Pork Packing and Provisions.


The Cincinnati Price Current says the
Western packing has been further slack =
ened the past week, and shows no in
crease compared with the corresponding
period last year, the total being 290, O00
hogs for the week, against like number
a year ago. The seasons aggregate is
row $50 200 hogs against 4 =, $50 900 last
year, the increase since November l be-
will develop much further gain. Prices
of hogs were advanced somewhat at lead
ing markets during the week, and close
about the same as a week ago IN most
markets, but at Cincinnati prices are
20@25 cents higher under the
moderate offerings. At Chicago current
values of product are on the basis of
So. 65@3.70 for hogs, and the latter are
averaging at about SO 80. In the Ohio
valley region the farmers appear to have
taken advantage of the premiums offered
IN the relatively high prices of hogs dur
ing the season, ana have fed everything
that could be moved into market during
the winter season, and to more or less
extent this has been the case further
west. The result will be a smaller supply
for spring and the early summer months
than If the usual course had
been pursued by farmers. The
provision market ut Chicago has
shown some weakness during the week,
without improvement at the close, which
Indicates a decline of 2O@25 cents on
pork, ~ cents per 100 pounds on lard
and cents on short-rib sides compared
with week ago. There is large steady
demand for product for distribution, and
the export movement for the week was
exceptionally liberal in both meats and
lard. The general position, seemingly,
would justify a moderate enhancement
in values soon, but what speculation may
do in counteracting such a tendency can
not be foretold

This great demand has compelled con-
tractors to offer more gold per ton, or
more silver. SO as to get the iron in their
time OF need. pound weight OF silver
will buy as much gold now as it did a
year ago, but it will not buy by
70 per cent. as much iron. Has silver
deprecated 90 per cent, or is it not that
IRON is much needed and thus in greater
demand than the output can meet?
Gold and silver are not good materials
for war vessels. If iron falls in a few
months under greater output and less
wanted, 30 that silver will buy 90 per
cent. more than now, can we say that
silver has advanced? Gold will buy 20
per cent. more iron; also, can we say
gold has advanced? Wheat will buy 20
per cent. more iron, too, by direct bar
ter even; has wheat advanced, when
wheat, silver and gold remain at the
same price TO each other and only iron
has jumped up and down?
How is it that we can sell iron now in
England at 20 per cent. higher price
than last year, and that silver, in great
demand, brings just the same price; that
silver will buy greatly less iron now than
last year but just as much gold! Is
there not some law of supply and de-
mand at the bottom of all this, and can
you cancel that law by corner
ing silver and storing it for q few
years? Not unless you can buy
and pay tor it in gold or other commOdi-
ties, buying all the silver output of the
world now and forever. It is too plenty
and too easily obtained to be cornered
successfully, yet we can use many mill
lions of it advantageously, as we can
copper or nickel but not all that the
world can melt out of the mountains,
and not even what we ourselves can pro-
duce, and keep gold and bimetallism.

AN ILLEGAL STRIKE.

The Plnstcrers of Chicn 60 Will Not be Sup
ported by the international Association
Tho Miners Convention CIosed-A New
Glass Fnctory-Genernl Labor News.
Robert S. Tenary, of Allegheny, Presi-
pent of the Operative Plasterers' Inter-
national Association, returned yesterday
from Chicago, where he had been endeavor-
ing to settle the strike in that city. He de-
cIared the strike illegal and tried to have it
Strengthened out. but he left matters in con-
fusion, and the strike is not likely to be settled
for some time.
The cause of the trouble, as given by Presi-
dent Tenary. is as follows: The association had
granted an increase OF so cents in wages all
over the country. The wages were So 90 per day,
when the advance was granted. but by some
special arrangement the plasterers of Chicago
had been allowed so cents per day extra, above
was allowed, making the wages all around So 50
per day. the Chicago people wanted their extra
80 cents continued. That would have made
their wages 81 90 per day.
This was objected to, and meeting was
called. 1t was decided by a small majority not
to grant the special advance to Chicago. The
people who were in favor OF the advance were
greatly dissatisfied at the action of the meeting
and very cleverly called a special meeting. and
it is said secured the attendance of a sufficient
number of their friends to reconsider and re-
verse the action of the former meeting.
The strike followed; but President Tenary
illegal manner. They failed to notify the en-
ployers. They endeavored to get the Detroit
plasterers out also. The latter people. however,
will not strike The strike is still on, but Presi
dent Tenary says it will not be supported by the
association. Fully 500 places are being filled in
Chicago by non-union men.

THERE is TALK OF CHARGES.
A Member of the Board of Viewers snid TO
be In Danger.

