ALUMINIUM TO BE CHEAP.
ANOTHER PROCESS FOR EXTRACTING
THE VALUABLE METAL.

No Electricity This Time and the Chemical
Reagents Are Not Expensive Big
Plants Projected and $500 Ton is
the Price to be Reached.
SPECIAL TKLEGhAM TO THE DTspArnHJ
LoCKPoRT, n. Y, November 29.-For
some time past the Cowles Electric Sme1t-
ing and Aluminium Company, OF Lock port,
has been preparing to produce pure alumni
mum by q new process which appears to be
fnality in solving the problem of the
cheap extraction of this useful metal from
the common clay. Eugene II. Cowles,
President of the company here, said:.
"Pure aluminium in the iDgot, not contain
ing over 1 a per cent OF impurity, is selling
to-day in Engla nd st 81 25 per pound. The
same metal sells in this country at 81 per
pound. With the duty at only Is cents per
pound it will not be long before the market
price here should drop 10 the English price,
plus the duty and cost of importation. 1
therefore assume that the present worth of
pure aluminium in the United States
is 81 so per pound when furnished in
wholesale lots in ingots containing not over
the above per cent OF impurity. We sell
the same metal 10 our iron alloys at 81 for
the contained aluminium.
"In the United States there are but two
concerns THAT prouuce dlulniuuln. Iney are
the Pittsburg Reduction Company, and the
one in Lockport, n. Y. Heretofore we
have only produced aluminium in the form
of alloy; but now by reason of two unique
and beautiful chemical discoveries it is
found that the pure metal can be extracted
direct from the clay. This is a new process
and entirely chemical. The reagents used
are almost as cheap as the mud itself, and
electrical heat isn't needed. Patents on
| every step Of the process are applied for.
When operated on as large scale as that in
which iron is produced aluminium should
be made so cheaply that itcould sell for 5000
per ton, o price less than the present price of
copper.
alterations will at once be made in the
Lock port works to make the metal on a large
scale by the new process. Two groups of
capitalists in New York City are also pre-
pairing to build immense new works prob
ably 20 times the capacity of the Lockport
works. One OF the large plants will be To-
Gated at Niagara Falls where 10000 horse
power will be required to operate it. The
plant will likely he in operation in July,
1892 As methods have lately been discov-
cred by which the metal can be hardened
and its strength greatly increased without
interfering materially with its toughness and
great lightness. it would really seem as if
the aluminium age was at hand"

Local Stocks Find Another Bottom to

The wreckers obtained full control of the

became ratified, and some of them sold. Phila-
delphia Gas had no support and reached a

down to ISL. but closed a fraction better on a
late order. Other natural gas stocks let go in
sympathy with the leader, CHARTERS selling at
~ and Wheeling being bid down to 1871. Man
ufacturers' Gas held its own. Electric took
another backward step. while the fractions
were mere wall howers. Switch was not wanted
and had no bids.
There was nothing new in conditions. The
well-worked rumors Of the past week or two
were banded about. Even the Gasers had
their friends The slump was mainly due to
the difficulty of getting money on stock collat-
eral and to the weakness of the Eastern mar
kets. The close was generally at or near the
lowest point of the week. Brokers were by no
means confident that bottom had been'touched.
That depends upon the financial standing of
the holders. Sellers during the week were
heavy losers.

Christmas and other holidays. Several coun-
ellis went TO the unnecessary trouble of asking
Tor dispensations for Thanksgiving Day.

Pushing 1T Along.

The Turtle Creek Railroad is being pushed to
completion as fast as money and muscle can do
it. This road begins at Stewart station, on the
Pennsylvania Railroad. II miles from Pitts
burg, proceeds up Turtle creek to Murrays-
vile, thence along Turtle Creek Valley to Dee
mont and thence to Salisbury, where it inter-
sects with the West Penn road. 1t has been
graded and is nearly ready for the ties as far as
Murraysville.
The road passes through the richest part of
Westmoreland county, both IN agricultural and
mineral resources. and will bring into market a
large area of the best gas coal In the State, be-
sides atfording farmers a much-needed outlet
for their products. The prospect is good for
new year.

A Plea for Moderate Rents.

There are those who think. and not without
reason, that there is danger of house owners
going beyond the reach of renters. On this
subject leading broker remarked yesterday:
1T is poor policy on the part of an owner to
charge tenant more than his business will
allow him pay. This is often done because
the tenant dislikes to move or is unable to get
another house. Houses are so scarce that
tenants are completely at the mercy of owners.
Some owners take advantage of this and play
Shylock. They get the promise of a high
rental and when the tenant, through sickness
or ACCIDENT fails to pay they wonder why it is
not rejecting that the tenant is unable to Jay
by anything for rainy day. The owner should
either refuse an applicant outright or put the
price on level with his income.
II think enough houses will go up in the next
two or three years to reduce rents to the actual
paying capacity of the industrial element of
our citizens"

Possibility of Whirl in Prices This Week
Silver q Purchase.

Possibility of whirl in Prices This Week
Silver Purchase.
The condition of and outlook for speculation
are fairly presented in the following telegraph
ic letter to John NJ. Oakley & Co.:
This morning before the opening we wired
many of our largest clients that we expecte ed
lower prices for to-day and next week. The
market has not acted right and it looks as il
we had passed the level of maximum prices for
the rest of this year. The rise has been rapid
and not fully justified. There has been some
manipulation and a great deal of romancing
and dreaming about Gould's plans Imagina-
tion and manipulation have forced the market
up and the shorts out. 1t is, of course, possi-
Bile that another whirl may be given to prices
next week, but much of the bull motive power
has been spent.
1t is fair to suppose that the short interest
was increased to-day, and if the market is weak
Monday it will be further increased. There
will doubtless be great pressure on Congress
for initiating measures, and if they are yielded
TO we shall probably have q surplus of ready
money next spring and probably big bull
market. Silver was strong and in our judg-
ment it is the safest and best thing on the list
TO buy. The bank statement was nominally
favorable, showing an increase in reserves of
S292.000. but the banks lost about half million
on actual cash.
