INF BLACK SEA.
TIE Exploration of This Sea by the Rus.
sian Government a Success

Tue Exploration of This Sea by the Rus.
sian Government Success,
The expedition which the Russian gov
eminent fitted on early in the summer tc
explore the Black sea was very successful
in It's Iabors. 1t has achieved results
which may be Of the greatest importance
to the nautical and geological science.
The whole expedition was divided into
three distinct departments, the meteorlog-
ic and physical, the chemical and the
biological. The first was to make obser-
yations on the changes in the air, in so
far as they affected the surface Of the
Black sea, in relation to the quality of the
waters IN various parts. The chemical
department was to examine the cOnstitu-
ent elements Of the waters, and the bio
logical department was to investigate the
nature Of the living beings in the various
parts Of the sea. All such observations
have been made at the meteorological
stations on the dry land. The object Of
the expedition was 70 make them on board
Of the vessel at the spot which appeared
the most interesting TO the scientists so
that time and distance should as little as
possible affect the objects of examination
The full report Of the work of the expedi-
ton was submitted TO the Imperial Geo
graphical Society Of st Petersburg, and
will be published soon after it is read and
approved by the society,
From the preiiminar, reports of the
heads Of the expedition it appears that Of
great importance to geology will be the
discovery made as to the constituent ele-
nents Of the water OF the Black sea. II
vas found that from the depth Of 100
sa2hens (about l35 fathomsl + the bottom
of the sea the waters in all parts are
strongly saturated with hydro.sulphuri
acid and that consequently no animal life
can exist at that depth. This discovery
disproyes the hitherto accepted hypothesis
that the Black sea was originally a sweet
water lake and that it became salt watered
and inpregnated with hydro-sulrhuric
acid since the Bosphorus began flowing
into it. The waters of the Bosphorus,
according 10 the investigations of the ex
petition, could not affect the sea to such
an enormous extent.
The Black sea is deeper in the eastern
than in the western part. The deepest
places are between the coasts of Asia
Minor and the Crimea. In che place the
explorers have found a dept of l ,240
sazhens. Samples Of the water at various
depths and OF different localities. as well
as samples of the soil at the bottom Of the
sea, and archaeological specimens were
brought TO st Petersburg and submitted

Do Examiners Examine i an Inter
esting Question to Bankers and
Business Men.
A Public Accountant Gives Some Good
Reasons Why Facts Cannot
Be Reached.
Some Things These Officials Ought to
Know to be OF Practical
Utility.

At the present time there is hardly a
more pertinent question among business
men or one more frequently asked than
DO bank examiners examine? and there
Is scarcely one In which they take d more
genuine or lively interest. In spite OF
some misgivings when bank has failed
or been robbed, it has hitherto been sup
posed that the system Of national bank
examination was well nigh perfect, and
that in the examiners themselves stock.
holders and depositors alike had a corps
of vigilant guards, who would etfectualiy
prevent any malteasance OF bank officials.
This supposition has received so rude q
shock during the past year that on all
sides is heard a,demand for real examina-
tons and for a method which will lead to
the detection Of fraud some little time be-
fore I bank is Quilted.
Some of the imperfections Of the present
system Of bank examinations and some of
the erru N bank practice are pointed out
by Jar'cs Warrington, public account
ant, who has bad long experience in the
auditing Of accounts OF business corpor-
ations and whose criticism Of the methods
of examination employed In the case of
the Keystone Bank, of Philadelphia, was
given a few days ago. In reply to a re-
Borter's request for some suggestions as
to the means to be employed to secure
examinations which should reveal the true
condition of banks he said:
This subject has engaged my attention
for some years past, and think J know
something about the difficulties of the
work and the most practical ways of man
aging it. But before the remedy is APP
piled we must know something Of the
disease, so let me tell you something Of
what bank examiners have to contend
with. So FAR as | can see there is not
among business men that clear perception
of the reasons for the failure of the system
which is neces, AIRY preliminary to the
formulation and adoption of better one.
Neither does there seem to be any clear
understanding of what is really involved
in bank examination. ! have held for
some years, and still hold, that the
methods Of examination now practiced
are really useless, and that there is only
one method which is at once PRACTICAL and
efficient.

Active and Higher-Provisions
Excited and Irregular.
CHICAGO-The speculative trading to-day
was strongly in favor of higher prices ana
opened with an immediate advance for all the
leading commodities. The tone thus early i'm
parted was maintained throughout the session,
but considerable advance over prices paid
Immediately at the start which subsequently
occurred was afterward dropped, so that the
the frst brush. So far as wheat was concerned
fine prospects for the coming crop in this coun-
try were arrayed against the damage already
done to the crop of Europe, and the days re-
ports were strongest In the latter particular.
The opening price for the May delivery was
81 041< and it advanced to 81 04h, then declined
TO 81 04, gradually reacted to 81 04ss before
making its greatest break to 81 OS4. 1t tne1
advanced to 81 05 in an irregular way, and
broke to 81 0z14. The free realizing of prohts
on early purchases was chiefly responsible for
the setback to prices toward the close.
The corn market was strong and nervous. 1t
started at anywhere from CSC to 6Ssssc for May,
but weakened and sold off to 67ssc There was
q heavy irregular range in the subsequent huc-
tuations, but the feeling of strength developed
at the opening was for the greater part of the
day fairly maintained. There was squirt in
the latter half OF the session which took May
up to 691zc. This was caused by scarcity OF the
cash offerings compelling one OF the heaviest
local users of corn to buy from the elevator
stocks at 1c over the prlce current for the May
delivery. The July did not respond to the ex-
treme bulge in May, but it also ruled firm and
occasionally strong.
The transactions in oats at the opening price
were light: the demand was urgent and there
was nothing IN consequence for sale, hence an
advance of 4@15c was recorded before the
trade became general. Values were fully ic
higher early when there was considerable
realizing which caused a corresponding de-
cline. The anxiety of the shorts to cover
turned the tide the other way for a time
but the close was weak with prices sake
higher than Saturday.
The provision market was excited by the ad-
vance in the price OF hogs reported from the
stock yards. The prices paid were very irregu-
lar but higher. Commission houses found it
difficult to execute orders satisfactorily under
the rapid running up and down of values.
May pork opened anywhere from Sl2 So to
Sl3 90. 1t sold off TO Sl2 7713, and again ad-
vanced to Sl3 30, and closed at Sl2 S. Lard
and ribs were equally irregular and excited,
but closed with The greatest part of the early
bulge lost.