Talk was rife in the City Hall yesterday
afternoon about charges which might or would
be brought against a member of the Board of
Viewers. T. ]. O'Leary, Jr., one OF the mem.
bers. said last night that he knew nothing of
the subject. but would be glad to have his
record investigated since his connection with
the board by the courts or any other COM
petent authority.
1t seemed rather improbable he said, as the
only way member of the Board could act dis
honestly was to assess benefits or allow dam
ages in favor of friends. But as this would re-
Qulre the collusion of the whole Board the
scheme could not very well be carried through
as anyone would know who was acquainted
with the members of the Board. Hesaid there
were delays in the work which were unayod-
able, as the law did not allow the Board to rush
business, as the people should be allowed suffi-
cient time to prepare tor any assessments
deemed necessary.
The delay in the work of the Viewers is
understood by others to be the cause of the
trouble a contractor last week called the
Board down for what he considered unneces.
sary delay in work which should be in the
hands of the men before the time it came out
of the Viewers Office.
Il is understood that the report on the
Diamond street widening report will be ready
by M MOnday next, and that the Board is upani-
mously agreed on the Cecil alley and Wylie
avenue matters also.

A LOWER LEVEL.

MIR. Goodwln's Important Discovery Inn
parted TO the Canal Commission-Cross-
ing the Divide One Hundred Feet Below
the Old Canal Altitude.
The State Canal Commission held its
March meeting yesterday afternoon in the
Office of the Engineers Society, in the Penn
Building. ALI members were present.
Colonel 7. P. Roberts read long report
on the Allegheny river route. Those who
propose this route suggest the use of the Al
legheny to Franklin, and thence by French
creek to Conneaut Lake, the summit level
Colonel Roberts read an exhaustive statement
concerning the Allegheny. its fall. its rapids
and rifles, its volume of water and drainage,
secured through Colonel Merrill from Govern
ment surveys of former years. There are ZS
rapids between Pittsburg and Franklin
and the Colonel gave estimate on
the number of dams that would be necessary.
He gave no opinion as to the feasibility of this
route.
Colonel Roberts and Mr.. Goodwin reported
on their visit to Harrisburg. They have or
dered copies made of the State surveys and
maps of the old Beaver canal.
Mr.. Goodwin presented an important matter.
He said that his examinations and investiga-
tons had satisfied him that there was practic-
able line across the summit. running about six
or seven miles west of the old canal line, which
had an altitude from so to 100 feet lower than
the old line. A part of it runs through the
Conneaut marshes now covered by six feet of
water. He hopes to begin the field work next
week, il the weather will allow. No surveys
will be necessary south of New Castle, as all
that part of the route down the Beaver Valley
is completely covered by surveys made by the
State and by railroad companies, in recent
years. The first field work done will be to
establish the basis for Mr.. Goodwins belief
that a much lower summit crossing can be
located. The members of the commission re-
gard this as a very lmportont point, as the chief
criticisms directed against the project have
been applied to :he altitude of the summit.
Eighty feet in the matter will be very i'm
portant, not only for the saving of a number of
locks. but for the increasing of the available
water supply.
The next meeting of the commission will be
held in this city on April 8. AT that time it is
expected that some definite work by the survey
ors will be reported.

Florence Swason, the 3-year-old daughter of
Benjamin Swason, shoemaker living at No.
2S5 Webster avenue. was gored and severely
injured by COW yesterday afternoon.
About 2:30 o'clock two boys were driving a
COW and calf belonging to August Fougen. a

at them, attracted, it is said, by red dress
worn by the girl. They ran onto the sidewalk,
but the COW followed them. The O'Brien boy
was knocked down, but escaped unhurt and the
cow next struck the little girl. Its horn struck
her under the left ear, tearing open her neck
and cheek and throwing her several feet. The
COW was driven off before further mischief was
done and the children picked up. DR.. Muir

A FAKE OR A MYSTERY.
Weird Story From MinersviIie About a
Buried Child,

Yesterday morning gentleman of known
veracity while driving up Thirty-thlrd street,
below MInersvile, was attracted by large
crowd in a field near the road, and went to in
vestigate the cause of the gathering. He was
told that woman named Coulters. living
nearby, had seen a man with bundle under
his arm climb over a fence in the rear of her
home about o'clock yesterday morning. She
thought nothing of it at the time, but after
daylight she noticed that the tracks made by
the man led to q spot in the field where the
earth had been dug ur. The appearance of
the ground led her to believe that something
had been buried. A crowd gathered and a
policeman was sent for. The officer took a
pick and began to dig, and had turned
to view what appeared to be a baby's
dress, when he suddenly decided that it was
not his business to attend to such matters, and
throwing down the pick, he said he would go
and report the case to the Coroner. The by
ISLANDERS thought that il the officer dare not dig
up the remains. or whatever might be buried
they had no right to do SO, and thus the matter
stood when our informant left the scene.
The story was heard late last night. but the
Coroner said no such case had been reported to
him. He will look it up this morning. Inquiry
was made at all the police stations last night,
but nothing had been reported about the case.

Mr.. kimberland is in favor of uniting the
waters of the Chesapeake and Monongahela by
canal. He was raised in West Virginia and
knows the topography of the country. He says
the canal is not only feasible, hut the materials
necessary in its construction lie and stand all
along the route, so that the cost OF transport
ing would be nominal.
At the same time Mr.. Kimberland does not
want the canal project from Beaver to Lake
Erie lost sight of, with its tens of millions of
tons Of freight now awaiting shipment each
way. He says Ohio river navigation would be
quite good with a dam at Beaver, and that
there is no imperative heed for any below that
point. ..
