COST OF LONDON FOG.

\ days fog is estimated to cost London
anything from $50 o00 to cIl0.Go0 in hard
cash. which seems dear al the price No
small proportion OF this goes 10 the gas
and electric light companies. which have
10 supply as q rule about third more Of
their commodities than usual. Owing TO
this fact Sunday fogs are a cheaper line.
the a&outn OF additional light used il
churches and private houses being much
less than that which is necessary in places
of business when there is a weekday fog.
Then there are the railway companies: 10
them fog not only means inevitable de-
lay and possible danger. as the accidents
recorded on Saturday show. but also the
cost Of fog signalling. which Is an expen-
Sive business. The platelayers employed
on the lines become special sisna.men in
times Of fog or snowstoTrn and whenever
the red signal lieht cannot he seen ut
a distance OF one hundred yards the, are
expected TO take Up their appointed sta
tons without other notice The fos Sig
nalm.a's duty is - Interpret 20 the driv-
ers Of trains the character of the regular
signals. The duty : an arduous and even
hazardous one and the men are not over
paid at Is. a day. in addition 70 Iheir reg
ular wages as piatelayers. and 4d per
hour overtime. Low as the wages are the
service is a costly one and al Claphanl
Junction So has been paid by che com
pany alone during single fog In extra
pay. apart from tho cost OF detonators-

Siors that It was used as a stable for
calf. \ hole was cut in ore end large
enough TO put the animal inside. aud an
other made IN the other end allowed sts

DELAY OF MERGER DECISION is
DEPRESSING.
Opening Trading Languid and Indif-
ferent - Speculation Most Con-
cerned with specialties - Afternoon
Selling Of Transcontinental Stocks
Causes Decline and Dizziness.

New York, April 18.-Opening prices for
the week in the stock market to-day
showed narrow and irregular changes and
the trading was languid and Indifferent.
A rise of pint in Consolidated Gas and
a drop of in Anaconda were the only
notable changes.
Speculative attention was most con-
cerned with a handful Of specialties. Steel
preferred and Amalgamated were also
conspicuously firm.
Railroad stocks showed trivial improve
ment rather more from the absence OF
offerings than any sustained demand and
the gains were not well held.
Anaconda recovered its Appoint loss and
