SATURDAY, sept Eo.
The decline in stocks this week, which has
been general and in many cases important does
not reflect liquidation as much as II does an alb
sence OF demand. Actual holders OF securities
seem 20 agree that prices are too low TO Justify
them ia parting with their stocks. particularly as
the depression in business appears 20 have cul-
minated; and though the tendency at present
Is not distinctly toward Improvement, Ihe sta
tistics OF general business strengthen the
conviction that In matters commercial the
corner has been turned. Still some time
may elapas before q return OF confidence
aud 10 permanent activity in business is plainly
disceraib!c. The approaching elections and the
performances OF Congress this winter will I'M
Q~uestiouatly have an important bearing upon
the progress OF business toward normal condI-
uo.s, anG consequently upon 4 revival Of specu-
lstiDu.
The most trustworthy trade reports arc that
the volume Of transactions in both retail and
whole alu lines Is still below the average. The
demand for staple goods that was stimulated a
little by the passage Of the u5S TsE,H
law las died out Stocks have brea
rep!enisAed where they were eTtraOri.ua-
My low; but that appears 20 be tbs
limit OF thc dcSand for many important stRplcs.

Corot's Odd price for a Picture.

A very amusing anecdote concerning the
brother of the new president of the French
republic is related by NJ. Ziem, the Venice
artist. The brother of N. Casimir-Perier was
on intimate relations with Corot. He came,
one day in 1875, to see the painter at Barbizon,
Just at the moment when Corot was putting
the finishing touches to his "Biblis," picture
which represents nymphs sleeping in a wood.
His enthusiasm for this work OF art, where
the poetry of the subject was contending with
the science OF the painter for superiority,
made him wish to possess the canvas. "You
shall have my picture" said the
artist '"on one condition, and it is that you
will pay the butchers and bakers
bill of my friend Millet." agreed" replied
NJ Perier, little astonished at this curious
condition. The bills were sent for to Chailly,
when it was found that the accounts had been
running with the two tradesmen for fully
twelve years. The one amounted to $4,000
francs and the other to "a. 600 francs. NJ.
Perief paid the bills without moving muscle.
His Corot cost him 46, 900 francs. To-day he
would not take three times that amount for
it, but, nevertheless, during the ifeelfoh
painter 1t was only worth some 800 francs
The Washington times., 1894-08-20

30 long as the rest of the world maintains
ITSELF on a war footing and constantly adds to
its fighting force on the sea it is necessary for
the United States to have an efficient and
moderately powerful navy, but it is gradu-
ally beginning to dawn upon the minds of
naval men that the modern warship Is a
pretty expensive luxury.
The steel-plated cruisers and battle-ships
which have displaced the wooden walls. the
glory of the republic in her younger days,
need almost as much attention and care as a
racing yacht. II they remain at anchor too
long their hulls become injured by corrosion,
barnacles grow upon them as rapidly as the
land variety OF the same species fasten them
selves in public office, and ii is about as ex-
pensive to remove one as it is the other.
To escape this evil the vessels must be kept
on the move, but it 10 a costly business. Take
our Damesake. for instance, the crack Colum-
bis. On her voyage to Bluehelds, which
lasted eight days, she burned up 700 tons OF
coal at a cost Of nearly $1,000. At this rate,
IL the cruiser were kept under steam every
day In the year her fuel bill alone would
amount to $3.50, 900, in round numbers.
Coal is not the only item of expense. The
modern warship is full OF delicate and intri-
cate machinery, which, somehow or other.
has q remarkable faculty for breaking down
1t the most inopportune times. Whenever
the English or French navies engage in
ssries of extensive maneuvers and mobilize
fifteen or twenty vessels, three or four OF
them are sure to become disabled the first
day, and on this side of the Atlantic the navy
yards are constantly busy making repairs.
Some Of these days Yankee inventor will
build enon-corrosive, unbreakable, warranted
not-to-get-out-of-order cruiser, but until that
time comes we shall have to put our money
in ships and pay for the luxury Of possessing
them

DEARTH OF POPULAR SONGS
No New Air Seems TO Have Caught the
puhIic's Fancy This Summer

No New Air Seems TO Have Caught the
Public's Fancy This Summer
The season is well nigh over, and there Is
no song this summer which can be said to
have been the rage in the fashion OF after
the Ball." for instance, says the New York
Sun. That popular melody went the pace
that kills, and is as dead now as the Delphic
hymn that was lately resurrected in Greece.
1t has had no successor this year, and there
has been nothing to equal it in popularity.
Probably Somebody Loves Me- is the song
most frequently heard in the ways which
prove the popularity OF such music The
Hungarians on the roof garden have seized
on it with an alacrity which proves the pau
city of anything new in this line. 1t is ordi-
nary, and supplied with an Introduction
which is shameessly taken from Faure's
LES Rameaux." Its vogue is indicative of
the situation.
.'Sweet Marie" would never have been
heard so much If there were anything else for
barrel organs to play or small boys to whistle.
The best of it came out in that favorite of a
decade ago. 'Baby Mine On one of the
roof gardens last week a song known five
years ago 1.-The Whistling Coon" was doing
service under two different names. One man
was singing 1t in negro words. and later in
the evening it was done as an Irish song.
The soubrettes are still telling about 1.-The
Lady with the Spotless Reputation, and Va
roni's old song, LES Gardes Municipaux,' is
still vigorous. Probably the fact that there
have been no new Harrigan plays OF late is in
a measure responsible for the dearth of popu-
lar songs, which last summer and the year
before were unusually abundant.
