The statement reflects the prosperous
condition of the coal business and of the
railway, but does not give any of the re-
suits of the recent advance in the price OF
coal. 1t is to be supposed that the August
statement and that for this month will be
even better. The street is disposed to con-
slider it most satisfactory one, and it
will probably have a good effect on the
entire anthracite group of stocks.

suits for men,
$500.

More men want medium
weight suits right now than we
first anticipated. OF the 200
suits we put on sale Thursday
morning, about a third of them
We're sold. They are suits
which may be worn with com
fort all winter-not without an
overcoat, but few people go
without that in severe weather.
They are $40 suits, toO-the
best $40 suits YOU have ever
seen. Splendid assortment of
mixed patterns which you'll
like in neat cheviots.
There are not many Summer
Suits left and what there are
are large sizes; some of them
sold up to as high as $3.50,
but no matter, they all go at 50

The New York traction securities
were an exception to the general
weakness. All of them advanced
during the day, and closed with
good net gains. No particular reason was
given for the movement, except more talk
of the deal between Metropolitan and Man
haitian. One rumor was to the effect that
Mr.. Whitney has an option on the Gould
holdings of Manhattan. 1t was also said
that the Metropolitan will hereafter guar
antee Manhattan 6 per cent dividends The
foundation for these stories was not to be
discovered, but 1t seems very probable that
some deal is on between the two systems.
Manhattan opened at 11S 1-S, and went as
high as 116, closing at the top price. Metro
politan advanced two points Brooklyn was
particularly weak in the morning, but ad-
Yanced point before the close.
The times., 1899-09-09

Tennessee Coal and Iron was another
exception to the general rule of a sagging
market. 1t advanced from 112 the level
at which 1t has hung for two or three days,
to III. and closed at the top price The
excellent condition of the company, now
pretty generally realized, and the contin-
uance of good buying by influential peo-
pie was the chief cause of the squirt yes
terday, and also more of the shorts were
known TO be covering with heavy losses.
The company can make iron cheaper than
the new concerns, and as for its over
capitalization the thing does not exist
any longer owing to the advance in the
value OF its properties.

Chicago Gas was weak at one time dur
ing the day. getting as low as III ga.
Apparently the decline was on realizing
by small holders and should not be taken
seriously by people with good margins
any more than any of the other declines.
The affairs Of the company are known TO
be in excellent shape, with much more
than the per cent earned on the stock.

A particularly weak afternoon in Pacific
Mail was one of the features of the mar
ket. The stock, which has dragged for some
weeks, opened at 46 Ia, and declined TO
AZ 1-2, the lowest price for many weeks.
Before the close il had recovered fraction
ally, but the close was only fraction above
43. There was decrease in the surplus of
the company for the month of August OF
s1s2 ,o00 and this, following the same kind
of statement for the previous month, seemed
TO fill the street with the idea that the busi-
ness of the company is disappearing. 1t is.
of course, unpleasant TO see the earnings Of
the company growing smaller, while every
other concern in the country, almost, is
augmenting its earnings steadily, but there
is no particular reason in this for investors
TO become frightened and throw the stock
overheard. 1t must be remembered that
Pacific Mails very large contracts with the
Government last year at fat prices swelled
its earnings abnormally There can be no
doubt, however, that the legitimate and reg
ular business of the company will increase
wonderfully as Americas Pacific trade in
creases. People who buy the stock on this
decline will probably get it cheaper than
they ever viii again, in the opinion of many
conservative investors.

The Paris coul Gil of hygiene has there
fore forbidden the employment of
painted or unpainted wood from old

The lighting of a room depends, to
a large extent, upon the color and the

upon the percentage of light reflected

Fish and Game Birds.

Inasmuch as the Fish Commission since
1890, has raised the number of shad an
nually marketed from little over
5000, 900 to nearly 20OO0,00O, Mr.. Lacey
firmly believes that an equivalent increase
of the game birds of the country could be
obtained by similar methods
By artificial breeding, game birds may
be induced to lay greatly increased
number of eggs, just as the female de-
scendant of the primitive chicken has been
pursuaded to produce at least six times
the number of potential offspring yield
ed by her primitive ancestress of the
forest of India.
1t is proposed that the government
should try to establish the common quail
on basis of semi at some
Matching station, with coyey of these
birds for a starter. They are specially
available for the purpose, because they are
so prolific, as many as twentv-siX eggs
being sometimes found in single quail :
nest 1t is easy to ina CINE future quail
hatchery thus established with series of
gas incubators in operation.

Ladies' Duped.

A correspondent of the Baltimore
American" writing from Hyattsville
saws: Several well-known ladies of this
TOW have good reason to believe that they
have been victimiZed. About one week
or so since well-drcssed. middle-aged
man came into town, as a representative
of an alleged hardware store in Philadel
phia He succeeded in soliciting several
orders for kitchen utensils, offering the
goods at an exceedingly low figure. for
the purpose as he stated, of establishing
a reputation for the goods. Offer was
made to dispose of the goods for cash, or
to deliver them c. o. D. in Hyattsville.
For this latter method an extra ten cents
was charged. A discount was allowed in
case the goods were paid for in cash.
Duplicate receipts were issued in the name
of the alleged firm. This was about one
week since, and, notwithstanding his
promise to deliver the goods at once, moth
ing has been heard from them. Some of
the purchasers paid cash for the goods,
aud it is believed that the agent secured
about $40 here. This is not the first tine
that citizens have been victimiZed in this
manner, and much indignation is ex
pressed.

To Shock all Bacilli.

\ discovery in electric force is annonc-
ed whereby the inventor claims that he
can send million volts through the
human body killing all forms of bacilli,
including those of tuberculosis, without
incidentally, annihilating the patient. A
New York attorney is now in Washing
ton filing with the Patent Office the papers
necessary to protect this discovery. The
inventor proposes to take advantage of
the fact that glass is not an absolute
resistant OF non-conductor, but that a
tremendous electrical current striking
against a glass case, in which is inclosed
a human body, is ditfused over the
wide eNpanse of glass plates, and hence
permeate> all parts of the human body in
side the glass case.
