Business wss Active nt tho stock Exchange

Business wss Active at tho stock Exchange Yesterday .,..,,.r New York. Dec. 2o--Business was ac- tive at the stock exchange to-day. due entirely to the revival of speculation in American Sugar, the sales of this stock having amounted to s2,900 shares. At the start the stock was heavy and fell l% to SSh. The weakness was the re- suit of Washington advices that the effort making to take away the differ ential duty now enjoyed by rehnerles will Do successful. At the decline large buying orders were executed by firms with inside connections, and the stock jumped to 90B and closed at 90. In the other industrials Rubber was strong. Consolidated Gas and Chicago Gas were cratic and Cordage weak. Consolidated Gas jumped to 1854 on the reiteration Of the stories current for some days past that the company had secured control of the East River Gas concern. Insiders refuse to either con- firm or deny the story. Late in the day the stock ran off to 132N@133h on realizations. Chicago Gas moved up to 72h, and for a time displayed great Stranufh NQqr tho rlnaa tho cfoplf dropped to 71h on the revival of the re- ports about reduction In the dividend. Rubber sold up 2A to 441t on reports of good earnings and the likelihood of a dividend on the stock In the early fu- ture. Cordage dropped to 6la for the common and to 12 for the preferred. Notwithstanding the official announce ment that the interest money on the bonds due January 1 Is in the bank. The declaration of the regular divi- dends on the Vanderbilts induced cov- ering of short contracts in Lake Shore, and the stock moved up 9 to 13S on light transactions. No extra payments were ordered as in 1893 when holders of Mich- igan Central and Canada Southern re- ceived 1k and # per cent. respectively, in addition to the regular and 114 per cent.
 The railway list yielded A to x per cent, but when Lake Shore rose to 13S there was an improvement of A to 1% per cent, Reading being the most prom inent in the recovery. Speculation left off steady and firm, except for Chicago Gas, which was weak. Net changes show gains of A to 1N per cent. Chica- go Gas lost % per cent. on the day. In the inactive list Rubber gained 2A, Consolidated Gas X and Pittsburg and Western preferred 21s to 34Aa for the day.
 The bond market was irregular. Sales were $1, AZ, ,00O.

Mining, Without the Romance,
 From Harper's Weekly.1

There is such a halo of romance sur- rounding mines and miners that it is difficult to get people to look at ques- tions concerning this great industry in an unimpassioned light. Writers have told us so much about the men who have made fortunes, and 50 little about those who have lost fortunes, that the minimizing masses believe that the former are in the majority. But they are sadly mistaken. For. every dollars worth of gold produced it is estimated that s2.7P is spent in mining and pro- specting; and in silver the comparison Is even more alarming.
 When we are told that Colorado alone 'in 1893 produced gold to the value of $s,293,031, and of silver $1s,4S4, ,657 worth, we can begin to realize the vast sums of money that have been mis- spent and the energy misdirected. In- asmuch as more than sixty per cent. of the money spent In mining Is practical ly thrown away 1t follows that consid- erable more than twice the amount of the above sums was expended in these industries in Colorado during the past year. showing 3 loss of millions rather than | gain to the country.
 The question arises where does this money come from If the mines do not support the men who work them7 It e question that can best be answered by asking every man you meet in Colo
The daily morning journal and courier., 1894-12-21

rado. Are you interested in mlning?' At the Denver real-estate exchange n few weeks ago I heard the chairman ask every one present who was directly interested in mining to stand up. Only one man remained seated. and he said he had only recently disposed of his mining properties. It is the same all over the state. and probably all over the silver and gold producing states. Ninety-nine of every hundred men are. or have been. financially interested In mining. Necessarily the majority of them have lost money. and during the crisis of 1893 hundreds. yes thousands. of them suffered privations as direct result.
 The logical conclusion Is that Colora- do and the other mining states are a vast Monte Carlo. where everybody be- lieves that luck will come his way. But the odds are in favor of the house. and old Mother Earth is the house that swallows up all the profits and consid- erably more.
 Only the losses of actual capital have been mentioned; but there Is much greater loss in the vast amount of la bor that should be directed into the proper channels. After the years Of toll and hardships and privauons, the average miner dies (though romance never tells us of iD and leaves nothing to show for his llfe's work. There is not only nothing for his family. If he had one, but there is no account that he can give when summoned before the bar of heaven to show that his life was not an absolute failure.

not then interfere with its growth, When tt is planted on large scale ar arrangements are made for flooding the fields five or six Inches deep by ma chinery. and for withdrawing the wa ter when desired by like process. In middle Carolina the large ponds are drained and planted in rice. Some times the hands. men and women, work knee deep in mud and water. the wo- men hitching up their skirts in a pecu- liar fashion with string, which holds them secure. and calmly destroy the snakes, which ever and anon present themselves about their feet, without exhibiting the least fear of them. Two little "buckra boys" enthusiastic fish ermen. have Na standing agreement with Maum Winnie, one Of the ftcefield hands. the terms Of which are that she is to furnish them with bait dug out of the ricefeld, while they give her fish In return. and Maum Winnie regularly saves the fat worms which she turns up with her hoe and puts them aside in a discarded tomato can for "dem chill lun." explaining that '"dey so love to fish wid bait out O dis we're groun'."
 Maum Winnie is a character. Her description of her sensations at the time of the "earth-shake," could they be recorded in her peculiar lingo. with accompanying gestures, would be inde- scribably udicrous She had gone "een de bed." she tells. but had jumped up to "outen de ,light'ood," which was blazing too high, and again retired, leaving only little light. Her sister, who had been out visiting In the meantime came home and the two got to discussing plans for cotton-picking. Her first intimation that anything un- usual was taking place was the noise of the tin coffee-pot falling off the shelf.
