The Great Strike

Ger such It is known, although
in reality IL is merely quiet and
dignified demand for shorter
hours of labor, has been the di-
rect cause of greatly increasing
the volume OF our trade. This
may seem paradoxioal, in view
OF the fact that the less work
done the less money goes into
circulation, but the fact is 1t is
the first good opportunity that
has for long time presented it
self to the thousands of working
men who toll daily to visit THE
GOLDEN EAGLE CLOTHING Co1r-
PANY in day time and inspect
the rare bargains they have
heard their friends speak of so
often in Mems, Boys, and Chill
dren's Clothing, and as buying
follows the seeing of our goods
(where goods are needed) as nat
urally as the day follows the
night, the result has been most
pronounced increase in our busi-
ness. Nevertheless, we sincerely
hope these labor troubles will
soon be adjusted to the satisfac-
ton Of all parties concerned, and
that the wheels of industry will
hum all the merrier from the
short rest of their enforced idle
ness. We would ask the public
to note the goods and prices dis
played in our windows this
week. We imagine neither can
be beat. You will believe us
when you see for yourself We
keep everything in the Clothing
line, from a ninety-cent Overall
to a EDO Suit for men; from a
fifty-cent pair of Pants to a $40
Suit for a boy.

TIE MARKETa.
Weak Throughout tho Day and Closing
at Lowest Prices.


NEW York, May e.--while labor news
was Of greatest interest to-day, It cannot be
said that IL was q controlling interest be-
cause OF the conflicting character Of the
information. Several stories were in clrcu-
lation regarding the spreading OF strikes
into new fields, like the New York Central
railroad and the anthracite coal fields. Both
stories lost their power, however, when de-
malls were promptly issued by the officials
of both interests The market was irregular
at the opening this morning, although the
majority Of the active list shows advances
Of 10 \, the latter Lackawanna, New York
Central, and Delaware and Hudson, each /,
and Louisville and Nashville lower, while
several remained unchanged
The market was active In the early deal
ings, and although there were few slight
advances In the few first few minutes, the
market soon became weak and continued
so throughout tho first hour, Lackawanna
at this time being conspicuous in decline.
This was followed by quiet and rather
firm market until afternoon, when there
was repetition OF the activity and weak
ness Of the first hour. Toward o'clock
there was another fractional rally, but the
market was heavy and dull during the last
hour closing at or near the lowest prices Of
the day.
