British Art Treasures.


The recent acquisition by an American
collector of four first folios of Shakespeare
plays for the remarkable sum of 10000
has strengthened the demand for legislation
In the matter Of the expectation of art
treasures.
The amount spent by the government an
nually on pictures and other works of art
is as nothing when compared with the I'M
limited purses of American millionaires. and
1t is therefore evident that the only course
that remains open, IL private literary and
art treasures are to be retained in this coun-
try. Is legislation.
Italy protects her art treasures by pro-
hibiting the expectation of any work of
Italian origin without the permission of the
government, and II was owing to this law
that the attempted sale of the Borghese IT,
tan Sacred and Profane Love-" to Amer
lea, for an enormous sum of money-by
some said to be f200.00o-was prevented.
Why, therefore. should not the British gov
eminent make similar law?
During the past season many Of the finest
canvases have crossed the Atlantic. OF re-
cent times the most notable instance Is the
sale to Mr.. Altman of New York of Hopp-
ner's Lady Louisa Manners, sold at Chris
ties for 14.050 guineas.' In fact, the high
prices paid for many OF the pictures sold
under the hammer are undoubtedly caused
by the unlimited commissions from Amer
lea. The famous Titan ''Arfosto," purchased
last year for 10000 by the British nation,
would in all probability have found a place
In some American collection. had not Mr..
Astor, Mr.. Belt and few others generous
ly subscribed Els, 500 of the purchase money

PASSING OF THE RAIL FENCE.
Hardwood Timber Too Valuable
Wire Takes It's Place.

From the New York Sun.
The country youths of today have no
rail- splitting records to boast Of. Railmak-
ing is an industry to boast of. There are
a few remote localities in Indiana. Illinois
Kentucky, Missouri and Arkansas where
occasional new stretches of worm fence
may still be seen. but these new rails are
so rare a sight as to evoke comment.
The passing of the old worm fence Is due
to the scarcity Of timber. Wire fences are
replacing the zigzag rows of rails in the
region where timber was formerly abun-
dant. When a rail fence becomes SO dilap-
idated as to be no longer serviceable 1t is
taken down and-the rails which are In a
good state of preservation are used to re-
pair other stretches of fence and wire fence
is put up In it's place. Another advantage
Of the wire fence is that 1t economies
space. The land that was formerly taken
up by the fence corners Is reclaimed.
The fate of the rail fence was declared
less than twenty years ago. when the value
of walnut, oak and poplar timber increased
to such a figure to make wire fences
cheaper. In the worm fences still in exis-
tence there are thousands of walnut and
popular rails in an almost perfect state Of
preservation. The walnut ones are valu-
able An enterprising Chicago concern re-
Gently made that discovery and It's repre-
sentatives have purchased many carloads
Of the rails
Walnut rails have a remarkably long life.
Many are still in use which were split more
than fifty years ago.

NOISE AND WORK.
Unnecessary Ringing Of Bells ane
Blowing Of Whistles.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
One of the enterprising manufacturing
towns of Connecticut has started crusade
against the excessive ringing of mill bells
and the prolonged blowing of steam whis-
ties. The manufacturing establishments are
the life Of the place, and If the signals OF
prosperity are welcome anywhere in the
world they would be cherished in all their
aggressveness. one might suppose, in a
busting and hustling Connecticut town. The
citizens of this particular place draw the
line at los strokes of a big factory bell at
$50 in the morning, when most of the IN
habitants are enjoying the profound sleep
which settles upon one about the dawn of
day. 1t is suggested by one OF the dis
gruntled that the bell-ringing practice Is a
survival Of the period when there were few
clocks and no dollar watches "
1t Is rank heresy to declaim against the
hustle of trade, even IL 1t take the form OF
unnecessary racket. in community which
finds 1t difficult to differentiate between
mere noise and progress: but some Of the
citizens Of Rockville, Conn, possessing the
courage Of conviction, are agitating the
question whether it is not possible to turn
out as much work from the factories with
little less tumult in the bell towers and
terrific blasts of the big whistles. -,
There was time when the people could
not be assembled without the aid Of a bell
Within recollection every school house was
provided with one. The childish mind Is
peculiarly obiivious to punctuality in at
tendance at school, yet several hundred
thousand public school pupils in Philadei-
phia manage to arrive IN time for the first
morning lesson without the aid of any sig
nal save the home clock. In the majority
Of the Pennsylvania counties the court
house is provided with a bell. Litigation
apparently could not be conducted without
1t; but in New York and Philadelphia the
judges are able to occupy the bench, the
lawyers. the suitors the witnesses and the
! jurymen their places, more or less promptly,
without the assistance Of the bell in the
steeple. The fact is. a great deal of very
important assembling Is accomplished with
out such aid. The theory that nothing Is
doing when there is no noise is exploded.
In the early days of railroading the time
table was not SUFFICIENT to waken the vii
lage, and 1t was thought essential that the
depot, as well as the locomotive. should

