NEW YORK STOCK GOSSIP-Report-
ed by II; Holbert & Son: I'VE learn to-
gay that about 90 per cent of the To-
bacco stocks have been deposited. The
ponds should sell at 50, and, as express
ed to you before, both American To-
bacco preferred and Continental pre-
Ierred are attractive investments at the
prices. There is no activity in Steel
STOCKS today. 1t is pretty well under
stood here that 4 per cent will be the
rate OF dividend on the common. BuIlish
gossip continues to be circulated regard
ing southern Pacific, but it is all of al
most uncertain character. The difficulty
IN the present situation, outside of the
fact that we are in the midst of the dull
season, is no doubt due to the market
having been overbought, and certainly
we do not for the moment see induce
ments for new corners to become inter-
ested in the market, at the same time
we 90 not expect any sharp reactions"

FOREIGN Observation-Disclosures
stock market today was stagnant, except
for settlement arrangements. Quotations
were again lower. with Berlin still a free
seller. following the recent bank failures
IN Germany. These failures, largely the
result of oVer-ffnancing industrial issues,
particularly electric stocks. caused a fiat
ness in copper on a restriction in the de-
mand for the metal. Berlin offered Amer
lean stocks freely, and as London was
not buying, prices generally crumbled
away from a lack of support The con-
tango is 80 on st. Paul and Union Pacific
and on United States Steel Corpora
ton Contango on steel shares was stiff
because the trusts brokers are discour-
aging weak bulls. Money was in de-
mand, with call and future rates at 8 per
cent. The Bank of England again lent
funds heavily. The Bank of England has
bought e2C5, go gold in bars. Berlin ex-

Since the matching of an egg results from the application of heat, it makes little difference whether this heat is applied by the hen or by artificial means. It is claimed for the artificial method that the chicks can be pro- duced so as to be ready at the time when prices are best. Hence artificial incubation has come into extensive use, and as the most extensive appli- cation of these machines is in agri- cultural districts, where the kerosene lamp is the standard of illumination 1t is not surprising that this same lamp las come to be the standard source of heat. About two years ago the writer witnessed the destruction by fire of the poultry houses connected with a large New York state institution, the origin of the fire being directly trace able to an incubator lamp, and it oc- cured to him that here was another legitimate field for electricity in the heating of incubators and breeders. Since that time experiments have been carried out, and with gratifying re- sults.-Electrical World.
