day: 1.-THE stock market had very
firm undertone all morning, but showed
tendency TO quiet down. This is
natural, in view of the approaching
holiday. Prices might we'll ease off
some, but we do not think they will
lose much ground. They look like
closing higher than yesterday. Senti-
ment has been greatly improved since
the recent break and great many
stocks have gone into strong hands.
Investors have made very heavy pur-
chases and the floating supply is rela-
lively much smaller"

NO LOSS POSSIBLE
EVERY CARE 10 EXERCISED IN
UNITED STATES MINTs.
The Smallest Particles Of Gold and
Silver That Escape in the Mlntina
Are Recovered Through Varl-
Gus Processes.

It has been aptly said that no miser
guards his treasure more religiously
than Uncle Sam watches over the
precious metals that pass through his
mints. Then, too, the precautions
against waste are almost innumerable.
Every evening in each Of the mints
Of the United States the floors Of the
melting rooms are swept cleaner than
a New England housewives kitchen.
The dust is carefully put aside and
about once in two months the SCOT
scraped from every fue is transferred
to the same precious dust heap. This
is then burned, and from its ashes the
government derives no uncomfortable
income. The earthenware crucibles
used in melting are employed no more
than three times. They are crushed
beneath heavy rollers, and in their
pourous sides are found fakes of the
precious metal.
In the melting room, when the
casters raise their ladies' from the
melting pots, a shower of sparks ny
from the molten surface of the metal.
For the most part they are bits Of in
candescent carbon, but clinging to
the carbon is often a minute particle
Of metal. Lest such particles should
escape, the ashes and clinkers below
the furnaces are gathered up at night.
! This debris is ground into powder by
means OF a steam crusher and then is
sold to a smelter, like ordinary ore,
at a price warranted by the asseyer.
The ladies' that stir the precious
metal, the big iron rods, the strainers
and the dippers, all are tested in a
most curious fashion. After consid
cradle use, they become covered with
thin layer of oxidized silver, closely
resembling a brown rust. The imple
ments are then laid in baths Of a
solution Of sulphuric acid, which eats
away the iron and steel and leaves
the silver untouched.
Gradually the ladle, or whatever the
implement is, will disappear, and IN
its place remains a hollow silver
counterpart of the original, delicate al
spun glass. These fragile casts re
produce the ladle with perfect accur
acy in all its details, although theii
surfaces are perforated with innum
cradle little holes. Scarcely have the!
been nodded, however, before they ar
cast into a crucible, to become in TIM
dollars, quarters and dimes.
In one corner Of the melting room
there is large tank, into which new
ly-cast silver bars are dropped ami
left to cool. Infinitesimal fakes o
silver scale on and rise to the surfac
of the water, which acquires tn
metallic luster Of stagnant poo
Here is silver that must not be lost
so beneath the pipe through which tn
tank is emptied is banked a thick lay
er OF mud. AS the water filter
through it. the mud retains the pr'
cious residuum. Four times a yea
this mud is removed, and each el
pertinent diseloses the fact that som
$50 has been saved.

Cincinnati, o., Sept. 21.-Favor-
ing river and harbor improvement
but attacking the pork barrel
method of making appropriations for
the work, President Taft today made
the principal address at the opening
of the Ohio river dam. He discussed
the relative speed of river boats and
railroad trains and said he saw no
reason why boat schedules could not
be as regular as the schedules of
trains.
The piece-meal system of river i'm
provement and appropriations he
considered inadequate. He said
such a system encouraged other Sec
tions with unnecessary projects to
demand appropriations.
"The cost of the improvement OF
the Ohio river" said the president,
will be upwards of $4,000, 1000.
The plan is to appropriate sufficient
money annually to complete the
work within IL years. wish thai
congress had arranged to expend the
money on the less time and COM
plete the work more quickly. The
completion is not alone important
for its immediate benefit CONNER
cially, but is also important to vim
dicate discourage further invest
ments of this kind in other direc-
tions. One great hindrance to the
success of the improvement of water
ways has been the delay incident to
the completion Of each project. AS
waterway improvement should he

New York, Sept. 21.-That the con-
test for control or the Saratoga Re-
publican convention is to be sharp is
indicated by late returns from the
primaries nominating delegates. 1t
probably will take the official count
to decide whether Roosevelt or Vice
President Sherman will control. It
is not likely, according to the latest
figures, that the majority will be more
than 10 or Is votes either way.
William Barnes, Jr., of Albany,
claims that Sherman's majority will
be 55. Lloyd c.. Griscom, chief lieu
tenant for Roosevelt, claims the col
onel will control the convention by
at least 20 votes. The fastest esti-
mates made by politicians here close
ly watching the contest, show that
the regulars can count on 492 dele
gates. 1t requires sos to control.
Roosevelt, according to this estimate,
cannot count absolutely on more than
ATS delegates.
