New York, March 5.-The stock mar
ket came under the influence of the
threat of a Northern Securities de-
cision Monday, and lost most of the
small gains which had been establish
ed by the slow and laborious harden
ing movement of the whole of the
week up to to-day.
The market closed easy, and at de-
clines running to point in a number
of the prominent stocks. The volume
Of liquidation was unimportant, and
indicated nothing more than traders
positions in the market. but the i'm
pelling motive was clear enough and
was corroborated by the weakness of
Northern Securities itself on the curb.
The bank statement was without any
influence.
The increase in cash was slightly
less than expected, but the fact that
there was an increase at all is evil
dence of the continued tendency to-
wards congestion OF reserves.
Loan Expansion,
The loan expansion was viewed with
equanimity, in view of the condition
of reserves, notwithstanding that the
loan item establishes a new high rec
ord again, with an aggregate for the
clearing house banks within $4,000 of
a round billion of dollars. This is
supposed to reflect renewed corporation
borrowing, including the $5,000,000 taxi
en- by New York Central and the same
amount by the Burlington. Railroads
reporting gross earnings for the fourth
week in February show some increases
over the similar period of last year, but
the additional day in February of this
year, which figures in the showing,
distorts the comparison.

States Navy Department for use in the
south. The selection Of this dock
was AIDE after an inspection of every
dock along the Atlantic coast. This
dock was soon replaced, and a third,

1t favorably located factories at

CHESEBROUGH
MFG. CO., CONSOLIDATED.
VASEbINE.

Within the past IL months a cluster
of substantially built brick buildings
have been erected on part of the Cort-
landt Parker tract, commonly known
as the "Kearny Farm" These
buildings have been put up by the
Chesebrough Manufacturing Com
pany, Consolidated and constitute
their new factory for the manufacture
of Vaseline.
Some thirty.fve years ago Mr..
Robert A. Chesebrough, the Presi-
dent of the company, then engaged
in the petroleum business, discovered
the product. Crude petroleum, as
almost everyone knows, yields on be.
ing distilled benzine, kerosene, &c.
which are distillatcs, or the conden-
sor vapors, driven out of the crude
oil when heated in the still. There
remains, however, after these lighter
Or " refined" products are removed,
a dense, fatty-like substance, called
the residue, and Mr.. Chesebrough's
discovery lay in obtaining from thi'
residue the article which he termed
Vaseline." His process is in cook
ing it in kettles, until the residue be
comes sweet or free of all petroleum
faint or odor, then in fltering i
through animal charcoal to take from
it its black color. Now the manufac
turc is conducted with a peculiar ella,
which is obtained in Florida.

what the company required. In Feb
ruary of last year the land was bought
and in the following April, about a year
ago, ground was broken. In a close
contest of some nine competitors Mr..
George w. Mercer, the local contract
or, secured the work of construction.
The works are as yet not quite COM
plete, but, as to that, it is probable
they never will be. The business we
hope, will continue to grow, and as it
does, the works will do likewise con-
tinuously.
Some four hundred people are now
on the pay roll of which over one
hundred are men, two hundred and
thirty are Women and forty are boys.
Most OF them were engaged in Perth

been moved from Brooklyn. OF course
those who were, are generally the

The foundry and machine shops OF

of Fayette and Water streets, give
employment TO about 100 hands.
The firm was established in 1879
by Patrick White, who, prior to that
time had been in business with {. ..
Reed. The business at first small
gradually increased until 1890, when
a foundry, 45xSo feet, and a machine
shop, 4oxoo feet, erected. The
firm then became p. White & Sons.
Among the productions of these
shops are hosting engines, brick and
tile machinery and smelter castings
of all kinds.

The c. Pardee works has been
established since 1897. They at
first consisted of a tile plant. Later,
a hollow brick works was added, but
a few years ago this branch was sold
to the Federal Clay Company. Re
Gently the Pardee Steel Works has
been started. They are all situated
along the Raritan river.
Beyond the Pardee works, going
up the river, we're a line OF hollow
brick works. These we're all sold out
with the formation Of the Federal
Clay Company, and they are now all
operated by that concern. Adam
Weber Sons operate a large brick
works along the river, which is one
of the oldest and largest in this vi
cinity.
The foregoing list of industries
does not complete all of which this
city can boast. They, with the
shelters, and the Perth Amboy Ter

are along the water front. While
they include all of the more impor
