Grease In Wool Fabrics.

Few persons realize when they put
on wooden garments what large
amount Of animal fats wool contains,
for to the touch woolens are not greasy.
In the big clothing shops where mems
garments are cut, however. the floors
around the tables where electric knives
clip out the odd shaped pieces soon be-
come as slippery as though they were
waved for a dance.
why do you wax the floors-to keep
the fabrics clean?" is a common query
from visitors.
But the clothing cutters explain that
this accumulation of grease comes
from the friction of wool cloth over the
wood. The woods pores soon become
so charged with it that they feel greasy
to the touch, and even the harder woods
in the cutting tables absorb from the
wooden fibers so much of the animal
fat that TO ell appearances they might
be in steady use in the rendering de
partment Of an abattoir.-New York

NEW YORK LETTER.


New York, Aug 22.-The life OF
a stock broker these days is strenuous
to say the least. With the thermom-
eter ranging around 100 and the vol
ume OF business transacted on the
Stock Exchange the largest in years,
they are q very busy lot.
The market today was one OF the
most erratie and mixed affairs in
months Early trading was at high
er levels for ali OF the active issues.
London prices were quoted fraction
ally higher Tor American rails. This
induced considerable short covering.
One notable feature OF This bull mar
ket is that fact that all influential
operators who usually spend their
summer vacations at Newport or on
their private yachts. are in the seeth-
ing mob at the Stock Exchange. They
are as actively engaged in speculation
now and watching the tape as closely
as they do in the fall and winter
months.
The trade was the broadest in
many months. with St Paul, Union
Pacific, Sugar. SHELTERS, Copper.
Reading, Colorado Fuel, Baltimore
& Ohio, Louisville & Nashville and in
face all of the active stocks traded in.
The Hill stocks, Narthern Pacific,
Great Northern and Northwestern
were in the limelight again today,
but on different plane from yester-
day These issues started off higher,
but there was a liberal profit taking
on the advance, and evidently some
one is endeavoring to unload a large
line of these securities.
The weakness in the Hill stocks
gradually everted sympathetic in
fuence on the balance of the list, and
in the last hour there were large
blocks OF almost every stock on the
list for sale at anything near the
market
This selling brought about re
action of three to five points in a
great many stocks Shelters lost
four points. Opening around 1G2, il
gradually eased off until it had
reached the low level of 1873 and a
fraction. Union Pacific from around
1874. dipped until it showed a loss OF
three points from the high price
early; Sauthern Pacific, also was
weak and lost two per cent. The
Hartman interests are making an
effort to market their long stock and
turn paper profits into cash.
The market closed very irregular
with weak undertone. The tota
ales were we'll over the million mark
Money 3 4 per cent.

sympathetically Trade not large in
volume and professional in eharac-
ter. The market closed with a weak
undertone.
OATS Followed the trend Of
corn closely. Opened firm but the
advance soon lost. Selling was
mostly By commission houses and
scalpers. Reports from the north
west are very bearish on the oats
crop. indicating that the yield is
larger and of better quality than
generally estimated.
PROVISIONS.-Very little trade in
hog products. what there was indi-
Gated q belief that the packing. ele-
ment were willing TO see the market
decline slightly at present.

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, August 22.-WHEAT.
Early trading was on a higher level.
but the advance was not well main
tanned. Support was lacking by the
bull operators. The market had a
setback of a cent a bushel from the
high prices established early in the
session. Rains in the northwest and
higher foreign markets were the
causes attributed for the early
strength Two large cash grain
houses and one of the more promi-
nent elevator houses were the sellers
on the advance and their offerings

A BALL OF FIRE.

Franks of a ThunderbOIt In n House
In Paris.
Camille Flammarion in his book
Thunder and Lightning" describes
some of the phenomena of electrical
storms. or the actions Of bail of fire
in Paris he says: 1T was in the Rue
st. Jacques, near the Val de Grace The
fire ball burst into the room from the
chimney, knocking over the paper
guard in front of the fireplace. IN ap-
pearance it suggested a young cat gath
cred up in a ball, as it were. and NOV
ing along without using it's paws. 1t
approached the tailor's legs as If to
play with them. The tailor moved them
away to avoid the contact, of which he
naturally was in terror.
After some seconds the globe Of fire
rose vertically to the height of the
mans face as he sat, and he to save
himself leaned quickly back and fell
over. The fire ball continued to rise
and made its way toward a hole which
had been made at the top of the chin
ney for the insertion of a stovepipe In
the winter, but which. as the tailor put
it afterward, the fire ball couldn't see,
because it was closed up with paper.
"The ball stripped off the paper neat
~, entered the chimney quite quietly
and. having risen to the summit, pro-
duced a tremendous explosion, which
sent the chimney pot flying and scat
tered it in bits all over the neighboring
courtyard and surrounding roofs"

The granting Of reduced rates to
the travelling public on account of the
reception Of William Jennings Bryan
in New York on August 80 is said to
have created quite a sensation in fl
nancial circles Why it should do so
many readers who are employed in
the ticket departments of the differ
ent railroad companies cannot under
stand for this special rate has been
going on for at least thirty years
and is not new thing by any
means. At the beginning of each
month the traffic association sends
to each coupon ticket office a special
rate bulletin for the month following
such as was the G. A. r. at Minneap-
oils, the Elks at Denver and now the
reception for William Jennings
Bryan in New York on August 80.
An effort is being made to create
an impression that the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad company offered this spe-
cial rate to show its indifference to
President Roosevelt on account of the
governments course toward the rail
road in general This is not doing
justice toward the railroads and not
showing proper respect to the presi-
dent, railroad men say. Railroads are
run for revenue. not sentiment, and
when special rate on account OF
the Bryan reception was granted il
was for the profit it might bring to
the company. The Bryan reception
committee was granted reduced rates
