for blcy clee and cerlai, other vehicles.
ln certain sections, prescribed by or

RADIUM NINE FOUND.
CarnoIite Holds the Rare Element
An Important Discovery.

New York Press.
From Princeton University comes the an
nouncement that the rare element in the
mineral kingdom known radium, the
quoted price Of which is s., 72l, 900 a pound,
has been discovered TO exist in ''carnolite."
a newly discovered ore in Utah. The dis
covery was made by Prof Alexander Ham,
ilton Phillips. assistant professor of min
eralogy, who found IL possible TO obtain
from twenty-five pounds OF carnolite a
sample or radium that shows about 800
activity, as compared with 700 activity in
the elements obtained from European ores
This, being little less than one-sixth in
activity. makes a corresponding reduction
in price. that the Utah radium can be
had for the present at the bargain counter
figure OF $4,000 a pound.
a company has been formed 10 place the
new product on the market and IL Is be-
lieved the selling price may be shaded down
to something less than $4,000, which the
scientific world viii regard as dirt cheap.
Professor Phillips's discovery Is looked
upon OF great importance, inasmuch as
IL is corrObOratiVe or the disputed asser-
ton that radium did not exist in the min
eraI deposits of this country The FIRST dis
covery In the great Northwest belt was be-
Titled by foreign scientists, but the i'm
dustry of Professor Phillips has settled be-
yond doubt that the western hemisphere
can catch up with the old world when IL
comes down TO painstaking scientific
Ii was only last June that two OF the
younger professors Of Yale discovered a
powerful radio-activity in spring water but
the quantity OF tudAtfldl HADcAdHAt WHICH
could be separated was so infiniteslmal that
the market price would be run up 70 81, Co.,
600 or 900 a pound.
The radium thus far discovered in North
America has been pronounced by scientists
in England as worthless as compared with
the element found I'm Germany and Hun
GEOGRAPHICALLY in Hungary. Curie a
Frenchman. was the first 70 bring II 10 the
attention OF the scientific world. and SO diff
ficult was its production that the price ac-
tually was quoted at Sl.000.000 an ounce
Then. as methods Of production were inn
proved. the price fell gradually. The
achievement OF the Princeton professor will
be regarded with interest throughout the
United States and Europe, and I'm all prob
ability will mark an epoch In scientific dis
covery.
The first sample Of radium placed on pub
lie exhibition in this country was presented
10 the American Museum OF Natural His
tory in last September by Edward ID. Ad-
ans. The quantity was minute-less than
two grains. IL was contained IN a vial and
when taken into a dark room gave forth "A
faint glow. The mystery OF the substance.
which has not been fathOmed, is that its
powers Of light and heat appear 20 be per
petual. IL has been asserted by Professor
Gratacap that a grain OF radium will con-
tinue To glow and give out heat energy Tor
5000 years.

the official statement of the New York Asso-
ciated Banks this week was the increase of
s13522 800 in loans. This was notable, chiefly
because of the fact that loan expansion in the
last weeks of the year is quite unusual. banks
generally being in condition to extend liberal
accommodation to borrowers until after the turn
of the year. The excellent reserve condi-
ton of the institutions the previous week and
the accumulation Of funds in the banks in an
ticipation of the disbursement of interest and
dividends Immediately after the beginning Of
the year doubtless encouraged liberal lending,
which will account for the above-noted in
crease.
'Cash reserves increased the net amount of
$685. 500 the specie gain being SS,264S0O, while
the legal-tender loss was S307. 900. The increase
in specie largely reflected payments for imported
gold during the week. The deposits aug
mented Sl7.634.7OO. OF s1l54 800 in excess of the
total of the gain in loans and cash. Hence,
the statement showed a good balance. The re-
quired reserve was increased, through the hgh-
deposits, by 81. 4OS, 675.

good, although the weights are irregular in
some instances to more than the usual degree.
Prices at the close represent moderate ad-

of 81. 80 per 100 lbs. 1t is evident that the
first half of the winter will fall but little

are nearly LOO smaller than the same time last

competition between buyers. The demand, how

clearance was made at steady prices There were
