NEW YORK. Sept 20-After a weak
opening the stock market steadied itself
quickly and regained strength rapidly,
which was the prevailing characteristic of
the dealings through the rest of the day.
The buying WAS steady, though not IN
large volume, except IN Sugar and Chicago
Gas, which were again the leaders in the
trading. London was a small seller of the
arbirrage specia.ties, chiefly ST. Paul, but
not 20 an extent sufficient to affect the
market unfavorably. While there was
not little buying for the long account.
the bulk of the purchasing was by the
shorts, who were DESTROYS of coveriGg
their outstanding contracts in view of the
upward tendency.
Sugar opened unchanged and then on
bear drive receded per cent. but the
ready absorption of stock offering, indicat
ing inside support, forced the shorts to
cover. Still, the advance resulting was
fought for time aud It was not until late
in the afternoon that the upward move
ment gained force. Large blocks of the
stock were bought during the last hour
and the price went up to s711l gain of
per cent from the bottom ngures OF the
day with final reaction of Is per
cent, leaving net advance Of rs
per cent. The preferred shares rose - per
cent. The granger group movei irregu-
larry, St. Paul under the covering of
shorts advanced y per cent, but lost the
improvement on sales by London houses
before noon. During the afternoon, on
moderate buying a rally of 4 per cent took
place. On Chicago selling orders, Bur-
lington and Quincy gave way p per cent,
quickly rallying Is per cent and again
losing the entire improvement, and clos
ing fraction under yesterdays closing.
Rock Island moved within Is per cent
range and closed unchanged Gu the day.
Some little question was raised as TO the
rate of the dividend TO be declared tomor-
row, but the general DRIFT OF street opinion
Is that the usual per cent will be declared.
Northwestern gained u per cent on pur-
chaseS OF 200 shares. Speculation in Dis
tiliing opened in II downward course. The
opening was weak followed by aD advance
of % per cent, the last sale being only IS
per cent below the best price OF the dag.
The general list closed up 15@@5 per cent
higher, with some few exceptions.
The bond list was firm in tone with
moderate volume OF business, tie sales ag-
SS2t, 600.

AN ETRAoROINARY EXPLOSIVE.
The Extreme disability of Iodide OF Nitro
gen TO Explode.

Among the most wonderful and dan
gerous of all explosives is iodido OF
nitrogen. For many years chemists
have been trying to determine its pre-
else composition, and In doing so have
sometimes fairly taken their lives in
their hands, for the substance eXplodes
on the slightest provocation. A mere
draught of air passing over it will
cause an explosion. The least shock
or friction Is equally disastrous
But DIR. Szuhay, of Buda Pesth, says
Youths Companion, has not been de-
TERED by any danger from trying
once more to ascertain what the iodide
of nitrogen contains, although he has
had some of his apparatus pulverized
in the winking of an eye And he has
succeeded, too, in his attempt having
recently established the fact that the
extraordinary explosive, which he pro-
duced in the form of a fine powder,
contains hydrogen as well as iohde
and nitrogen. This fact had been sus-
pected, but never proved
To the general reader it might seem
hardly worth while to risk ones life IN
order to find out thing like that, but
TO the man of science. devoting all his
energies TO Investigations that the
busy world never dreams of noticing,
the discovery Of such a fact is as
thrilling as the finding of a gold mug
get would be to half-starvSd miner.
And his reward is greater than that
of the fortunate gold seeker, for his
name goes upon the honor roll Of
science, to be read, perhaps, hundreds
of years in the future.
