nearly all from the smaller interior towns,
and that the beginning of the end is now
not far off. Thus far, for December, the
amount coming into sight this year barely
equals last years, which is a great rela-
tive Falling on as compared with Novem-
Der. But the uncertainty regarding the
outstanding long interest, whether there
may not still be large quantities ready to
be unloaded any time, clouds the position.
Cotton looks cheap, but bullish confidence
is, as yet conspicuous by its absence.
Grain and Provisions-Wheat has been
erratic and variable-one day weak, next
day strong. Saturday was rather one of
the strong days. with a gain of 1Ac but
for the week the net loss is about 1s4c.
The news has been mostly of bullish tone,
but the fact that wheat has reached the
mark in some of our markets is pretty
strong hint that the cereal is no longer
what we can fairly call cheap, and induces
many to think that everything has been
already fully discounted. Let us not over
look, however, the fact that no new source
of supply has been developed recently,
that early estimates of the worlds def
cheney have not been shown to be exagger-
ated, but on the contrary, have been con-
hrmed by later information. Our visible
supply has commenced decreasing much
earlier than usual, and country reserves
are reported much smaller The situation
appears equally as strong as it did seven
or eight years ago, when wheat, starting
from a low figure. had by December ad-
vanced above S120 in Chicago. Hence. we
can hardly afford thus early to ridicule
those who expect 81 in that market this
season.
Provisions have been quiet and somewhat
weaker. Although stocks showed rather
large reduction for the season. Ribs are
especially in small supply. and it now looks
as though there will be no immense guam
tity of stuff on hand Jan. l, with which
to terrify holders of that months deliv-
cry; in fact the amount may be small
enough to be easily controlled so as to en-
tirely rout the shorts, especially if some
of the big operators turn bulls.
Lard being in more abundant supply
throughout the world has ruled decidedly
weaker. VIM T. williams

ELECTRICITY AS A FERTILIZER.
Tesln's Latest Experiments with the
Wonderful ROentgen Rays.
From the New York Sun.

FROM the New ork sun.
The Electrical Review publishes to-day
a communication from Nikola Tesla on his
latest experiments with the X-ray. Tesla
states that the sunburn effects noted by
many experimenters are not due directly
to the rays or Roentgen streams, but to
the ozone generated by the rays in con-
tact with the skin. He says:
Nitrous acid may also be responsible,
to small extent The ozone, when album
dainty produced, attacks the skin and
many organic substances most energeti-
cally, the action being no doubt highten-
ed by the heat and moisture of the skin.
Owing TO this, l have always taken the
precaution, when getting impressions with
the rays. to guard the person by a screen
made of aluminium wires which is con-
nected to the ground, preferably through
condenser. The radical means, how
ever. of preventing such actions Is to make
impossible the access of the air to the
skin while exposing, as, for instance, by
immersing in OIL"
The inventor has the following to say
in regard to recent alleged experiments
for making the blind see by means of the
Roentgen rays:
''Is 1t not cruel to raise such hopes
when there is so little ground for It?
For, first of all, the rays are not demon
strated to be transverse vibrations2 II
hhSy WCAOt VIC WOulu nave 10 UNA means
for refracting them to make possible the
projection of a sufficiently small image
upon the retina. AS it is, only a shadow
of very small object can be projected.
What possible good can result from the
application of these rays to such pur-
poses?'
Tesla points out a possible method of
manufacturing fertilizers by electricity in
the following interesting language:
with currents produced by perfected
electrical oscillators, the production of the
ozone is so abundant that 1t Is sufficient
to merely turn on the current for a few
seconds and ozonize strongly the atmos-
phere of a large hall. These currents are
also capable of bringing about chemical
combinations, of which the chief Is that of
the nitrogen with the oxygen of the at
mosphere, and an immense possibility
which have been following up for long
time, is opened up, namely, the combina-
tion of the nitrogen of the atmosphere
on an Industrial scale by practically no
other means than mechanical power IL
merely fertilizers of the soil would be
manufactured in this manner, the benefits
to humanity derived therefrom would be
incalculable'
