Harden Metals by Air.

The latest proposals for intensifying
the oxidizing action of air on metals
is that of NJ. Harmet, and has for its
object the treatment of cast iron,
producing a refined iron or steel.
Molten iron is caused to flow through
fine channel surrounded by an an
nular air.blast. which thus forms a
turpere, driving the metal forward in
fine spray. This spray is collected
and allowed to flow together again
in receiving chamber, from which the
molten steel can be tapped.

The liking for gamble, though the

veterate in English farmers. They
prefer, when selling fat cattle, to pit
their experience against that Of the

of by weight. At present the total
of all the cattle markets OF England
and Scotland in which the "weiEh

Every housekeeper should know
that II they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time. because 1t
never sticks to the iron. but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in Apound pack
ages. and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
12-oz. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Denance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
tiers and figures 10 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time ana
money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.

The fuse in an armor-piercing shell

delay in action is just enough to let it

Value of Riches,

Riches are valuable at all times and
to all men, because they always pdr-
chase pleasures such as men are &C.

thing restrain or regulate the love of
money but sense of honor and vir-
tue, which. if not equal at all times,
will naturally abound most in ages of

TEsTEMDAY,s yTocK MARKEr.
Subsistence in Speculative Activity Very
 Naked.

k subsidence in Speculative Activity Very
 Marked.
 New York, Dec 15.-The subsistence of speculative activity in stocks was very marked to-ehy, the sales for the day making a smaller total than for several months. It was evident that the urgency of liqlidafion was greatly but attempts to ferce prices upwards met witk continuef checks. The ab- sence of any selling pressure left the | price level constantly above last night and afforded encouragement to persist ent renewals of tht advance. At the opening the rise WIS most pronounced and the market most animated. But the sensitivencss thu demonstrated by the market to rumg.s rs.S. was. an import. caution which ruled throughout. The course of Amalgamahd Copper was still of dominant influence, and reac- tons in the course tf its advance brought quick response at other points
 The coalers were conspicuous feat ures in the opening advance, particu- larly Reading the favor shown that group being due to ftattering reports of conditions in the coal industry. The belief that the new control of the Cin- cinnati. Hamilton ana DaytoI system was destined for the benefit of Erie helped that stock as well as the coalers generally. Revised rtimors of he dls- posal of Lehigh Navigation also played a part in that particular movement. The Metropolitan Fraction group was affected by the announced intention to enter on subway projects in New York city, and the simultaneous depression of Interborough Rapid Transit on the curb was attributed to the same cause. The United States Steel stocks. espe- cially the preferred, were steadily ac- cumulated. Trade reports were of large orders for various lines of finished pro- ducts, including steel rails.
 The successful conclusion of the Lon don stock market settlement, about which some anxiety had been felt was helpful to this market Money was easy, both for call loans and on time, and confidence was felt .hat with the frightened demand for speculation in the stock market, there was no danger Of any stringency in the future so far as described
 The uncertain tone of the market continued up to the last, but the closing was steady and some considerable ad- vances for the day resulted. Bonds were dull and irregular. The total sales, par value. aggregated s, 235, ,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.
