cents, or, including the cost Of set
ting, IA cents. II lasts about two
years. Compounding interest at sper
cent, the annual charge OF such post
is 7.s3 cents; that is, it costs 7sS
cents year to keep the post In SER
vice. Preservative treatment costing
10 cents will increase It's length OF life
to about eighteen years, In this case
the total cost of the post, set, is "a
cents, which compounded at 5 per
cent, gives an annual charge Of 2,04
cents. Thus the saving due to treat
ment is 5.4o cents year, Assuming
that there are 200 posts per mile,
there is a saving each year for every
mile of fence Of a sum equivalent to
the interest on $4,000.
In the same way preseryative treat
ment will increase the length OF life
of loblolly pine railroad tic from
FIVE years to twelve years and will
reduce the annual charge from il.s2
cents to o,48 cents, which amounts to
a saving Of $sa7s per mile.
1t is estimated that 10000 acres
are required each year to grow tim |
Der for the anthracite coal mines
alone. The average life of an un-
treated mine prop is not more than
three years. By proper preservativc
treatment it can be prolonged by
many times this figure. Telephone
and telegraph poles, which in ten or
twelve years, or even less, decay so
badly at the ground line that they
have to be removed. can, by a simple
tretament OF their butts, be made to
asst twenty or twenty-five years. Sap
shingles, which are almost valueless
n their natural state, can easily be
reated and made to outlast even
painted shingles of the most decay
esistant wood. Thousands OF dol
ars are lost every year by the So
allied "bluing" Of freshly sawed sap
wood timbers. This can be prevent
d by proper treatment. and at a cost
o small as to put it within the reach

In the South the cheap and abund-
mt loblolly pine, one of the easiest
'f all woods to treat, can by proper
PREPARATION be made to take the place

many purposes. Black and tupelo
ums and other little-used woods

hem from decay at small cost. In
ne Northeastern and Lake States are
lmarack, hemlock, beech, birch, and. 7
laple, and the red and black oaks, all :
which by proper treatment may

There has been a gradual and steady
in the volume Of business
On the washington Stock Exchange
during the last two weeks. The week
that closed yesterday brought its gain
in the volume Of business, but was en-
Jirely devoid Of anything that looked
like manipulation, a feature that has
dominated Wan Street for nearly an
entire year. Our market is not broad
enough for a satisfactory business dur
ing nine months IN the year, with suf-
fcient opportunities for Washington
capital to find investment In Washing
ton securities.
Traction SIS, II51s.
Some weeks ago The Times called at
tention TO the fact that local bonds
were a big purchase, as compared with
the current range for New York bonds
Since then there has been a steady i'm
provement, and the Capital Traction IS
have been the leader. In a few weeks
they have advanced from 113, the best
bid, TO II51z, and few offered below IFS
A large trade has been recorded in
the IS OF the washington Railway Com
pany, and they have held steadily
around 81. Gas bonds have been doing
nicely, and It IS evident to observers
that the buying is for investment alone
Traction Shares Steady.
Traction shares have been holding
their own without much trouble both as
20 Capital and Washington Railway,
preferred. The former Is held at l29,
with l2SIk bid, and the latter at S2zs Tor
the preferred and 34sl fer the common.
Washington Gas was stronger, ad-
vancing at the close TO 6.
There was the usual miscellaneous
business in Lanston. MergenJhaler,

and Electric Company.
The feeling at the close was favorable

There Is a growing belief on the Street
that bank changes which seemed iTnrni-
