Weekly Market Review.
Cotton—The market was quiet, with
fluctuations confined to a narrow rang*’.
New York closed op Thursday over the
holiday, and prices were some two or
three point, lower. After the close of
New York, however, Liverpool turned
strong, and advanced smartly. Indicating
a higher market early in the week. It
can scarcely be said that crop accounts
are better, for the Texas drought contin
ues; but at the same time there are fewer
complaints from the section east of the
Mississippi. Generally speaking, prospects
are not so brilliant as they were a month
ago, but the crop seems more advanced
than usual. The bureau report on the
10th will probably show a moderate reduc
tion in the average condition, which will
doubtless still be pretty high. So far there
are no Indications of a renewal of the
speculation in the summer months; the
effect of the strong statistical position
being in a measure offset by announce
ment of curtailed consumption by stop
ping of eastern mills. We may assume
that there Is at present a large short In
terest In the whole list. A considerable
part of this Interest will take fright on
the appearance of any menacing strength.
The recent sudden firmness of Liverpool
and the persistence of unfavorable reports
from Texas may infuse such strength dur
ing the coming week and cause more or
iess of a flurry.
Grain and Provisions—Wheat was quiet;
It advanced over 2c from early prices, but
ruled easier later, and closed only a small
fraction higher. Upon the whole, crop
accounts are fairly good. the government
report on the 10th is expected to give some
idea of the yield. The present prospects,
added to the visible supply and supposed
farmers’ reserves, do not attain propor
tions sufficient to Justify the low prices
now prevailing. There was a large reduc
tion in the world’s visible supply, and. al
together, wheat seems getting Into a
healthier position.
Corn and oats easy and still lower a
fraction, owdng to fine crop conditions.
Provisions were fairly steady all the
week until Friday, when the bears took
advantage of the dull state of the market,
and indulged in a raid toward the close,
breaking pork 30c and ribs 10 points.
Stocks are very heavy, but prices should
now be pretty close to the long-looked for
bottom. Wm. T. Williams.
Y'islble Supply of Cotton.

BANKER CLEWS’ VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street.
New ?ork, July 3.—During the past week
the “bear” element has found a fruitful
source of selling in the exciting reports
relating to the prospective Chicago con
vention. Between the wild excitement of
the silver delegates, the plots of Altgeld
for controlling the convention, and the
unwise and feeble tactics of certain of
the eastern sound money leaders, It has
been found easy to break prices by vigor
ous short selling; and the fall in prices
for the week has therefore been consid
erable. The sales, however, have been
almost entirely by professional operators.
Private Investors have shown no disposi
tion to part with their securities; and
London, in spite of the weakness here,
has evidenced a recovery of confidence by
taking one hundred' thousand shares of
stock, besides a good amount of bonds.
The “bears” have found It possible to
shake out a considerable amount of stock
carried on margins; and that success has
been the main cause of their persistence.
These operations have produced a fever
ish feeling, and have naturally fostered
the prevailing distrust. This unsettle
ment is likely to continue through the
Chicago convention and may quite possi
bly be aggravated by Its exciting devel
opments. After that, the case of stiver
goes before the people for four months
of earnest discussion previous to the pop
ular verdict at the elections; pending
which there will be less material for the
creation of speculative sensations.
Rarely, In the history of national elec
tions, have the people been called upon
to choose between more vital Issues; and
it Is to the last degree important that
there should be a clear conception re
specting the interests at stake. The pub
lic choice Is between the continuance of a
basis under which gold or Its equivalents
may he demanded In the settlement of
all contracts; and a basis under which
silver dollars alone would be used In pay
ments; such dollars being sixteen times
THE MORNING "NEWS: MONDAY, JULY r, 1890.
the weight of the gold dollar. At the
present value of silver bullion, the silver
dollar would need to weigh about thirty
times the weight of tn gold dollar. In
order to make the two colas of equal
value. It follows, therefor*, that if, as
demanded by the stiverites. any holder
of silver bullion can have his metal mint
ed Into dollars at the rate of sixteen
weights of the white metal to one of the
yellow, the dollars so coined would have
an intrinsic or metallic value of only
about one-half that of the gold dollar.
It is proposed that this deteriorated dol
lar shall be coined without limit, whether
from silver Imported or that coming from
the home mtnes. It is also proposed that
these dollars shall be a legal tender to
any amount in the liquidation of con
tracts. Under this scheme, the United
States would stand exposed to an Issu ?
of stiver dollars limited only by the world s
entire current production and Its accum
ulated stocks of coined silver.
