COnfectIOners, Disease.

A disease peculiar to confectioners has
been recently observed in France. 1t oc-
ours principally in persons engaged in the
manufacture of candied fruits and candied
chestnuts. The affection is restricted to the
nails of the hands, and usually first makes
its appearance at the sides of the nails, the
periungual portion becoming lOosened and
raised up, the nail losing its polish and be-
coming black. In more advanced cases an
inhamed swelling appears at the base of the
nail. The nail is rough, scaly, and in some
cases broken in several fragments, but is
never cast off in its entirety. In the earlier
forms of the disease very little pain is ex-
perienced, and the patient is able to go on
with his work. The disease disappears as
soon as the work is discontinued, although a
deformed nail and fat or bent terminal
phalanx is apt to remain. In a large
number of candy factories visited, not one
was found in which there were not from one
to three Eorkmen suffering from the disease.
The affection is caused by handling and
working in the various substances employed
IN the manufacture of candies, among which
are mallic, tartaric and cItric acids. The
hands are alternately in hot and cold liquids,
and this is another fertile source of mischief.
1t would be interesting to know whether this
disease exists in this country, where the
manufacture of candies is SO extensive.

Some Well DigeBred Pointers for the Bene.

By John NJ. Oakley 90. Is Private Wire.l
NEW YORK, November 3O.-The bears are in
control They have made the money this fan.
and are pressing their advantage. Naturally
they are in the minority, but they are aggres-
sive, and their purses are full of spoils. They
have confidence now in their own judgment,
while the bulls are dismayed at the heavy
losses and unexpected series OF market catas-
trophies. Sugar got severe break to-day Of
points. from top to bottom. Cleveland, Oolum-
bus, Cincinnati and st. Louis broke ~ points,
and Chicago Gas per cent. Early in the
session there was . disposition to cover by
room traders, who play for small profits, and
who like to close their books every Saturday, II
not every day. The rally was feeble and short
lived, and 1t soon gave way 70 general and ex-
treme weakness, which manifestly was due to
compulsory liquidation or fright.
The Reading statement for October did not
help matters any, as it showed . loss OF Sl03-
900 on the railway business. The Coal and
Iron Company make no report but from the
well-known depression and dullness in the coal
trade it is fair to assume that its figures would
not make satisfactory showing. Reading stock
is supported with great tenacity by bull pool,
which thinks there Is big short interest in
the stock, but we believe II will break early
next week. The Cleveland, Columbus, Cincin-
natl and st. Louis STOCK mas Deen very weak.
It was watered and bulled up on the new con-
solidation and the connection Of the Drexel-
Morgan-V Vanderbilt party with the enterprise.
The st. Louis and San Francisco stock has
been having q hard time IN the market, and
from all accounts the road win be kept busy
earning its fixed charges. Its stock Is pretty
sure to work lower. but It Is not widely dis
tributed.
A synopsis report Of the Postmaster General
was published in one Of the morning papers,
and It states that Wanamaker viii ask Con-
gress for power to contract with responsible
parties for limited telegraph service in con-
nection with the postal department. Silver
will be exhaustively discussed by Secretary
Window, and it is probable that he will try to
please both sides Of this question. The ad-
ministration will hardly propose or favor any
thing of radical character, but the West has
a silver bee in its bonnet and will press free
coinage and probably in the end effect an en-
largement Of coinage under some restrictions.
The fight over currency questions deranges
business much in the same way as discussion
over the length Of yard stick would check
mercantile engagements. The market looks
bad at the moment, and enforced liquidation
Monday appears probable. The bank state
ment was about q sJand-oh, showing an in
crease in reserve of 100000. Even petroleum
felt the beatish influences, closing at the bot
tom.

MANUFACTURED MUMMIES.

ular Egyptian Article.

EdIsOn Says That He Can Discount the Rsr.
ular Egyptian Article.
Drake's Magazine.l
Prof. Edison processes to be able to mann
facture, by means of electricity, an ar
ticle of mummy which will entirely
put out of joint the nose Of
any preserved Egyptian with whom
antiquarians have made us familiar. and at
the same time, fill long-felt want. Mr..
Edison's theory is that current of
1000 volts will dry all the moisture ont
of mans system. This is gratifying news
to persons who desire to have their relatives
preserved in genteel and ENDURING form
and enable them to keep the deceased with.
in, or at a reasonable distance from their
own homes. Mr.. Edison may find a formi-
dable rival ia the man whb proposes to con.
struct vases, statuettes and other articles Of
vertu, out of solidifed human ashes: still
there are many who will patronize the
mummy industry.
IF the great inventor would still further
extend his great experiments and show how
to electfify the living bOdy-Conpress for
example-he may in time deserve the thanks
of Boston and the nation at large.

DOWN WITH A RUSH.
Heavy Liquidation Takes All the Strength
Away From Railroad shares-The
Trusts Prominent in the
Downward Movement.


NEW YORK, November 3O-The stock mar
ket to-day was active, feVerish, irregular and
weak, and prices are materially lower all over
the list than last evening, Notwithstanding the
favorable bank statement. The bears were ex-
tremely active and aggressive, and large
amounts of shorts were put out, but the
heaviest liquidation seen for a long time was
INDUCED in. and in few stocFs prices came
down with a rush. The Trusts were again
prominent in the downward movement, and
while Chicago Gas was forced OF still further it
became comparatively firm in the last hour,
and was supported at from l to per cent above
the lowest figure. Sugar took its place, how
ever. and long stocks came out literally, and
befoye the close of the session SO was reached,
against 661S last evening.
The most important movement in the rail-
road list. however, was in Cleveland, Columbus,
Cincinnati and st. Louis, and from dullness it
sprang into activity, while price declined as
rapidly as that of Sugar, and it reached 661<
before the downward movement was checked,
though partial recovery took place in the last
few minutes The drop was occasioned by the
throwing over Of block Of stock held In a
brokers' Office for the account OF an operator
who Is in financial difficulties. Among the
other stocks of the regular list the declines
from the best prices generally ranged up to
per cent, the most conspicuous being the Ches-
apeake and Ohio and San Francisco, the first

to calls for more margin, which precipitated

There were several causes for this. the
break in stocks on the New York Exchange
was one of them. Another was the indisposi-
ton OF the traders to begin new deals at the
end Of the month. and with holiday just be-
fore them. This left the market without sup
port Still another cause was the scarcity OF
money for speculation. Added to these oe-
pressing influences was the belief that the
Standard was behind the slump, and tnat "
would not cease its manipulations until sun
lower level had been reached.
Considerable business was transacted durlng
the day, accompanied by no small degree OF
excitement, but as 1t was mostly OF the scalp
ing sort, for which there was good oppor-
tunity, no large blocks changed hands and the
aggregate of the sales was smaller than on
several previous days OF the week.
A good deal was done in cash and January
oil, the former at a fraction below and the
latter from q to cent above the regular op-
tion. The difference between the highest price
on Monday and the lowest yesterday was SUN:
cient to insure big profits on the bear side, and
In many cases they were realized. The pulls
are losing faith in statistics.
