, which, however, was n,

prices were generally from TO u per cent
higher than last nights figures, though some
stocks we're unchanged and q few slightly
lower. The business done was concentrated
principally in about half dozen stocks, such
as st. Paul. Union Pacific, Tennessee Coal, New
England, and Northern Pacific preferred. the
remainder being, as a rule, duh and uninter-
esting. The tone Of the regular list was firm
and further slight gains were recorded, but
Tennessee Coal was the strong feature, rising
Ia, while Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line
gained per cent each and the rest small
fractions. The trust stocks were weaker, and
Cotton Oil retired q, and lead q smaller frac-
ton, while sugar and Chicago gas advanced

after opening at ~. against 20 last evening.
rapidly declined to o91z 1, and in the latter por-
ton Of the hour the general list developed
some weakness, and many stocks were carried
below the opening figures. At IL o'clock the
market was only fairly active and heavy to
weak, generally at small fractions under the
opening prices.

the power Of . mighty empire behi him, but
he u likely to discover, within few days, that
even q crown minister, when he attempts to
make water run up hill, may sometimes fail.
The international corn market will be held
here next week by his express order, promul-
gated two weeks ago. 1t has been customary
for many years to hold this international corn
market in Vienna, and heretofore the sales con-
summated at these annual gatherings of the
corn factors OF Europe have been enormous
OF recent years, however there has been a
marked falling off OF the trade, owing to the
withdrawal Of the Jewish corn factors, who
gave Vienna q wide birth because Of the preva-
lence OF the anti-semitic movement here Last
year the transactions were unimportant and
the number Of merchants who attended very
small The local corn exchange had come to
realize that
VIENNA HAD LOST IT'S PRESTIGE
rs an international market and were consider
ing the advisabiity OF abandoning the attempt
to hold the usual market next month, when the
minister Of commerce interfered and wrote to
the president OF the exchange ordering that
the international market be held as usual. The
order will be obeyed. but no one expects that the
market Will amount to anything. The Jewish
merchants are determined to stay away, and as
a very large share OF the corn business of
Europe il in their hands this alone would doom
the event to failure. But the absence of this
elment will undoubtedly result i'll other corn
merchants keeping away, and the result must
be dismal failure, IN which the minister Of
commerce is sure to cut a sorry figure.

eminent has decided to assume the manage
