MARKET REPORTS.

tiops and surplus funds in bank
characterize business conditions.
There is little that is far reaching
attending evidences OF improvement
reported from the West.
At Louisville there is more demand
for groceries and the leaf tobacco mar
ket is quiet and active, good usi-
ness being reported. There is more
doing among jobbers in hardware at
Chicago, although interior merchants
tributary to that market have not
begun to buy in advance of actual
needs, end on the other hand the
spread of the coal strike is checking
business. Available wheat, United
States and Canada afloat for and in
Europe decreased more than 10, 900, 600
bushels last month, against an aver
age decrease in month of May in five
preceding years OF about 5,0OO,OO0
bushels each. Five months decrease
of domestic and Canadian wheat
stocks in 1894 is high average com.
pared with like portions of five pre-
ceding years. Notwithstanding
these exhibits, Bradstreet's returns
point to an accumulation in the
United States and Canada OF S,00O,0 900
bushels of wheat June l, only $500 less
than on June year ago and twice
or three times as much as was 50 held
on Sune l in everal preceding years,
Exports of wheat, United States and
Canada both coasts for the week end
ing June I, equal to .2,742,000 bushels
against 2,400, 900 bushels in the pre-
ceding week, 100000 bushels in the
week year ago and 3,052,0 900 bushels
in the like week of 1892.
Special kilograms from leading
trade centers throughout the Cana
dian dominion have continued to
grow somewhat more unfavorable
from week to week within month or
two. The number of business failures
in the dominion this week is 81
against &C last week 1856 in the week a
year ago and "a in the week the year
before that.

Paper Tires For Bicycles,

The writer has visited the experimental
shop of the parties who are working out
the idea of making tires from paper for
bicycles. A pressure equal to 100 pounds
was brought to bear upon rubber tire
wheel in the presence of the writer, and
the tire sunk in at the bottom. Then
the same kind of a wheel was treated in
the same way as regards pressure, but
the tire was made of paper. The same
weight did not cause the tire to sink in
so much as in the case of the rubber one.
Thus the paper tire can be run over cob
blestones, sandy roads, mud, ETC., and be
less affected. The continual squeezing
together and initiating of the rubber tire
has tendency to wear the rubber and
cause fracture. The paper tire, being
less liable to fatten or sink in, is not sub
ject to this wear.-Boston Commercial
Bulletin.

why Cinnamon Change Signs.

A Washington street Chinaman
changed his sign the other day, name
and all. One of his customers, after the
sign had been changed, stopped in tc
see if a new Chinaman had taken pos
session of the place. He found the same
laundryman as had been there for a
good many months.
"What did you change the name on
your sign for?" was asked of him.
ooh, that nothin. Only sign name.
That's all. "
"Why don't you put your own name
on the sign?"
ooh, see if I sellee place, can't sellee
sign. See? Any name good sign. That's
all. "
He then explained that it was com
mon practice among Cinnamon to change
their signs frequently, and that by sc
doing they believed that it encouraged
trade and thus reimbursed them for the
expenditure in red paint and unpro-
nounceable characters. - Buffalo Elk

Coal Cutting Machinery.

British miners are just now disturbed
by the rumored intention of the Coal
masters association to introduce coal
cutting machinery on a large scale The
men regard the scheme with great sus-
picion, fearing its effects will be to re-
duce wages and decrease the number of
men employed. They also prefer to use
their beloved pick, as their forefathers
used it, and work in the way they are
accustomed to, even though it be, as re-.
formers say, a constrained and unnatural
method. Inventors say that the British
coalmasters as well as the Golfers are
difficult to convert in this matter. Coal
cutting machines are being sent to all
parts Of the world, and the foreign de-
mand exceeds the ability to supply it,
but very few are in use in this country,
although they reduce the cost Of getting|
coal from 1 to shillings ton COM
pared with the hand pick The latest
machines combine compressed air and
electrical principles, and each cuts one
yard per minute in medium hard coal.

Biliingsgate Market.

The glory Of Billingsgate is fading
away. 1t seems that owing to the heavy
corporation tolls the trade of Billings
gate is passing to Shadwell, where the
rents are only half those charged by the
corporation and there are no tolls. The
tolls Of Billingsgate amount to about
$25, 900 per annum. The rental charged
for stalls at Billingsgate used to be about
2 cents foot; now they are 16 cents,
and the tenants complain of being crush
ed and driven out of the market 1t is
said the corporation has spent $500, 900
ON a cellar under the market, which is
nothing but white elephant. London

FINANCIAL.
Stocks and Bonds.

NEW YORK, June S.-A fairly active
market was that of today on the stock
exchange despite that the tone of the
speculation was decidedly weak at
the opening and rather easy at the
close.
Washington advices reflected feel
ing of uncertainty as to whether
whisky tax would remain at S1.l0 and
the stock was sold down from 26 IA
to 25 1.2c with a recovery to % 7.Sc.
The railway and miscellaneous bond
market was fairly steady during the
morning, but became irregular in the
afternoon and closed unsettled.