What would prove to be the deprecia
tion of the silver dollar, under such con
ditions. it is impossible to tell. One of
the first effects of the change would b
for the European nations to exchange, as
far as possible, their 1,890.000.000 of silver
bullion and coin for our gold. Beside*
that, under the natural law by which an
inferior currency always displaces a su
perior one. out supply of gold would leave
the country. In this way. we should lose
our gold circulation and become an ex
clusively silver-paying nation with an at
tendant enormous loss of the only stable
form of money and a consequent contrac
tion of the circulation. We should then
be upon the same monetary basis a*
China, Japan, Mexico and third-rate na
tionalities.
Provided silver kept Its present bullion
value, our dollar would then be worth
a fraction over one-half of its present
valuation; and to that extent the pur
chasing power of our entire paper circu
lation woultT also be diminished. All our
mercantile debts outstanding when this
state of affairs took effect would become
payable In this depreciated money, ex
cepting those made under special contract
payable in gold. The national debt and
the interest upon It would be legally pay
able in the same stuff; inasmuch as the
law authorizing the bonds makes them
payable “In coin,” without stipulation as
to whether the coin shall be of silver or
of gold. The many thousands of millions
of real estate mortgages, and of bonds of
every form, and the interest upon all
corporate stocks, all of which are now
payable In gold or its representatives,
would then become payable In this silver
money of unknown value. Thus, the
enormous sum of national Investments
and the wrealth which they represent
would not only lose their stable gold
standard of value, but would
become enormously depreciated, and
their value would be ever
fluctuating with the oscillating price of
silver bullion. The 2.700 millions of priv
ate deposits In banks and trust compa
nies would suffer In the same way, and so
would the 1,800 millions of the workman’s
accumulations In savings banks, as they
would become payable In the same de
preciated dollar. What would become of
our foreign credit may be Inferred from
the fact that we have from 1,500 to 2,OiK)
millions of Investment securities out
standing In foreign countries, a large part
of which would become payable in this
deteriorated eo^j.
These are aome of the more obvious
consequences that would Immediately fol
low the adoption of unrestricted coinage
of silver In the ratio of 16 parts of the
white metal to one of the yellow. What
would follow, It Is not difficult to foresee.
Our credit system would be paralyzed, If
not ruined. Capitalists who are conducting
vast industrial enterprises would necessa
rily be seriously embarrased. The ruin
of producers would be Inevitable and
great suffering of the employed classes
would naturally follow. Such widespread
disaster would no doubt produce a quick
retraction of the destructive legislation,
and every section of the country would
become clamorous for a return to the
gold basis. But the cost of the experi
ment would be a terrible and lasting pen
alty. The undoing of the mischief would
not be the work of a year or two. It
would take a generation to restore what
we had sacrificed in organization, In rep
utation, In credit, in wealth. In prosper
ity, in industrial advancement, and In
the gold resource needful to give us Shan
cial stability. It does not need to be said
how long we should have to carry the
stigma of political Incompetence which
such a blunder would fasten upon our
principles of self-government. The cause
of free government would be blighted the
world over.
BOOK NOTICES.
"King Mammon and the Heir Appar
ent,” by George A. Richardson. Arena
Publishing Company, Copley Square,
London. Paper, 50 cents. The character
and purpose of this volume Is clearly In
dicated .by its title. It deals In the main
with the question of the inheritance of
wealth. The author contends that the In
heritance of wealth, beyond a certain
modest amount at least. Is a fundamental
wrong, and should be abolished. This
contention he bases on two main princi
ples: The right of every human being to
a fair opportunity to labor; and the
wrong involved In all claims to wealth
that are not based upon some form of
productive effort. The inheritance of
wealth, he contends, violates both these
principles. It violates the former because
a person who inherits no wealth does not
start level with one who Inherits, say,
$1,000,000 or more; and It violates the latter
because a person who Inherits wealth
(“the heir apparent”) obtains it without
any productive effort of his own.
MAGAZINES.
The July number of the North American
Review opens with a most timely paper
on “The Declaration of Independence In
the Light of Modern Criticism,” by Prof.
Moses Colt Tyler of Cornell University.
“After the Coronation at Moscow” Is the
title of an able article by Karl Blind, who
discusses the future home and foreign
policy of the newly crowned Russian czar,
and "Some International Delusions” are
cleverly described by the Rev. Dr. Francis
E. Clark, president of the United Society
of Christian Endeavor. W. E. Smythe,
chairman of the national executive com
mittee of the national Irrigation congress*
writes graphically of “The Stepchild of
the Republic,” while the Hon. Charles W.
