THE FINANCIAL WORLD.

From Sundays New York Tribune.
The stock market would have been
dull the past week had it not been for
Reading and ~ugar. They made things
lively at times. Apart from them not
much has been done, and the tendency
of prices has been toward Improvement
One cause of this was the better state Of
affairs in London, where the settlement
passed off with only one or two unim-
portant failures 1t is known that Lon
don pools in st. Pauls, in Erie. and in
Louisville and Nashville had to liGuidate.
and the outpour of these stocks on our
market came from that direction. The
selling seems to be over, and the COM
parative trmness which the stocks are
showing now may be taken as indicating
that the market has absorbed the for
eign supplies. Had there been a pool in
Northwest, and that had come to grief
as the others did, Northwest would
easily have gone to par instead
of holding steady : or 3
points above it through all the
racket made bv the other selling. The
stock which yet threatens to break Is
Illinois Central, simply because investors
VIII certainly take alarm and sell out if
the earnings of the company continue to
decreas as they have for the past three
months. The experience of Rock Island
and Burlington will be repeated. Above
par not much stock was afioat. invest
ent holdings only having been slightly
disturbed; but when the increasing un-
favorable outlook has dislodged enough
enough of these stocks TO keep the price
below par, then more and more supplies
poured into the street. until both Bur-
lington and Rock Island Were transferred
from the strictly investment TO the trad
ing list, where they are now. Illinois
Central stock appears 10 be surely pro-
crossing IN the same direction. Bur
hngton made an unfavorable September
statement, and the traders attacked il.
but they found much resistance between

given drove the small bears 10

bond issue by the company continues TO
circulate, but il Is officially denied. This
does not seem 10 be the time that a
company would choose to put out new
bonds. Rock Island continues steady,

The Forum for November.

| The November number of the Forum
| contains articles that tr5 at of three
| phases Of agricultural depression. One
! Is by Mr.. c, Wood Davis, the Kansan
student of our agricultural development,
who, under the title of 1.-THE Probabili-
ties of Agriculture" writes a reply to the
recent article by Prince kropotkin on
1.-THE Possibilities of Agriculture. Mr..
Davis shows by a review of the crops of
the world that approximately the limit
of production has been reached. He pre-
diets that food will become dearer and
dearer, and that in few years we shall
import food into the United States. In
another article Mr.. Daniel r. Goodloe,
of Washington, presents the startling
statistics as nearly complete as they
have been made, of the farm mortgages
in all the most important western states
which shows that the Independent small
farmer in these states is gradually be-
coming extinct; and in the third article,
the Rev. DIR. Washington GLADDEN. re-
views the organizations of farmers, re-
cites their motives, and points out the
valuable part of their work and influence.
Two American race questions are dis
cussed: The Progress of the Negro" by
the Rev. ID. A. Mayo, who after twenty
five years close study of the problem,
sets forth his hopeful conclusions, which
are very complimentary to both races in
the south; and French Canadians and
the Dominion" by w. Blackburn Harte,
a Canadian writer. Mr.. Harte reviews
the rise and explains the aims of the
Catholic hierarchy in Canada, which, he
argues, will rule or ruin the Dominion if
it can.

THE METAL OF THE FUTURE.

The discovery recently made by Prof.
Hirsch, Chicago chemist, of a making
aluminium cheaply, is attracting wide
| spread attention on account of the gen.
eral impression that such a discovery
would revolutionize industry, since from
the remarkable quantities of the metal,
and the immense supply of the ore, there
was needed only cheapness in its produc-
ton to render it a substitute for so many
other metals.
These qualities that make it such de-
sirable substance for almost all purposes
for which other metals are used, are
given by Bradstreets as follows: 1T
melts at red heat, and can be cast in
molds. When cast it is as soft as silver,
but it can then be hammered or rolled 70
become almost as hard as iron. 1t can be
drawn into wire as fine as a spiders web,
or can be beaten into leaf as thin as gold.
Neither air nor water affects it, for it
neither furnishes nor rusts. 1t can be
alleged, or made into bronze, so that
the composite metal will have q trans
verse strength equaled only by the finest
quality of crucible steel, and a tensile
streng n greater than that of any other
metal. Most important of ali. it is far
lighter than any of the meta! now in
general use"
In regard to a supply an enthusiastic
scientist has declared that one-twentieth
of the earth's crust is composed of
aluminium, and the only reason Of its not
being brought into general use, was its
great cost, resulting from the difficulty
in extracting it from the other elements,
with which it is mixed But now that
obstacle is removed if 2 ofessor Hirschs
claim is correct that he can produce
it at less than fifteen cents a pound.
Bradstreet's says that even at 81
pound, aluminium is not as high as it
looks, as aluminium is almost three
times as bulky as iron, weight for
weight it is more than four times as
bulky as silver, and more than seven
times as bulky as gold. Then if silver
were 81 an ounce, and aluminium 81
pound, silver would be really fifty times
the more costly, bull for bulk; alumni
mum at 81 pound would be only twice
as costly as copper at 10 cents pound"
On account of this heapness then, and
possessing such superior lightness,
strength, malleability, ductility, ETC., al |
minimum hi fair to be the coming |
metal, not only for those articles made |
from other me ais, but even for things |
which no other metal could make, of |
which the air ship now being construct
ed of this metal somewhere in Illinois,
Is an example.

THE WORLDS WOOL SUPPLY.

An English authority states the tota
annual production of wool in the world
at 100000 hundred weight q, 792, OOO,-
600 pounds). The estimated value is
e30O, 600, 900, or $685., OO0,0 00 The mum.
Der of sheep in Europe is estimated al
200, 000, 900, which furnish 4, 00O, 900 hun.
bred weight of wool of an estimated
value of e36, 100000. Morocco, Algiers
and Tunis grow a considerable quantity,
while France produces 70 per cent less
than it did forty years ago. The
European countries are ranked in the
following order: First, Russia; sec
ond. Great Britain; third, Germany:
fourth, France; fifth, Austria Hungary;
sixth, Italy; seventh, Spain. The East
Indies and China produce about 5000, 900
hundred weight of wool per annum.
We may state in this connection that in
1894 our sheep numbered 50,626, 626
head, valued at S119.9O2, zoo, producing
300, 000, 900 pounds of wool
Since that time the sheep of the coun-
try have steadily decreased year by year.
until last spring we had but %, 999, 079
sheep, producing 265,00O,O 900 pounds of
wool. Our homegrown woods are mostly
fine and medium woods. Our import
woods are mostly clothing, combing and
carpet woods. Our average imports
from 1880 TO 1889 We're clothing woods,
19,305,010 pounds; of combing woods,
1854, 1913 pounds, and of carpet woods,
60, 4S4, 036 pounds, or an average of S.
443, 309 pounds yearly.

GOOD OLD PEDRO.

The English government has at last
recognized the Republic OF Brazil: and,
strange 10 say, it was the de, laratiou of
the deposed monarch, Dom Pedro. that
caused this action. For. not till the
former emperor had completed his act of
self-abnegation by assuring the queen Of
England that he had no intention of
seeking restoration 10 the throne of
Brazil, and that the republic established
there will be the permanent form of gov
eminent, was the republic recognized by
the English government.
1t is pity.that this peaceful Brazilian
revolution could not have taken place
after the death Of such a wise and liberal
ruler; although, perhaps. it is better SO.
as his Successors, that would have been,
do not seem 70 possess as peaceful dis
positions, and blood might have resulted.
1t would not be surprising, indeed. if
these SUCCESSORS, after the death of the
ex-emperor, would be to Brazil the
plotters and schemers, which the han
ished ''rulers by divine right are to
France.
