new DOCKET
Largest In History
Of Summit County Court
of Common Pleas.

The docket of the January term,
Common Pleas court, will be the
largest in the county's history.
1t should be n good argument for
those who favor legislation which
will give this sub. division another
judge.
During the last term Judge Kohler
has referred many divorce cases to
young attorneys. In this way an
extra large number of actions have
been heard. Notwithstanding this
there will be over $50 cases on the
new docket. This is an increase oi
over 60 as compared with the docket
for the September term, which was
the largest up to that time.

FORTY-TWO NEW TRUSTS.
They Involve a Capital Of
Just $3.50
100000.
FORTY-TwO NEW TRUSTS.

Of the various Industries to which
the consolidation process has been APP
piled in recent months none furnishes
a more striking illustration of the
enormous proportions of this move
ment than the iron and steel trade,
says the New York Journal of Com
merce and Commercial Bulletin.
In this, one consolidation has fol-
lowed another until it seems that there
can now be little left to consolidate.
Since the organization of the Federal
Steel Company, just about year ago,
with an authorized capital of 5000 000,-
900, half of which is issued, new COM
binations of iron and steel interests
have been launched with phenomenal
rapidity, and the figures Of capitaliza-
ton of these great corporations reach
in the aggregate a sum that is almost
Incredible While the authorized cap
itahzation of a new company is not
altogether satisfactory criterion,
some idea of the extent to which con-
solidation has been effected in this in
dustry may, perhaps, be gained from
the statement that the united capital
ization of such combinations formed
during the past welve months closely
approaches one billion dollars, while
deals now under way add over $780,
100000 more to these figures.
The following table gives in detail
the principal consolidation in the iron
and steel trade during the past year,
with the authorized issues of preferred
and common stock and bonds:

in the majority of the list was varied,
realizing going on a liberal way at one
portion of the list while prices were
marked up in another One or two
stocks showed conspicuous strength,
but the tendency to advance in the rail-
road list was surprisingly uniform, and
took all grades of stocks from the
highest priced railroads to the low price
issues.
But there were spots in the industrial
list which proved exceedingly vulnera-
Bile, and the fierce and persistent deter
mination with which the bears raided
these resulted in wiping out the major
ity of gains which had been achieved in
the railroads, and reducing practically
all that remained to fractional limits.
Brooklyn Transit suffered the severest
attack from the bears. 1t was offered
down through successive stages, each
drop bringing out a deluge of long
stock and dIslodging stop loss orders.
The success of the bears with this stock
encouraged them to extend their at
tack to other members of the so-called
Flower group. They forced down In
ternational Paper an extreme points
and Federal Steel suffered to the ex-
tent of S5s Peoples Gas lost over 2
points and Rock Island a point. The
extent of the decline invited hasty COW
ering, and there were rallies of to 8
points in the group.
Manhattan, Metropolitan Street Rail-
way and Third Avenue showed wide
declines in sympathy, ranging from rs
to AK in the case of the first two named.
Sugar was also vulnerable after an
early gain of point and dropped near
ly 2 points. Steel & Wire showed
dropping tendency and other iron and
steel stocks were also heavy. A large
portion of the days business in the
railroads was done at prices above Sat-
urday's level. Tennessee Coal rose
buoyantly IA points to par in the first
few minutes of trading. 1t went back
during the day to 81, but closed at 80.
Louisville continued in active demand
and sold up to S37s.
A large number of low priced stocks,
notably Denver & Rio Grande and Nor
folk & Western, were in good demand,
and the large organized buying of
Southern Pacific was continued This
stock was held back by realizing and

roads in Colorado were uniformly
strong on the improved conditions in the
mining industry of that state. Atchi-

and the Baltimore & Ohio stocks and
Union Pacific were in large demand.
American Tobacco gained nearly 2
points. There we're number of other

Exception might be raised to the in
clusion of such concerns as the Otis
Elevator and American Shipbuildine
companies in this list, but these are so
closely identified with the iron and
steel industry that their mention seems
entirely proper Even it, however, such
companies are excluded the total as
above given would not be seriously
modified.
noteworthy feature of the larger
companies is the extensive control
which these have acquired of supplies
Of raw material. Most OF them have
sought to place themselves in an indie
pendent position in this respect. The
Federal Steel Company by the acqulsi-
ton of the Minnesota Iron Company
secured forty thousand acres of rich
iron lands in Minnesota, insuring a
supply OF ore that is described as mex
haustible. The output Of the Minneso-
Ia iron mines in 1897 was over 2,250,O0
tons, and in 1898 about 2,400 900 tons.
The National Steel Company has re-
Gently made purchases of mining prop

In a position to provide its own raw
material. The Republic Iron and Steel
Company already has five important
mines in Alabama and the Lake supe-
rior region And perhaps more I'M
portant than any of these are the vast
properties Of the Rockefeller Oliver in
terests, from which the Carnegie COM
pany can draw its supplies.

English sole. held by some persons
in very high esteem, sells in this market
at from 80 cents to a dollar pound,
according to the supply and demand.
The fish imported weigh commonly
from pound and half to two pounds
each; they are brought over packed
in ice, in refrigerator rooms of fast
steamers. The consumption here is
chiefly in the season from October to
May. There are only four or five deal
ers in the city that import English
sole, and their aggregate annual impor-
tations probably do not much exceed
5000 pounds. English sole have been

FROZEN IN FORMS OF ICE.
Posters, Meats, Fishes aAd
Fko~es~ Thus Put Up for Par
poses of Display.

Artificial ice is commonly frozen in
blocks 11x22x+0 inches, weighing 800
pounds. Into such or even larger
blocks theater posters are sometimes
frozen for the purpose of novelty in
display, the blocks being placed lying
fiat or standing on end upon the side
walk. Even when thus exposed block
OF such size will last for consider
able time. Now and then florist has
a bunch of flowers frozen in a cake of
ice for the same purpose. A butcher
may have leg of lamb frozen in an ice
block and sometimes a fish dealer has
a fish frozen in block of ice, which is
set on edge, the fish showing in its nat
ural position in the center of the block.
Occasionally flowers are frozen in ice
to make decorative piece for u dinner
table, the nolds used for such purposes
being more or less ornamental in de-
sign or decorative in effect. One mold
that is used for this purpose produces
an ice form having square base,
slightly tapering, surmounted by
dome. This piece is about 12 inches
square at the base and about so inches
in height. Another form used for this
purpose is pyramid, another is an
obelisk, and still another is column
supported on base. LIZ.
1t takes care and labor to freeze the
flowers in the ice in attractive and suit
able shape. Separate buds may have to
be held in position in the water until
the gradually freezing ice comes up to
support them where they have been
held. Roses and various flowers are
frozen in ice forms in this manner.
At an ice manufacturing esta blishment
in the city, at Christmas time, there
was frozen into block of ice for
customer bunch of holly Decoration
pieces for the table are, of course, set
upon a suitable holder. Such pieces
will last without great deterioration for
hours.
While ice in these various forms for
display and decorative purposes is
called for occasionally, the demand is
not great.-N. Y. Sun.