Stone advocates his scheme for "A Com
mon Coinage for All Nations.” An im
portant contribution to the literature of
the day Is a carefully prepared essay on
“The Teacher’s Duty to the Pupil,” by
his eminence, Cardinal Gibbons. A consid
eration of the "Right of Privacy” is pre
sented by John Gilmer Speed, and M.
Romero, the Mexican minister to the
United States, furnishes an Important re
view of the differences existing between
“Criminal Jurisprudence, Roman and An
glo-Saxon.” The foregoing do not In
clude all the good things In the number.
North American Review. No. 3 East
Fourteenth street. New York city
The July number of the Arena is fully
up to the usual excellent standard of that
untrammelled and outspoken review. The
Arena is unique among magazines in tts
wide range of subjects. Its Catholicism and
breadth of thought and Its fearlessness In
dealing with all questions affecting the
moral and social well-being of the people.
It is essentially a free lance, recognizing
allegiance only to the broad principles
of truth. Justice, and liberty. Prof. Frank
Parsons continues ’his series of papers on
"The Telegraph Monopoly,” and John O.
Y’elser furnishes a striking and suggestive
paper entitled, “Are We Becoming a
Homeless Nation?" Other articles of gen
eral Interest are “The Imperial Power In
the Realm of Truth,” “Theosophy and H.
p. Blavntsky," "Woman In Society To
day,” “Shall We Have a National Sani
tarium for Consumptives?” “The Keeley
Cure for Inebriety,” “Two Golden Vol
umes.” and “An Interesting Represent
ative of a Vanishing Race,” by the ed-
Mor. The Arena Publishing Company,
Pierce Building, Copley Square, Boston,

The Review of Reviews for July is a
strong political number. The portraits of
prominent men of all shades of politics
are numerous and Interesting, and the

An important, powerful and timely lead
ing article In the Engineering Magazine
for July Is Edward Atkinson’s discussion
of “The Cause and Remedy for
Depression.'.’ The present unfortunate
conditions are clearly traced to uncertain
financial legislation and a deficient reve
nue, and the conclusion enforced Ivy con
cise tabular statements, so admirably ar
ranged that they may be read at .11
glance, so plain that the logical deduction
enforces itself, and so authoritative that
their argument is unanswerable. Mr. At
kinson's rank as an economist and sta
tistician Is unexcelled, an.l the article is a
valuable addition to the ixcellent serlec
of papers on industrial economy appear,
ing in the Engineering Magazine. Engi

The Electrical Review has Just complet
ed Its twenty-eighth volume, which con
tains some of the best newspaper work
ever done by a technical Journal. In ad
dition to giving thoroughly reliable news
of the progress of electrical work In all
Its branches, the Electrical Review has
secured In the past six months a large
number of unusually valuable and exclu
sive articles on Important subjects. It
printed the first official Interview with
Prof. Roentgen and the only interview
with Frof. Salvloni of the University of
Perugia, Italy, who made some very in
teresting and remarkable discoveries on
the Roentgen ray. Eleciricai- Review,

The Bostonian for July opens with the
Important announcement that beginning
with the August number the publication
will henceforth be known as the National
Magazine. This step Is eminently well
advised, as the magazine Itself has for
some time been a coming periodical In the
cosmopolitan field, but has been handi
capped considerably by the local character
of its original name. Under its new title,
however, this prejudice will be done away
with, and the magazine, which promises
much, will soon find Its place in the front
rank of the 10-cent periodical literature.

WOOD PAV EMENTS.
London Hus Accepted Them In Pref
erence to Other Materials.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The Interest of the puldic In the ques
tion of street paving Is shown In many
ways. The bicycle has done wonders, but
beyond that there Is a growing recognition
that the discomfort of bad paving is an
Infliction that the ordinary citizen has
no right to tolerate. It has been said by
a modern traveler that a street In which
the pedestrians cannot converse in com
fort, by reason of the rattle of carriage
wheels over the stones, is nowadays a'
disgrace to any municipality.
This is the keynote of the latest Im
provements In street pavement. The ten
dency is toward a paving which will save
the nerve-racking din that Americans
have too long.looked upon as unavoidable.
The pavement of the future will be prac
tically noiseless. For this purpose all
tests show Indisputably the superiority
of wood, whether considered In reference
to safety, the facility with which a horse
can recover his footing, the speed at
which it is safe to travel, or the gradient
at which It may he laid.
