The Financier says: Such a bank ex-

may be expected to have a marked in
fluence on the market for money in the
current week, and this too, despite the
preparations by the clearing house com
mittee for ameliorating the force of the
shock to the monetary situation caused by
the attempt on the life of President Nc
Kinley. 1t may be observed, however, that
whatever monetary tension may incident
ally result from the consequence of the
attack upon the President and from the
surprising disclosures of conditions as re-
CARDS reserve shown by the bank state
ment will most likely be measurably re-
lieVed through imports of gold from Eu-
rope, unless, indeed, the banks of England
and of France should seek, either through
an advance in their official rates of dis
count or by placing a high premium on the
metal. TO prevent movement of gold
should our demands for relief become
urgent, which condition would be reflect
ed in extremely high rates for money at
New York, this tension would most likely
be sufficient to cOunteract the efforts by
these foreign banks to retard the move

measures of relief to the situation, such
the liquidation of loans and, If neceS-

ticeable, the low price level being due to
causes chiefly local. Wheat closed sc,
corn nc and oats ssc lower for December
delivery. Provisions closed but slightly
changed.
The usual disposition TO do as little trad
ing as possible pending the Sunday holiday
was noticeable in the wheat pit. The
opening was easy December &c 10 nc low
er at 7OSsc to 705sc, under the influence Of
liberal Northwest receipts and lower

Favorable weather conditions Induced
selling of corn throughout the curtailed
Saturday session. Private crop reports
were bullish, but the liquidation was too
forceful TO allow of more than temporary
shows OF firmness. There was moderate
cash demand and somewhat Iree country
acceptances. The only effect OF the. Presi-
dents condition on the market was selling
for Eastern interests. December sold be-
tween 57Ssc and $3.50, and closed &c lower

There was fair demand for provisions
led by packers. The selling pressure was
quite heavy at one time, in sympathy with
hogs but the tide was stemmed by local
support, and the close, while slightly lower
on the average, was fairly steady. Pork

Refining
Petroleum

The development OF our manufac-
lures in the past decade Is as inter-
esting as our growth in population.
The information on this subject, col
'lected for the twelfth census, is just
beginning to be distributed. For the
next two years or so the results OF
these Investigations will be continual
ly coming from the census ONCE. The
third bulletin on the manufacturing
industries relates to the refining OF
petroleum The fact is we'll known
that while we sell larger value OF
some other commodities to the rest of
the world our refined petroleum has a
wider distribution than any other
commodity we sell, for 1t Is sent to
nearly every corner of the earth.
One of the most striking facts in this
report is that to produce refined pc
troleum in 1899 to the value of $123.-
929,3s4 raw materials to the value Of
$102,S59,341 were consumed. The diff
ference between these amounts by
no means represents the profits OF the
industry, for no account Is made OF
interest on the capital invested, the
cost of selling products or other
charges. 1t is evident that the differ
ence in value between the raw ma
terial and the finished product is much
smaller than is common In Industries
of more complicated character. The
report also shows that we sell to for
elgn lands larger proportion OF the
refined petroleum we produce than OF
any other commodity we turn out. or
the 42,234.664 barrels OF refined Pc
troleum produced in 1899 not less than
1856, ,8O9, or nearly 40 per cent, were
exported to foreign markets. 1t is also
interesting to note that the cost of
crude petroleum has been increasing.
while at the same time the price OF
refined petroleum has been decreasing.
The value of the crude oil used in 1880
was little less than 81 barrel; in
1889 it was worth $1.46 a barrel, and
in 1899 it was worth $155 barrel.
But in 1899 the value of the refined
products. and particularly of illumi-
mating oils. was generally lower. This
shows that the large economies intro
duced into the business, such as pipe
lines, and so on, have made 1t possible
to sell the manufactures from crude
oil at lower prices than formerly.
though the cost of the raw material
has advanced. The process OF CONSOLE
dating the interests of this industry
under one management has gone on
during the past decade. as is shown by

