BANKER CLEWS' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
~fF Wall Street.

The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street.
New York. Jan. 1.-THE general condb-
tons in Wall street have not materially
changed during the past week. In the
stock market, a high pitch of activity is
maintained with higher average range
of prices in the better class of stocks
Among the room traders, however. there
is an element of persistent sellers: but
their influence is offset by the outside
buying element. There are undoubtedly
exposed spots in the case of stocks which
have been run up 10 extreme figures by
influential cliques; and these are the main
points of attack from the professional
bears" while they induce some circum-
specton among the more cautious "bulls. 3"
But the general conditions controlling the
value of securities remain favorable and
room sellers have to face a preponderance
of bullish influences There has been some
considerable selling on foreign account
during the week, but the stocks have been
taken without any visible effect on the
local market; and, in estimating the i'm
portance of these foreign realizings, 1t is
to be taken into account that Americans.
have been the strongest stocks on the Eu-
ropean bourses. London follows closely
the prospects of the fate of the Paris
treaty. The indications are that the deep
interest taken by England in our acuuisi-
ton of the Philippines might develop into
an active buying of our securities for in
vestment in that country, in the event of
the ratification of the treaty, which now
seems to be foregone conclusion. These
foreign movements, however come and go
without any longer making much impress
sion on Wall street. The only important
element of weakness in the stock market
centers in the "industrals" Outside of
very limited line Of exceptions. those
stocks have long had to encounter a GER
tain amount of distrust; but as their wide
and frequent fluctuations have offered spe-
cial temptations to sanguine operators
they have ranked among the most active
properties on the list.
There can be no doubt that the rapid
increase now in process in these industrial
amalgamations Is having its effect upon
the otherwise hopeful influences that are
enhancing the value of legitimate invest
ments. The surprising magnitude of these
new creations cause conservative men to
halt and ask-what Is 10 be The outcome
of the wave of speculative organizat ton
that is spreading over our industrial sys-
tenn? Their eye is upon this cloud in the
horizon, and not a few cautious men are
disposed to stand still until they are more
satisfied with this Industrial outlook The
moral is--confine your purchases to rail
road investments of reasonable soundness.

From the New York Times.
Mayor Van Wyck yesterday listened to
a complaint made by the Pawnbrokers'
Association against Bernard Birnbaun. a
pawnbroken of 1868 Third avenue, who was
accused of violating the code of ethics of
his profession in various and diverse ways.
George w. McAdam, the attorney for the
association appeared as prosecutor He
told how Birnbaum had postdated pawn
tickets, so as to render forfeiture and ulti-
mate gain 10 himself more certain. There
were other Irregularities charged against
the man, who assured the Mayor that I'D
vas all a misdake--a misdake" In an in
genius way and by the use of some badly
broken English the pawnbroker explained
that the "misdake" came about through
his having an old calendar hanging over
his desk.
The attorney for the association, how
>ver, urged that the mans license be for
feited but the Mayor, turning to the law
yer, said
Did you ever have any experience with
wnbrokers?"
Mr.. McAdam was about TO reply that the
only relation he had ever had with a pawn
broker was that of lawyer TO client when
the Mayor interrupted him, saying:
"Well, l did. ] had a watch when was
a boy, that cost S25. 1 got into the habit
Of hooking 1t, and by The time / got out
Of that habit / figured that the watch had
cost me nearly 5000. / don't think the
evidence against this man warrants the
forfeiture of his license 50 I'll dismiss the
complaint"

BOOK NOTICES.

1t Is hard to say whether the fifty-sixth
volume Of the Century CMay-October, 1899
is more notable for the permanent value
of text and Illustrations, or for the time
illness of it's contents. Notable descriptive
papers on the Spanish war, and essays.
editorials and historical articles on ques-
. tons involved therein, such as the acqui-
stion of Porto Rico and the Philippines,
appeal to the reader 20 whom the present

The two bound volumes of ST. Nicholas
for young folks, for the year ending Oc-
tober, 1898, show a successful effort on
the part of Mary Mapes Dodge and her
associates to mngle instruction with
amusement. Rudyard Kiping's Just So
Stories" alternate with illustrated articles
on American warships and guns and ar
NOR. and Frank r. Stockton's "Bucca-
neers and Pirates" jostle Tudor jerks

Grass Grown in the Shade.

From Pennsylvania city comes an
inquiry &C to whether in order to grow
grass in the shade it is necessary to use
some particular seed, or whether the
only cure is to cut some of the sur
rounding trees and thus tighten the
shade. A park expert says that grass
can be grown in shady places, provided
good seed is used and the soil is not
sour. To settle the last question it is
only necessary to take a piece of blue
litmus paper, turn some of the soil and,
after wetting it, place it on top of the
paper for ten or fifteen minutes. If the
paper turns red the soil is sour. The
remedy for sour soil is from one to two
bushels of lime per 1000 square feet,
according to the degree of redness
shown on the paper by the test. To
preserve a growth of grass close to
large trees fertilization will be neces-
sary every year. A particular brand
of seeds is also desirable, and on this
point the advice of a good scotsman
had better be taken.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

A Study in Mechanics.

The Deering Ideal Mower, made in
Chicago, affords an interesting study in
advanced machines, and is as project a
machine as brain, Drawn and money can
build. 1t is furnished throughout with
Deering Roller and Ball Bearings. The
''IdeaP' has very wide truck and high
wheels, insuring great stability and am
pie action. Its gears are light, strong
and reliable In this machine the amount
of lost motion is so slight that the instant
one of the mower wheels starts it COM
municates power to the crank shaft and
knife, thus making it possible to start in
heavy grass without backing. The knife
may be removed in fifteen seconds, sim
ply by raising latch. 1t is the only now
er on the market equipped with Ball
Bearings Of the bicycle pattern.

News eff the Railways.

London capitalists intend to build rail
road line in Alaska from Norton sound to
the Yukon river.
Word from the coast says the Wander
bits are about to complete line from
Salt Lake to Los Angeles.
Official notice has been given Of the pur-
chase of the st. Louis and Northern Short
Line by the Chicago and Alton.
It is believed by officials that no change
will be made in the present arrangements
for transporting United States mail from
Chicago west.
The Chicago and Eastern Illinois road
is laying eighty-pound steel rails on its
north bound track between Chicago and
Danville, Ill.
Intervening petitions filed in the suit to
foreclose the Wisconsin Central Company
mortgage were withdrawn in the Milwau-
kee courts, and the way is cleared for re-
organization.
Extensive improvements are to be made
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad be-
tween Chicago and Pittsburg. Over fifty
bridges will be rebuilt, heavier rails laid
and the track doubled in a number Of
places.

Curious Christian Name.

III the Canterbury Diocesan Gazette
there is an interesting and authentic
record of the use of the Acts of the
Apostles as Christian name. The en-
tries are in the registers Of Boughton-
under-Blean. Actsapostle, son of
Thomas and Elizabeth Pegden, from
Dunkirk, was baptized Aug. 2, 1895,
and the burial of this Actsapostle Peg
den, aged 70 years, took place Nov. IA,
1865. The name seems to have been
abbreviated to Actsy, for the vicar of
Boughton has heard parishioner
speak of her uncle Actsy Pegden.
Again, Acts of the Apostles, son Of
Richard and Phoebe Aennett, was bap-
tiZed at Boughton church April, 1888.
