Bonds Owned at Home.
New York Post.

Probably fewer United States bonds are
owned outside of the country than those
Of any other firSt-class nation In the world.
This is largely accounted for by the TACT
that the bonds have a peculiar value to the
national banks as a basis for circulation
which raises their market price TO a point
where they cease to be desirable for ordinary
investors. TIL total of bonds held by for
eigners to-day is $50 $50. or this amount
individuals own less than &,OCO,OCO; the
rest belong to foreign insurance companies
doing business in the United States. Before
q foreign insurance company can do buSf-
ness in the United States it must deposit
with the insurance commissioner or the
particular State it seeks to invade a certain
amount of bonds registered In the name
of the insurance commissioner for the bene-
fit of the policy holders Of the company in
that State. Thus, If the Phenix Insurance
Company of London. England, desires to do
business in Ohio, Ii deposits with the In
surance commissioner an amount of bonds

the policy holders of the Phenix Insurance
Company of London, England, residing in
Ohio" OF the individual foreign holdings
of United States bonds nearly half of them
for some reason are in Cuba. Our neighbors
are doubtless attracted by the security
which the bond offers.
In earlier stages of the country's history
large blocks of It's bonds were sold abroad
were Opened In London for their transfer
and exchange. The French people to-day
are great holders of the bonds of various
other nations, but they are handling very
few Of the United States. Quite a part of
the loan made by the last Cleveland ad-
ministration went into the hands of for
eign investors at an early date in its his
tory. But with the increasing demand of

HIGHER POTATO PRICES
COMMISSION MEN SAY POTATOES

Shorter Crop This Year, but Quality
Is Better-Lower Turkey Prices
Causes No Loss to Local Dealers.

The wholesale price OF Irish potatoes will be
at 81 a bushel long before the winter is over.
This is the word given out yesterday by one Oh
the large produce houses on Commission, row.
Michigan potatoes are now worth 40 cents, ana
the homegrown product is selling at 60 cents.
All of the homegrown crop is practically con-
sumed. and the potatoes brought in from Mlchi-
gan and Wisconsin will be the leaders in the
market from now on. The Michigan potatoes are
retailing at 81 a bushei already. and some dealers
charge as much as 80 cents a peck for small
orders.
The potato crop this year Is considerably
smaller than that Of last year, which is the
cause of the anticipated advance. Prices are
steady now, and the advance will not likely
come for some time. but all indications point 10
a 25 per cent. increase in the price OF this
product not many weeks after the beginning or
the new year. leading commission men say.
Some of the Michigan potatoes received during
yesterday on Commission row were frosted.
When they were loaded on the cars they were
not packed in anticipation of the cold spell OF
the middle of the week. These potatoes are not

officials Of the Western Brokerage Company say.
There has been q decline Of 2 cents this week
in turkey prices. it is true, but all of the stock
left over from Thanksgiving can be got rid or TO
cold storage men at a price that will prevent any
loss. The price for this fowl in the East Is mold
ing steady at the 2-cent decline, and the advlces
to the local dealers from Boston and New YORK
are to the effect that indications do not favor

firm and the utlook favors an advance, or at

WHOLESALE TRADE.
The past week has been a prosperous one with
all lines of wholesale. jobbing and produce and
poultry business. The grocery jobbers and poui-
try dealers have done an especially large business
on account. of the Thanksgiving demand But
business is good in all lines, and not a single
jobber or wholesaler or produce dealer complains
of any dullness or prospects of dizziness.

MINERS WAGES REDUCED
THREE BALTIMORE COMPANIES CUT
TEN CENTS FROM RATE.
They Operate Mines in Pennsylvania,
and Advanced Wages When Coal
Trade Was Booming.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 29.-It is announced
that the Somerset Coal Company, the w.
K. Niver Coal Company and the Merchants
Coal Company, which own and operate a
number of mines in the Myersdale CPa.) re-
gion, have decided to make a reduction of
10 cents a ton in the wages paid the miners.
The cut will become effective Dec. 10 and
notices will be posted at the mines to-mor-
row.
The three companies employ upward or
$500 men, and 1t is expected that the other
smaller operators in that region will follow
with a similar reduction. 1t is said that so
far the miners nave no knowledge of the
decision reached by the companies, but the
latter do not believe they will make any
protest.
When the coal trade was booming last
the pay from So to So cents a ton. Now that
the trade Is very fiat and competition acute,
IL is considered necessary to take OF the
increase and go back to the old rate.
Officials of the three companies held sew
eral conferences here during the past week
before ii was decided TO reduce wages. The
Somerset Coal Company operates eighteen
mines in the Myersdale region and employs
over LOCO men. The W.. K. Niver Coal Com
pany employs about GOO men. 1t is said that
the reduction will not affect the scale Of
wages paid in other regions.

The New York Skin and Cancer Hospital
held its twenty-hrst annual meeting on
Friday, reviewing a year of unusual activ-
fly and service. The number of cases treat
ed has been % per cent greater than in
any previous year. Many Of the cases re-
ported were those OF wage-earners attacked
by a disngurfng disease that would soon
have made II impossible for them TO have
retained their position, but who were
speedily relieved by treatment.
Said a clerk with a face having a touch
of eczema: Doctor. can you cure me in
two Weeks?'
why in two weeks?'
Because my employer has given me Just
two weeks to get all right in. and IL nv
face ana hands look queer then, 1 lose my
place"
Shop girls. typewriters. teachers. and all
classes dependent upon their exertions for
their own support, and usually having
others dependent upon them. come to the
hospital for relief. Some Of them have
found IL difficult to get away from their
employment in the daytime, and so have
failed TO seek treatment until their dis
ease was pronounced and more difficult of
cure. To meet such cases the hospital has
opened a night clinic which is well at
tended.
The hospital has made extensive use of
the X-ray treatment. and latterly thai of
radfum- over eighteen hundred cases were
treated by the X-ray the past year.

The work on the Pennsylvania Railroads
elevated freight line across West Philadel-
phia is nearly completed, and, barring ac-
cidents and bad weather. will probably be
ready for service by the beginning of the
new year. The last Of the masonry piers
and abutments south of South street will
be completed within the next few days.
This wi enable the structural iron erectors,
who have been delayed considerably in
their work on this account, to place the
balance of the steel superstructure in place.

tically completed and the tracks are now

between the Pere Marquette and Lake
Shore whereby the former gains a through
line from Chicago to Buffalo and the Van

ton Of all the traffic handled by the Pere
Marquette to the Niagara frontier.

session of the Senate last spring the clerks
in question, who were working in a room

who's smoking that nasty cigarette?''
demanded Mr.. Lodge, peremptorily.
The guilty man afterward said that at
the time he felt like sinking through the
floor. But he managed to gasp out an
apology and made as if to throw away the
offending smoke.
"Oh, It's you, is it?' said the senator
calmly. We'll, I'll thank you to give me
one; there isn't a single cigarette in my
room!"

BettOrs' Sad Lament.

We buried them gently at dead of night,
Meath the sods very deeply we laid them
And the bettors wept as they counted their wads
And then to the wise fellows paid them!
Not a bugie was heard, not a farewell note,
As the slain to the graveyard we hurried
But somehow or other the mourners around
Looked dreadfully. fearfully. worried!
In one long trench we put Stages punters down,
With never a sigh cid we shove them.
Then we put the Purple eleven atop,
And George Gardner we laid just above them.
oh. we care not SO much for the coin that We lost.
And we will not roast or upbraid them,
But we trust they'll stay down. at least for q
time,
In the grave where the bettors have laid them.
