: For Investors and Promoters.


In this age of invention and rapid prog
ress there is no basis for popular and
profitable enterprise in all parts of the
world so important as cheap light, fuel,
and power. The wonderful strides in de-
veloping electricity have filled the public
eye in recent years. and until lately there
has been but little exploitation of the fact
that developments in gas making and
utilization have also been on a most i'm
portant scale that auSurs immense pos
siblities for the future. The introduction
of electricity has had stimulating effect
by causing the invention and perfection
OF superior methods of gas manufacture
ana numerous new appliances for its use.

VARIOUS BREEDS OF COATS.e
Those OF Syria Are the Best of ALI
Dairy mems Customs.


But far the best breeds belong to the
east, and it is strange that the crusad-
ers never brought back some of the
really first-class goats Of Palestine and
Syria, 10 this country, says the Spec
tator. The difference between the
best breeds of sheep and goats of Pal
estine is far less than might be sup
posed from the wording of the New
Testament. Both have pendulous ears,
both are often black in color, and both
follow the shepherd in place of being
driven. The goats of Syria are the
best CT all. The hair is long, with
good, close underwood; they are per-
fectly domesticated and are excellent
mixers. Instead of sending his milk
around TO customers in can or cart.
the Syrian dairyman leads his obedi
ent flock of goats down the street, and
after receiving an affirmative answer
to the Syriac equivalent to the call of
Milk. hO?" selects his goat and milKS
it in the street before customers door.
If the purchaser fancies milk from ore
animal more than another he has only
to mention his preference The Cash
mere shawls, made of the finest goats
nair, are not manufactured from that
OF Cashmere goats pastured, as is often
believed, near the rose gardens where
the nightingales sing by the calm
Bendemecr-" The precious wool is the
underfur of breed kept in Thibet,
and by the Khirgiz in Central Asia,
from the slopes of the Alatau mauI-
tains to the bend CT the Ural north Of
the Caspian. Only a small quantity,
averaging three ounces, of the precious
wool is produced yearly by each goat,
and the material is collected by mid
dlemen, taken to Cashmere and sold in
the baZars, where it is purchased by
the makers of the shawls. NJ. Jau-
bert, in 1919, imported some of these
animals into France, and after cross
ing them with the AnGOra breed, OBJ
tanned an average of thirty ounces in
stead of three ounces of equally fine
wool. There is no doubt that the
valuable ''lOng-wool' goats could ne
bred in England as successfully as they
are in the United States, Cape Colony,
and Australia were the commercial
value of such an experiment assured.
Recent experiments in acclimatizing
the vicuna. small alpaca, in France,
have met with considerable success,
and both the Cashmere and Angora
goats were found to do we'll on the
Swiss Alps, though as they gave 10
milk, they were not popular with tha

THE TRADE REVIEW.
Failures for the Year the Lowest
Definitely Known.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade says:
"In failures 1897 was not only the
best year since 1892, but on the whole
the best ever definitely known. The
returns by branches of business show
that in fifteen out of twenty-eight
classes the failures were lower than in
any previous year of which there is
record.
1.-The new year began with disap-
pointment for spectators in stocks
and grain, which is not bad sign.
Prices of stocks have gained little,
after yielding at first, and close Is
cents a share higher for railroads and
S105 a share higher for trusts. Wheat
declined ia cents, owing to the ter
minatiOn of the corner at Chicago.
Cotton was disappointment to many
because it did not change at all in
spot price, although the accounts OF
reductions in wages by New England
works warrant hope of larger con-
sumption. The wooden and worsted
