Making Cofius of Glass.

The revival of the idea of making coffins
from plate glass is attracting good deal
OF attention from local dealers in the two
articles which it is intended to bring to-
gether, namely, glass and coffins. Coffin
dealers while they take the matter seriously
enough to refrain from ridiculing it, un-
dertake to point out its mpracticability.
The chief objection urged against coffins
made of glass is that they would retain for
an indefinite period the decomposed ele-
ments of the body. This is an objection
which applies as well to metallic coffins,
the use of which is required by law in
many cases of contagious diseases.
The chief advantages OF cofins made of
glass. according to a prominent glass job.
Der on Wabash avenue, is their cheapness.
A good coffin could be made of glass, he
said, az one-fourth the cost of the low
grade wood coffins. The attempt madeby
the Ohio concern about fifteen wears ago
to manufacture glass coffins failed mainly
because of the relatively higher cost of
glassmaking as compared with the cost
to-day. Glass is now put to large variety
of uses. Among other things, it is made
so as to initiate wood very closely, so that
burial caskets constructed in this way
could be made to have the general appear
ance of caskets made of very costly woods.

In reference to Burk's Falls l might
say we have had agrcat season for deer

each man to shoot two deer and no
more. l feel sure every man went
away with all the law permitted.
LAUNDERING has been pretty quiet but

spits Of thess deterrent influences and the sus-
pension OF business on the Stock Exchange yes-
tsrday. the great majority Of stocks closed
higher than they did last Saturday. In a num-
Der OF stocks. notably the shares Of the Granger
trunk lines, Sugar Refining, Manhattan Rail-
way, Reading, Tennessee Coal and Iron. Union
Pacific. Wabash preferred. and Louisville and
Nashville. noteworthy net advances have taken
place. II Is interesting to note that in spite
OF bold and interruptions efforts TO advance the
price of American Tobacco, that stock closed
only fractionally higher than It did a week ago.
Tho trading in II to-day was not upon an extern
sive scale. aud although the market showed a
good deal OF strength, particularly In the last
hour, II closed fractionallyl lower than on Thurs
day.
The almost general improvement in prices
this week reflects q distinct change in senti-
ment, based largely upon Developments In the
iron and steel industry. II IL possible that
those interested in that industry may find that
they have marked prices up more rapidly than
the demand will warrant; still, encouragement
IL to be from the fact that measures have
been adopted. as in the anthracite and bitumi-
nous coal industries. TO prevent the business
from being conducted upon an Improbable basis.
Progress In the reorganization OF bankrupt rail-
roads has been pronounced this week In the
cases of Northern Pacific, the Union Pacific,
and the Norfolk and Western companies. Re-
garding general business, the belief is begin
ming TO gain ground among bankers that the
wedding out of weak and lily managed con-
Germs, resulting from the untowerd influences
that prevailed during the first two or three
months Of the year, has about been completed.
The next development to which Wall Street
looks forward with interest 10 the outward
movement Of specie. 1t was announced to-day
that one banking house will ship at least $780,
900 on Tuesday. and possibly Sl.oo 600. AL
though tho rates for foreign exchange rule
close TO the gold exporting point, the
majority of foreign bankers do not
look for heavy or continuous exports OF
specie. To-dey's statement OF averages of the
Associated Banks' shows only one noteworthy
change. namely. o decrease in lawful money of
nearly 81, 1875. 900. 1t is significant simply as In
dicatinR that the tendency which has prevailed
for some time past still continues though upon
o decreasing scale.
