right system of circular steel bins, is
filled with garnerS, scale bins and ma
chinery for handling the grain, promi-
nent among the many others being the
motors for transforming the electric
current into power. There are in all
four 100-horse- power motors, eleven So
horse power, and two 20-horse- power,
making a total of seventeen motors,
exerting $40 horsepower. These are
placed where their Wsrk can be best
utilized. =. g
One of the mosthovel features of the
elevator is the .syiAtern of three marine
legs, each capable of moving across the
front of the building to accommodate
the vessel to be lnloadfd. Each leg is
provided with it's oNErf motor Those
towers and are connected with the
marine legs by rope drive wheels, the
electric current reaching the motor by a
system of trolley. wheels that take up
the current after the fashion of electric
cars These legs are each capable Of
elevating 10000 bushels of grain an
hour from vessel or 100000 bushels in
ten hours, altogether.
Someone has asked 1Hf it will be
necessary to confine each of the steel
bins to a cargo, to avoid mixing the
cargoes. This has been avoided by the
building of steel bulkheads that cut
each bin into three compartments,
making it possible to store three sorts
of grain in each bin at a time. The
grain, is drawn out of the bottom of
each compartment, and elevated to the
weighing bin at the top of the elevator
before the delivery to car or boat The
bin-compartment device is an invention
of President HILL and has been pat
ented.

Wall Street Yesterday.

New York. May 20.-Such declines as
have taken place in the anthracite shares
since the first of the year must be taken
to indicate no little perturbation on the
part OF stockholders familiar with. the
affairs of the companies. While these
stocks have been under constant bear
pressure during that time, selling Of this
character alone would not adequately
explain the severe shrinkage that has taken
place in their prices, and indeed, had
not the selling for short account been
attended with genuine liquidation, the
short interest would long ago have over
shot the mark, and would have been
placed III an untenable market position.
The attack on these stocks began with
and may be directly referred to the ex
posure OF the bookk eeping methods of the
Delaware and Hudson and Jersey Central
coInpanies II had been known that the
anthracite industry was suffering along
with the old important divisions of the
country's trade, but it was not until it
was seen that the nanagements Of these
companies were endeayoring to conceal the
results Of the depression that the credit Of
the companies began 70 suffer. These
stocks suffered severely in the DAYS stock
market aud Jersey Central and Delaware
and Hudson were practically denoralized.
Lackawana, on small trades, was less af
fected The Immediate cause OF the days
decline is not apparent, unless it could be
explained by the forthcoming quarterly
statements Of earnings, which, in view Of
the admitted trade conditions, are ex-
pected to be poor showings.
Tie general market was naturally af-
fected by the declines in anthracite stocks,
and it was also depressed by moderate sell
ing for foreign account while the declines
in the London market were as usual influ-
entail in shaping early sentiment The
Cuban question was also a factor in the
market OF the same bearing. According TO
the indications of the foreign exchange
market. the gold shipments on Saturday
are not likely to exceed 81. 100000, and
smaller amount viii probably be shipped
on Tuesday. No heavy shipments are eX-
pected tefore June Speculative interest
In Chicago Gas was again on, a large scale,
and the strength in the stock had for eX-
planation the fixing OF day for the re-
consideration OF the consolidation bill in
the Illinois senate.
The stock market opportunities In the
meantime are magnificent.
The grangers showed a comparative de
gree of firmness throughout the day.

Mr Carley has this to say with regard
TO The general market situation. he
continues bullish:
The furious onslaught on Jersey Central
has not been sufficient TO keep the other
market down. In face of the probable
action OF the United States Senate within
a few days, the market shows an upward
tendency. which is surprising to every
one who has not studied its remarkable
undersuructure.
IN every country and in every security,
the period of liquidation is past and
unless some special bear pressureis is brought
upon it, there is no yielding of quotations
anywhere or in anything. The claim
long stock is being sold in Jersey Cen
tral is preposterous. Serious holders
OF stock dn lot carry it through all recent
changes and force sale in the manner
the stock has been sold yesterday or
today.
We believe Jersey Central is ii grand
scoop and will be one OF the buoyant
leaders Of the market when the upward
tendency gets fairly under way.

4 curious discrepancy between the crop

market sharps 10 bull the Grangers, is
most noticeable at this time. You will see
every day FROM financial papers and people
who give out information about the market
that the chief reason why the Changers
should be a purchase at this time is the
promise OF beautifully large crops OF grain
in the West, making certainty OF immense
business for the Grangers during the COM
ing months. There is not a paper devoted
to financial Inattersin the East, or column
in one OF the dailies even, and there is not
one information bureau that has not been
telling this story quite persistently. In
the face of this you will find any number

that the crop outlook is not by any means of
