Themselves - FURRY In Mohe!
FnctOr in Determining the Course
of Prices-CIews' stock Letter.
NEW YORK, Oct. S,-Henry Clews'
weekly stock letter says: The week
business on the stock exchange opened
with a disappointment Of the hopes chef-
ished at the close of the previous week
operations In anticipation of three
days suspension OF business, there was
much realizing in the two days preced-
ing the Dewey reception, and it was
reasoned that this selling and the fall in
followed by a strong and rising mar
ket on Monday. This reasoning seemed
plausible; but it did not sufficiently reck-
on upon the possibilities of unforeseen
contingencies Between Thursday and
Monday the drift of events was unpro-
pitious and this week opened with de-
Cided preponderance of bear inftu-
ences The African situation had de-
come so critical that the avoidance of
war seemed almost beyond the power OF
dinlomacv: for although England SEEM
ed to be softening her attitude, yet the
Boers were yielding to the impulse Oh
war fever which Kruger might prove
unable to control. The Bank of England
had advanced its minimum rate OF DIS
count from ~ to Az per cent, which
was followed by like rise in the Lon
don open market In sympathy with
This expression of the great banks esti-
mate of the situation, foreign exchange
suddenly became ftrmer and last week S
homes of early mportatiOns Of gold had
to be Indefinitely deferred; indeed, in
the estimate of some, it had become
question of whether we might not have
to ship the metal to London. Most peo-
Die seem to have overlooked the fact
that. on Monday, some $500 900 had to
be transferred from the city banks to
the city treasurer in payment for taxes,
and they only realized the Importance
of this factor when ID per cent bad to
be paid for money on the stock exchange.
The statement of the associated banks
showed loss of $1,250,000 in reserves,
the surplus over legal requirements be-
Ing only $i724,Q00, compared with ~ ay-
ere &c of 24,65O,6t0 at the same date of
the preceding five years. The expecta
ton of a falling Oft in the shipments of
money to the interior was disappointed,
and bankers had come to the conclusion,
from the high rates of exchange with
interior points, that we have to face a
still considerable outflow Of currency to
the West and South.
This vas the changed aspect of affairs
with which the week opened. The eff
feet amounted to almost paralysis on
the stock exchange For the first three
days of the week the transactions ag-
gregated Only 1,101 300 shares, or little
more than one-thid the volume on an
active market. Outside spectators stood
afoof and the principal buyers. other

question of any royal parsonage who

treatment would be meted out to the I'LL

Consumption of Beer.

some interesting figures on the world s
consumption of beer. In 1898 there were
l,6o2 beer oreweries in Austria Hungary
and 20.340 in Hungary. The total number
Of all breweries in the world Is given as

100000 gallons of beer. The excise duty
paid by all the breweries amounted in
1898 to no less than $4S2. 900, 000 The larg-
est per capita consumption of beer is, of
course, In the fatherland. 1t amounts to
78 gallons in Bavaria per capita of the
population. as against the minimum of
0 80 gallons in Spain. Bavaria leads all
beer-brewing countries of the world;
there is no other country whose beer

Wheat has lost fully 1c since last report
of the weekly fluctuations of the market.
This has been attributed largely to the
uncertainty of what may happen In the
Transvaal. Should war begin, then wheat
prices would quickly soar upward, but,
on the contrary, should the Britons and
Beers settle their differences without re-
sort to arms, then there would come
slump, Of which the bulls have decided
dread The dealers are taking the wiser
course in awaiting developments before
plunging into the vortex Of speculation
At all the leading grain centers there has
been a marked disinclination on the part
of the bull element to buy grain in guam
titles and the shorts have not worried
over the possibility of being caught in a
sudden rise. 1t is safe to assert that
there will be little change in wheat prices
until something more definite is done in
the Transvaal.
CORN AND OATS.
The unsettled conditions are not con-
fined to wheat. Corn and oats have
shared in the depression that set in about
the middle of the week, and the demand
has been light for both grains, while
prices have correspondingly receded. Corn
has held its own to a better degree than
have oats, which are duller and less in
evidence in trading than for many weeks.
STOCKS GROW FIRMER.
With the easing up of the money mar
ket stocks have resumed some Of the

prolonged a period. Prices at the close
Saturday for railroads and the leading
industrials were better than for many

that figure they have now dropped to

Few Die I'm Tasmania.

If the statement OF Harry Benjafied
a health officer in Tasmania, is exact,
that country must be conducive to
long life, and its cities healthy to live
in. He says that the population of
Hobart and its suburbs is 10000, and
that in 1898 the total number Of
deaths was sci, or about IA in every
1000. He says, further, that Of the SCI
persons who died, 1856 were more than
65 years old, representing 91s per 1000
OF the deaths and leaving only Az per
1000 for deaths of children and all
others under 65 years old. He believes
he is justified in challenging any 9TH
err city in the world to produce equally
favorable figures, particularly the
small figures for deaths under 60 years
OF age. Tasmania has been under
British control for about one century.

ton is native-born OF British parent

CANNOT COUNT THREE.
Primitive People of the Murray Islands

Primitive People OF the Murray Islands
An expedition recently sent out from
England TO the Murray islands has
brought some interesting information
about the islanders. These primitive
people, it appears, cannot count high
er than two. "Netat" is their word
for one, and nets" for two. When
they want to say three they say "one-
two" (metal-nests) and when they
want TO say four "two-two- (nets-
nets). Higher figuring than these they
express by means of their bodies.
Thus they began to count from the
little finger on the left hand, and,
proceeding thence to the other fingers,
they successfully reach the wrist, the
arm. the right wrist md finally the
fingers on the right hand. In this way
they can count as high as thirty
When they want to express a higher
number than this they can only use
the word "gaire" which signifies many.
This ancient mthod of counting, how
ever, is fast disappearing, thanks to
the strenuous efforts which the English
are making to teach the islanders the
ordinary rules of arithmetic. Ethnolo-
gsts, therefore, are especially glad that
information about this ancient me-
thod Of counting has come to them just
as 1t was on the point of disappear
ing forever.

Prof. A. w. Small is an optimist.
Nevertheless he thinks that he sees
clouds on the social horizon already
bigger than a mans hand. If they
continue to enlarge, in the shape OF
trusts, to the bursting point, the re-
suit will be, he thinks, something like
this: 1.-The men whose business it is
to communicate ideas to their genera
ton will be gagged by those who pub
lish ideas; and the publishers will be
shackled by the manufacturers Of pa
per; and the papermakers will be held
up and hindered by the transportation
trusts; and the transporters by the
producers of STEEL and the steel in
dustries by the coal operators; and the
coal miners by the oil producers; and
the oil magnates by the stovemakers
and the oil consumers; and the cook
stove men and their aids and abetters
by the sugar trust; and the sugar in
terest by Wall street; and the stock
brokers and spectators by the labor
unions; and the labor unions by the
farmers; and the farmers-God help
them-by everybody A grim TRACE

Anarchy Reigns IN Samoa.

Advices from Samoa indicate that
the instructions received from the
powers to cease hostilities makes the
situation in the islands very serious,
as the rebels hold the main food sup
plies and are again near the munich
pality of Apia. The white people in
the outskirts of the city are at the
mercy of the rebels. The American
vice consul's store at Falifa was looted
last week, while a German store adj
joining it was left untouched. British
and American residents all strongly
condemn the action of the powers in
ordering a cessation of hostilities at
this stage.
