The rather cheerful tone Of the weekly
trade reviews, the good railroad earnings
for the third week in January and the
expectation Of strong bank statement
ment of st. Paul checked the movement,
on account Of the decrease of $169.000 In
net earnings for the month. by reason OF
increased operating expenses. The de-
crease in net earnings of the system for
the fiscal year is thus brought up to
1899 900. The stock was offered down a
sharp fraction on the showing, Buriing-
ton closely following and the whole list
showing the effect.
There was but an Indifferent rally on
the bank statement and prices were
slightly lower than yesterday at the close.
The proportions Of the loan increase again
proved surprise, though the loan expan-
sion was only a fraction of the increased
credit facilities afforded by the cash In

The Great Variety of Hues Deriva-
BILE From That Product.
apod Words.
The coloring power which can be deriv-
ed from coal tar is quite astonishing.
From one ton of good camel coal are OBJ
tanned by distillation about twelve gal
Ions of coal tar. From this tar are pro-
duced one pound of benzine, one pound
teulene, one and half pounds of phe-
MOL or carbolie acid. six pounds Of naph-
thalene, half a pound Of anthracene, and
small quantity of xylene. From ben
zine are obtained fine yellow orange
green, blue and violet colors; from tolu-
enc come magentas and beautiful blues;
from phenol, reds, browns and pinks;
from naphthalene, reds. yellows and
greens; from xylene, the finest scarlets;
and from anthracene the we'll known
Turkey red. From one pound of cal Is
obtainend one ounce and half of tar,
from which can be derived dyes sufficient
to color the following lengths of flannel
three quarters of a yard wide: F ur inch
es of Turkey red. eight inches magenta,
three and a half feet scarlet, two inches
orange, five feet of yellow and two feet
Of violet. When we remember that over
100000 tons of coal are used for gas
making every year In this country alone,
our minds cannot realize the immense
reserts.
The manufacture of coal-tar colors has
now assumed immense dimensions, and
its development within the short space OF
time stands unique In the history Of COM
merce. Few Of our readers. except those
engaged in the chemical and color trades,
can realize it's beneficial influence upon
allied industries. The raw materials
alone exported from England consume
annually before their conversion into col
oring matters. somewhere like 10000 tons
strong sulphurio acid. 10000 tons carbo-
nate of soda 1000 tons hpdrochloric acid,
besides large quantities of various other
chemicals. In one large establishment
alone are employed over 1909 work people,
not including ECO clerks and eighty re-
search chemists. Even such figures give
us but poor idea Of the great influence
such an industry has In promoting
trade.

Wheat shows a gain FOR the week in ex-
cess of 2 cents-something that has not
happened In many weeks previous Friday
the advance was fully cent and one-half,
and there was quite a furry in conse-
quence. The bull element had become
somewhat gloomy over the action of the
market, and the sudden advance and evil
dences of strength came as pleasing sur
prise There were reasons for the action
Of the market, but they were not so clear
ly defined as might have been desired,
and, as consequence, dealings were In q
measure restricted those having conf
dence in the belief that wheat was too
low still bearing in mind the failure of
the market. to respond to factors that
ordinarily would accentuate strength, and
carry the market along in the regular
groove. Perhaps the most potent factor
in the advance was the news of lack Of
snow in the wheat belt, where the weather
had somewhat suddenly grown severely
cold. War news from South Africa does
not seem to act upon the market as
readily as might be thought, but there Is
reason to believe that there will be a
stronger market for time than there
has been in many weeks
CORN AND OATS.
Corn has not followed wheat closely the
past week. In fact there Is less confidence
in corn than prevailed the week previous.
At times there We're indications Of re-
turn Of strength, but almost invariably
the close found the coarser grain on the
downward tendency, while wheat was
climbing upward. And there is no rea-
son given for this condition Of the market.
Absence of export demand is all that has
been cited, and that has seemed rather
a lame excuse at times.
Oats have attracted little attention
throughout the week. The demand has
been nominal and prices are at about a
standstill. &c ~
STOCKS RATHER SLOW.
The stock market has not profited much
by the easing Of the money market. For
a time the cry was that the outgo Of gold
was responsible for the weakness Of
stocks-especially the industrials. Now,
however, that excuse cannot be consist
emily set FORTH as the outgo Of gold has
practically ceased and the flow Of money
from the interior to New York has been
steadily growing. There is less interest
being taken by the public, and the deal
ings are largely professional. Until there
is a change In this there will likely be a
quiet market. ;es9

LITTLE RED TAPE.
there isn't az Do,,ob

why, there isn't as much red tape
about it as you would fancy he said.
1.-THE action as q reward for which the
cross Is given must be performed in the
presence of the enemy, and 1t is desirable
that the superior officer Of the man who
distinguishes himself should have wit
messed it. 1t happens sometimes, how
ever, that no officer is present and in a
case like that the candidate must prove
by his companions that he really did what
he asserts that he did When his imme-
date superior is satisfied that he ought to
be rewarded he writes an account of the
business and hands it to the officer in
command of the forces, and he indorses
the papers and sends them on to the war
office Here they are laid before Lord
Wolseley, the commander-in-chief, who
passes upon them and decides to which
applicants the cross shall be given.
"Of course the-cross goes most often to
a soldier, sailor of marine, and when it
happens that the fortunate man is In
England he receives his medal from the
hand of the queen herself. If he is in the
field, however, or on shipboard, he re-
ceives his decoration from the general or
admiral in chief command ON the semi
annual inspection day and in the presence
of the men who were at the scene of his
exploit
"Then men who have done brave things
do apply personality"
Certainly they do. That Is In keeping
with the spirit of the warrant which the
queen first issued, in 1856, and which saws
that her majesty desires that the new
decoration should be highly priced and
eagerly sought after In that warrant
she said that as the third class order of
the Bath was limited to the officers in
the higher branches Of the service and
as no way then existed to reward heroes
adequately for meritorious actions-for
army medals of the ordinary kind are
given only for long service and excep-
tional conduct-the Victoria Cross was In
stituted.
Sometimes it has happened that several
Ken have done deed deserving of the
cross, without any one of them having
distinguished himself above his comrades.
In that case the several officers meet and
select one officer to be decorated; the nom
commissioned officers select one non-com-
missioned officer to be decorated, and the
soldiers, marines or seamen also gather
and appoint two Of their number to re-
ceive the crosses
ss - GENERAL ORDER
Besides the ceremony of presentation
in the presence of his comrades" he went
on, "the Victoria Cross man has his name
mentioned in general order from the
war office, with the particulars of his
heroism, and his name also appears in the
