Footwear la strong said whWe no change Is noted In current prices a genernl advance of 6c la demanded on future business. Notwithstanding the sharp decline In Taw sou en the cotton goods market ha re mained fairly steady, as sellers refuse to make concessions on goods manufactured from nihterial purchased before the decline. Only urgent orders were placed at the blgh level, but the statistical position Is very strong. One of the best features Is the export trade, many mills being sold ahead of this class of business. More sales of heavy wcolena and worsteds are re ported ut former prices, but these goods were made hv mills thut purchased raw material before the recent advance and It is generally Iw Moved In the trade that high clans woolens will hereafter command an advance of at least 10 per cent above last year s prloos.

COOLED BY THE CURRENT Eronomle and Sanitary Advantagea of the leeless Refrigerator. The largest soda fountain In Philadelphia has been operated for several months, serv ing patrons with refreshing drinks at a temperature much lower thnn could be obtained by ordinary methods of icing, and yet not a piece of Ice has been used in it. In other words, after many years of ex perimenting and at a great expenditure of money and gray matter, mechanical refrig eration has been perfected to the point that It is only necessary to touch, a button and secure the desired temperature. This places the soda fountain man, grocer, butcher and the larger household in a posi tion of extreme independence of the ice man. Tlio grocery box of one of the lead ing grocery stores has been operated In the same manner, and the proprietor is en thusiastic about the results obtained. The operation of the box is iot only more economical than with tbe use of ice, but more advantageous In many other ways. The greatest consideration is the sanitary cleanliness of the new order and the sim plicity of its operation. The process of daily charging the box with Ice Is one attended by more or less of a iness. The ice is generally put in the top and In so doing is broken and the pieces scattered around Inside the refrigerator and out. Unclean ice will be quickly the means of fouling the refrigerator, and under the most favorable circumstnnces, unless the interior of the refrigerator is kept scrupulously clean by frequent and thor ough attention, the interior will become tainted, this condition being greatly facili tated by the moisture always present in the Interior. With the electrical refrigeration system this unwholesome condition is avoided. The air of the box is colder than Is ever made by the presence of the Ice and is perfectly dry. The box Is maintained in a moat de sirable state of sanitary cleanliness with very little care and a constant temperature maintained at almost any desired point. The electrical refrigerator is practically a diminutive cold storage plant such as is In operation in almost every city of the country at present. The principle is not a new one, but it is only now that it has been put in such shape that It could be operated by one having no technical knowl edge whatever either of elpctrlclty or of refrigeration. Heretofore, the small Iso lated refrigerating plant has been Impos sible by reason of the fact that Its opera tion required the superintendence of some one specially trained for the business, and this requirement placed this meana of re frigeration out of the reach of the store keeper, dairyman, saloonkeeper and other persona who make use of Ice in moderate quantities. The new system has been ex perimentally tried and Its applicability for these particular uses thoroughly demon strated. The system Is almost automatic. The only attention needed Is to turn the switch throwing the motor Into action at such time as desired and to throw it off again later. As stated above the outfit Is simply a miniature cold storage plant. The whole apparatus is contained within the box in a compartment at one end. It consists of a motor with the necessary compressors and other apparatus for cooling the brine. The part of the refrigerator usually devoted to the reception of the Ice and generally at the top, la taken up by a brine tank which is the cooling medium. With this It is readily possible to maintain a temperature lower than that usually secured by the use cf Ice. It Is necessary to keep this In stallation In operation only a part of the day. For Instance, In the grocery store re ferred to above, the motor is in operation on an average of eight hours a day. When the store Is closed for the night the cur rent Is shut 'off and the cold brine is suffi cient to keep the temperature almost con stant until the starting time of the follow ing morning. This particular refrigerator has maintained a temperature of 84 de grees for twenty-four hours without being In operation. 'This apparatus has been perfected only recently and Is about to be placed on the market In two or three different shapes suited t different purposes to which It la most likely to be put. The electric supply companies, ever alert to discover some means of Increasing the consumption of current, are calling the attention of their patrons to the Innovation, and it Is likely that they will be largely adopted at once.

