In Wall Street.

New York, April 22-A period or hesita- the stock exchange, the result of the rather indifferent attitude of London. The for eigners, 1t was expected, would come Tn as buyers at the opening, but the reverse was the case and early in the dealings arbitrage houses claimed that London sold fully 10,- GOO shares of various stocks. Atchison securities, however, were not under the ban. In fact small lines were taken for the long account, the reorganization plan for the moment at least being in favor there.
 There was turn for the better soon after Il o'clock the jump in the price of cereals and the reports from Fall River that the manufacturing interest in that center had agreed to restore the wages existing prior to August 20, 1891, having created the de- mand for the prominent issues.
 The anthracite coalers, however, were the special bull card, and on reports from Phila- delphia that the officials of the Jersey Cen tral Delaware and Hudson and Erie were in conference with the Reading and had resumed negotiations for an amicable ad- justment of trade troubles, the stocks scored material gains. Delaware and Hud- son moved up to 1SO Lackawanna to 1923, Jersey Central 2A to 97A, Reading 1ss to 157s and Susquehanna preferred to 371s.
 The resumption of negotiations was con- sidered especially important for the reason that large. creditors of the Reading and banking interests admittedly necessary to carry through the rehabilitation of the property were responsible for the confer ence. In the general list New England got up to i0lk the rurnors of a hitch in reor- ganization failing to disturb long stock
 Chicago Gas was the feature of the in- duStrlalS ana rose nearly points 10 fj2S. The recent rise in oil and the belief that the Standard company controls the Chicago Gas company is attracting attention to this stock.

4 Professors Idea ot PipGpg Hot Air From
 the Tropical Regions.

4 Professors Idea of Piping Hot Air From
 the Tropical Regions.
 Prof F. B. Crocker thinks the time is not far off when. by artificial means, we shall Ie able to effect considera- ble modification of the climate of our cities. It has already been suggested to utilize the heat of the tropics for tempering the harshness of colder cG- mates be transforming the suns rays into electricity. In the tropics the soior energy develops force of about one-horse power to each square yard of the surface exposed, and as there the suns action is almost continuous during the day the force would be fairly reliable But Prof Crocker's idea is much simpler than this. He pros poses to pipe the air from dis tance as we now pipe water, oil, nat ural gas, coal dust. milk and even wine. 4 thin steel tube of five feet diameter would cary an enormous quantity-mueh more than any one would realize who had not figured it out Such pipe line as this would not be very expensive, and would pre- sent much less material difficulty of equipment than any railroad. A pipe three thousand miles long would stretch from the tropical to the arctic zone. In spite of the apparent wild- ness of this suggestion, Prof Croeker regards it as not half so daring as was the idea of laying a cable under the Atlantic Prof. Crocller is inclined to the idea that this control ofclimates would have to be done by national rather than state or municipal action, and would probably require eo-opera- tion between this government and the Canadian and Mexican governs ments. Such pipe line as has been mentioned would have to extend from some of the very cold regions of the far north clear into the tropics We should thus be able to draw cold air from the north and warm air from the south. This might also give means of controlling the rainfall A cold blast could be turned on when the rain was needed and hot blast when it was desirable to keep it away. This idea may possibly be worked out even- tually, but in the meantime some eHec- tric central stations are proposing to supplement their regular business by supplying to their customers cool air in summer and warm air in winter for use in their houses and offices. an n all probability this ambitious scheme will be the first to be put into working shape Chicago News
