All buying except Hhects and struc tural shapes has stopped ntlrcly. Some prices have weakened under the Influence, but for the most part values have not cone further than they should to re'-estnhllHh thoe ratios that should bo obfetved. No business Is of fered and thcie Is no need to cut prices, thetefoie prices aio not being severely cut. The quotations are pure ly nominal. The Humes Indicate the make, but at the same time no busi ness is beliiff done at tile quotations. Pioduceis frankly my that the market Is nt such and such a flguie, but add that they are not taking any business at the price. The chief unison, as stated. Is that none Is offeied. Billets aie piaetically out of the market, but could be bought for less than JS1, though hardly as low as J!0. At the -ami- time a big older, say for thousands of tons, might be bud pretty rloe to the lower figure.

The woik of taking up the Hi-pound tails and laying 00-pound rails has been carried on by the Kiie for some months, and is still to be prosecuted, despite the fact that some of the ialls that are being lifted are without a Haw.

Number of Men Out Is Being Rap Idly Reduced. Philadelphia. May 10. The older Is sued yesterday by tho executive boaid of the Allied Building Trades Unions council, calling fiom wotk all members wbeieer brotherhood carpentets un employed, appears today to have had a siluloiy elfccl on the cause of the allied council. While the numhei of strike! s lias been considerably in ciea.ed in consequence of this order, contractois on large operations seem disposed to aid the allied council. As on evidence of this, five general con tractors today notified the brotherhood e.'irpenteiM in their employ that unless they aflillated with the allied council their services would be disposed with. Tlie carpenters, who numbered about 125. at once expressed their vlllingneis to become menibeth of the council, and on their piomise to join wcie'furnlshed with allied council cards permitting them to continue at work. Secretary Joeph 15. Allen, of the allied council, today said that from the business agent's report so far receled. he Is led to bel!ec that there will lie numerous defections fiom the i.mks of the Hiotlierhood of Caipcnteis am! Joinois. Mr. Allen estimates the number of stilkers at ll'OO, but h.iys this number is being rapidly reduced. AMERICAN FLOUR IN MALTA. Giowlnp, Tiade Pavoied by Island Government. Washington, May 10. United States Consul John II. fSiout, at Valletta, in forms the state department that thPre Is a rapidly gi owing demand for American flour in Malta, which is due in gieat part to the recent estnbllsh ini nt of direct steami-hlp communica tion with tho United States. The Alalia government, the consul says. Is disposed to favor the Impor tation of tin wheat itself, rather than flour, it being necessary to have at nil linn's a supply of wheat on hand for naval and mllltaiy purposes. NoiV that certain legulatlons governing th" Importation of flour, which have, boiii under consldeiatlun by the local gov ernment of Valletta, have been satis facto! il prepaiecl and adjusted, quite n huge Importation of this commodity Is t'Npectod fiom the United States. COPPER MINE STRIKE. Kearsarge Employes Demand In- crease in Wages. Houghton, Mieh.May 10. The miners and Hammers of the Keaisnrge copper mine struck yesterday for the same art-vanec- in wages granted to tho em ployes of the Oseeola mine Jlay 1. They ictuined to work today on a promise that Captain V. E. Purnall, superintendent of the property, would cotmlder the demands Friday. The Kearsaige employs about S00 men. It is likely the men will he gi anted part and possibly all of their demands, which aveiage about an S per rent. Increase In wages and a de. ctease of six hours weekly on the day shift. Night shift men alieady woik fifty-four hauls weekly. BRICKYARD WAR ENDS. Manufactmeis Willing to Sell to Employers of Union Labor. Chicago, May 10. The manufactuiers and dealers In brick nnd mill supplies have opened their plants and no longer icfiiFO to sell material for building to citizens or conttaetois employing union labor, Less than 300 men had been em ployed In the Cook county brick yards since the outlneak of the labor war. More than 2,000 men were at work yes teiday. Fear of a general strike of trade unionists, as a possible result of the labor convention next Sunday, Is be lieved to bo ono of the powerful fac tors looking toward a settlement all along the line. o HAWAIIAN SUGAR SHIP SUNK. In Collision in a Tog with British Ship Argus. Astoria, Ore., May 10. Thp British ship Argus, Captain Hunter, In ballast from Port Angeles to Portland, which has Just anlved at quaiantlne, collided with and sank tho Hawaiian ship Iolanl, sugar laden, bound from Hllo to San Francisco, in a denso fog on the night of May 3 off San Francisco, The crew of fifteen men and four pas sengers on tho Iolanl wero rescued by the Argus, which was not badly dam aged. Tho Iolanl and her cargo weie fully Injured, PRICE OF HORSES HAS GONE AWAY UP THEY ARE NO LONGER A DRUG ON THE MARKET. The Principal Reason for Tis Is the Large Drain on American Horses and Mules to Meet the Demand