Michigan's Salt Industry.
From the Detroit News.


Michigan salt manufacturers have pro-
duced 6,11O99O barrels Of salt this year.
This is few barrels less than were pro-
duced in 1907, and considerably less than
was placed on the market in 1906. that
wears output having been 6.644.a5a bar
rels In 1901 the output was over 1000, 600
barrels. but the lessening of the output
has not arisen from any lack Of the raw
material; the decline of the numbering in
terests, when waste steam was used to
evaporate the brine, is responsible for
some of this. However, the production OF
over 100000 tons of salt last year does
not make a bad commercial showing
But this is only small part of the
salt industry of the state. In Wayne
county alone several thousand people are
engaged in manipulating salt brine from
the bowels of the earth, a thousand feet or
so below the surface. From the edge of
Detroit to the mouth of the River Rogue
where the Solvay company has it's plant
down to Wyandotte and Trenton, great
salt works are sending their pipes to the
storehouse of the raw material-the prod
uct of ages of evaporation and precipita-
tion-and out of the brine thus procured
they are making a score of products used
in commerce and the arts. The Solvay
works alone makes daily 800 tons of soda

In deciding to dispose of some half

tating, on a larger scale, the example of
his uncle. King Edward. who on succeed
ing to the throne FASTENED to announce
that he had residences enough to keen up
without Osborne. which he accordingly
bequeathed to the nation. But the diff
ference between him and his imperial
nephew is this-that the latter is offering
his superfluous castles for sale-to the
great disgust of the people in their ad-
jacent parts.

was the favorite abode of old Queen Au-
gusta. and Queen Victoria with her con-
sort was once visitor there: while il
was at Erdmannsdorf, in Silesia, that the

selves offer for sale our scrapped battle

No Morals in Dreamland.

From the Bohemian.
But if, as many writer's have suggested,
it is the soul itself that guides the imag-
cry Of dreams, how are We to explain the
fact that in this chaos of ideas and feel
ings there is SO little distinction between
right and wrong that. when dreaming.
we commit acts for which we should
they seem TO be. AS Prof. Hoffman has
said: '"The familiar check OF waking
hours, L must not do it because it would
be unjust or unkind,' never once seems
to arrest us in the satisfaction of any
whim which may blow about our way-
ward fancies." From all of which we
must conclude that the dream realm is a
world that is entirely oblivious TO any
moral sense and that. though il NAV
be true that troubled conscience may
produce or affect our Dreams the dreams
themselves are never burdened with a con-
science.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The amount of trading done at to-
days meeting of the stock exchange
was larger in some issues than has
been current for some days past. but
there was no change in other respects.
speaking generally. Prices remained
about the same, and while there was
quite a. shading off in the case of gas
stock. vet recovery was made from
the low level at first reached. Yester-
days gas sold as low as q: today 1t
sold down to 10, and then recovered to
76as.
At the outset of the trading the buy
er bought on a declining scale from
76. and the seller followed the single
buyer as far as 75. The supply from
that source then ceased and the bid Oh
- resulted in no further trading
From another source the same ouSer
gathered in stock on an ascending
scale to 75Ta. when the trading ceased
until after the call. There was no gen
eral trading. 1t is concluded from the
general character of the current trans
actions in the stock that the principal
buyer of the security during the past
few weeks has accumulated about all
the so-called floating stock that is oil
the market.
With that buyer eliminated from the
market and his support not renewed, 1t
is a question what would happen to pres
ent prices. The high of the present
movement was reached Monday last,
when 791e was paid, so that as compared
with the low. which is that Of today. the
temporary slump has only been about
four and half points.
In the event the general idea. is We'll
founded that current figures are only JUS
titled by Legislation being secured en-
powerng the company to increase its
capital stock. then there is to be another
long session of waiting. provided the I'M
preston Of the present situation of the
matter before Congress Is correct. The
general idea now Is that there will be no
action taken at this session, and 1t is
not likely to be taken up at the extra
session, so that it will be next winter be-
fore anything can be done.
After the call number of transactions
were recorded and sale figures as high
as 76as were reached. The aggregate OF
the transaction was 800 shares.
Mergenthaler held its own, and most
of the transactions were at the high point
Of yesterday. which was 20. At the close
that was the asking price.
Union Trust Company's stock sold at
136. the best figure during the current ac-
tivity in this security. The bid at the
close was 134 and the asking price 13I.,
The stock of the Dime Savings Com
pany, which amounts to 100000, has
