RATS ALWAYS SAIL AWAY.
Yet There Is No Apparent Decrease
in Number at New Orleans.

Captain A. R. McGonnigal was for a
number of years an officer of one of
the fruit steamers plying between New
Orleans and Central American ports.
Talking with me about this fruit trade
one day last week, he said: DO you
know, it amazes me that the fruit
steamers do not succeed in Kidding New
Orleans of its rat population. They are
continually carrying rats away from
New Orleans and never bring them
back, yet the rat supply in the Crescent
City always holds up under the strain
pretty well.
Il was in the trade for a good many
years, and I count this curious freak of
the Louisiana. rats one of the oldest
things I have ever been cognizant of.
While the fruit steamers lie at the New
Orleans docks the rats stow themselves
away by the scores and hundreds. Cats
are of no avail in keeping them back.
/ had fifteen on board my craft once,
and they succeeded in doing no more
than keep the rodents below deck. On
the out voyage they are one of the big
gest nuisances ina gina BILE, but as soon
as the vessel reaches one of the Central
American ports they swarm ashore, as
though the Pied Piper of Hamlin were
playing on the sands.
During the return voyage to New
Orleans, with my vessel loaded with
luscious fruit, and, it would be pre-
have never seen one on board. They
sail out with us. but they never come
back. 1 don't know how to account for
it, but the statement is true, and have
no doubt the captain of every vessel
in the fruit trade out of New Orleans
has noticed 1t and will substantiate my
assertion."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

ONLY TEMPORARY.
SulIy Has Only This to Say OF
His Failure.

New York. March 19.-'.My suspension
is only temporary said Daniel ].
Sully, the cotton Spectator, the sus-
pension of whose firm shook the specu-
lative world yesterday. He made this
declaration upon reaching his home
after a conference at his offices, ex-
tending until late in the night
Il do not care to add anything to that
simple statement" he continued land
shall not have any further statement
to make either tomorrow or Sunday"
Mr.. Sully apparently was no more
downcast than he was exultant not
long ago when the current report was
that he had made several millions
through the unprecedentedly high price
for cotton. He would not discuss the
intimations that there might have been
treachery at some point among his
friends nor would he indicate how soon
he expected to resume operations The
members of the cotton exchange who
had contracts with. Daniel Sully & Co.,
held a meeting after the close of BUSH
ness in the governing committee room
of the exchange to discuss the S1tua-
ton. They were creditors of the sus-
pended firm and many of them did not
know whether they would be insolvent
on the following day OF not in case the
failure was a bad one.
1t was decided to appoint q commit
tee of the leading brokers, of which
John McFadden was the chairman.
They visited the office of Sully & Co.,
/ and made formal inquiry as to the
amount of contracts the firm had out
standing. No information was obtain
able and after a protFaeted discussion
the meeting was dissolved without any
conclusion being reached One of those
present said afterwardc
1--WE counted noses and that is about
| all we did. We gathered the conclusion,
however, Mr.. Su11y does not hold 3OO,-
900 bales of cotton The amount is far
less than that, 1 am glad ID say, and
after careful compilation it was the
opinion of all present at the meeting
that a safe estimate of his holdings
would be about 225, 900 bales
Upon the average price of cotton to-
day hinges the outcome of the failure
Should this be within reasonable
bounds. the creditors will not fare so
badly as at first might appear. Mr..
Sully's hopeful views are grounded on
| this prospect.

