that come what might, this prize should not

She would be worth the winning. that

At the Cabinet meeting to-day, when the
thermometer registered SO degrees, the grave
subject said to have been under discussion
was whether or not Cabinet officers might
wear flannel shirts. Secretary Rusk pro-
posed the subject Just after Mr.. Blaine had
told q funny story that made them laugh 80
hard that the Precipitation ran down the
Presidents back, willing his white collar, and
SO exercised the Secretary of hayseed as to
completely dsmGlish the starch in his shirt
front. MIR. Rusk then brought up the fan
for some time. and he became eloquent az he
enlarged Dor the comforts and beauty
Of that style Of dress. He said that
these shirts were the salvation. of
farmers in the harvest field and at
the thrashing machine. and that he had never
been. so happy in his life as when he wore one

he thought the soft silk or Grape was better

barons will begin to Tut an extra lining in
their money-bags, by reason Of the additional
grab Mt the poor man.
There was n slight decline IN the price
early in March, but the old prices were re-
sumed about n month ago.
Wholesalers and retailers thought at that
time that there would not be another increase
until the regular advance in the Fall, and
they set about making contracts, taking the
prices for June as a basis.
AT q meeting OF the managers Of the big
corporations held during this week, how
ever, 1t was resolved to increase the scale
from 10 to 10 cents per ton.
This scale will go into effect on Monday,
and the wholesale prices then will be: Crate,
~. 30; stove. "a. 40 chestnut, $4.1b; egg.

There is much dissatisfaction among the
members of the trade over the increase, and
some action may be taken,

particularly hard on the retailers. Many of
their customers have taken advantage of the
reduced rates, and have entered into con-
tracts for their Winters supply at a~stipulated
price.
This increase in prices will take money out
of their pockets. Then, again. the retail
price of coal has been about $5. IS per ton,
delivered on the sidewalk.
Many of the dealers will prefer not to raise
the price for fear Of losing their customers, but
there are a great many more who will raise
the retail price according TO the advance they
have been forced to pay.
