feature in the last week, and it is generally under
stood that Erie shares will be leaders in the mar

FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONDITIONS.

C. Schumacher & Co. say in their weekly review
of the foreign exchange market:
The conditions which caused last weeks advance
of exchange existed to even greater degree dur
ing the present week and resulted in a further
advance of 9sq%4 cent in the pound in demand
4q5-16 per cent in short francs all mostly owing
the fact that the maturitieS of bills drawn
during the summer and due at about this time
far in of the receipts of commercial
particularly cotton bills. which we may receive
from now on. depends all the future of our mar
ket. The forward movement of cotton only really
begun about two weeks ago. then came TO a
stop during the first few days of this week TO be
resumed again now-toO late, however to do much
good under present strained conditions. This
again shows what an important place cotton
exports still occupy in national economy
Had they been normal basis as TO time and
amount, there would have been exchange enough
to cover all the maturities of the last fortnight
ports from abroad had begun. The delay in
the export movement caused our foreign maturi-
ties to overtake the supply causing an advance
of "a per cent in exchange at a time when under
normal conditions it should be at the lowest of
the year. With the present high figures the profit
on which our banks and bankers had Calculated
when drawing their sixty and ninety day bills
during the summer months, is nearly wiped out
Rather than close the operations at a loss many
are renewing them in the hope of a lower
market later in the season. The same abnormal
also to some extent IN the leading European counl
tries, nasmuch the price Of sterling on the
Continent of Europe is abnormally low.

He was not even glib ot speech, and so far as any mou could judge he was about the last of mortal creatures to engage the interest ot any woman.

 The Falls of Glomen, in Norway, are Sto be utilized for the operation of an electric generating plant almost as large as the one at Niagara.
 Electric energy from wind has been successfully obtained in both England and Germany, but it is in the latter country that it has been actually put into use. M. G. Couz, of Ham burg used a windmill with a regulator which would keep it's speed constant no matter what the speed of the wind was, and succeeded so well that there is a strong probability that it will be used in small villages in Germany and supply electric light and power at 5 low cost.