was the twO-thirdS vote by bituminouS
coal miners to accept the proposed re-
ductiOn in wages. This will probably
prevent a serious struggle that would
paralyze manufacturing just when 1t
is beginning to revive.
Complications have arisen in the To-
cal building trades that retard structur-
al work, but a settlement is anticipated
and the open weather is stimulating
outdoor work at other points. Retail
distribution of Easter goods steadily ex-
pands and dealers stocks are being de-
pleted because of conservatism in initial
purchases. This promises large supple
mentary jobbing and wholesale orders
as the season advances. Traffic delays
are still causing complaint and the
movement of exhibits to the St. Louis
exposition provides a temporary feature
of Importance. Railway earnings thus
far available for March show a decrease
of only 8 per cent as compared with
last years figures.
Another week has brought no check
to the progress in the iron and steel in
dustry. Improvement does not come
suddenly, nor is there any inclination
to advance prices by bounds, as in the
boom four years ago. This conservatism
will bring beneficial results If continued.
All division of the pig iron market are
more active and the level of prices tends
gradually upward. The leading interest
is closing its options by taking the iron,
and will probably accept the May de-
livery when the option expires next
month. Several large undertakings are
progressing satisfactorily providing a
good market for steel and much con-
templated work is becoming more tan
gible as the season advances.
While no material increase is re-
ported in sales of steel for railroad or
structural purposes. the tone of the
market is better and there is more con-
fidence in the future. Pipe is one of
the strongest features of the industry
The fuel situation is attracting atten-
ton, coke shippers being unable to Sc
cure cars.
Increased strength and activity is
noted in the hide market. which is sig
nificant at this time. when the quality
is least satisfactory. Leather is also
in better demand the largest individ-
ual transaction ever recorded in union
sole having occurred at private terms.
"ShOe shops are receiving few or
ders, yet there is confidence regarding
the future.
Dizziness is the chief characteristic
of the primary market for dry goods,
and in some cases prices are shaded,
although the general position of tex
tiles is unchanged. Cotton mills are
slow to accept forward business, insist
ing on higher prices than are offered
in most cases. No further reduction
in output is recorded. but more idle
machinery is expected shortly, both
north and south.
Failures this week number 229 in
the United States, compared with 220
last year, and q in Canada, against q
year ago"

Glass Houses for conaumptives.

A crusade against consumption is be-
ing carried on with greater impetus
than ever the world over. Fresh air
is the chief feature of the treatment of
the disease. In London, where it is a
long way to the fresh air of the noun
tains, some of the hospitals have estab-
lished consumption houses" where
they manufacture pure air for the spe-
cial treatment of consumption. The
rooms for the patients are made of
glass and wood, six feet six inches long,
four feet wide and six feet high, and
stand nine inches from the floor on
blocks. Here the patient spends two
thirds of his time breathing the dry
pure, raref1ed air pumped in from the
outside. The air is first filtered through
layers of cotton to remove the particles
of dust and SCOT and it is then dried
by being passed through perforated
trays charged with chloride of calcium
Finally the air is ozoniZed by means of
an Andriolis; tube which is called into
action every five minutes by an auto
matte clock The ventilating shaft
leading from the outside is equipped
with an exhaust fan which drives out
the air slightly faster than it is sup
piled so that the atmosphere within
the cubicle is partially rarefied. As a
rule the inn ate of the cubicle s1islikes
leaving the room because of the diff
cuItv Of breathing the thick, damp air
outside. The cubicles of the oxygen
hospital have been used with such sue
cess in treating tuberculosis that Dr.
George Stoker believes that they offer
a solution of curing the conSumptive
laborers of London and other congested
cities.-New York Tribune.

Caused a Boom In Cork.

From the Buffalo Evening Times.
The disaster to the excursion boat Gen.
Slocum. in which hundreds of lives were
lost, has caused a great boom in cork.
The manufacturers of life preservers are
overrun with orders and are receiving
large consgnments of cork from Spain.
whence most of the material comes. and
from South American countries. It Is
gratifying to note that the orders are
in all cases for life preservers made OF
the best quality of cork. When 1t was
learned by test that the dust made lifo
prservers were of no use, orders were
received for thousands of preservers
manufactured from large pieces of the
bark. No more dust life preseryers will
be made. Not that they are not safe
for few years, but time causes them
to deterlorate.
The public heartily welcomes a boom
that means so much for the safety Of
vessel passengers.
