The quotation for Lake ingot nominally

exports OF the metal from New York and
Baltimore continue in large quantities,
although il is said the movement il on
old orders. With the coming OF spring,
il is thought that consumers will be
more active buyers and that their stocks
on hand at present are rather low. The
market il in a strong position, statistic
ally speaking, and should advance on any
increase in the demand. Dealers are conf
dent that better inquiry il about due
and express belief that the next move
ment will be in the direction OF higher
prices. The equipment of new street rail
ways with electric motive power is re-
ported from numerous sections, besides a
large number of successful experiments
have been made with electricity az mo-
tive power on steam railroads. The latter
means an increased use of the metal in di-
rections hitherto unknown. The only
drawback in the situation il the increas-
Dg production OF the metal which, ap-
parently, is outstripping the increased
demand. II the mining companies desire
to keep prices up to the present level they
should bear this in mind and regulate
their supply accordingly.
The stockholders OF the Centennial min
ing company held their annual meeting
this week Out of total Of $4,000
shares there were 51,719 shares repre-
sented in person aud by proxy. Mr. +. ID.
Phillips, OF New York representing the
Hoyt estate was present and made things
lively. He protested against the holding
the meeting in Boston because the by
laws stated that the meeting should be
held 10 New York. The constitution.
however, read differently and the Boston
party had proxies enough to carry the
votes. Consequently the bylaws were
changed 40 that they would coincide with
the constitution in relation to the place
OF holding the annual meeting. The fol-
lowing were elected directors: John G.
Watson, Thomas II. Perkins, William
Bassett and II. F. Fay. of Boston, and
James II. Dee, OF Houghton, Mich. The
ri ockholders must have been quite well
pleased with the interest which has been
taken in the property by the reorganiza-
ton committee, which has been engaged
in n legal struggle with the New York
oyer the threatened fore
closure OF the mortgage. Ii was alleged
that large amount Of the bonds now
we're invalid and serious
charges were made against the New York
parties, who have been running the Fl.
iances to suit themselves. Mr.. Phillips
vigorously denied the charges and said
hat the management had acted fairly.
The contention seems TO be far from a
ettlement and great deal OF litigation,
apparently. will result. IL was voted to
mpower the directors to sell the prop |
rty to new company, to be formed by |
he reorganization committee, when the |
fairs are Strengthened out.

Last Thursday the publisher OF

somebody wanted him at the

"Do you recognize my voice?"
"Well, hardly" was the reply,
"who is it7"
"Why, it's Mason, of Hawaii"
"You don't say so. Glad to see

company with the words: mo,

And then after little more
chat, in the course of which Mr..
Mason agreed to make Amsterdam
visit, "good. bye" was passed
back and forth.
Mr.. Mason is the man who tele-

forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts

the knowledge that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup Of Figs, prompt
lv removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the

Among the fruit and flower nov
elites which 1896 brings us, we no
tice that the enterprising and reH-
able firm of James Vick's Sons,
of Rochester, N, Y, are already
calling attention to three, which
seem to have won great favor
wherever known. They are the
Double Sweet Pea, the only one in
the world true to name, Bride Of
Niagara, " the Early Leader Toma-
to, "the earliest of all the Tomato
family and sare to become great
favorite, and the lalready famous
blackberry, the "Rathbun. y
From the praise ond compliments
given 50 abundantly to the bride
of Niagara, this Sweet Pea must
be more than charming, and from
thee ncomiums layished on the new
tomato and this new blackberry, it
is pretty certain no garden desiring
to have the first and best Of every
thing, can be without these three
new comers
BY the way, readers, are any OF
you so far behind the times as not
to know "Vick's Floral Guide?' If
any of you have never seen it, send
10 cents to this firm at Rochester,
N. Y, and get Il copy. You can
deduct this from the first order tor
seeds and the pleasure and informa
tion their Guide will give you will
certainly induce you to keep up the
acquaintance.

1t is indeed Instructive" It tells a
whole story in itself. And the mean
ing of 1T is written all over it's face in
letters so large that he who runs may
read. What is the special desire of
anybody at this time for United States
notes? Why should man who has an
account in bank, upon which he can
draw at pleaalre.sbut which the bank
may discharge in any form of legal
tender money that it pleases, sell that
account at discount for greenbacks?
There is only one reason in the world
for such proceeding. 1t is in antici-
patton of the. coming bond issue. 1t
is because grfenbacks can be used TO
pull gold ouf of sthe treasury. where
with to purchase bonds National bank
notes, silver certificates, and other
forms of money, will not do. The fin
ancial concerns of New York have
been making large preparations to alb
oOi ~ e~o il4e1Lly VI Int uSW JULIUS az pOo"
sible. To do this they must get togeth-
er gold to pay for them. That they are
not proposing to take this out of their
own Golfers is made clear by the eager
ness to get greenbacks.
The whole transaction that is con-
templated is as. clear as day, and
throws into new relief the idiOcy and
recreancy Of a congress that refuses
to give the country relief. The treas
ury wants gold. 1t intends to sell
bonds to get it. The banks want bonds.
They are gathering together all the
legal tenders within reach. even to
paying a small premium upon them;
so that, while with one hand they take
bonds from the treasury, they may
with the other shove in the legal ten
ders, and take out Of the treasury the
gold to pay for the bonds. Did any
icry of older folk, ever indulge in any
sillier performance than that to which
we are now reduced; increasing our
national debt by leaps and bounds, in
order that we may bring gold in at one
end of. the treasury, carry it through
the corridors, and hustle it out through
mystery about the premium on legal
tenders, which is really a premium on
gold.
