WOODEN HANDLE-BARs GO.

One cannot but notice the small number
Of wheelmen who are using wooden han
dle-bars this year. Last year they were
so popular that they threatened to super
sede almost entirely the metal bars. But
the fad was short lived and riders seem
to have gone back to the steel bars with
one occord. The bicycle manufacturers
say there is practically no demand for
the wooden bars, and they are not fitting
their '9S wheels with them. In fact, only
a few of the companies are carrying them
in stock.

TOO EARLY FOR THE CHANGES.

TOO EARLY FOR THE CHANCES.
An agent for one of the manufacturers
of chainless wheels says that the reason
why 50 few chainless wheels were be
seen upon the roadways was that few had
been sold by agents; it being too early
as yet for cyclists TO make any change
in their mounts. The price for the chain
less wheel was beyond the reach Of the
masses, who were now able to buy the best
makes of chain wheels at reasonable fig
ures, and they evidently preferred TO save

GAS FROM WOOD.

Frenchman has succeeded in generat-
ing gas from wood. The method is SINH
lar to that Of generating coal gas, but is
simpler, inasmuch as less detrimental by
products are created. The wood need be
only of low quality and any kind of chips
originating from the work of, chisels
planers, etc, and even from sawdust, may
be used to advantage. The most remark
able feature about the process is the
quantity of gas produced. The inventor
claims that one cubic metre Of gas is pro-
duced from one kilogram of wood, or is
cubic feet Of gas from one poaund OF wood
In order to produce the same amount of
gas from coal three pounds Of the latter
substance would be required. and as one
pound Of caol is considerably higher in
price than one pound of wood, it IS evi-
dent that wood gas is very cheap. An
mother fact is that the figures given are
from the French point OF view, and in
America where wood refuse can be gotten
for almost a song, the gas would be still
cheaper. But this gas is not a good iilu-
minant, except when burned in a Wells
bach mantle, il being used mainly in the
industries.

LITTLE CYCLING NOTES.

What has become of all the hurrah
about chainless wheels? A few weeks ago
II looked as If they would rule the roost
but there are still a few chain wheels to
be seen about town.
When a new bicycle can be bought COM
plete for 800 the man who has been kicking
against high-priced wheels has little to
complain of. and one cause for grumbling
has been done away with.
Before taking TO bicycling riding Cor
dang. the Dutchman. worlds 24-hour
champion. was head cook on board a
steamer Funring along the Holland coast.
No wonder his rivals are cooked by his
fierce spurts. He is now ''reposing' at
his home. If making from 50 10 100 miles
a day on the road can be called reposing.-

WATCHING SPANISH FLEETS.
Cuban blockade May BE Raised {
Avert Danger to Our Ports.

Naval officials are mainly concerned at
rreSent about the movement of the Spanish
war fleets at Cadiz and Cape Verde Islands,
and 1t is likely that change may be made
in the present program for the blockade OF
Crkan ports in consequence of the necessity
of having the feet engaged in that impor-
tant duty called away for the purpose of
engaging the combined naval forces of
Spain.
It is understood here that the policy of
Spain involves an attack by its entire naval
forces on the American fleet engaged in
the blockade OF Cuba. with view to rails
ing the blockade and forming a junction
with the Spanish troops under Consul Gen.
eral Blanco.
AT any rate the Navy Department will
view with suspicion any movement on the
part of the Spanish feet, and 1t is said that
when word has been received of the de-
parture of either the fleet at Cadiz or the
this direction. that Admiral Sampson's
biockading fleet will be ordered to concen-
trate at some central point on the Atlantic
coast from which they would be better en-
abled to insure the protection of the prn-
cipal sea ports In case the Spanish fleet
should make either of them an object of
attack
In the performance of this important
duty, it is said that the fleet would be
reinforced and assisted by the flying
squadron, the north Atlantic patrol fleet
the mosquito fleet and all the other vessels
recently Incorporated into the naval serv-
ice. This alleged proposed change in the
present naval program is contingent en-
tirely upon the movements of the Spanish
fleets and may not be made. The admins
tration will make no change In it's present
plans for the blockade of Cuban ports un-
less it is absolutely necessary for the pro-
lection Of United States ports.
1t Is expected that an engagement be-
tween the United States and Spanish fleets
in the vicinity of the Philippines will occur
within the next few days. and that II will
then pc determined whether the United
States can accomplish its plans for the
establishment of base of supplies on the
Philippines.

NEW YORK. April a6-The undertone Of
tcday's stock market was exceptionally
firm. although no increase in the volume OF
business was reported. Fractional ad-
v&nces in the Londcn market. due, per
haps, to a covering movement at that CEN
ter, inspired some buying for a like pur-
pose on this side. Some attempt TO mark
UP such issues as are held by speculative
cliques was moderately successful so far
as prices were concerned. hut the holdings
were not shifted TO new interests
\ demand of a character equal TO max
ing an advancing market is not in immedi-
ate prospect.
There is a growing belief in prolonged
and Irritating naval conflict. and because
of this belief an effort is being made TO
break the monopoly of war news. Ha-
vana has usurped public interest and Wall
street has waited patieatly for develop
.nents al that center which might be APP
proprated to its own use

rightly belong to the financial community.

ably encouraging, and the prospects for

in the present rate are reported from time
to time
The properties supplying the substantial
evidence of merit are selling considerably
under the prices recorded a few weeks ago.
The transportation Of troops and supplies
is added to the assurances of increased
earnings but the public is in no mood TO
accept such arguments.
The fear of revival of the silver discus
sion at Washington is no longer concealed
in conservative circles. Delay I'm passing
the emergency war measures will not he
taken favorably and a bond issue is certain
To be fought desperately by the advocates
of the white metal.
Interest rates are likely to increase and
time loans under the legal rate are rapidly
becoming only memories of an easy money
m1 m1rket- Exchange rates advanced another
talf per cent today and this tendency is not
likely to be Immediately overcome.
The bond markets showed lack of de-
mand and growing belief among invest
ors that idle funds may be applied to bet
ter advantage than that reflected in recent
bend premiums The money question OF it,
self is likely to make a stock market argu-
ment and the Spanish difficulty will be-
come only an incident of the times.
Once actual Eostilities begin the market
will respond to the reports Of successes or
defeats, but these movements are not likely
to run far Buying on declines should
prove more profitable than selling under
any circumstances. but the prospects for
radical changes in general conditions are
such as to warrant only narrow and con-
servatiye trading.