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. September 23.-London ex-
ercised a very considerable influence IN
the local stock market this morning. the
early cables showed that American stocks
Were exceptionally firm I'm London under
the head of the United States Steel issue,
while in other departments of the market
they were depressed by uneasiness respect
Ing the monetary situation. excited by
large gold shipments to Paris and TO
Egypt and further by misgivings as TO
tho progress of the fortnightly settlement
next week. Reports were current in Lon
o6n that gold to the amount of $o,OUO.ODC
had been shipped from Australia to San
Francisco, and that further amounts had
already been arranged for. Operations In
the local market for foreign account were
upon quite large scale for a Saturday
half holiday. Very heavy buying of the
United States Steel stocks was observed.
while. on the other hand. the bulk Of the
foreign orders In the railway list were on
the selling side.
Aside from London's attitude toward the
local market, there was little or nothing
in the mornings news which had much
effect upon prices. Interest and discussion
eonverged almost exclusively upon the
proba bilities of the bank statement, re-
gardng which favorable expectations were
entertained. The weekly reports of the
mercantile agencies upon the state of the
country's trade We're highly gratifying ex-
hibits.
In the early dealings the stock market
showed great irregularty, and many stocks
receded extensively from their final prices
of yesterday. The United States Steel stocks
were however. exceptionally firm through
out, and before the close of the first hour a
general and quite vigorous recovery made
its appearance. The leaders of the rally in
the railway list were Louisville and Nash
Vile and Union Pacific. but the upward turn
was quite commonly participated in. The
local traction shares We're rather less promi-
nent than was the case yesterday and
moved In line with the remainder of the
market
The actual figures of the bank statement
conformed quite closely with the general ex-
pectations. The loss in cash set forth was
S2.6SS.OO. which amount accorded fairly
well with the average of the preliminary
estimates. In the loan account a further
curtailment of S9,3S1 900 was shown, which
change, together with the falling away In
cash, was rather poorly reflected In the de-
post account, which decreased S13 157 600
As result of the changes In deposit and
cash items surplus reserves increased $3.50
900, and the banks now hold s., pa 900 in
excess of the lawful requirements. This Is
the first increase In surplus reported by the
Banks since August II. Surplus cash hold
ings In the corresponding week of last year
were 26.2d 600. in 1903 $14. $50. 600. and in
1902 S3,236UO. The reduction in the bank
deposit or liability account so far this month
has amounted TO about $S4,ODO,OOO.

NEW YORK COTTON
WIDEST MARKET OF THE MONTH
TO-DAY.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. September 23-There was
the widest market of the month this
morning. Though prices advanced 90 points
yesterday there was another liz: of - OF IA
points this morning, with conditions of the
most exciting kind. The buying by the
southern and western interests attracted
some outside business this morning, and
with Liverpool Is points higher than yes
terday or about 81 bale. 1t was not sur
prfslng that the market here was In an
active and a nervous state. Sentiment was
unauestionably against selling cotton short
as long as crop news continued OF so pes
simistc tenor This left the market with
out much pressure.
At the opening this morning it was diff
cult to buy cotton save at much higher
prices. January, that closed at 1880 last
night, sold as high as 1897 during the
early excitement. This advance attracted
an extensive amount of prOfit-takfng on
the. part of those who bought most heav-
fly early In the week at 30 or 40 points
lower than the present price. But the SELL
ing did not result in any change in the
tone of the market. Reports Of the dis
appointing character of the crop outlook
in so many sections operated In favor Of
continued excitement. There Is now q
growing impression, whether mistaken or
not, that the crop promise Is smaller than
has. before been believed possible. The re-
cent rise IS likely to encourage the south
ern holder and increase the buying by
spinners In all directions. The market was
active and higher
The Chronicle weather report was as fol-
lows:
"Advices indicate that weather has been
quite favorable and that cotton Is opening
rapidly. Picking Is making satisfactory
progress and the crop is moving freely.
The drought in Texas has been broken in
most sections"
The amount of cotton in sight this week
has been 30 coo bales. against 1868. 900 bales
last year. The weeks exports were 114.OJO
bales. against $4,000 bales last year, and
for the season $4,000 bales against 364 COO
bales last year. The worlds visible supply
of American cotton Is now 1916. 600 bales.
against S72.O00 bales last year and 1.306, 600
bales In 1902.
The dry goods situation Is said to be
in many cases, sellers have sold the
output of mills for the immediate future.
Prices are held by the strength of the
market for raw material and few conces-
sions made. Some lines find prices
higher than a week ago.
Bradstreet says: There Is a general
agreement that the southern cotton crop
has deteriorated further. There will be
only an average crop in Alabama. There
has been no Improvement in Texas and
the yield in that state will fall % to 40
per cent behind last year In Georgia the
yield will be much smaller. Rain has hurt
cotton in Florida. From all points ad-
and is being picked rapidly, though scarcity
of labor is complained of in various sec
tions. An early, and therefore. short crop,
Is the general expectation"