SIGNALS FROM MOVING TRAINS.
An Automatic Electric System Which Has
Been Tested In Germany.


The frequency of railway accidents
during last year would appear to have
acted as stimulus to inventors in the
field of railway signaling, for an unprec-
edented number of warning devices
have been patented within the last few
months One of these, which is regard
ed as specially worthy of attention, has
been successfully tested on some of the
military lines in Germany The system
is automatic and is actuated by electric
ity. The circuits are so contrived that
two trains travelling ON the same metals,
whether in the same or opposite direc-
ton, are warned of each others position
by the ringing of bell on each locomo-
tive, while at the same time the two
drivers (engineers) are brought into tel
ephonic communication. The same thing
occurs if one of the trains be stationary,
so that if there is any breakdown on the
line in front the driver receives notice.
The breaking away of bar or cars
from the rear of train is also notified,
both to the driver and to the station
which the train has last passed through, /
and the distances at which all these
warnings are given and received can be
varied in such manner as to provide
either long or short ''blocks, ".acoord-
ing to the requirements of the traffic.
In fact, the system seems to have pro,
vided effectively against all ordinary
contingencies, and its employment should
greatly reduce the risks of railway trav.
ell The German government experts
speak highly of the apparatus in their
official report.
Among other experiments train en-
tering station was warned of an OBJ
stacle ON the line; two locomotives APP
preaching each other on the same track
were warned; two trains proceeding III
the same direction, the second at great
er speed than the first, were enabled to
give each other automatic notice Of
their respective speed and position, and
q train which was entering station re-
ceived warning that points were in
wrong position, In every case notice
was given in ample time to prevent dan
ger and to render q collision impossible.

Herr Knopf of Berlin Ready to Meet All
Corners For 500 Cigars II Side.
A smoking match was given recently
by the Giftnudel Smoking club in it's
rooms in Manteuffel street, Berlin. The
prize was a solid silver cigar case and
200 cigars The entrance fee was 81,
and the conditions were that the con-
testants should smoke only the cigars
provided at the expense Of the club and
should remain in plain view of the ref
cree as long as they were competing for
the prize, no contestant being allowed
to take food, drink or medicine during
the match.
The prize was to be given to the con-
testant who smoked down to one inch
butts the largest number of cigars in
two hours. There We're II entries.
Herr Knopf, who smoked without
pause from start to finish, was declared
winner. He reduced 10 large cigars to
ashes in the allotted time, while his
closest competitor smoked but z -. At
the end of the first hour 10 smokers re-
tired from the match and left the room.
None of them returned. OF the seven
others three were pale and perspiring
profusely when the referee called

Bradstrset's Weekly Review of Trade.

New YORK, June S.-Bradstreets
tomorrow, June 8, will say: Nearly
all the unfavorable business condi-
tions of the past three weeks CON
tinue to exercise an influence. The
few exceptions where improvement is
noted are of practically local import"
ance. Rail trade at many centers has
been interfered with by unfavorable
weather and by further restriction OF
the purchasing power of thousands OF
wage earners by further Industrial
trouble or by shrinkage in production
Business failures do not increase
materially in number of Importance,
the total being 207, compared with 1873
last week, 293 in the same week a
year ago, when the commercial and
financial disturbance was beginning
TO make itself felt, and 1853 in the week
two years. ago. The seesaw OF prices
tips in the opposite direction and the
week closed most strikingly in cereals,
oats having advanced 1-2c, wheat
3 1.8c and corn 7.8; potatoes are 2Oc
higher a bushel at the West, bar iron
and pig iron are up sharply at ST.
Louis and live stock at Kansas City.
Lard is fractionally higher, Conspic-
uous decreases in prices of staples re-
ported are in leather and wool, due TO
heavy receipts of new crop.
Coffee is off 1.Sc. AT large EASTER
centers there is no improvement IN
oe neral business. New England cot
ton mills continue 10 produce in ez-
cess of demands.
Southern wooden mills are shutting
down for want OF fuel as well as or
ders. Philadelphia jObbers report a
better spot demand and the petrole-
UNI market is more active, but Baltl-
more iobbers in clothing as well as IN
some other lines have not sent out
drummers as formerly.
Among Southern cities covered,
Richmond, Savannah, Jacksonville
and Augusta report the more favor
able conditions at the first. There 10
a better demand for groceries and pro-
visions and for agricultural fmple'
ments and leaf tobacco, which is quite
active. Eastern Florida vegetable
regions report continuous improve
ment in crops and corresponding
Stimulation among merchants, while
at the Georgia centers the volume OF
business ia inferior in most lines, and
imnroyed one or two. Elsewhere in
