UNITED STATES IN
 NEED OF MORE GOLD
(NeW York Tribune)

The suggestion made by J. Parke Charming that it might be expedient to stop mining gold for the duration of the war, so that these miners could be used producing other metals, has aroused the ire of William c. Ralston, former assistant treasurer of the United States and now representing the California Miners association MT. Ralston said:
 Tt is hardly necessary to observe that were anyone to suggest that the price of copper, which has been fixed by the government at 23.5 cents, should be reduced to, say. 15 cents pound. MT. Charming, who is consulting en- gineer of the Miami Copper company, would resent such a move, for it would reduce the profits of his company by several million. Yet at the same time he is perfectly willing, apparently, to put the gold miner absolutely out of business.
 Had England not been possessed of large gold reserves. and were she not today producing s2S0, 100000 in gold annually, the position of the allies in the war would be entirely different"
 MT. Ralston told of a meeting at Washington, in the office of the di- rector of the mint attended by repre- sentatives of the treasury department the federal reserve board and by five United States senators from the chief silver producing states of the country.
 When asked whether the govern ment desired the continued production of silver" he said, the director of the mint replied, Yes and added that it wanted silver increased for the reason that no gold would be exported here after under any condition. The gov ernment desires to build up it's gold reserve and needs silver to assist our allies. They want gold here and need continued large production"

Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Peace and its attendant uncertainty loomed larger on the financial horizon today, the stock market udergoing another period of liquidation which encompased nearly all parts of the active list.
 The decline was accelerated by fur ther restriction of credits and the atti- tude of conservative banking interests who encouraged general curtailment of speculation accounts, despite the more hopeful views of leaders in the steel industry.
 Speculative favorites were at lowest prices in the later dealings, but rallied from fractions to F points on the SUD- port then accorded rails and shippings and the further strength of Mexican Petroleum.
 United States Steel was again the pivotal feature, it's extreme decline of 119 points to 977s being quickly fol lowed, however, by a rally in which two-thirds of the loss was recovered.
 Rails yielded 1 to AZ points at their worst, Canadian Pacific displaying ac- tual weakness for 8 time, but in this division losses were half way repaired Southern Pacific and Reading receiv- ing support at recessions. Coppers were heavy, oils and motors irregular and specialties, fertilizers excepted, mainly lower. Sales amounted to 760, ,00( shares

FEATHERS OF BIRD
 ARE CHANGED TO FUR
Scientific American.)

There is a saying among textile ex- perts that anything having two ends may be spun into a thread. but it has taken time to learn just how to spin feathers so that the down will be held in place during the dyeing and finish ing process ond not come out while in
 service.
 This particular problem now seems to
 have been solved, and one of the meth ods for spinning a suitable thread consists in blowing the down upon a center or core thread while the latter is being twisted. The result is that the down is caught up as the thread is be- ing twisted and held very firmly in place.
 This thread is not very handsome in | itself, but when woven into cloth and 1 the cloth secured, dyed and finished by | chemical methods peculiarly suited to 1 the material in hand, the result is a
 fabric which resembles fur, and which
 may appear one of these days under 1 an assumed name.
 1 Thus, a covering provided by Nature | for one animal has been made into
 something resembling that of a second It is then used to supplement the GOV ering of third.
