49, bales to December I. showing bales
glnned for the period OF $50, 421.
Ihis report was merely a stand Off in
the opinion of the majority OF traders Ii
was said that anything under SOC. 900 bales
would be bullish, but sentiment at the
outset was against the market, and the
ring sold freely with the large spot in
terests buyers. However. their purchases
were limited and prices lost to Ii points
within the first fifteen minutes. After
the call the absorption was of a better
character and prices rallied to points
from the early decline.
AZ the close the market was steady
with prices net decline OF 14d20 points

board, which notifies him that the line IS within the range of justification. He then presses key which sets in motion mechanisms that measure the line, trans init the measurements to the magazine which holds the spaces that are in turn released and drop through tubes which have been previously inserted in the line. The tubes are then automatically with drawn, leaving the line a proper length. The line is then transferred to the cast ing mechanism, where a water jacketed mold is interposed between it and metal pot. The matrices are brought against the mold on one side and the metal pot on the other. All are securely locked. A pump is then set in action, forcing the metal into the mold and the depressions in the matrices. These parts are left locked for a very short time, allowing the metal to cool, after which the matrices and pot move away from the mold, allowing thes mold to be carried to one side and the slug elected. Simultaneously the matrices are elevated and carried to the distributing mechanism. This mechanism takes the matrices one at a time and presents them to a small com bination box that automatically sets the switches from series of holes in the ma trix, so that by an accelerated motion they are impellea into their proper places. This method of distribution has an advan- tage over any distribution now in use, as it returns the matrices to all portions of the magazine at an equal speed.
 The method of casting by the use of a water cooled mold and special metal pot construction gives a more homogeneous slug than is ordinarily found. Our quad ing device is a great time saver. This will automatically quad out, or make blank, all or any portion of line within the scope of the machine. It will also be noted that the letters cast on this slug have deeper counters, and that the distance from the shoulder of the slug to the face is greater than is commonly used. These advantages will be readily appreciated by those familiar with the art of printing.
 The machine occupies a floor space of 22x44 inches, weighs little over 15OO pounds, and is the simplest machine of it's class in construction that we know of. It is not our purpose to make any compar ative statements regarding this machine, but we will be glad to gointo the merits of the machine with any one who is par ticularly interested. We believe we have good, sane business proposition, and 1t is our hope that we will merit the con- fidence of the people of Bridgeport, and that you will ultimately point with pride to a typesetting machine that is Made in Bridgeport"
 The type for this article was set up on the above described machine in the rooms of the Bridgeport Board of Trade for this paper.

''The Panama canal is between the United States and Canada" Brazil iS bounded on the south by Usury ana on the north by Gummia"; "Cicily is north of Australia; Gret Briton is in Southern Asia: 'The dividing line be- tween Scotland and England is Ma son and Dixon's line"; Mona Lisa is an island north of Australia"-these swers given to questions by applicants for admission to the United States Naval Academy. It is fair to- assume that, the candidates guilty of enter taining such transformation did not pass the entrance examinations. If they did. however. it is to be hoped that today's graduating class will in- c1ude only young men having a more exact knowledge of geography.