Recently inquiries were made among a
large number of drivers of different kinds
of vehicles In London to ascertain their
opinion in regard to the various pave
ments laid there, with the result that 51
declared In favor of asphalt, 197 in favor
of granite, 219 In favor of macadam and
750 In favor of wood. The general oppo
sition to asphalt both there and here is
significant.
It is condemned by every person who
ever drove a horse. Its surface becomes
uneven causing a side-to-slde motion. It
Is slippery in winter. It Is Inefficient, ex
cept for streets where there is but little
traffic, and it has beeh generally discard
ed in Europe.
The prejudice In this country against
wood only exists because of a lack of
knowle lg-\ As It Is now laid, It Is an arti
ficial -tone pavement with a ioood cover
ing, which can be easily renewed at little
expense. Its a\euage life in London, with
repairing, la about ten years, and ‘t
would last as lon* here. The statement
that it i' unhealthy is unsubstantiated,
me Non don engineer of sewers say a
tout, although some of the streets hav*
horn paved with wood for upward of
ih.rty yearn, no complaint on that head
had reached him.
A Fl u. h bacteriologist has lately given
data no el entirely disprove the Idea of
the mi healthiness of wood paving It is
> r, sene r al use In London and Paris,
and li . Indorsed by many officials who
liaae given careful study to the (iiiesllon
ot naooern city pavements.
MKiARAIU NI’.VV bridges.
It Will He One of the Wonders of the
World.
From the Hnilroad Gasette.
The new metal arch bridge at Niagara
Falls will be noteworthy In two respects.
The new bridge is to be built over the
old suspension structure without Inter
ruption to the traffic on the latter. The
span from end pier to end pier will be
840 feet, making it the largest arch span
In the world. The principal existing all
metal arches are:
• , . _ „ Span. Rise.
Louis I, Oporto, Portugal 566 HO
Garabit, e lance 542 170
Fni -Maria, Portugal ” 525 121
Kails' St. Louis bridge 520 47
Pnuerno, Ilaly 492 123
Washington bridge, New York, 519 91.7
Rochester Driving paik 428 07
The suspension bridge now In use which
bus been familiar to all visitors to the
great natural wonder for forty years will
he kept in place until the new arch is
ready, as It would be impossible to con
st) ui 1 false works over the Niagara gorge
to sustain a structure of this class.
The span will have a rise of 150 feet
from the level of the piers at the skew
backs to the center of tho ribs at the
craln of the arch, which point Is 170 feet
above low water. The depth of the trusses
Is 20 teot, and they will be 68.7 inches
apart.
The bridge will carry one tloor, 46 feet
w.tde, divided longitudinally into three
parts. On the middle portion, which Is 22
feet 9 Inches wide, will be two trolley
tracks. Each side of these tracks will be
a roadway for carriages 8 feet wide,
and outside of these, raised 6 inches from
the level of the roudway, will be foot
paths.
The construction of this remarkable
span Is from plans of L. L. Duck, engineer
of tho new East river bridge, between
New York and Brooklyn, and the author
of the plans by which the suspension
bridge at Niagara was replaced by an
arched bridge.
The approaching or flanking spans will
be 100 leet long on tho American side,
and 210 feet on the Canadian side. The
total meta! in the new structure will be
about 4,d00,000 pounds. Every conildence
Is expressel In Mr. Ruck's ability to carry
out his plans. Tho replacing of the rail
road bridge by another without an hour's
Interruption of business was one of the
engineering feats of a decade.
Tiipse who have not seen the great
structure at Niagara, which It Is Intended
to replace will hardly real'.xe the stu
pendous character of the undertaking.
Imagine the task of replacing the s!m
iPlc-st sort of bridge without interrupting
trafllce, and then add about 1,000 per
cent, to the di'Jleulty. This will give
something of an idea of what confronts
engineers and builders.
In an undertaking of this nature the
slightest error might be productive of In
finite disaster. Every measurement must
be accurate to a hair's breadth. Every
portion of the great arch must perform
Us particular share of the great combina
tion that will be one of tho marvels of
the world.
All that la done must be accomplished
quickly, for an afTair of this nature time
Is indeed money. Every man who can
be utilized will join the army of con
struction. Perhaps no work of recent
years has required, or will yet need, more
•skilled labor. In fact, In bridge building
It Is becoming unsafe to utilize labor of
any other class. The bridge, when com
plete, will, in truth, be a work of genius
in point of construction, as well as point
y>f conception.
The work of preparing the material for
the great structure has been in progress
for some time, as little can be accom
plished in an enterprise of this nature un
til the preliminaries are complete. When
the effort of placing the different parts
of the bridge In position Is begun, Niaga
ra will be one of the busiest of busy
places.
