Made Artificial Markets.

The explanation leads back 20 the
fact. now well known here, that the sud
den rise Of some Of the German cleo
trica1 companies into corporations of
vast resources and activities was. IN
some cases at least. the result Of skill
ful and artificial creation CT markets for
products. rather than the supply OF an
actual and legitimate demand Con-
eisely stated. some CT these companies
bought their orders for electrical in
stallatiOns and materials by financial
operations that left them shareholders
il many enterr rises which have since
proved less promptly lucrative than had
been hoped. and have thus drawn more
or less heavily upon the capital Of the
parent COMPANIES.
ITO understand how all this came
about, it should be remembered that
German progress in electrical science
was for long time far in advance of
popular appreciation Of its advantages.
The companies organized and equipped
for the Manufacture Of lighting and
power plants could not wait for the slow
growth OF public demand for such i'm
pTOTements and they therefore under
took to finance and erect such instsIa-
tons themselves, confident that. once es-
ISbHshed and n use, the public would
not tail TO appreciate them and invest
IN their securities.
This went very well for time. It
created a large and ready market FOR
electrical m.schineTy and materials al
high prices. and Supplied hesitatfng
municipalities with electric tramways and
lighting plants which :beir citizens
greatly enjoyed, but which were built
and for time managed By the electrical
manufacturing companies at their own
expense.
Inevitably, this process Of consum-
ing their own capital necessitated heavy
loans and frequent increases in the
stock OF such corporations. together with
a steady expansion Of their mauufac-
turing caDacify

GENERAL MATos WILL WIN. It Is Believed President Castro's Army
 Will Be Defeated.

Willemstad. Curacoa, October 2.-Presi- dent Castro of Venezuela, after leaving Valencia September 15 at the head of an army of 5000 men with seventeen guns with the announced intention of attack ing the insurgent forces at Cocuyito, commanded by General Mendoza, reached San Juan de los Moros, near Villa de Cura, believing that Mendoza was there. The president found only 1900 local guer- rilas at that place, and after a sharp fight the latter were routed. The govern ment incorrectly announced this engage ment as being a victory over Mendoza s army, whereas that general is near San Sebastian ready to effect a juncture with the forces of General Mates.
 The final success of General Mates Is believed in Venezuela to be certain, and as a result all securities on the bourse at Caracas are rising.
 The Venezuelan government recently refused to grant the request of a delega- ton from the inhabitants of Barquisi- meto who wished to obtain permission to introduce provisions into the town through Tucacas, the only available port. The misery at Barquisimeto is almost in describable. The inhabitants have been without provisions from the outside for forty-five days. Cases of yellow fever and typhus have been reported there.

FREE RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.
First Service Out of Montgomery Was
 Inaugurated Yesterday.

Montgomery, October 2.-(SpeciaL)-The first rural free mail delivery service out of Montgomery was inaugurated yester- day when four carriers made their initial trips. The slowness of the department in starting up the service here is due to the fact that beyond the suburbs of the city itself the population is nearly all col- ored and gets but little mail at best The routes run out some twelve to fifteen miles, most of the way through a land of large plantations and negro cabins.
 It is claimed that the facility for get ting mail soon encourages the negro to become a great letter writer, and also prompts him to subscribe for the news paper. Two of the new carriers are white and one colored, the last named be- ing a negro named Frank Todd, who has been one of the janitors at the state capi- tol for six years and who is, in his way, extremely popular among the public men of the state.

 Before Creseeus was sent on his exhi- bition mile he was brought on the track alongside of Dan Patch, the king of pa- cers, and the two went a half mile to- gether amid wild cheering from the spec tators.
