new series of experiments which they
kept up until 1881, when the first real
ly successful incandescent electric
lamp was made It burned at a six
teen-candle power for nearly sixteen
hundred hours, or more than two
months, and its success was assured.
During the following year hundred
thousand Of those lamps were made

invention-untll the present style of
incandescent lamp was settled upon
as the most serviceable form.
During the first ten years succeed
ing 1881 four millions Of them were in
use, and in 1903, eleven years later,
America alone required forty-fve mil

Had Edison become discouraged

I carrying a reserve of about $50 900, ,0OO
which is much the heaviest surplus
of the last ten years. Gold exports
have commenced and seem likely to
continue, especially in view of short
supply of grain bills this year; but
future cotton bills should soon be
plentiful. Moreover, the loss of few
millions would be slightly felt here
and would be beneficial to London,
so that no concern Is necessary on
this account. In fact, any improve
ment in London would quickly be re-
fiected here, and if gold commands
better rates in London than here it
is for the common good to allow its
departure. The foreign situation has
had little effect upon the financial
markets. Japan has continued her
marvellous successes without serious
interruption, but if the war is to end
this season Japan must quickly win
great victory as the time is not far
distant when aggressive operations on
both land aud sea will be heavily
by the approach of win
ter. Since the outlook is for stronger
and more active markets, good stocks
are likely to be purchase on sharp
reactions and in the absence of un.
