New York, July 24.-The trading In

similar period since 1898. The situation to-

taken place since that year and the result

Henry Clews & Co., the Inost systematic

send out market letters, have this to say
in their paean on the passage of tn tariff
bill
II is Hatter of congratulation that
the newly protected Industries are more
or less directly agricultural. 1t is not
small matter to those dependent on the
cultivation OF the soil that the cattle and
sheep r2isers, the fruit growers, the sugar
producers and the flax cultivatorS should
have the same kind OF encouragement as
has been given So generously TO the manu-
.actuTing and mining industries. The IL
rect tendency OF this fostering recognition
viii be To diversity agricultural production
and thereby diminish the overproduction
Of ceresits from which the farmers have
so acuteIy suffered for many years past.
1t is reasonable to expect that there VIII
be, fIom this time forward, much more
vigorous movement in our industries than
has been witnessed for the last four years:
which is the one thing up to this point
wanting TO a general recovery of con-
fidence and return to normal activity
OF business. This fact begins to have it's
effect upon both the investment and spec-
ulafive interests IN Wall street, and the
stimulus cad only be expected to become
more apparent AZ the recuperative ten
dency in manufactures steadily deyeIoDs.
concurrently with this impulse to the
manufacturing interests comes a very i'm
portant improvement in the farming pros.
poets OF the country. Winter wheat has
been gathered in excellent condition, and
everywhere its excellent quality is adj
niitted. A trust worthy Chicago authority
reports, asto spring wheat: 'sThe weather
has continued wholly favorable. Harvest
ing will soon begin in the southern part Of
the belt, with every indication pointing to
the probability of a phenomenal rate OF
yield. The little complaint of rust and
other unfavorable conditions which have
been met with recently, now seem to be
lost sight of. and there is now little prob
ability Of any condition arising after this
date that is likely to affect the promised
result" The yield Of the winter and
spring crops combined is now estimated
at about 600 900 600 bushels. In respect
TO the corn crop, one authority reports
that, during the last three weeks corn
has male wonderful growth everywhere"
This, however, is not the only good feature
in the crop outlook. There is every prob
ability OF large foreign demand for our
surplus OF cereals.
The worlds reserve stocks OF wheat
have fallen to an unprecedented relatively
low condition. Argentina, Australia and

Last November MIR. Joseph James,

consumption. Wasted to skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as

A GASOLINE HOSTING ENGINE.
IL Does the Work of the Steam En-
Eine Better and With Less Cost.

The use of gas and gasoline engines in
mines and for all power purposes is
very much on the increase. New uses
for them are being found every day.
They are being used quite extensively
for pumping, for hosting and other
work in mining. Mr.. W. +. Patrick has
an article in recent number of the New
York ENGINEERING AND MINING JOURNAL
giving experience with gasoline hoist
ing engine at the Southern Eureka
mines in Utah. Mr.. Patrick says:
eve have had the engine in use for
some time, and have found it highly
satisfactory and in the highest degree
economical. We are engaged in sinking,
and of course only hosting intermit-
tently. Our engine is rated at % horse
power and hoists load of 100 pounds
from depth of 275 feet in 40 seconds.
Our consumption of gasoline has aver
aged only OF gal. per hour. The amount
of water consumed in cooling the cylin-
ders is very small as large galvanized
iron cooling tanks are provided with the
engine, and only enough water is re-
quire to replentish what is lost by
evaporation. In many OF our western
mining districts water for a steam plant
would cost as much or more than the
fuel.
"The engine is provided with electric
and torch igniters, both of which work
very satisfactorily One man can by
means of the self-starter, easily start
the engine alone; after starting it re-
quires no attention, except to see that
the oil cups are feeding properly
"By means of the operating levers
near the shaft, one man can hoist, dump
the buckets, run out the waste, and in
such work as ours, or at small mines,
have time to do the tool sharpening and
timber framing
