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.

to see how they aie to gel that rate.
If (onsumiis do nut como back sufll
I'lently, Jit lictsemei will not rule dur
ing the second half of the year. The
best side to the market is that the
waiting pole Is 'ilmust at an end.
Huyeis cannot wait muili longer; some
are ciowded now for muteil.il and
must come In. The iiiin situation Is
good for tho found! y Irons. The market
is leally lowei than produeeis will ac

The attempt of some small Kastein

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.
The object Is to have a track that will
stand up under the heay travel and
will make the passenger tiatiw easy

Tho thief aim Is In get the load in

PHILADELPHIA STRIKE.
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.

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.
