' : BROOKLYN WAREHOUSE BONDS

Hartford Holders Watching the Alp | proach of February l.
 There are many of the first mortgage bonds of the Brooklyn Wharf and Warehouse company held in this city and a very large number in Hartford. | The Hartford Courant, speaking of the
 severe drop in the price of these bonds, says
 The insurance companies have over $1, 900 of them, and there are many others held by individuals and charlta- ble corporations, etc. It has been estl- mated that the total amount in Hart ford is between $3,000,000 and $4,OO0,0OO.
 The bonds were marketed at 105 and last week they sold at 70. They have never defaulted their interest, but 1t Is generally believed that this time the coupons will not be paid. The price of the bonds is evidence that somebody looks for trouble.
 When the company was organized reputable and prominent business men of Brooklyn valued the properties cov- cred by the mortgage at $31, ,00O, while the total amount of the bonds is $17 ,500,000. Being mortgages on improv- ing real estate in New York, and hav- ing the approval of slrch men as the eminent appraisers the bonds were re- garded as especially choice investments and were picked up for widows and or phans and trust funds. A rumor from New York Is that the present manage ment, under whom the shrinkage has come about, will undertake to "reor- gahize" and continue themselves in con- trol. But bond holders realize that not very long ago the preferred stock re- ceived a dividend and they fear an ef- fort to save the stock by reducing the interest on the bonds, which are enti- tied to full interest before the stock hae a right to dollar. Something may hap pen before long.

 1 Concerning the International Silver l company the firm of Kimberly, Root &s l Day, this city, yesterday received through their New York connections
 the following:
 We understand that the annual re- port of the International Silver com pany will show net earnings for the year of about $750,OOo It requires about $250,0OO to pay interest charges and $S50,O00 to afford per cent. on the preferred stock outstanding. This leaves something over I$2oo,ooo for s11.- 100000 of common stock or about 2 per cent. During the year the company has paid all organization expenses and has charged literally for depreciation and shrinkages of various sorts A consid- erable portion of these expenses have been of kind that will not recur in the current year. The company will save quite sum in the year to come by the expiration of leases which have had to be provided for in the past year, even where the property has not been used. It Is believed the saving on this account will be about $100,000.

A TRIP TO THE MOON.
Lecture by Garrett P. ServisS-In Con- nection With University Extension

Lecture by Garrett P. Serviss-In Con- nection With University Extension Center.
 The course of lectures on astronomy by the famous astronomer Garrett P. Serviss, has been deservedly popular with the members of the University Extension Center and host of others. The lecturer delivered the third of the course in Warner hall last evening to a large and interesting audience. The subject, "A Trip to the Moon,' was both scientifically and humorously treated, was illustrated throughout by large number of beautiful stereoptl- con pictures, and altogether made a most enjoyable trip" Anything re- lating to our nearest neighbors in space, even though she be cold and icy by nature and manner has more or less fascination for all of us. She Is the earth's satilite, held by Darwin to be an earth-child, with just possibility of one day coming home again to It's mother The language pictures or the hills and valleys of the moon, the vol canoes and ocean beds, the deserts or fire and ice were all drawn by master of both science and art.
 All the wonders of this neighbor Of ours, this dead planet with no atmos- phere were vividly described. The lecturer closed with the conjecture and possibility that the moon may have been inhabited, and how it now serves as both a chronicle and a prophecy for tho earth