the fact that while the value of the
products has increased 45.S per cent.
and the number of the wage earners
has increased 9.6 per cent there has
been q decrease in the number Of re-
fineries. In 1899 there were sixty
seven refineries In operation. While
there were ninety-four in 1889. The
average value OF plant. together with
the live or working capital. In 1881
was $3l7.741; in 1889 it was $s23.57
and in 1899 1t was $1,422,SO4, a rise
showing clearly the effect Of the con-
solicitations made in recent years. Mr..
Rockefeller said while ago that the
mineral oil interests OF the country
employed first class labor and paid the
best of wages. The report now pub
lished shows that wages have substan-
TALLY advanced In the past ten years.
While the total number of wage earn
ers has increased only 9.6 per cent. the
total wages have increased 1853 per
cent. There is good deal to be said In
praise OF an industry that turns out the
best products of the sort, pays labor
the highest market prices and sells Its
output low enough to compete with
rivals in all parts of the world.-New
York Sun.
The Springfield herald., 1901-05-24

1t is stated that the statesmen OF
the fowery kingdom are considering
tic advisability of altering the Chinese
law which requires Mongolians to wear
cues. The Chinese, it is said, wore
their hair American fashion some 300
years ago. at which time they likewise
wore garments similar to those in use
in this country today. With new
emperor came an alteration in the
two fashions, and ever since cues and
blouses have been quite the proper
thing.
Now there is great agitation for a
change back to the old style. The Chi
nese are of a practical turn of mind
and say that too much time is requir-
ed to dress their long braids. There is
considerable objection to the style now
in vogue, and so persistent for a
change has become the demand that 1t
is likely the law establishing the style
of headdress will be altered. 1t is
stated that the Chinese will not wear
their hair long, but that their heads
will be kept shaven.

RedeenninG
MOney...

There was received at the redemp.
ton division OF the treasury recently
an envelopA containing a mass of
greenish paper, dried and hard, but
showing evidence OF having once been
water-soaked. The letter accompany.
ing explained that the substance had
once been money. and that 1t had been
found among the debris left by the
storm at Galveston, Tex. 1t was Of
fered for redemption There was un-
doubtedly much money destroyed in
the Galveston storm, but comparative
ly little of 1t has been recovered. A
half-dozen or more installments have
been received, but in all'it has amount
ed to but few hundred dollars. Some
of that sent In had been found in the
pockets of clothing worn by victims Of
the storm. Most of it was in fair
shape, and the senders received the
full amount in crisp, new bills. Tho
man who recovered the last !ot re-
ceived, however, was less fortunate.
1t was turned over to E. A. Brown, the
treasury expert on mutilated money.
who soaked the mass and picked 1t
apart, discovering at once that 1t was
composed of worthless confederate
bills. Mrs. Brown and her assistant,
Miss Elizabeth D. Smith, have to deal
with money under many queer condi-
tions. 1t comes to them burned until
only fragments OF charred paper are
left, rotted and mildewed, gnawed by
mice. eaten and discolored by acids.
and In thousand other forms. Their
knowledge OF money is reduced to a
science. BY glance at mere frag-
ment OF bill they are able to tell
from Its "geography"-by which is
meant the particular style OF engrav-
ing-the year OF Its issue and the de-
nomination OF the note OF which 1t is
a part. A case Mrs. Brown now has
in hand called forth all her ingenuity.
The Moravian National bank OF Morn
via, N Y, sent a package of money
that had been burned until only black
and shriveled paper remained. The
burned bills were supposed to amount
to $125 Mrs. Brown was able to iden-
tify more than 500. and as there re-
mained a considerable amount Of the
charred paper which had been crushed
until 1t was unrecognizable, the full
amount will be paid upon an affidavit
from the bank that the sum stated was
destroyed. A couple Of weeks ago a
roll Of burned money was received
from a small town in Virginia. The
sender explained in his letter that the
money belonged to an aged woman
who had been saving it to pay her
funeral expenses. Her house caught
