Side by side wlib ibis great increase of power to the motors, and of equal importance perhaps in its bearing on the general question, we must next consider the great fall in the price of alumi- alum, together with the progress which has been made in the study of its valuable alloys, such as the siloy with about 5 per cent of copper.
Within my recollection the price of aluminium has fallen from gu'nea to about two shililagathe amace weight. A very maderata faxiber fall in price-far less than the above great and recevi fall of go per cent—and a litle farther corres properties of these alloys, will causa alumielam alloys to difra steel out of the market for many Important engineering purposes; such as the new metals will be of cardiom importance to serial navigation, as they are the material upon which we must rely for the construction of the fiyleg-machines of the future.

There is a decidedly better feeling in the market, no doubt brought about to a great extent. by the course that Exchange has now taken, thus dispelling the fear that has been fo the Native mind during the last few months that much higher rates were imminent. Coniquently they are mors willing to buy now, having come confidence that the market will not be likely to decline in the near future, or that cheaper goods than now obtainable are liable to be imported. Ready money is not yet quite exhausted, a fair proportion of the transactions being for prompt carb, that is before the rettling day, but as menti ned last week, there ly'n greater tendency to sell for more extended delivery if slightly better terms can be arranged.

The largest numbers of workers are Russian peasants, who, leaving their family behind, started to work on the Hoe, and returning only when severe weather Interrupted the works for some time. No other country could have found labourers under the same conditions. Convict labour was size employed at a few points, successfully s Irkutsk and neighborhood, but unsuccessfully in other parts, while Manchurian, Chinese, and Korean labourers have also been hired..

It is high time that really competent and well-informed mechanical engineers should follow the example of Mr. Maxim and Professor Langley by turning
