Altoona, Pa, Dec. IA. = The water
famine was more keenly felt here Satur-
day than heretofore. The extensive
foundries of the Pennsylvania railroad
are shut down in consequence of the
lack of water. The Edison Electric
company was also compelled to close
and other departments of the railroad
shops may also be compelled to shut
down. The zero weather freezing up
NIL the streams is the present cause of
the scarcity of water.

HARD At WORK.
Speaker Reed Making Up Iii. House Com

Washington, Dec. 14.-spcaker Reed
worked until midnight Friday night
at his rooms at the Shoreham, arrang-
ing the house committees. He has de-
MED himself to all callers except such
of the members as he desired personally
to consult. Notwithstanding the belief
to the contrary. n number of representa-
tives have declined to embarrass the
speaker by applying for committee as
signments. MIR. Reed therefore has sent
for these gentlemen and consulted with
them as to their preferences, believing
that he can better perform his work
with this knowledge than without it.
1t is not likely that the committees
will be ready to be announced before
next Saturday, which will doubtless
delay the holiday adjournment until
that date

Speculation in Sugar.

While nearly all planters are fami-
liar with the enormous speculation in
cotton, tn. crop being sold many times
over in a speculative way, very few
are aware Of the enormous extent Of
sugar speculation, and particularly in
London, where such speculation seems
to chiefly centre. Mr.. Martin the
firm Of Handry & Martin, colonial
brokers, 9 Minc,ng lane, i'll a recent
interview stated that bona fde sales of
sugars in his estimation were about 10
to 20 per cent. of The total transac-
lions, the remaining 80 to 80 per cent.
being purely speculative.

The Total Production of Sugar.

A Recent estimate of Mr.. Linch
placed the production for the season

cane sugar 2,97o,O00 tons, total ,S46,
600 tons. Total previous year, 7.102,
1913 tons. We thus see suIplns pro-
duction last year throughout the sugar
world Of 100000 tons, with about that
much sugar in the visible supply in
excess Of the supply year ago. The
probabilities now seem that the pro
ducton for the current year, 1895 -96
will be brought back to The prodnc-
ton of the season Of lS93-94, or about
1000, 900 tons, leaving al excess III
the visible supply still nndispose of,
with results upon the future Of the
market that remain TO be seen.
