NEW ERA IN INDIA.
Asiatic Empire to Manufacture It's
 own Steel.

'Asiatic Empire to Manufacture Its
 Own Steel.
 Experiments checked by highly train ed officials of the geological survey de- pertinent of the government of India show that the demand for coke for the blast furnaces will render profitable the extraction at Indian collieries of coal tar and ammonium sulphate, both valuable byproducts, says the London Mail. For this purpose sulphuric acid factories are to be set up in western Bengal to utilize the hitherto unprofit- able deposits of sulphurous copper ore which have long been known to exist in the Chota Nagpur district.
 This means that India is about to enter the field as a producer of both copper and chemical manure as well as of iron and aluminium. Its cheap labor, abundant raw materials and enormous local markets give it a posi- tion of great advantage in this con- nection.
 Already Indian coal supplies nearly all the requirements of southern Asia. to the exclusion of Cardiff coal. h. dian jute mills have secured almost q monopoly of the supply of sacks for the grain producing world. Indian tea is driving Chinese tea before it from St. Petersburg to New York. Iron and steel are already being manufactured on a small scale in Bengal. The de- velopments which are pending have the history of the past upon their side.

The PfGtail's EutuPe.

Much of the black hair that is sold in the hair market comes from China. The London Daily News interviewed the other day a wholesale dealer in hair. who said: ''I am not fully acquainted' with the Chinese customs, but under stand in general way that the Chi naman who disobeys the law suffers the loss of his tail. which thrifty gov ernment turns into cash. perhaps to de fray some part of the cost of the prose cution. Then I understand from a friend of mine who has travelled a great deal in the east that on Chinese sailor dying at sea his tail is cut off and dispatched to his government. whether in accordance with some re- ligious requirement. or as a sort of in formal death certificate am unable to say. But these taiis. after their arriv- al has been duly chronicled, also. un- derstand. find their way to the English and American market. Chinese hair is coarse. but its length gives it a special value in our business"

FRIDAY. MARCH 24, 1905.

Engineers are planning to make great changes in the port of London. It is proposed to build d great dam across the Thames river, between Graveseml and Tilbury, and to provide this dam with locks so as to give q uniform depth of thirty feet above the barrier, rendering the upper Thames independent of tides. The barrage proposed would be built with four locks. two 1000 feet in length and two 500 feet, for the passage of shipping. In the base of the dam would be con Kent and Essex.

man would immediately conclude that
 he could find better fishing If he moved
 somewhat over to the left of the fleet
 of boats. These movements were duly
 noted from the Japanese observation
 station and the fire directed according
 ly. After the Russiank discovered the
 scheme there was no more fishing per
 mitted in that particular section of the harbor.
 Not long afterward, however, the fire began again to grow remarkably accurate, and 1t was noticed that a Chinaman occasionally waded into the shallows with couple of buckets. ap- parently in search of crabs, and that one bucket was white and the other black. If the Japanese shot fell beyond the mark the black bucket would be carried of corresponding distance beyond the white bucket, or if the shot fell short or to the left or right, strange to relate, the black bucket would move in sympathy, and if hit were made the industrious crab catcher would place his buckets together" G
 In Frederic Villiers' book on Port Ar: thur he tells the following incident of the siege:
 During the fighting yesterday a young Japanese officer in charging a trench with his men was severely in- jured in both legs by the enemy's shrapnel and fell fainting into the ditch. His company was driven back down the glacis to donga below. This morning Russian soldier, carrying something in his arms, was seen com ing toward the donga from the glacis. The something he carried was the young Japanese officer, who had been left in the trench the previous day. Of course there was much rejoicing, and the Russian prisoner is on parole, much petted by the Japanese soldiers.
 'This is the officers story: When he recovered consciousness after his fall he was lying, with several dead com rades near him, unable to move his legs, when an unarmed Russian sol dier stole into the trench and began to examine the dead. The Japanese off cer, fearing that the Russian would kill and rob him, attempted to un- buckle his revolver, but the soldier, on seeing his action, approached him with such reassuring smile that he re- trained from pulling the trigger.
 "'He stood over me- he said, and spoke some words of Russian which of course I did not understand, but they were gentle and amiable I could tell. Then the man passed behind me, and presently I found myself being safely raised from the ground, and eventually in the strong arms of the humane Muscovite was brought down to the trench in which my comrades had taken cover.'"

YESTERDAY'S STOCK WARKE7'
Selling to Take Profits Overbears New
 Buying Demand.

Selling to Take Profits Overbears New Buying Demand.
 New York, Aug. 1S.-Selling to take profits overbore the new buying de- mand to-day and gave the stock mar
 ket of the day reactionary tone as a whole. Some question as to the possi-
 ble effect of the outcome of the peace conference at Portsmouth and the large inroads of the week on the cash re- serves of the banks emphasized the dis position to reduce commitments. The markst continued to show firm under | tone, which was manifested by the pro- gressiVe dullness of the trading as prices declined. The selling, in fact,
 was not pursued progressively and the market had frequ;nt periods of recoV- cry. It had its points of positive | strength as well, although these were l few in number and without the pre- Ivailing effect that has been SC n OH pre- vious days of the week. The pushing up a few stocksF was rather obviously for the purpose of sustaining the rest
 of the market during the process of
 profit taking. The perception of this fact diminished the effect of the ad- vance. St. Paul was the conspicuous 1 instance of early strength, and it was
 made to open at a wide advance over
 last night, while active sellinb began
 almost imms diately at all other points
 in the list.
 Late in the day an enormous accumu-
 latiCn of Pennsylvania set in and this
 served to hold the level of prices for a 1 time at other points. Reading also went
 to new high level during the day. This about exhausted the list of strong
 stocks among the active market lead
 CTS. Otherwise the pressure to sell was
 quite general, but was most marked in
 the latest speculative favorites. The Pacifics were especially affected, so l much so as to give rise to rumor of an intention to issue additional South
 ern Pacific bonds to account for the
 weakness. This rumor was without of-
 ficial sanction.
 The sustained firmness of Japanese
 and Russian government securities kept
 up the belief in financial circles in an
 ultimate agreement on a peace treaty at Portsmouth.

 from time. to time, prices were tending

 there is to it.
 And it is the thing because goggles

Wherever she appears, on the plazzas of seaside hotels, at lunch con, or in the shopping district, it is taken for granted that she arrived and will depart in large, Varnishsd tour ing car with brass trimmings, and she makes women who are not thus array i'd look as if they were travelling on trolley transfers.
 Consequence? Consequence is that avery other woman is buying goggles and wells and King Arthur gloves and roamy saffron wraps. We're selling them to shoppers who have been, closer to an automibile than the toot of the honk horn them. It's the yachting craze over again in anothar form. You remember there were days when
