LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE
Experience of Last Week Was in Some
 Respects Unsatisfactory

London, July 29.-Last week the experi- ence of the stock exchange was in some respects satisfactory, but on the whole the market closed with brighter outlook than with which it began.
 The renewed advances of Lord Roberts was regarded as an encouraging sign, and the removal of the prospects of a serious railway strike also relieves the situation. The anxiety regarding the Chinese uprising and the prospect of dearer money still cloud the financial horizon; but yesterday s prospect was more cheerful, although 1t is not likely that business will become brisker during the coming week. In view of the bank holiday on August 5, it is probable that the markets will be closed from Fri day until Tuesday next
 The slump in home rails which began week before last continued last week until Thursday when the dividend announce ments and the bear coverings caused a sharp rally.

SAME OLD STORY
 OF DEPRESSION Bottom in Pig Iron Prices Has Not Been Reached.
1T Is A WIDE OPEN MARKE I
There is Not Sign of Concerted Sup port Anywhere Except in Rails and Structural Steel-De-
 cline is Resisted

New York, July 29.-(Special.) )-Still the same story. The talk of large inquiry in- dicating belief that the bottom is about reached, has little foundation in fact. In pig iron, at least, the new orders placed each week are less than 25 per cent of the known consumption of the week. This has continued for months A grand settlement must be had some day, but it is idle to say that the day is in sight
 It is as wide open a market as the most ardent enemy of trusts could wish. There is not a sign of concerted support any where, except in rails and structural steel. Indeed there is a pretty broad suspicion that the decline, if not actually encour- aged, is at least very little resisted by the large interests. There are those who be- lieve that the situation will be righted the quickest and surest by getting right under the skin with the least possible delay. And so we have 5000 billets, $1.15 bars, $1.2O plates and other features in proportion. Current figures on pig iron do not bring back cost to large number of furnaces, which, however, hold on with tenacity born of hope of early revival. If it shall appear that the reaction is not likely to some soon, the blowing out movement will become more general.
 Wall street, which foresaw and dis counted the decline when iron men took no stock in it. persists now in its belief of better things to come before long. And so we see advances in the iron and steel stocks ranging from two to eight points in the week. Prices have firmed up in Great Britain, and some good-sized trans- actions for export are reported. The En- glish and German iron and steel industries are well employed, but continue in a state of nervous fright over imports from Amer lea These are. of course, increasing, but it is curious fact that so far this year the total of pig iron exports is less than half that of corresponding period last year. when they attracted no notice what ever.

ioii thc IOSlOli IleIdlu
 Hannis Taylor of Mobile, Ala. who filled the position of Minister to Spain from this country for the four years of President Clevelands S second administration, is brought forward in his home district as a candidate for the national Congress. MT. Taylor is the kind of man that not the South alone, but the whole nation, needs in Congress. His reputation is national. The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle says of him:
 We have some personal knowledge of the truth of this statement Mr. Taylor is great literary genius, philosopher and statesman, learned lawyer and distinguished diplomatist. He has written, on a profound, worldwide theme, an in- comparable classic and enduring work. He shone in diplomacy as ambassador to Madrid in one of the greatest crises of our history. He is splendidly equipped for Congress, and would take front rank there. He is pure morally It is one of the mon- ster paradoxes of life that a Congress sional district, having such a man willing to be Congressman, should not honor itself by giving him a practically unani- nous call to serve his state and county at Washington.
 We agree fully with the concluding re- mark in the above extract Mr. Taylors attention has been largely given to the higher affairs of government, and his ex- perience in the foreign service of the na- tion had admirably equipped him for deal ing with the more important subjects now engaging the attention of Congress. The South has had few men of his literary &C., quirements in public life of recent years, though at an earlier perioh Henry w. Hilliard and J. L. M. Curry won distinc- tion in this line from the State of Ala bama. MT. Taylor would be fitting suc- cessor to these statesmen. His great his torical work has recently been introduced as a textbook in the University of Dublin and it had previously received the same recognition in the universities of Oxford and Edinburgh. We have recently alluded to an excellent address made by him be- fore the students of the University of Ala bama, which contains a thoughtful discus- sion of prominent topics of the present period. It is much to be hoped that Ala bama will honor itself and benefit the na- tion by sending MT. Taylor to Congress.

Periods of Abnormal Advances

"A careful review of authoritative pub iications upon the subject reveals the fact that the conditions of each of these seven periods of abnormal advantage in iron were identical in their train of events, and the advance of 1899 is exception to the rule First there was a revival of indus tries such as occurred in 1897 and 1858, during which the employment of workers was gradually, but very greatly, increased. This brought about a corresponding in- crease of earnings, amounting to thousands of millions. The earnings being largely Ill excess of the products, these surplus earn ings were used, first, in more generous indulgence in the comforts and luxuries of life then in investments in existing wealth, particularly that represented by bonds, stocks and certificates, because these are more easily transferred. This advanced se- curities to something like their real value. Later. investments were made in perman- ent improvements, such houses, fac tories railways, etc. This last brought about sudden and enormous advance in the price of pig iron, because the condi- tions surrounding it's production made it impossible to increase the supply rapidly enough to meet the demand. All the other staples could easily have been provided in quantities sufficient to have met the de- mand without abnormal advances in their price. because increased supplies are quickly available Thus, of lumber, two or three years stock is always carried, and brick stone and coal can always be ade- quateiy and quickly supplied by simply in- creasng the workers in brick yards, stone quai .ie and coal mines But of iron we have carried for the last ten years less than twenty.three days production, and it takes q year to build furnace. Conse- t,uently in each period of revival in the industries of the world, iron consumers