Which the Wars in Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines and South Africa Have Caused Sale of Horses This Spring Was Double That of One Year Ago. Let ye who have nags to sell pro pure to sell them now. Hoi.vs of every class, It Is announced, have In cicased from 125 to 130 per cent. In value in the last year, and Judging from piesent Indications they will con tinue to increase In value for the next two or three years. Horse Dealer Waldron got $i!2.r for an ordinary pair of drafters at his recent sale In this city nnd other horses brought corres ponding prices. The same Is true of mules, and despite the assertions ot bicycle and automobile manufacturers that these machines arc displacing hoinos, the horse dealers, by statistics they have collected locally, show that they arc not. The causes given for the Increase In prices are as follows: First, tho large purchases of horses nnd mules for use In thu Philippines, Cuba nnd Porto Hlro by the United States govern ment. Second, the drnln upon the sup ply caused by the large shipments to South Afiica, Third, that horses ars again popular among the richer class of persons In the country. Fourth, that there has been a great revival of Interest In trotting nnd tunning rac ing. SALKS DOUBLE. Aeeoidlng to the Philadelphia Times, the sales of horses this spring weie double those of last May. It was also said that the United States and Eng land had purchased 187.D00 horses and mules in .Missouri, Texas, Kentucky and Tennessee and tho other horso breeding states during the past three yais, nt an average price of JUti each. This would make a total of $21,462,500. the latgest amount ever pnld for hor ses and mules In the sumo time in the history qf tho country. E.xccpt In thoroughbred i mining horses and animals that are not suit able foi military purposes, these states have practically been cleaned out of silable animals. The agents of the British govern ment are now operating In the north west, Maine, Vermont and other east ern state". Tl.cy have collected 2,700 moie horses, which will be shipped fiom New York and Montreal next month For these animals It was said an average of $13 was paid, and about a thousand moie will go f om BUtl inore soon, and the agents aio trying to get as many as possible of the S5. 000 horses still wanted, through Phil adelphia dealers. More than $'5,000,00') was offered for this number of ani mals. Unless the British agents nro v. Illii'g to accept the less desirable tango animals from 'Wyoming, Mon tana and th other wstcrn states the demand cannot be filled. FOREIGN SHIPMENTS. English agents have shipped a to tal of 12,875 horses and mules from New Orleans, 4,000 mules and horses fiom Charleston, 3,."00 from Galveston, and nlso several thousand from New York and Montreal. The exact num ber, however, cannot now be told, as statistics have not yet been made. The United States Is still purchashlng horses for the Philippines, which are being shipped by the way of San Francisco and Vancouver to Manila. The sales to erstwhile bicycle enthu siasts arc said to have doubled. Two or three years ago cab, light draught and ordinary carriage horses sold for from $10 to $IOi each. Trot ters, saddle horses, coach horses and medium draught horses sold fiom $S0 ti $12S. Thoroughbred trotters, saddle horses and other fine animals, when they could b sold at all, brought only from $100 to $.100, except In long pedl- Our regular customers occasionally call at other stores to see what they can do for them. We've no objection to make to that. It's. only right and proper to mate comparisons and find out whether we are up to mark" or not. We never suffer by comparison, and the fact of having compared Our Clothes with others only makes our customers feel better satisfied. So we say, "Look where you will, but don't buy without seeing Ours, first or last." Boyle & Mucklow 406 Lackawanna Ave. Ere strains. The prices are double and treble these figures today. Cab, carriage, light draught, saddle and trotting horses have become scarce, because thty are most needed for cav alry, mounted Infantry and field attll lery. Couch and medium and heavy draught animals have been put Into tho attlllery, aimy tmnspottatlon and In the hospital corps. The mules have gone Into the army transportation ser vice with the draught horses. Most of those from Kentucky, .Missouri and Texas nro now parking loads on their bicks or dragging wagons through the mud of Iho Philippines, or among the kopjes of South Africa. The Shetland and other ponies nnd the sniall but wiry broncho of some of tha. western states seem to bo the only class of animals that are worth little more than they were before the bicycle crane broke out and before the two wars were begun. As nearly five years will be required to teplace the horses that have al ready been sent to foreign countries, and even longer to replace those that are going during the next year, horso breeding has begun to boom. It Is said that hundreds ot thousands ot dollats have been reinvested In stock farms during the piesent spring. NORMAL SCHOOL TRUSTEES. Appointed by State Superintendent of Public Instruction.
