The grangers were fairly strong during
the early part OF the day, but in the after
noon break went of half a point or SO
each, sharper decline than they have
seen for some days. This lsagging of the
grangers does not signify. however. that
they are being sold by the large holders,
or that there is any likelihood Of their
going off badly. 1t is a simple matter of
fact that these securities are more closely
held than any others on the list and that
there is not enough floating stock for the
bears TO manipulate with, and will not
be until such time in the future as the
market leaders begin TO sell their holdings.
The crop report of Tuesday and the tele-
graphic news of yesterday indicate that the
corn and wheat crops will both be large,
although the wheat yield will not be as
large as that of last year.

The afternoon decline in the market was
not serious in any other stock than Brook
llyn Rapid Transit. The selling of Brook
lyn, however, was heavy and apparently
for inside interest which is not a reas-
suring development for that security. Peo-
pie supposed TO represent the Flower party
sold it by thousand share lots, and the
price went of rapidly, especially during
the last hour of the day, the lowest and
closing price being 1l5 Ia, which was
nearly two points and half from the high.
No explanation is given OF the selling.
Manhattan, which was strong in the morn
ing hours and went as high as 120 IA, de-
clined in sympathy with Brooklyn during
the last hour and closed at 119, a net loss
for the day.

EXPANSION OF THE TRUSTS
CAST IRON PIPE INDUSTRY Is
TAKEN IN.
Monopoly Capitalized at Twenty-four
Millions-Two Soap Trusts-Com-
bine of Salmon Packers.

Chicago, Feb. 4.-The Post today
says: One of the latest movements to
combine industrial corporations is that
which has for its object the consolida-
ton of a number of the most import
ant castiron plants of the country.
The company is TO be the United States
Castiron & Foundry company, and viii
have a capitalization of S24, 100000. di-
vided into 1900, 600 of per cent nom
cumulative preferred and S12,OOO,OO0 Of
common stock. The combination will
be made up of the American Pipe &
Foundry company, Dennis, Lord q Co,
Adhesion Pipe & Steel company, Lake
Shore Foundry company, Ohio Pipe
company, Buffalo Pipe company, Nc
Neal Pipe & Foundry company and
National Pipe & Foundry company.
These eight concerns are said TO con-
troll more than 50 per cent of the total
output of castiron pipe in the coun-
try. More than one-half of the capital
stock of the new corporation has been
taken by the owners of the plants
which it is proposed to consolidate, and
81, 900, 900 of the remainder has been
subscribed for in New York. Subscrib-
ers will receive one share of the COM

UNION OF NORTH AND SOUTH
4 CONGRESSMAN TIRED OF
RECONCILIATION TALK.
Two Sections Were Reconciled Long
Ago and Constant Federation
Makes III. Griggs Weary.

Washington. Feb. 4-The house to-
day passed the military academy ap-
preparation bill, carrying about $780,
600. The discussion diverged from the
military academy when Mr.. Griggs Of
Georgia took up the presidents recent
utterances as to government care for
confederate graves. he referred to the
devotion OF southern men 10 the cOun-
try from the days OF ADpomatoX 10
those OF Santiago. Let there be an end,
therefore, he urged, to the constant re-
Iteration of reconciliation between the
sections. That reconciliation mas long
aE6 been accomplished, and with the
new generation of the south, the
younger men, there was no need OF re-
conclnation, as there had been no sep
aration.
I'VE accept the words of the Dresi-
dent i'll good faith" said Mr. GriSGs,
but We insist that this shall be the
last reconciliation C. the sections Let
this be the last ratification OF the
treaty of peace between the north and
south
Mir. Griggs speech was warmly ap-
pIauded, and ne received many consrat-
uiations. The mintary academy Dill
was then passed, substantially as re-
-orted.
The exercises in connection with the
acceptance from the state of Missouri
of tile statues Of Thomas II. Benton
and Francis 2. Blair then began. Mr..
Band os Missouri offered resolutions
accepting the statues mad referring TO
the nlustriOus public services Of Blair
and Aenton.
Mr. Dockery of Missouri paid a glow
ing tribute TO the two DISTINGUISHED
Missourians.
Mir. CarmGck of Tennessee paid the
tribute Of mis- state to these notable
pubic figures.
Mr. Champ Clark of Missouri said:
The dominant passion OF these two
Missouri 1ltans was an absorbing love
OF The Union. To its preservation they
devoted their energies OF mind and
heart and body. In that warfare they
sacrificed all those things which most
men hold dear. In that cause 8enton
went to his political death, and Frank
Blair rendered himself a physical
wreck. In their vocabulary there was
no such word as concession or as
Compromise" In very truth they took
their lives in their hands ana fought
the battle to the bitter end"
Mr.. Lloyd of Missouri sketched the
careers of Benton and Blair and gave
many interesting phases of their pub
lie life.
The resolution accepting the statues
was then agreed to, and at 4:45 D. m.
the house adjourned.

Machine Work and Hand Work.

There are many people now living
who can remember when Joiner work,
including even flooring and ceiling,
was nearly all pIaned by hand-a la
bOrious process that did not in most
casts include thicknessing, and was
consequently an inferior method. ex-
cept perhaps as to finished surfaces;
and even this exception is not to be
made in comparison with the fixed
knife planning machine employed in Eu-
rope and, more notably, with smooth
ing machines invented in the United
States.
Measured by manual emerge. which
may be taken as 2,5CO fOOt-pounds. or
one-thirteenth Of a horse power. for q
strong man, it would take $50 men to
equal the planning machine before
named; but there is a difference in
favor of the machine in the guidance
and application of the cutting edges
that justifies the ratios before named.
These comparisons convey an idea of
the extraordinary economic results of
machinery attained in the principal
processes of wood conversiOn. They
seem incredible, but there are no long
er means of comparing, because values
are now adjusted to the machine prod
uct alone, and hand work no longer
exists.

rENNYSoN'S LOVE FOR CHILDREN

When Tennyson was a young man
living at home. he so attracted the
children of his family that they would
sit on his knee or cline about his feet
while he told them stories of his own
invention. He would make himself g

that the park and gardens surround

is due to a startling incident which has

toward the carriage, which was waiting
for them just ms de Mon Bijou park.
An immense crowd had assembled and
was so dense that their majesties had
great difficulty in reaching the vehicle.
When they succeeded in doing so the
cOachman was unable to drive off, be-
ing hemmed in on all sides. Thus the
emperor and empress were obliged TO
listen to the personal comments of the
populace and it is claimed that insult
ing epithets were flung at the imperial
couple. Finally reinforcements Of po-
