AIR USED TO CUT STONE.
Blocks of Granite Carved With Pneu-
matte Tools.

An industry in which pneumatic tools
bid fair 10 effect a revolution is the
working of granite. Up till a few
years ago the granite tombstones which
are to be seen In every cemetery, and
the deliberately carved granite blocks
which are now so popular for the fronts
OF banks and public houses. were dressed
by hand with a hammer and chisel in
much the same way as we may suppose
the Egyptians carved the Sphinx. Now
a Jet Of air is doing the mason's work,
and instead of expanding much time and
muscle on his task. the workman has
simply to guide the pneumatic chisel
over the surface of the stone
The saving IN manual labor is very
great. The work is done more rapidly
and more cheaply by these tools than
by hand. and. 1t might also be said
more efficiently. for a pneumatic chisel
can be operated in recesses and out-of-
the-way places in which there would
not be room to strike a blow with an
ordinary hammer. Aberdeen is the cen
ter OF the granite industry in this coun-
try. and there is no granite-working es-
adjustment there OF any consequence
which has not an equipment of pneu-
matte tools. The heart of a pneumatic
plant is the compressor, or pump, which
forces the air into a large tank or reser-
voir. From this central point the air
Is conveyed IN pipes 10 al paTiS OF the
works, and the connection with the
actual tool is made with a length Of
india rubber hose. so that the workman
can move the apparatus from place to
place.
Where a workman would have had n
hammer and q chisel I'm his hands. now
he has a pneumatic chisel, and he has
simply 20 direct IL in the required posi-
ton. The number of blows that a tool
like this strikes Is marvellous. The Jet
Of compressed air operates a piston, to
which either a hammer or a chisel can
be attached, and the admission of the
air can be so regulated bySvalves as 20
give anything from 1000 10 $4,000 strokes
a minute.
AS might be supposed, the vibration
caused by such rapid movement as
this is very great A visitor TO a gran
tie yard is generally given one OF these
pneumatic tools 70 hold, and unless he
grips IL tight it is APP TO jump out of
hiss hand. One would think that the
constant use of such tools would injure
the workman's arms and lead to cramp.
So far. however there have been NO in
stances OF this.-The Sphere

Apropos Of the prevailing public leth-
argy, II way be said that there are those
in Wall Street who are not so altogether
hopeless OF getting the public mat the
right time-as are the present despair
ing ones. BY these more hopeful indi-
viduals IL is pointed out that the public
never does come in in duh market;
that It is only a rising market that at
tracts the average outsider. when, g"
says one of these hopeful ones. the
psychological moment arrives 10 put The
market up and attract the public it will

to recollect that no big movement ever

Apart from the developments in the
shipping combine expected to follow
upon Mr.. Morgan's arrival here today,
the street looks for other and,
so far as the stock market is concerned,
more interesting developments. Reason
for this is found in the limitations
from some well-intormed people that
shortly before his departure from Eu-
rope Mr.. Morgan had expressed 10 his
friends both here and abroad the opin-
ion that In some parts OF the list at
least prices were too low and ought 20
be and would be better. Hence the be-
lief that his presence here may be the
signal for an upward movement In some
departments of the market. and more
especially IN the so-called Morgan

1t is the opinion and the testimony cf
shrewd market observers that through
the steady absorption OF stocks by in
vestors IN the past few months the float
ing supply of good securities has been
very materially reduced-much more SO
than is suggested by the backing and
filling of the market resulting from pro-
fessional operations One banker yes
terday declared that in his judgment
legitimate order for 5000 shares each of
ST. Paul, Union Pacific, Baltimore and
Ohio. or, in the Industrial group, Copper,
would disclose so little real stock avail
able that in each case a substantial rise
would result-unless, indeed, some bear
or short seller offered stock which ne
expected or hoped he might later re-
cover at a lower level. The fact. how
ever, that the shorts are much less
courageous than lately they were is pre-
sumptive evidence that recognition Of
the scanty supply of real stock is dawn
ing upon them.

The annual report of the American

company has published it's net earnings
for the ten months ended February %.
during which period they amounted 10

for the corresponding ten months in the
preceding year. Assuming that the last
two months of the year equaled the av-
erage monthly earnings of the ten
months. the total net earnings for the
fiscal year ended April 30 would be ap-
proximately $1,000 600, which would
compare with s4.2s5. COL in 1902 and s4.-

II Is not likely that stock quotations
will remain under their investment
worth for any length OF time, but. of
course. the question may naturally arise
as to whether or not prices are now
under their real investment value. There
doubtless are a number of stocks that
may reasonably be considered under
their intrinsic worth. while there are
also issues which are still above their
investment value In the Industrial list
there are many sound issues which are
certainly selling for much less than they
are actually worth, and whenever a -e-
adjustment of prices in a higher direc-
ton develops this class of investments
ought to move toward advanced range.

ing railroad issues market prices are
now at a level which returns from Az
to 515 per cent, and in view of the price

theory that a per cent return on an

pected by conservative investors. IL
would seem that railroad stocks as a
rule are cheap at the prevailing range
OF quotations. In periods like the pres
ent. however. when powerful specula-
tive interests are engaged in a campaign
that has for its object lower market
values. II is not safe to count on the

Some of the leading bear traders are
understood to advocate an advance on
which to put out stocks. II is the
science of bearish operations to sell
stocks first and depress prices after
ward The market has been so narrow
Tor several days that even short stocks
could not be sold to advantage. On
Monday a prominent trader observed:
You couldn't put out a 10.000-share
line OF shorts in that market without
Strengthening 1t badly" The opinion ex-
pressed last night in bearish quarters
was that an advance would be sold In
dustriously by the bear crowd. The
idea that the bear party is thus waiting
for an opportunity to put out stocks in
wolves the assumption that the large
short interest which lately existed has
been covered. This is generally be-
lieved. indeed, TO be the case. and the
fact that it was covered without Sc
