REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York. April 7.-Speculative currents
and countercurrents swirled and eddied in
Wall street last week. Caught in the IRE
sistible tide, stocks were rushed onward
and upward to new high levels, which in
numerous instances were maintained to the
last. Others rrceded with the back flow or
drifted admlessly In the slack water OF neg
lect. 1t was evident that two forces were
at work In the market.
Four days only constituted Wall streets
last speculative week, but what a four days
it was for those actively engaged in the
greatest game of chance ever witnessed in
this country!
The week comprised but twenty hours Of
trading, and yet the aggregate of transac-
tions in stocks alone ran up to 7,176.s25
shares. or an average for each hour Of the
twenty of 25s,S41. During each minute Of
Wall streets business week $3.50 shares of
stock changed hands-a record unprecedent-
ed in the history of the exchange. If prece-
dents and past experiences counted for any
thing at the present time there would be
found In such market as Wall street pre-
sented last week many Of the signs that
point to a reaction. Such was the belief Of
the professional trading element one week
the wild uprise Of prices on the preceding
Saturday the signal for the long expected
break.
Remarkable Strength Of Steel Stocks.
Entering the market on Monday with
minds made up to take profits and put out
short lines, Spectators were confronted
with simply terrific buying in the United
States Steel stocks, which carried these
issues up. despite the heavy selling of
Street and Norton, who disposed of 103 600
shares Of the preferred on the buying move
ment. Liquidation and profit taking there
were to be sure on Monday. but the
strength Of all the steel issues on that day
saved the market for still more remark
able developments later in the week.
1t Is unnecessary to enumerate the spe-
ctal features of each day. but as an illus
tration Of the shifting of interest 1t may be
said that United States Steel, the speciality
Of Monday. was permitted to drop into a
subordinate position on the succeeding day
and apparently strong. So the game went
along from day to day, with enormous ac-
tivity and phenomenal advances, at one
time in Rock Island. again in Burlington
then in St Paul and Delaware and Hud-
son, and finally, on Thursday, In a remafk-
able movement which included New York
Central. Pennsylvania. Amalgamated Cop
per and Illinois Central.
With the final movement Of Thursday in
of speculative turbulency in which there
was no actual news development worthy Of
the name touching any Of the properties
which were made active, and which brought
forth several danger signals Among the
latter. which figure n NdA issues and were

Utilization of Cadmium Promises
to Accomplish Marvels in
Transportation.
FOREIGN PATENTS OBTAINED.
Wizard Purposes to Reap the Ben
efits From Solution of the Prob
lem Which Defied All
Other Electricians.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York, April 7.-Thomas A. Ellison
has obtained patents in England for his
new storage battery. the first details OF
which are here given. r. utilizing cad
MUM, a metal hitherto little known. the
wizard Of MEMO Park has soled n puzzle
which has for years defied electricians.
The new batteries will weigh only half as
much as those now in use and will last ten
times as long. The new storage battery
seems to do away with all the disadvan-
tages of the system now in use. For In
stance, batteries of the type employed on
the street cars, while doing the work. are
heavy, because of the great amount Of
fluid-sulphuric acid ard water-that Is re-
uuired. are subject to deterioration by
chemical action. and. for some reason not
clearly understood, cannot be taxed for
more than 40 per cent of the energy they
contain, without running the battery.
Edison does away with much Of the fluid.
For the lead heretofore used Edison has
substituted plates of cadmium and copper.
The copper Is pulveriZed as fine as flour
and then compressed only enough to give 1t
sufficient consistency to prevent its crumb-
ling.
Cadmium Not n Rare Metal.
Cadmium is not a particularly rare metal.
though 1t has not been in general use. 1t
purpose was discovered by Edison through
no chance. He went the whole gamut Of
metals until he found the one that would
answer the purpose.
Between the plates of cadmium and cop
rer Edison places thin sheets of asbestos.
mostened with the electrolyte-the liquid
employed in batteries to produce the chem
ical action required. In these batteries is
n 10 per cent solution of caustic soda. Only
a very little liquid Is required as against
The great quantity of the old style storage
batteries
Absolute purity of materials, which is diff
ficult to obtain, is imperative in the new
Edison batteries. This difficulty the cleo
preserved the invention to the great wizard
even without the projection Of his patents.
Edison himself believes the new battery
to be about the biggest thing that has en-
anated from his laboratory since the tncan-
descent electric light. and this time he in
tends to reap the benefit Of 1t.
Companies are falling over each other to
obtain the sole agency OF the new battery.
which the electrical experts gay will revolu-
tionize electric power, but Edison has re-
fused to dispose OF his new patents, believ-
ing that he can do better by selling storage
batteries to those who need them than by
selling the exclusive right to any corpora
