Newspaper Morality.

One of the most curious things about
the newspaper, says +. l.. Godkin in The
Atlantic, is that the public does not expect
from newspaper proprietor the same sort
of morality it expects from persons in 9th
er callings 1t would disown bookseller
and cease all intercourse with him for a
1.-THE of the falsehoods and petty frauds
which it passes unnoticed in a newspaper
proprietor. 1t may disbelieve every word
he says and yet profess to respect him and
may occasionally reward him, so that it
is quito possible to find newspaper which
nearly everybody condemns and whose
influence he would repudiate circulating
very freely among religious and moral
people and making handsome profits for
its proprietor A newspaper proprietor,
therefore, who finds that his profits re-
main high, no matter what views he pro-
mulgates and what kind of morality he
practices, can hardly, with fairness to the
community, be treated as an exponent of
its opinions. He will not consider what
it thinks when he finds he has only to
consider what it will buy and that it will
buy his paper without agreeing with it.

Aluminium and Iron.

1t is found that the addition of from two
to five pounds of aluminium to ton OF
iron renders it grayer and softer, the Stag
rising rapidly and completely to the sur
face and leaving the metal in far purer
and better condition than before. In this
case, too, the iron is more fluid in the
ladle and can be poured into small molds
without any tendency to chill, and the for
nation of "waster" castings, due to blow
holes, is entirely avoided. The aluminium
does not reduce the melting point of cast
iron or steel, but increases its fuidity by
the removal of impurities. But the effect
of a small proportion of aluminium upon
steel with medium carbon is to increase
its tenacity and impair its ductility. 1t
may also be used in the same proportio
In brass manufacturing and in larger
quantities for making aluminium brass. ="

Dry Goods.

New York, Jan. 1.-The dry goods sltua- ton showed less change than expected to- day. The market for cotton goods has been strengthened slightly by strike news. but no quotable advances were reported. The presence of a fair number of buyers at first hand induced heavier trading. but this is still so irregular that detailed gains cannot be located. There is evidently generally better tone to the market for cotton goods. Sellers feel better than heretofore, and are making no concessions whatever. In woolens there has been continuance of the very fair business of last week in all lines. A number of new lines have opened. Buyers now find plenty of goods to inspect, and are busily engaged today in looking through the field and placing orders of fair size, although there is still some conservat- ism due probably to adverse weather condi- tions. Clothiers compiain of the monoton- ous mildness. In staple cotton the demand is still quite limited Print cloths are quiet today at aFn River.

Minneapolis and Duluth report ed the receipts of 513 cars against 534 last week and 313 a year ago. Chicago arrivals were only 2S cars. The market opened strong at 9O%@9O% A few scalping opera tions caused temporary fractional reac- tion, but the market immediately became strong again and slowly advanced to 91M Trade was very inactive. which acted as a drawback. The tone of speculation was quite strong and very confident, although fluctuations were narrow. Corn and oats were dull, with only a narrow scalp trade doing. Both markets remained very steady.

The Heading railway shares, however, displayed considerable re- sistance to the movement, and finding their efforts unavailing, the bears covered all around, with a resultant substantial im- provement in prices. Local traction stocks were buoyant, Metropolitan Street Rail- way being most conspicuous. Sugar, how ever was sensitive, and traders dealt in 1t continuously. This unsettled speculation several times during the session, although the general list hardened materially under the influence of liberal purchasing of the Vanderbilt stocks and marked manipula- tion in the local transportation shares.
