Berlin, Nov. 25.-Iuhuenced by the New
York markets the Berlin bourse last week
resumed its DessimistiC tones; all lines
of securities were weak, coal and iron
being particularly so, and all scored
marked gains. This reaction is variousIy
explained. In addition TO the renewal of
unsatisfactory reports from the iron in
dustry, the Agrarian proposal in the
reichstag contemplating d tariff war with
the United States. and the motion. emdn-
auuS from the same quarter to intensity
- evils of the bOurse law, there were
depressing factors in the general anxiety
regarding the CZar and the publication OF
the estimate of bank dividends, showing
loU-- returns than those of 1899
All these elements combined 10 intensi-
fy reaction. Domestic government funds
remained weak, although the decline in
them was but slight. Swiss railway Sc
cUrities were heavily traded in The
quotations for Americans caused Ger

The heavy American securities recently
sold in London and especially in New
York changed the bank balances, which
in the view of the FrankfurJer ZeitunE
relieves the market here of all fear oI
gold exports. Indeed, this journal CON
siders il probable that gold will come
from New York TO pay for securities.
Small sums of foreign gold have been re
ceiVed at the Reichsbank, and the money
market at the ginning of the monthly
settlement shows great ease.

For October the income OF the Prussian

the syndicate of Franc0-American bank

FLOODS IN OHIO VALLEY.
Rushing Streams Swell Volume
of Vast Water Course.
THE LOSSES ARE HEAVY
LUMBERMEN, HOWEVER, PLAN
TO PROFIT BY CONDITIONS.

Cincinnati, Nov. 25.-FIOods are re-
ported all along the Ohio valley today.
In almost the entire valley it has been
continuously since Friday. While no
lives are reported lost. the damage to
property is considerable.
The Licking river in Kentucky is
high, and has caused some damage on
the Ohio side bye its waters rushing
across the Ohio channel and sweeping
the Cincinnati landing. One of the
bridges over the Licking, connecting
CovingtOn and Newport, was swept
away. The lumber yards, mills and
shipping generally suffered great loss.
On the Ohio side the Great and Little
Miami rivers are both high, and floods
along the tributaries Of the Ohio river
are reported everywhere.
The Ohio rose eight feet here during
the last twenty-fOur hours. nnd is III
ing more rapidly tonight.
Rising Fast at Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 25.-The Ohio
river, at the dam, tonight, is ga feet
high. and rising rapidly. By tomorrow
fourteen feet or more is expected. Five
million bushels of coal will be shipped
to southern points. The Consolidated
Coal company has arranged for every
boat in port, twenty-five in number, to
go out on the rise. and the boats COM
ing up with the empties will be return
ed as rapidly as possible, until the 30
900. 900 bushels now loaded are on their
way south.
Lumbermen Are Pleased.
WilliamspOTt, Pa. Nov. 25.-It has
been raining all along the watershed
of the west branch of the Susquehanna
river for the past forty-eight hours,
and the prospects for a freshet are
bright. A freshet is most devOutly
hoped for by the lumber men here, as
there has been no flood the entire sea-
son in which the 200 O00, 900 feet or SO
of logs could be fioated to the bOOms
here.
Reports from CIearfield, the point
from which the estimates of the height
of the water are based, showed a three
and a half-fOOt rise there, and still ris-
ing. The prospects are that there VIII
be a twelve-foot flood here before the
storm ceases. Between 25,000,OO0 and 80
900. 900 feet in logs are stranded between
this city and Removes, and the timber
is expected to arrive here by the middle
of this week.
All the mills in the city viii imme-
diately start, in an effort to saw the
logs before a freeze-uD.

Success.

success.
Washington, Nov. 25.-RepOrtS of the
chief signal officer from Manila indi-
cate that the war department has
made an important discovery in con-
nection with submarine cable work in
tropical waters.
One of the war department cables
that was shipped to Manila and put
down for inter-iSland communication
was of the rubber insulated variety.
The English cable experts in the ISL
and predicted its speedy destruction by
the tOredo, a submarine boring worm
which eats everything short of rail-
road iron that is submerged in the
water.
The English cable with gutta percha
Insulation resists the attacks of this
insect for only about year, and 1t IS
necessary to insert in the cable armOr
a thick continuous wrapper of copper
to prevent the tOTeda from boring clear
through to the conducting wires and
short -circuiting the cable. This cop
per protection adds considerably to the
expense Of the cable, without adding to
its efficiency for Geographic purposes.
It seems, however, that the American
cable with its rubber insulation, which
has been down for two years. is still
in good working order Colonel Allen.
chief signal officer in the islands, has
advised General Greedy that the cable
staff of the signal service is at present
organized on very effective footing.
and will be able to lay any amount of
cable which the department may see
fit to shin to Manila.

chief of the division of mining and
mineral resources of the United States
geological survey, has completed the
annual summary Of the mineral pro-
duction of the United States from 1890

Pig Iron Increases Most.
The greatest increase in 1899 was in
the value Of the pig iron product. which
increased to s245, liz, 654 or about 10 per

was due TO the phenomenal demand and
nigh prices. The increase in coal pro-
QQcuOn added over 5000 900, or % per
cent to the 1898 value. Copper increased
nss-rly 60,0C0,000 pounds in quantity, and
over S42,O00,OOO in value, the ruling
prices being higher than for a number
of years past
Crude petroleum advanced nearly

Gold Jumps 10 Per Cent.
An increase of about 10 per cent. or

ST. Petersburg, Nov. 25.-From three
sources of information directly con-
nected with as many ministers Of state
the St. Petersburg correspondent of the
Associated Press today ascertained
that imperial officials are becoming ex-
tremely pessimistic regarding the con-
dition Of Emperor Nicholas, and assert
that the Lividia bulletins conceal the
gravity of his illness.
In spite of the notorious ease with
which an alarmist rumor can be cir
culated in the Russian capital, many
good judges believe that the chances
of the cars recovery are diminishing.
One report says that the emperor,
in addition to typhoid fever with pee
tOral complications, has brain fever,
the result of the blow he received from
a fanatic8l policeman during his tour
in Japan. and it is even asserted in
some quarters that trepanning has be-
come necessary.

Although the imperial ministers have
assumed wider powers IN admlnistTa-
ton since his maiesty's illness began,
the whole machine of government is
