Is There Planet Beyond Neptune9


This question was revived before
the Royal society of Edinburgh late
ly by Prof. George Forbes, who called
attention to the fact that there are
seven comets whose aphelion points,
according to the calculated orbits,
correspond with the position of a
planet revolving around the sun at
distance 100 times greater than that
of the earth, and having a period of
about 1000 years. He suggested that
the disturbing attraction of this sup
posed planets had altered the elements
of the orbit of the great comet seen
in 1864 and 1856 so that it did not
come back when expected in 1913.
This comet, he thought, might be
identified with the third comet OF
1874, or the second comet of 1913, its
return having been FASTENED by the
perturbation of the plapet.--Yoeth's

noston Wool Market.

Boston, lass, Jan. 31.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter says Of the wool
trade:
The wool market has been more active the
past week, and a somewhat improved feel
ing is noted in the trade Quite a number
of mills have been represented in the mar
l1et, and some fair-sized lines OF wools have
been taken. The amount of business done
considerably exceeds that OF the previous
week. and we should estimate the volume of
sales at about $500, coo pounds. These con-
sist largely of territOrials, secured, Oregon,
medium fieeces and delaine wools. Some
manufacturers express themselves. as salts
fed with the orders which they have taken
on overcoatings. Others are still running on
duplicate light weights. While prices are.
on the whole, in favor OF the buyer, there
has not been sufficient recession as yet to
justify a general lowering of quotations. In
fact, on some lines, a pretty firm feeling
prevails. This Is especially noticeable on
quarter-bl blood heeces and delaine woods, as
we'll as on secured Wools, and some sales
have been made at full quotations. The
markets in the interior are still proportion
ately higher than those at the seaboard,
though country holders will in some in
stances sell for less money than they would
have sold for month ago. The sales for
the week in Boston amounted to S,l76,OOO
pounds of domestic and 200, coo pounds Of for
eign making a total OF S.456000 pounds,
pounds of domestic and $4,000 pounds Of for
previous week. and total of 400. 600 pounds
for the corresponding week last year The
sales since jan 1 amounted to 9,615. 600
pounds, against Il. .169, 900 pounds for the cor
responding time last year.

Australia and Argentine Offering
Wheat Abroad Below Our
Figures.
WINTER WHEAT OUTLOOK GOOD
Northwestern Receipts Promise to
BECOME More Important Fac
tor From Now On.

Minneapolis Chamber OF Commerce, Jan. 81.
1t was a dull day in wheat May opened
unchanged, at 7536c, sold TO 75Ac, came pacA
to 75ssc, and stuck at that figure. LiVerpooi
was A9Ssd up but eased on and closed 7so
higher. The Price Current was out Win
general survey of a bearish tenor, saying tnat
conditions OF growing wheat continue promis-
ing and much of the area Is now protected
by snow, that marketings are becoming light
er and present available supplies appear am
pie for requirements. More depressing than
this was the news confirming previous init
nations of underselling abroad by American
competitors. Shippers who offered wneat yes
terday received replies this morning to the
effect that better values were to be had In the
Australian and Argentine offerings. North
western receipts were larger than last year.
st 1862 cars, against 314 There continued lib
eral receipts are encouragement to the
bulls About Feb. l last year receipts at
Minneapolis and Duluth began to increase,
and for time well up. While it Is prob
able that the present good sale here for MILL
ing wheat coupled with the usual tendency
TO ship in wheat a little more freely at this
time, will bring larger movement from now
on, 1t is not likely that receipts will run Up to
last year 1t is argued that the period pre-
ceding tax assessments should bring practical
demonstration as to size of country stocks.
Many traders expect run OF receipts during
February much below last year, and look to
these daily comparisons to afford a strong
factor. Chicago had a very light trade with
continued sagging Traders were reported
favoring the bear side, but operating with
extreme cautiousness. Minneapolis May eased
off gradually, and just after noon struck 75c.
Primary receipts were $4,000 bushels, against
S62, 600 Clearances wheat and -four, 2lS,OO0
bushels. Minneapolis received BAT cars and
Duluth 10, against 290 and IA last year.
The close was quiet and without feature.
May closed at 751se; July at 75s4@757kc; Janu-
ary, 741sc
In the cash wheat market conditions were
much the same with the excellent demand
continuing on good lots. There is not enough
milling wheat coming to supply the daily call,
and millers dipped into terminal stocks again
for part of their requirements. May price
was the ruling figure for No. l northern, al
though a few trades were made in selections
at Zee over. No. northern sold in large part
at 21ac under No. /. No. wheat brought
e2Q67c. good lots going at 691ac. There was
no important change in low grades. Demand
was fair. Rejected brought 64q66c for much
OF it. No grade sold from sac up to Gle for
good lots.

GAINS ARE THE RULE
Fractional Advances at the Stock
Market Opening.
BUYING OF MOBILE B. OHIO SHARES
Revival of Interest i'm Stocks Usu-
ally Obscure-Bonds Firm,
but Quiet.

