Money continued to g0 be open as usual oo to the interior, the sub-Treasury transferring Lo $050.000 to New Orleans and $600,000 to’ Chi- The movement to St. Louls was discon- tinued, with a beneficial effect upon sentiment. The rates for time money hardened decldedly end not much business was done under G per cent iy, and fell to 2 per cent at the last. The ma t for foreign exchange was falrly de- moralized and broke violently under offerings of cotton bills with very light demand for re- mittance. A report which circulated that $1,- 000,000 In gold had been engaged in London for shipment to New York, although not offi- clally confirmed, was generally credited, and formed the basis of an expectation that fur- ther gold would come in. This was the dom- inant influence on the®market, which resulted in advances reaching about a point on a num- ber of the Pacifies. Amalgamated Copper was neglected and heavy, presumably on account of the failure of the mediation committee to effect a settlement on the Montana trouble The advance in money rates continued to restrict the business in bonds, but prices were fairly well maintained, gains alternating about 1y with los Total sales, $1,865,000.

Alyminum lines are now employed for the three longest electrical transmissions in North America. In the longest single line, that from Electra power-house to San Francisco, a distance of 154 miles, aluminum fs the only conductor used. The l44-mile transmission between Col- gate and Oakland is carried out with three. aluminum and three copper wires. For the third transmission in point of length that from Shawinigan Falls to Montreal, a distance of eighty-five miles, three aluminum conductors are employed. From these examples it may be seen that copper has lost its former place as the only conductor to be seriously consid- ered for transmission circuits. ~Aluminum has not only disputed this claim for cop- per, but hi actually gained the most conspicuous place in long transmission lines. This victory of aluminum has been won in hard competition. The decisive factor has been that of cost for a cire cuit of given length and resistance. From the standpoint of cross-sectional copper. The inferiority of aluminum is an area 1s more than offset by its superiority over copper in terms of weight. One pound of aluminum drawn into a wire of any length will have a sectional area 3.33 imes as great as one of equal length. g t a wire pound of copper This follows copper i EH mgtfiffg'
