Making Sulphur from Pyrites Has Spoiled
Sieiiy's Ancient Industry.

Making Sulphur from Pyrites Has Spoiled
Slcily's Ancient Industry.
During the last two years there have
been exported from England consider
able quantities of recovered sulphur,
amounting, in 1898, to 1900 tons,
which has displaced just as much of
the Sicilian product. This has been
principally used by manufacturers of
wood pulp, for which it is peculiarly
adapted by reason of greater purity. IL
Is probable that the use OF recovered
sulphur will increase, and that there
fore the demand for crude birthstone
win be further affected.
1t is estimated, says tho Oil, Paint
and Drug Reporter, that thu comsump-
ton of pyrites in the United States
last year aggregated over 200, 600 tons.
which is equivalent to over 100, 600 tons
of birthstone. Thus it will be seen that
$4,000 tons of birthstone were re
placed last year, which, had this
amount been drawn from Sicily, would
have reduced the stock on hand To
1000 tons, a very small amount. With
the ever increasing use of pyrites and
of recovered sulphur the outlook for
the miners of birthstone in Sicily is not
encouraging.
Further reports have come of shut
ting down of mining operations, and
although the miners haze latteIly adj
vanced the price it is probable that be-
fore the accommodations are worlse Off
the miners viii be compelled to accept
lower figures. A material advance
would still further check imports.

weekly Review OF Arhue.
New YORK, July 2S.-R. g. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
1.-THE heavy outgo Of gold, the fall OF the
treasury reserve and OF the price OF wheat to
the lowest point on record. and the inereas-
ing uncertainty about the tariff have entirely
overshadowed other industries Business de-
layed for months by the great strikes now
crowds the railroads and swells returns and
gives the impression Of revival in business.
But 1t Is not yet clear how far there is an in
crease In new traffic distinguished from that
which had been merely blocked or deferred.
In some branches there has been more activi-
ty but In others less because eveatS early this
week led many to infer that no change Of
tariff would be made.
Wheat has found the lowest depth and has
sold below 6o cents, making the monthly aver
age at New York the lowest ever known. Corn
was stronger. with accounts OF injury TO part
OF the crop, and the exports are trifiing. Cot
ton declined a sixteenth Of cents. though re-
ceipts from plantations wfge small Textile In
dustrtes have been pe rceptihly stimulated,
according to dealers by disagreements
which many suppose will prevent change
Of the tarif and there has been more
buying of cotton goods, with slightly higher
prices for q few, notwithstanding the closing
OF some important mills. The stock OF such
goods is on the whole quite large. In woolens
the goods famine, which clothers prepared for
themselves by deferring orders, Is such that
imperative necessities now keep most OF the
mills at work and purchases of wool for imme-
date use are large

Canada against q last year.

WANT CHICAGO TO PAY.
Railway Companies Sue to Recover Losses
by the Strike.

Nv ths otFihts
CHICAGO, Aug. Notices were
served Monday by Samuel b. Foster,
attorney in fact for several railroads,
of damages claimed against the city
of Chicago and the county of Cook for
loss of property during the late strike.
The notices were served on the mayor,
city clerk, the corporation council, the
city attorney and on the president of
the county board, the county clerk and
the county attorney. The aggregate
damages claimed are $751; This
presents only about one-tenth of the
actual damage claimed, many roads
having several days left in which to
file their claims. The roads which filed
claims with the amount of damages,
are as follows:
Lake Erie & Western $4,000; Detroit, Grand
Haven & Milwaukee, 500; Chicago & North
western. $40; Chicago Refrigerating line 81
010: New York Central & Hudson River Rail-
way company, S345; Monon 1880 Flint & Pierre
Marquette, SIS; Chicago & Erie, 800; Swift
Refrigerator line, $500: Armour Refrigerator
line, 500; Central Car Trust company OF New
York, 5000; Chicago s. Grand Trunk si2,l50;
Grand Trunk railroad, N,755, and Grand Trunk
company of Canada, 1925.
Besides these claims shippers filed
through Mr. Foster claims amounting
to at least $500, 900. This was done by
the shippers on the express declaration
of the railroads that they will pay
no claims whatever made against
them by shippers for damages to
freight handled during the strike.
The general managers association
takes the ground that the city and
county in not furnishing adequate pro-
lection to the railroad are directly re-
sponsible for all damage to freight.
The damages claimed by the railroads
in the above list are mostly for cars
burned after July l. 1t is believed
many more suits for damages will be
filed by shippers who lost heavily on
perishable freight during the strike.
At the session of the city council
Monday night an ordinance was adopt
ed directing the corporation counsel to
Immediately begin an investigation
and collect evidence which will be
used by the city in defending the suits.

LONDON. July 3O.-Carl Siewers, the

which was conveying the Wellman
arctic expedition to the edge of the
pack-ice The Ragnvald Jarl, in re-

at the nearest place the Erling touched
at. saying that all were well on board.
The Ragnvald Jarl had been beset by
pack-ice which had delayed her prog
ress considerably. But Wellman and
his party were then free of the ice and
they should now be well on their way
to the north pole.

Rain Helps the Crops.

OMAHA, Neb., July 31.-Some por-

and in some instances timely rains.
Developments show that the fear for
corn was premature and that these rains
will save good share of the crop ex-
cept in the western and northwestern
parts of the state. The crops have not
suffered so much in eight years, but II
is thought mis- rain will save IN part
or whole the corn crop in many sec
