COAL DEALERS INDICTED.

Chicago's special grand jury made quick work of the
coal investigation and this morning will turn into
indictments against forty odd coal Dealers wholesale and
retail for conspiracy to the coal supply.
The specific charge against the indicted is con-
spacy to restrict the supply of coal in Illinois and to
maintain set price for the commodity far above its
NAL value. 1t is also said the defendants may be pun
lshed for forestalng the market
The jury adjourned late Saturday night and it was
impossible to get the of the men indicted al

1t was declared by another member of the jury that

among the different associations which the mine oper-

BERLIN RoERsE STRONG.
Pessimistic Utterances Overcome by
Favorable Features in the Markets.

BERLIN, Jan. 18.-The boerse
showed several strong features last
week. While the market was disap-
pointed over Minister of Finance
Rheinlaben's pessimistic utterances on
the business situation, and lower esti-
mates in the Prussian budget for rail-
road supplies than were expected, VAL
ueS were generally well maintained.
The most striking feature of the week
was the recovery in the shares Of
ocean navigation companies upon the
announcement that the dividend Of the
Hamburg American Steam Packet
company would reach 4 II per cent, as
against s per cent last year, whereas
operators had expected a dividend of
only per cent. The statement issued
by the Hamburg company that the
outward freight market had greatly
improved, through heavy shipments to
the United States, also aided the re-
coyery. The foregoing announce -
mentsf carried the shares of all ocean
navigation companies up strongly.
Hamburg American gaining $40 and
North German Lloyd $50, but yester-
day a. Bremen news agency announced
that the earnings this year of the.
North German Lloyd company would
be 15,00G,000 or 100000 marks against
19,000000 marks last year, and that
the company was probably passing a
dividend owing to heavy write-off5.
The previous dividend, paid by the.
North German Lloyd was 6 per cent.
The second feature. Of the market
was the strength of coal shares, as
result of the coal scarcity in the United
States, the abolition of the coal duty
in that country and the large ship
n1ents of English coal to the United
States.
Irons barely held their own this
week, Notwithstanding the fact that
the news from the producing centers
was mostly somewhat better. Other
fndustriais, especially zines, textiles
and real estates were firm. Banks.
were moderately high. Domestic loans
were weak. Domestic threes declined
slightly, and this market was practi-
caIly without buyers, owing to the
Forthcoming new issues.
Money rose moderately the middle
Of the week, owing to demands for
the repayment of loans to the reichs-
bank and heavy offerings of American
drafts. Rates are now down, money
being very abundant, and the demand
light. Foreign exchange is accordingly
iirm, especially on London, Paris and
New York, exchange on the last men

HoBSoNS CHOICE.

Time when Hobson upon every wonan's
lips who could get him; also his name upon the
tongues of women aud not in his presence Hobson
gained, all will remember, great by taking the
hulk Merrmac into the mouth of the harbor at San
ago de Cuba, and sinking it in such position not to

ton to- sink the hulk where it would impede such egress

carried The hulk sunk in good faith, Hobson and

The bravery of Hobsons action won instant recog-
tio and he the popular hero of the hour until he
began touring the country and trying kiss all the silly
sounding smack registered drop in Hobson's popu-
larity.
3 Hobson sailed around the country for quite while
doing ecuring good deal of posing, and ended up by
complaining of defective eyesght and asking retirement
upon full part pay. Retirement refused for the
reason that the examining boards were unable to
discover physical n6res sufficient to justify the gov
eminent keeping him in dleness on pay for the re.
mainder of his life.
The prospect Of election congress was thought
tebe behind his desire for retirement too But be that

Cloth Market S+ronn

MANCHESTER, Jan. 18.-The cloth
market showed a strong tone in several
directions last week Quotations in
most quarters were mostly higher I'M
portant business has been executed
lately, and sellers are more indepen-
dent. The advance in the price Of
cotton has provoked different opinions
regarding the immediate result, some
persons maintaining it has checked
business, while others declare it has
brought business out. In some direc-
lions much buying has resulted from
necessity or panic; others are resist
ing the higher rates and prefer to
walt. Many offers were impractieable.
A good inquiry prevails, however, and
considerable business has transpfred
in all descriptions of China staples.
The Calcutta turnover improved the
demand, and the smaller outlets are
healthy.
Yarns improved on inquiry. and the
turnover was fairly satisfactory.

BERLIN. Jan. 1S.~-Among the Curl

exposition is an apparatus fer meas
uring mental fatigue. which Is widely
employed. 1t is called an aesthesio-
meter, and measures the sensftiveness
of the skin, which corresponds direct
ly to brain fatigue, the sensitigeness
diminishing as the mind wearies.
DIR. Schrader, professor at the Kaiser
Wilhelm gymnasium at Hanover, has
perfected an instrument that measures
the time elapsing in the reaction OF
the sensorium after mental exertfon.
The principle upon which it is based
is that mental work produces q fatigue
of the nerve eenters. The measure
ment Of fatigue during classroom
work generally shows that history
makes but a slight call on the mental
power. Geometry and Latin are far
more exhaustfng. During the study OF
Latin the nerve power is reduced one
