that the weight OF the brickwork built
nigh above the surface of the ground would
not sink 1t, and the last of the descent was
accomplished by loading the top of the fin

pounds of rails piled on in overhanging
crossed layers.
Canal Twenty-Eight Miles Long.
One OF the most important interesting
and remarkable engineering feats on this
continent was the construction of the Chi
cago drainage canal, a canal twenty-eight
miles long, dug at an expense of over $780,

from the lake, to flow short distance up
stream and then through the canal into the
Despiaines river, and thence to the Gulf
Of Mexico. The canal is cut to a depth Of
twenty-five feet below the water level, and
for several miles through the prairie Is
nearly 800 feet wide on top, and required

terval between the trains was selected, the
ends of the old span chopped away, the
lashings between the new and temporary
spans removed, and then the nuts on the
great screws were Stacked off by gears op-
Grated by steam engine at each end, and
both spans were lowered smoothly and
safely together, about twenty-five feet, in
less than an hour; the old one dropping
down almost to the waters edge and the
new one following to occupy its former
place and rest on masonry seats which were
prepared meantime A few minutes later
trains were running across the new span,
the old one was removed at leisure and the
overhead span was rolled along until it's
towers rested above the next piers another
span was replaced, and so on, until the
whole superstructure had been replaced
with about 1,G00.000 pounds of steel. 1t
took thirty-four men only eighty days to
rebuild the bridge.
Expensive and Difficult.
The difficulty and expense of building
solid foundations for a bridge where the
water is very deep or swift or the bottom
unstable is very great. In soft soils the
utmost effort is made to preYent any dam
ger of settlement or of undermining by
floods and swift current. and where piles
are not used it is generally necessary to
carry the masonry down to solid rock or to
a safe distance in earth and sand This is
always very difficult on account of the tre-
a great depth and the danger of working
there even when it is possible to exclude
the water. In this country cribs or cais-
sons are often sunk by mechanical proc
esses or by men working in pneumatic
pressure and then are filed with concrete
In India, where the soft alluvial soil ex-
tends to a great depth and is saturated
with water and will flow like mud, they
make it support heavy foundations partly
by it's sickness. For many years they
have built hollow cylindrical brick piers
from 90 to 100 feet deep, which hold heavy
loads chiefly by the friction on their Sides
Originally these hollow piers, few feet in
diameter, Were built up on wooden rings
laid on the ground in the bottom of pits
dug down to water level. A native diver
went inside and dug up the bottom with an
adZe-like tool, laboriously undermining the
walls. so that they gradually settled few
inches a week as the tops We're built on
high above the surface of the ground. Aft
erward the excavation was done by dippers
attached to long poles and sometimes by
buckets with valves in the bottom Re
Gently large pier foundations for railroad
bridges have been made with two or three
brick cylinders twelve or fifteen feet in di-
ameter, which were shod with circular iron
girders having sharp, cutting edges. and a

Steam dredging machines were set on top
of the piers. and undermining the shoes al

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, July 19.-Forrer buyers OF
stocks attempted to take profits this
morning and found q poor market for
the purpose, with the result that prices
were carried generally below last night s
level in the course of the first hours
trading. The market, however, con-
tinued to show breadth and variety and
the pressure to sell promptly relaxed at
the lower level of prices A favorable
bank statement was expected. but the
exhibit of the clearing house institu-
lions proved more favorable than had
been anticipated and resulted in an effec-
tive rally in prices. The realizing was
renewed at the advance and the closing
was active and easy. Probably the re-
ports Of yesterdays heavy rains and
floods in the Western States aroused
some misgivings over the results to
grain. There were fractional advances
amongst the Changers and Southwesterns
nevertheless. Pennsylvania was the
feature of the market on very large deal
ings and rose above 100, closing at that
figure. Official denials of yesterday
persistent reports that control of Read
ing had been secured did not hurt the
stock, but its subsidiary stocks, Ches-
apeake and Ohio and Norfolk and Wes-
tern, suffered from realizing, the form
er falling at one time IL under last
night. There were strong spots through
the market, including Hooking Valley,
Western Union and some of the
public utilities of this and other
cities. The increase in banking
reserves IVES not as large as expected.
Last weeks decrease was much smaller
than expected, SO that today's figures
probably represent an adjustment under
the average system. The decrease Ia
loans, considering the active speculation
was not looked for The diminished re-
serve requirements thus effected helped

day for squeezing shorts in the oats pit
New July standard oats were excitedly
bid up ~ to IS cents, the highest price
since 1874. Aside from the large short
line that is held by one of the leading
professionals, the principal cause of the
erratic gyrations displayed by oat prices
today was that of ruined harvest fields

New Orleans, July 19.7The feature of
interest in the spot cotton market to-
day was the sale on private terms of
the famous ''three crops" list of long
staple cotton. Nearly 5000 bales, it is
understood, the entire lot, will be ship
ped to Liverpool.

nervousness on the part of July shorts.
and that position sold up to points.
August advanced 2 points and the later
months lost a point as compared with
last evenings close. After the call fall
months were stronger and gained 8 TO
points only to lose their advance again.
At the close of the half day session COM
parison of prices with yesterdays final

gained one point and the later positions
showed losses of 1 to points. Only
moderate business was done.

New York, July 19.-The dry goods

, New York, July 19.-The cotton market
opened steady with prices unchanged to

was disposed to work upward on re-
sumption of demand from near month
shorts who appeared to be more appre-
hensive than ever of squeeze" in the
July and August. Europe and the South
were again, so far as could be learned,
buyers of the near options, including
September. Commission houses sold the
new crop options at the advance, basing
their views on further fine weather re-
ports and crop advices from nearly every
section of the belt. The official fore
cast pointed to showers and thunder
storms today and tomorrow pretty much
in every State of the cotton raising
country, and it was seen that the rains
which first appeared in the central wheat
belt Thursday were spreading south
ward. On the first wave of buying July
climbed to SIS, August to $50 and Sep
TENDER to S.21. Speculation was not ac-
tive, though more far-reaching than in
some time past. The dry goods and cot
ton goods market reports were more
cheering. better demand being noted
with prices tending slowly upward
Later in the morning a grain house, New
Orleans and spot cotton interests bid
September up to S22, which did much
to alarm the shorts.
