NEWsI NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM To THE prsPArcu.,


EAST LIVERPOOL, Feb. 2s.-William
Burgess, United States Consul at Tunstnl,
England; has just made a repert, giving the
items eff cost of producing all grades OF
pottery in England and the United States,
in detail Democratic campaign speakers
last fall made the statement all through this
State that the American potters did not re-
ceive higher wages than were paid In Eng
land. The table prepared by Consul Bur-
CESS gives the price paid in English potteries
and the price paid in New Jersey and East
Liverpeel, as well as Cincinnati, Findlay,
Tifin, Wheeling and other important
places where pottery is made in this coun-
try.
The average wages paid Americans are over
13e per cent higher than the English, and
the duty under the Mckinley bill is 50 per
cent on plain white ware and go per cent on
decorated.
The amount of capital required to be
locked up in the business differs greatly be-
tween the TIVE countries. The American
potter Is beth manufacturer and merchant
and must carry a large and well-assorted
stock to enable him to ship bulk carloads on
short notice, while the English potters
manufacture on orders alone. and the Amer
lean whe buys abroad does not expect to
receive his order for four or five months,
thus placing him in the position of 4 specu-
later should the market vary within that
time.
English potters carry an average OF Slo,-
300 worth of ware in stock, while the aver
age American carries from SO, 900 to $50, 900
worth, which Is constantly being added to
or drawn from.
The rate of money interest is from 2JS to
3 per cent, as against q or per cent in the
United States. Hence, in the investment,
including the construction of the plant, the
small stock of manufactured goods carried,
added to the vast difference in wages paid
labor, the English potters are enabled to
rompete with the American and still pay
the 50 TO 60 per cent duty.
The introduction of the manufacture of
Titreous hotel china, thin, half thick and
thick, at the East Liverpool china works,
is cutting down the importation of this class
of goods very fast. 1t is only recently that
this grade of goods has been successfully
made in this country, and foreigners have
been getting their own prices through i'm
porters and iobbers. Now, however Amer
lean china, equal to the imported in color,
in glazing, in vitrifcation and in translu-
cency, is taking the place of the imported
article, and at much less price. The dec
orations are put on over or under the glaze,
rs desired and the ware is very handsome,
rapidly finding a wide sale.

This occasion was perhaps the greatest
gala day of the Modern" Masons There

Betting on tho Big Battle Becoming Very
Lively among the Sports.
Local interest in the Fitzsimmons- Maher
fighj is getting to a high pitch and betting
ON the result is becoming brisk. The Fitz-
simmons supporters are holding out for a
point of odds and Maher hackers yesterday
offered to bet any amount of money at
evens. The probability is that Maher
money will become so strong as to force the
odds on the Irish champion as far as local
betting is concerned. If to 4syere offered
on Maher there would be some lively bet
ting:
Many local admirers of the istic sport
are inclined to think that the amount of
money at stake will induce the principals
and their hackers to SIX" things and this is
deterring speculation to some extent.

He Makes q Reasonable Proposition to the
Club for This Season.
A letter was received yesterday from
Connie Mack by President Temple, of the
local ball club The contents of the letter
show that Connie is aware of the altered
condition of things, and he writes in a
manly and reasonable spirit. Last year, he
points out, he received So, 800, and he is re-
quired to sign for S. 500 this year. This he
claims is not fair and argues a reduction of
1000 is unreasonable. He offers to meet
the club half way and submit to reduction
of $500 this year. In his letter he says:
81 recognize the fact that the salaries of
ball players will have to come down. also
recognize the fact that not one of the other
players were reduced this year. Therefore,
/ think it q little unjust that should be
the only one to be pulled down, and my cut
such big one.'
