LOTS OF WATER.
Aldermen Cook and Rowe Drive Out to
the Basin Reservoir.

Aldermen Cook and Rowe drove out
to the reservoir yesterday in company
with superintendent Carroll to investi-
gate the extent of Buttes water supply.
They found 46 feet of water in the re-
serVoir and 120 inches of water, which
is equivalent TO about 100000 gallons
daily, running through the flume at the
head of the reservoir. Mr.. Carroll told
the aldermen that a part of this supply
was coming from Fish creek. There is
no immediate cause for alarm in re-
gard to an insufficient water supply"
said Alderman Cook last evening. IF
we should find ON another visit that the
water in the reservoir was getting low
IT would be necessary to start up the
pump in the fat"

The wiser counsels that are given by

gaining ground among the members OF

morrow will say: Analysis of special
kilograms to Bradstreet's from the

able irregularity in trade, the most IA
vorable feature being the tendency of
staple prices to advance. The advance
of cents in wheat again raises the
question whether the beginning of the
end of the long period of depression of
cereal prices has come. Supplies of
wheat for leading importing markets
are now controlled by Russia and the
United States midas as we'll as Ar
gentine's ability TO ship, is much re-
Stricted. compared with previous years,
and Australia left the hist of exporters
when She began to import wheat from
San Francisco recently. Domestic
wheat stocks are larger than earlier

the export demand has increased so far
beyond what was anticipated, and gives
SO much promise of being continued,

At such centers as Chicago and St.
Louis reports are made that interior
merchants have been disappointed in

New York, Jan. 24.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade, which

expected. 1t is generally assumed that

deluge of foreign reports favorable to
wheat speculation found ready answers

larger than last year. Atlantic exports
for the week were also much larger
than last year, for the first time in sew
eral months, but for the crop year to
date, all exports have been about H.
600. 900 bushels smaller than last year.
The market has the idea that foreign
demands hereafter must be much
greater because of deficient supplies
elsewhere, but no one expects that the
increase will be at all commensurate
with the enormous increase in western
receipts.
The iron and steel business finds en-
couragement in the advance of Besse-
mer pig to s13 at Pittsburg, and gray
forge to SLIPS, but these are results of
the advance ordered by combinations
in coke and ore. Anthracite is not
dearer at the East, as southern pig is
pressed for sale. Finished products are
not stronger, while pig iron has adj
vanced 1913 per cent since Jan. 1.
Prices of finished products average IL
per cent. lower than at that time. The
demand is plainly too small for the
supply, and the works in operation are
killing profits for each other by under
biding. In such a. case lower prices for
pig iron and coke would seem inevita-
BILE, but last year the raw materials
hoisted everything else, and some ex-
pect the operation to be repeated.
While 13 furnaces in the Pittsburg re-
gion have stopped since Jan. /, the
demand for products of iron has not,
on the whole, increased. partly be-
cause the bar, nail and rail associations
have all refused to lower prices. Minor
metals are all weak, lake copper being
sold at 1915 by brokers, with an output
of Ia, 545 tons in this country in Deem
Der. and 7.149 abroad, and 81, 4S5 for the
last half of 1895 against 1884 tons
abroad. Lead and tin are practically
unchanged. Failures for the week are
1913 against 1868 last year.

It is pale dawn, and the desert air is chill, but al- ready the camp is stirring, for ''camele are to be hunted to-day.

 The sun. onee risen, quickly asserts his powers, and the veldt grows hot. Sheer desert it seems likely to remain to the end Of time. Below, only one vast wearisome, waterless fiat, masked here and there with bush and low forest; above only the hard, pitiless glare of the pale blue sky, with the sun march ing steadily across toward the north west. The desert is very hot now; the spoorers drip sweat; the hunters sit loosely in their saddles. pull forward the brims of their large felt hats. and sometimes cheat the monotony with a pipe of Transyaal tobacco. These lone rides-often ten or twelve hours under a burning sun-are nowadays the pen atty of South African hunting. The beasts of chase become ever more wary and more difficult to find. and to kill heavy game the hunter must l,e prepared for long days of toil.

 An Old Art Revived.

Daquerrcotypes are coming into yogue again. This is good news. A good daguerreotype portrait is much more than photograph, and it is a. wonder that photography ever swamped this more distinguished and exclusive art. Not long ago the Lis tener saw a wonderful collection of daguerreotypes in an old house up in the country; though they were all taken at least 40 years ago, they were as sharp and clear in their neat black cases as if they had been taken but the dav before and some of them were as beautiful as good miniatures. When we consider that all these fine old daeuerreotypes were made by profess s;onal operators with little experience and no artistic training and reflect mon the amount of skill and taste that is applied to amateur photography at this day we may realize something If what the result of the application of an equal amount of skill and taste te a revived daguerreotype art might be.-Boston Transcript.

The aspect of the ground has at length changed In place of gray sand and shriyeled mopani trees, the party are travelling over soil of reddish hue upon which grows a pleasant open forest of the spreading giraffe acacia-the Ka- mecl doorn (camel thorn) of the South African Boers.
