AN ANCIENT RACE DYING OUT.
Vcddahs, OF ceylcn Regarded as Rep
resenting the Stone Age.

The oldest inhabitants Of Ceylon are
passing away. These are the famous
Veddahs.
Fifty years ago it was estimated
that 5000 of them were still living in
the forests, but DR.. Max Moszkowski,
who has recently visited them, says
there are only so or 60 of them still
alive and that a few more years Will
see the end of their race.
The Veddahs have interested an
thropologists because they have been
regarded as the best living types OF
the man of the stone age.
The attitude of the Cingalese toward
them is remarkable. They hold the
poor creatures in great honor and rank
them as belonging to the highest caste
in the island The reason is that they
are reputed to have descended from
the ancient demons or spirits that
we're the original possessors Of the
island.
These nomad, hunting people, never
leaving their forests. living under
trees and in caves, without knowl-
edge OF pottery or any other art ex-
cept that of making bows and arrows,
are perishing because Of their way of
living and of their inability to stand
up when stronger folk are pressing
closer around them. They are exact.
ly what they were centuries ago when
people of India came, and conquered
their green island.

special.
New York, Feb. 20-Money, is easy
everywhere. Not only in New York
but in Paris, Frankfort and Berlin
the tendency of interest rates is still
downwards This, of course, is main
~ due to the depression prevailing
in commerce and industry in all parts
of the world. AS a result capital is
accommodating and diligently seeking
every form of safe and profitable en-
ployment. The effect of this situa-
ton upon the security markets is
marked. In the first place, it causes
good demand for high grade invest
ments from conservative Investors
and Institutions, who have more re
gard for preservation of principal
than either dividends or speculative
profits. At the same time another
class of buyers, viz, the general pub
lie continues to abstain from the
market, partly because of the dull
ness of business and dimunition of
profits lessons their purchasing atil'
ity, and partly because they rccog-
nize that the prices of average stocks
are much too high in view of existing
conditions. The insiders and big
Imarket leaders have successfully re-
sisted any important decline thus
far owing to the abundance of cheap
money. There are reasons for believ-
ing. however that those whose pol
icy it was to support the market and
resist natural tendencies have ac-
cumulated all, if not more than, the
stocks they desire, and that in the
absence of buyers their position Is
anything but satisfactory one, NOT
outstanding their unquestioned finan'
cal strength.
Resist Natural Tendencies.
For some months past all the re-
sources and skill of the great lead
ers have haon concentrated upon the
purpose of resisting natural tenden-
dies. Considering the great shrink
age in railroad traffic, and the I'M
questioned dullness in business,
prices ought to have undergone a
considerable reaction. Such has
been the course in all previous panics
and it is difficult to appreciate why
the results should be any different
nov. There is no doubt the recovery
following the rebound after the panic
was too violent. having been unduly
stimulated by the intlationary effect
Of cheap money and the powerful CO.
operation of great fnanciers.
Steel Prices Being Cut.
II is this lack of confidence among
buyers that has much to do with the
present inertia of business. Nearly
al lines of business today are eX-
ceedingly quiet, the only signs OF
healthy activity being where. for in
stance. in cotton goods, a thorough
reimbursement has already taken place
Iron and steel prices are now being
reduced to still lower levels. But

Electricity as a Carrier.

Does an electric current when pass
ing through a metal conductor cause
any transportation of particles? 1t is
we'll known that 1t does so In the
liquid conductors known as electro
lytes: in fact, such common opera
ton as electroplating depends entirely
upon this action. To test the matter
a recent experimenter passed an elee-
trio current continuously for a whole
year through a conductor composed
partly of copper and partly of alumni

they were taken apart and examined,

needless to say, though this has at
tracted many orders, buyers are
still unsettled because action has
been deferred, and the market has
/ not vet been sufficiently tested By
competition between buyers and sell
ers. Moreover. the dullless in trade
is being further aggravated by tariff
| citation. While tariff talk does not
lessen the amount of food consumed,
clothes worn or shelter required still
the uncertainty has a restraining ef-
! feet upon new ventures and strength
ems the determination Of buyers to
preserve a hand-to-m0uth policy. No
doubt when the tariff question Is set
! tied business will instantly take a
vigorous start in consequence of the
accumulation of deferred orders; so
that the total volume Of business
over an extended period will have
suffered little or nothing During
the interval, however much hesta-
ton will prevail and must be endured
until the tariff revision is settled.
| Demand Increasing.
On the one hand, we have uni
yersal ease in money and prospects
OF its continuance until the autumn
in spite of government Withdrawals
of deposits, gold exports and possible
| Increased demands incidental to the
first of April Tire good inquiry for
bonds and high class stocks is GER
tainly encouraging. LOndor has
! been a larger investor Of American
securities than for some time PAST
and the general strength cf the + +
eign markets will. of cour-c. exert a

other hand. the prospects of cen
| tilued dullness in trade in the
United States, the outlook for irritat-
| ing tariff discussion and the fact that
neither securities nor commodities
have yet undergone ali adequate de
cline all tend to unsettlc confidence
in the future of the stock market.
| The new administration will shortly
| by sworn in, and a reassuring and
encouraging message is confidently
expected from President-clect Taft.

The effect Of this however, can only
! be temporary unless there should be
a material change in other vital con
ditions. TIE natural tendency OF
prices is to seek a more normal
level and the situation would be I'M.
Questionably benefited by gradual
re adjustment. 1t Is simply a ques-
toin OF how long artificial resistance,
powerfully aided by cheap money,
can hold in check natural forces.
The market is quite likely$to witness
sharp rallies on any favorable de-
velopments of Importance. but the
prevailing tendency must be towards
lower level until the tariff is s t.
tied and business begins to show
signs of geuine improvement
