the close OF 1893. the report Caus-
Ell q selling movement OF large proper
tons which resulted IN a break of SIS per

tone during the first hour, but between II
O'Clock and noon was fairly firm aud
hiEher figures were made up 20 one
o'clock. A period OF depression FOL
lowed, the losses, however, becoming
merely fractional, and was succeeded by a
good market which lasted 10 delivery

tendency was downward and the final
trailing was heavy. Compared with YES

STAMP COLLECTORS.
They Were Not Desired In the Portland
Postohice.

They Were Not Desired In tho Portland
Postonice.
Persons engaged in making collec-
tions OF postage stamps should not
obtain situations In the postoffice, as
two subordinate employees in that in
stitution here have just been dis
charged on this account, says the
Portland Oregonian. For some time
complaints have been made that
stamps were taken from letters and
packages before they were delivered,
and at last this became a regular
nuisance. 1t was not possible to
find out who was taking the stamps,
so the matter was put In the hands
of an inspector, and after considera-
BILE trouble he ascertained that car
rler and distributor were the cul-
prits.
Sometimes stamps were taken of
letters or packages, and sometimes
the carrier would go out Of his way
to deliver letters with foreign or rare
stamps to beg the stamps from the
owner Sometimes packages adj
dressed to persons not known here
were thrown into the waste basket in
order that the stamps might be ap-
propriated. Foreign stamps and Co
lumbar stamps of the higher de-
nominations were the ones chiefly
desired.
Persons making collections of
stamps frequently have letters sent
to them from "out-of-the-way" cOun-
tries merely to get the stamps. and
when their letters turned up minus
the stamps there was trouble. Some
times letters arrive at the Office here
with the stamps gone, showing that
there are stamp collectors at other
offices. AS soon as it was found out
who the culprits were the depart
ment ordered their dismissal from
the service.

The Peat Fields of England.

Englishmen of science are turning
their attention to peat, otherwise
turf. the deposits of which fuel in
Great Britain and Ireland are too
numerous and extensive to admit OF
their being disregarded as potential
sources OF wealth. The government
has recently instituted an inquiry in
various peat producing countries Of
Europe as to The utilization of peat
and moss litter. Unfortunately, be-
ing a surface deposit, peat found no
recognized place in the maps of the
solid geology" of the country pre-
pared by our Geological Survey; but
the omission will, 1T Is believed, be
made good to some extent, in the
drift maps now in course OF construc-
tiOn. That they are very extensive
may be inferred from partial &C.
count of our peat boys which DR..
Fream has prepared and included in
a paper on this subject just published
in the Royal Agricultural Society's
Journal. Peat is very largely dug in
the moorlands of Somerset, near Ed
ington and Shapwick, between Glas-
tonbury and Highbridge. Some of
these beds have been worked for fuel
from the time of the Romans, and
probably earlier. In Devonshire, the
Torbay submerged forest comprises
peat beds that have yielded Roman
remains, and that rest on cay or
estuarine mud. On Dartmoor there
is peas in places thirty feet thick.
