Western Union Stock

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-Heaviness and
dullness characterised the dealings on the
stock exchange throughout today and
prices sagged In detected manner, ap-
parently from total lack of interest in the
market. The day was without special fea-
ture except as 1t was in contrast with the
activity and buoyancy of the latter part
of last week and the comparatively larger
dealings yesterday. The principal deal
ings Of the day were in Northern Pacific
shares as has been the case for some time
past. The report that the underwriting
syndicate had disposed Of q large block
o5 stock and other securities Of this COM
pany to German capitalists and that an
option for a further amount was held by
the same purchasers induced the selling of
the preferred stock down ~ per cent to
S7x. There was some support developed
at the lower figure and the decline was
checked, followed by rally Of fraction
al amount. But in the final half hour the
preferred stock declined again and closed
at S7M, at the lowest figure OF the day.
In addition to the weakness In Northern
Pacific there were some special causes

ample OF this factor In the days situation
was Western Union, which sold of point
and half on fears as to the effect of the
companies, whose constitutionality was az
ilrmed by the supreme court yesterday.
Sugar was sold on Washington rumors Of
impending tariff legislation which would
anect the differential In the tariff on raw
and refined sugars. Prices all along the
line showed a tendency to decline ard the
professional traders In Northern Pacific
and the other stocks affected, hastened
to take profits on their holding. The bond
market displayed reactionary tendency

orally were restricted to fractions although
0ecided gains were made in some Instances

bleached is treated in a starching ma
chine with I've to which bisulphite of
soda and an alkaline chloride have
been added, and the goods are then
subjected to very heavy pressure;
from this stiffening machine they are
transferred to a steaming apparatus, in
which they remain some thirty to sixty
minutes, according to the nature of the
goods, and this treatment in the steam
ing apparatus may be continuous, in

lions of the bleaching process are OF

They at least have read the signs Of
the times and have seen that free trade
is a dead dog" in the future politics

that economic fallacy by whatever
means they can. In any case, however

Making COmbustibles.

A writer in LIndustrie describes a
simple process devised by the chemist
Yelna. namely, that of using petroleum
or mineral tar only for enriching culm
and other inferior and formerly worth
less combustibles, and from this ma
terial producing briQuettes, the heat
ing power of which is represented to be
80 per cent higher than that of good
coal. In this process mixture is first
prepared consisting of petroleum or BIZ
luminous shale tar, oleine and soda, in
suitable proportions. by this means the
culm, slack, or coal dust being cement
ed together. Three kinds of briquettes
are produced in this way, those known
as industrial briQuettes for the manu-
facture of Illuminating gas. and metal
lurgical coke. 1t is well known that
brown coal has heretofore been the
principal resort for the making of bril-
Quettes; later, however, experiments
with briquettes of solidified petroleum
or residuum have been made, as a pre-
sumable improvement these failing to
result satisfactorily, at least in the case
of boilers. which were unable to with
stand the intense heat developed by
such fuel.

New system Of Oil Lighting.

Experiments are being tried with a
system of oil lighting that suggests
the use of the student lamp on a large
scale. There is central reservoir and
small pipes through which the oil is
fed to the burners, drop by drop. There
is an automatic system of cut-offs that
prevent any waste or leakage and in
sure steady and continuous supply,
whether there are many burners or
few. 1t seems that the only inconveni-
ence to this system is that all of the
pipes must be Of the same level in
order to avoid the leak that would be
inevitable were the oil to accumulate
in perpendicular tubes.
