THE BRICK BOYCOTT
There were signs of weakening to-day i'm
the position assumed by the Brick Manu-
facturers' Association, the members OF
which agreed not to ship any more brick t.
| New York until the boycott against the
| Nerplancks Point yards should be raised.
| Little or no brick was being unloaded to-
day and but little arrived. and the manu-
| features were busily engaged in doin-
nothing but wait and watch. The dealor-
were delivering such brick a they had on
hand and the builders were hustling about
trying 10 yet relieved from contracts 10
finish buildings by certain specified dates.
AN INFLUX OF MoRMONs.
over one hundred Morm0ns arrived here
to-day on the GuiOn Line steamer Wyomin-
| from Liverpool. They were principally
English and were clean and healthy look
| ing. They started for salt Lake City by the
Old Dominion Line.
THE NEW YORK AND TEUTONIC.
The defeat Of the White star Line steam.
ship Teutonic by the lnman Companys
steamship, the City OF New York, Is attrlhut-
ed - bad coal. II is given out, and not denied
by those Interested, that the Ieutonic ou
this trip burned coal that had not been
screened, and the dust from this
did more harm than otherwise, u
being impossible 10 control full
pressure of steam with this dust. The City
Of New York. on the other hand, had ina her
bunkers selected coal. and 10 the Use Of this
is attributed her victory over the Gcutonic.
The betting on the Exchange is ten t0 eight
that the Teut0nic VIII beat the New York
on her next westward voyage.
The COTrON-oIL TRUST.
II is stated on authority that majority
of the directors Of the COttOn-Oil Trust have
placed their resignation in the hands OF Mr..
T.. u. Adams, of WinslOw. Lanicr * Co., o.
be accepted as soon rs other men are found
ID fill the vacancies. The idea IS tO secure
men well known ia the financial and busl-
ness world. and to bolster the company up
with a respectable backing. Ii Is further
proposed to issue eight per cent. dcbenture
bonds 10 the amount OF NJ.Whi'Nh at par
3. .O00. 900 Of the proceeds 10 be used 10 pay
oil the present hoating DEBT. and the bal
ance retained as "a working capital. The
company has heretofore been embarrassed.
~ il has been a large borrower of money at
certain seasons Of the year for buying ANA
carving stock. and has had 10 pay heavy
rates of interest. The present scheme is
said To be purely in the line Of greater
economy. and the proposed new bonds VIII
not increase the indebtedness Of the COM
pany. but will put the Indebtedness, in a
more easily handled form.
