THE STOCK MARKET.
CT. L. Watson & Co.)


 The Old World monetary situation is progressing toward relaxation. The Bank of England has raised it's pro- portion of reserve to liabilities to nearly 56 per cent. The reduction in the discount rate of the Imperial Bank of Germany from F per cent. to 5 per cent. is highly significant, while the change of Ministry in France has postponed the new French Government loan until next Spring. At Washington, rapid progress seems to be making. toward definite con- clusion of the debate over the Cur rency Bill and an early vote. If the international monetary phases grow more favorable. the effect will be felt favorab1y in the Stock Exchange markets before it reaches the outside business world. Already the market has shown 9 larger power of resist ence to bear pressure and adverse news than for some time previous. There is a possibility of a temporary money squeeze around the end of the year, but to offset this, the Street is carrying few stocks and the short in terest frequently becomes unwieldy.

Gustavez Eiffel, the celebrated French engineer who designed the tower for the Paris Exposition, the highest structure in the world, was born in Dijon, France, eighty one years ago today. Of late years he has devoted most of his time to study of the problems connected with aerial navigation, and a few months ago the Smithsonian Institution recognized the worth of his efforts in this direc- ton by conferring upon him a Lang ley medal flor his researches relating to the resistance of the air in con nection with aviation
 The designer of the Eiffe1 tower studied engineering at the Paris Cen traI school of Arts and Manufactures. He was only twenty-six when he de- signed the great iron bridge over the Garonne at Bordeaux. In the carry ing out of this contract the compress ed air method of sinking foundation cylinders was used for the first time in any important project. EiffeFs success with these caissons worked a revolution in building, and made him famous among engineers and archi- tects the world over. Later he built the Garabit viaduct, the framework for BarthoIdis Statue of Liberty, the of the Paris Exposition of 1878, and other works in which he manifested remarkable engineering skill.
 It was the huge framework of the Liberty Statue that gave Eiffe1 the germ of the idea which he worked . out in the gigantic iron tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris which was hailed as one of the great wonders of the modern world, and which made his name. a household word among people of all classes in all civilized nations Ever since Babel mankind has aspired to climb or fly upward and the EifeIl Tower made an appea to the imagination that was univer- sal A quarter of century ago when the tower was in process of con struction, the name of EiffeI was or everybody's lips
 The tower was built as one of tht features of the Paris exposition O 1889. The work was commenced il 1887 and was rushed to completion within the specified time. The struc ture, which rises to the height of 1, 900 feet. was built of iron lattice work, and 7,3OO tons of metal wer useo in it's construction. Three set of elevators carry people to the top .-he=e the structure is capped by al immense lantern The cost of tn tower was over a million dollars, tn French government contributing $292.OO0. So great was the popula interest that the fees for 1889 re paid the outlay, and M. EiffeI mad a fortune out of the twenty years lease given him. Many uses hay developed for Eiffel Tower. Its i'm portance from a meteorological poin of view can scarcely be over-esti1nat ed It has enabled the weather ex merits to observe the variation o
