stocks, which was the feature Of the Sc
curlty market yesterday and the day be-
fore, was resumed to-day, but on a some
what larger scale. The market was

There did not seem 10 be any decided
support TO the market. except in a few
instances. although. on the other hand
pressure 10 sell was not violent Rock
Island preferred stocks formed perhaps
the most prominent exception OF the kind
noted. the reason for this being the fact,
not commonly wen understood. that the
floating supply Of the stock In Wall street
has become very small
Better Tone I'm London
There was a better tone 10 the London
market. and the discount on the new
Russian loan there felI from q Of Per
cent 10 = 10 per cent Presumably the
more encouraged feeling IN London was
due 20 the prospect that the Bank OF
France. now that the Russian loan AFFAIR
is over, viii no longer interpose any OBJ
stacie 10 the efforts Of the Bank Of Eng
land 70 build up its reserve.
The only announcement OF financial in
terest to-day was that OF a decrease Of
ZS5s in the number OF freight cars in
use on the lines Of the railroads report
ing TO the American Railway Association
This decrease compares with an increase
Of 10ooe cars reported on January for
the fortnight preceding; and although the
decrease IN the last two weeks has been
little. It is still a favorable rather than an
unfavorable indication as regards bust
ness conditions.
IndiGerent to Bank Statement.
The weekly hank statement was re-
ceived with the same minimum OF atten-
tien IN the financial district that has
long been given TO il. owing 10 the I'm
Hense plethora Of idle money. In that
portion Of the statement showing the
actual state OF clearing house banks
the close Of business on Friday after

effect OF the withdrawal Of money from
the banks BY the trust companies as
necessitated by the new reserve law re-

Municipal Bonds Sell Wen.

The leading sales Of munlcipals last
week included one OF s1.oSa.Ooo OF 81 Per
cent bonds by the city Of Springfield.
Mass. at I02-Is. That figure was appre-
ciably better than the large Eastern
State and city bonds are selling for al
this time One reason for this IS the
greater restraint which the smaller or
second-clasS cities exercise upon their
1otations as compared with the larger
or frst-claSs cities The result Is that
the credit OF the former IN view Of the
investment world Is really better than
that Of the latter
Whatever may be said about the sol
vency OF the finances OF our largest
cities. the judgment Of the bond-buying
market leaves no doubt as 10 how they
stand IN comparison with other muni-
cipalities in which the creation Of a long
term debt IS a matter Of much more seri-
oUs consideration, and in which the sink
ing fund requirements are apt 10 be
vitality respected. The sale OF sso0. CO
bonds by the city Of indianapolis a. 81
per cent. running thirty years. and OF
So000 by Cuyahoga County. In which
Cleveland is located. comprises the more
important awards Of the week. IN add
ton 10 the Jersey City sale Of s.. .2ea000 OF
per cent forty-year bonds a. 1896 for
ss0oe9o. and 1ozS5 for sSe0008
The sale OF nearly 100000 city rev
enue bonds at 3at and 81 per cent shows
how much better the market for a shOri
term loan Is now than g year ago, when

Mountains Made Of Skeletons.

Many Of the most imposing mountain
ranges Of the globe are largely made
up Of limestones composed almost en-
tirely Of the hard parts Of animals
which once lived in the sea, the most
important of these rock building forms
being Of a very small size. The solid
earth is, in fact, colossal graveyard,
and many Of its most imposing eleva:-
lions are stupendous tombstones.
The chalk making up the white cliffs
to which England owes her name of
Albion Uatin, albus, white) is chiefly
composed Of microscopic shells closely
resembling those now found at the
bottom Of the sea. Hills and mountain
ranges largely made of this chalk eX-
tend from Britain and France round
the shores Of the Mediterranean and
away into Asia and are largely repre-
scented In other parts Of the world.
Even more remarkable is the limestone
of which the pyramids are built.
This is chiefly made up Of coin shap.
ed shells (nlummulites), partly respon-
sible, no doubt, for eastern legends of
magic money. The limestone contain
ing them attafns a thickness Of sever
al, thousand feet and is the material Of
which many mountain ranges arr
largely built. Beginning on the west
we have the Pyrenees and Alps, fol
lowed by the Carpathians, Caucasus
mountains Of Asia Minor, north Africa
and Baluchistan and, lastly, the sulei
man mountains, Himalayas and ranges