BOSTON MARKET SHOWS EXCITEMENT Amalgamated (apaer la Leader la Flaetaatlona Golan from 67 to 64 la Early Deals on 'Change. NEW YORK, Dec. . It "tor market opened weak and lower, opening quota tions showing declines of H to 1. Amal gamated Copper opened at 65, a decline of 1 point from last night, and the next sale was at 64"4. Erie opened at 87. a loss of from last night. Soon after the market opened prices steadied and in some of the shares there were good rallies. 1 The opening of the stock market was attended with but little excitement. The feeling was rather more cheerful, although the unsettled conditions Indicated in the quotations tended to check anything like aggressive buying for the rise. Repre sentatives of certain commission houses were reported to be buying moderately of the active list, while others seemed to have a preponderance of selling orders. There were no indications of forced liqui dation. Roome traders were not very active, though seemingly committed for the most part to the short side. The market developed marked strength and activity before the end of the first half hour. In the curb market Northern Securities broke shortly after the opening from 123 to 119H. Montreal and Boston Copper, which bore the brunt of yesterday's panic on the curb, opened at l'i to 1 lower, Inter selling back to The feverlshness was dlfsipated from the later market and prices were lifted steadily upwards on well distributed buying orders. Here and there the buying looked like a resumption of pool operations. The rise over yesterday's closing level ran from a fraction to 2 points. The Pennsylvania group was notably strong. The trading wus not greatly animated, but the advance In prices encountered few selling orders. Amalgamated Copper rebounded strongly to 69. Excitement at Boston. BOSTON, Dec. 9. The Boston stock mar ket opened active and Irregular today. Amalgamated Copper, which closed last night at 66, sold at the outset at 67, but went off almost Immediately to 64. Copper Range opened at 71, last night's closing, and then went up lft- United States Mining declined to 26, and Utah sold at 434, up H from last night. Later, Amalgamated sold as low as 62H, but recovered subsequently when the mar ket steadied, reaching 68, up two points from last night. The rest of the market shared in a slight advance, which devel oped during active trading. Kervnna In lindna. LONDON, Dec. 9. The effects of yester day's fall In the stock market were evi denced at the opening of the Stock ex change today by general nervousness. Americana, however, opened firm, at above parity, subsequently become a little easier, but quickly recovered, and at t: p. m. were again above parity. London financiers who were seen by rep resentatives of the Associated Press gen erally expressed the opinion that the New York market had been topheavy and spec ulative for months, and that yesterday s crumbling of prices was considered In evitable sooner or later. Although the suddenness of tha fall sur prised the market here, there was no panic; In fact there was seme buying at low prices. The London financiers antici pate that the recovery will be gradual. They do not believe that stocks will reach their former prices nor develop much atay Ing power for some time. Decline Atfecta Pari. PARIS. DEC. 9. Prices on the bourse opened today and heavy, becoming tur bulent over the heavy declines in Rio tintos following the rumored drop in cop per. The entire market showed sympathetic depression. Toward the close Rio tintos were heavily offered and the market was demoralized. Rio tintos went off 44 francs. There was a sensible reaction, but the market closed very feeble. Internationals were affected, particularly Spanish rentes. Most International closed lower. Russion imperial 4s were quoted at S92.GO and Rus sian bonds of 1904 at 500.

In the recent railroad accident on the Worcester, Nashua & Portland division of the Boston & Maine at East Barrlngton, N. II.. when an extra freight from Nashua crashed head on into an extra freight from i Portland that was waiting there to meet it, a Boston & Maine car on tne train standing still disappeared and for hours the efforts of the railroad men to find it were unavailing. The accident occurred a little after mid night. From that time until daylight the railroad telegraph operator along the line from the scene of the wreck to Portland made the wires hot in their efforts to trace the missing car, as it waa thought that It might have got uncoupled and Jumped from the train, or had been left at some station. The mystery of the lost car was solved nt dawn, when the car was found driven completely into a car of the Pennsylvania railrond. The cars had been telescoped in such a way that by lantern light they looked like one whole car, and had thus es ' caped notice. j The telescoping of these ears was re garded as remarnaDie, inasmucn as iney were In the train standing still. 8o tre mendous was'the shock thnt the engine of the stationary train was forced back against the Boston & Maine car powerfully enough to send it through the Pennsylvania car.