New York, Jan. 31.-The execution of buy
ing orders for 2,000 shares Of Mobile G. Ohio
made 1t sell at 65G67 compared with 81 last
night, on news of the absorption of the road
by the Southern railway. The Southern rail-
way stocks were up 5s for the common and
n for the first preferred. ST. Paul gained y
and then lost it. Otherwise fractional gains
were the rule throughout the list. Steel and
Wire gained 1ss and Union Pacific point.
good demand prevailed for southern and
southwesterns and some Of the western
stocks particularly Norfolk & Western, Mis-
souri, Pacific, Kansas & Texas preferred,
Louisville and Chicago Great Western. These
properties advanced about point, and Mobile
Ohio and Southern Railway issues i'm
proved additional fractions. Some response
was made by the steel group to rise of
and 2 in Federal Steel and Steel and Wire
respectively.
ST. Paul's failure to hold its rise induced
selling of the other grangers. and Rock Island
fell to 126. The Pacifcs and industrials were
well supported.
Trading broadened out considerably, and q
notable feature was the revival of interest in
usually obscure stocks. Large blocks of these
stocks were taken at advancing prices and
some OF the Morgan issues were buoyant. Chi
cago, Indianapolis & Louisville common and
preferred rose and 10 points respectively,
and Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & st.
Louis points Inactive stocks, such as Wis
consin. Central common and preferred and
Chicago Great Western preferred .'A' gained
1G21a This specialized strength caused buy
ing Of the standard railroads, st. Paul rising
points and Burlington and the Pacifics over
point. Mobile & Ohio scared up to 69%,
and the Southern Railway stocks and Mis-
souri, Pacific continued upwards. Smelling
was prominent and advanced 25s, but lost
about half of the rise. A few weak spots
were noted, Lackawanna losing 115, Pressed
Steel Car preferred l and Alton declining IL
on realizations. There was realizing else
where under cover Of the special strength,
and at noon the market became quiet and
easier, the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville
stocks reacting 21a to points.
Buying OF Southern Pacific continued on a
very large scale, lifting the price to 49A, and
prices We're marked up all around. The
other Pacifics rose In sympathy, and the
Atehisons. Southerns and Louisville made the
best prices Of the day. There were slight
recessions here and there on pro6t- taking
but the closing generally was firm and active
Bonds were firm but quiet.

purposes the company will erect custom

or purer in the world. At the lowest
price Of tin for past ten years. this ore
will pay well. But at its price during
past two years the profits will be much
greater than those Of the best average
OF copper or gold mines.
This company is the pioneer in estab-
fishing in America the business of mining
and smelling tin. Such rapid strides have
been made by the United States in the
development of it's iron, steel, copper,
lead and zinc Industries that it now con-
trolls the market for these metals, as it
soon will for tin also.
The company using improved machin-
cry, new methods and processes con-
trolled by it, will produce refined tin of
of the very best quality without loss in
smelling, and, with the abundant supply
of ore now available, will produce pure
tin at less cost than ever. The company
will purchase tin ores under long term
contracts with mine owners generally

says: ITO the ever=recurring question, Is
there TIN in paying quantities in the

emphatic YES" Referring to Bear Gulch
where the company's property is situated,
he in part says: Il have broken speei-
mems for hours in the vain search to find
some part Of the vein that did not carry
tin. / only mention this to show how
thoroughly disseminated it is in some de-
posits, and one which recall is compar-
able for size to the great HOmestake mine,
and in my opinion is alone capable Of
employing as many men. 1t Is my opin-
ion, further, that this tin district, prop
erik worked, is capable of supplying all
the tin used in the United States, but 1t
must be worked in some such system and
scale as the Homestake or Calumet and
Hecla. Great as is the development OF
the gold mining there it will yet be ex-
ceeded by tin and iron, metals just as use
ful If not quite SO noble
The company's initial concentrating
plant at its mines Will have daily ca
pacity Of $50 tons of ore, from which
eight to ten tons Of high grade concen-
trates (55 to so per cent metallic tln) Will
be produced and shipped to its electric
smelling works to be erected at Niagara
Falls, where the electric power will be
supplied by the Nigara Falls Power Co.,
and where the company has secured
most desirable site for its plant. The

The production Of tin Is one Of the few
industries that shows steady increase in
price, a diminishing supply and an in
creasing demand.
The worlds production Of tin is stead
lily decreasing as the old mines are sunk
deeper; it was 10000 long tons less last
year than 1t was Ave years ago. The
United States consumption increased from
$4,000. 900 pounds in 1894 to 1900, 900
pounds in 1899. while the price has ad-
vanced from 1S cents in 1897 to rs cents

New York, to Watson: ''The stock mar
ing both up and down without very much
basis for its actions. The street looked
upon the failure Of the st. Paul negotiations
with regret, and anticipated an unfavorable
effect upon the remainder of the market,
but after the first half hour, or, indeed, from
the very opening to-day, excepting In just
the stocks affected by st. Paul. the market
showed wonderful strength. This, in turn
was followed by a decline, but again this
afternoon the market shows a good deal of
stability. The railroad shares have been the
prominent feature, though it Is noticeable
that the Steel and Wire stocks were much
frmer during the last of the day"
Waldorf Gossip: According to specialists
in most active stocks, the selling OF the lat
ter in to-day's market was much better
than the buying. Large interests are sup
posed to have sold holdings bought on re-
cent break. Hence, conservative sentiment
favors shorting the market whenever the
manipulatoFs bid it up. As the stock ex-
change will be closed from Friday till Mon
day, general evening up Of professional con-
tracts is looked for in the meantime. 1t is
likewise anticipated that Rock Island will
be bid up to facilitate proAt-taking in other
stocks.
