MOROCCO MEN IDLE.
One Firm Shuts Down and
Others Think of Doing So.
A CORNERED MARKET THE CAUSE.

The Scarcity OF skins and the Conse-
quent High Prices Paralyze the Local
Leather ket-nIanufacturers Give
Their Views On the outlook-The At
tempt Of Importers to Keep Prices At "a
Premium Anticipated.
One morocco manufacturer has been
compelled 10 shut down, and others are
working with a small force as the re-
suit Of efforts on the part Of skin i'm,
porters 20 corner the market. The
skins are at present extremely scarce
and high priced
An EVENING JOURNAL reporter inter
viewed j. Parke Postles, president Of the
American Leather Company, and he
said: 1--WE have been watching the
markets for sometime and seeing that
the prices of skins would be raised dur
ing this winter we deemed IL prudent,
rather than run any risks to close our
branch at No POS West Fourth street,
which we did last Saturday. The stu.
alton at present Is that the manufactur
ers have been running on heavy stocks
during the past summer and now there
is good supply. IL Is matter that
often occurs in every business. The re-
taiers are selling against competition
and come TO us and want to buy at their
own prices. On the other hand the Inn
porters recognize this and have raised
the prices to such an extent that we
will rest on what stock we have until
spring, when | think that the trade will
improve. The prices raised about the
same as they did two years ago.
The superintendent Of l. Il. Quigley 3
establishment was approached on the
subject I'VE are now running light,
but will have our fun force on in few
weeks The cause of the slaclness Is
because the importers want TO raise the
prices in order TO corner the market
The attempt was made two years ago tC

quoted at 20 cents 20 $1O0. They only
held out about five months. and the
result was that they are getting lower
prices now than ever before, or So cents
The manufacturers have taken precau
tions this winter from the expert enc,
they obtained before, and are ready +,

at all concerned over the matter, as WI

as futile as the other and that It is tn

ABOUT THE NEW CABINET
Senator Gray, II Is Said, win Not Accept
secretaryship at the Sacrifice OF His
Senate Seat.

Senator Gray, II Is Said, WIN Not Accept
"a secretaryship at the Sacrifice OF His
Senate Seat.
A special despatch from Washington
last night about proposed cabinet posi-
tions, said in part:
"The friends of Senator George Gray
If Delaware say that he has decided not
to leave the Senate for a seat in the Cab
met
There appears to be little doubt that
Mr.. Cleveland has been rather anxious
TO give Senator Gray an invitation TO
become a member of the Cabinet, either
as Secretary of State or Attorney Gen
eral. Mr. Cleveland is anxious that ex
Secretary of State Bayard shall resume
his old place in the Senate, as the Presi
dent would thus be assured of a tried
personal friend with q commanding
influence in that body.
Senator Gray has felt the weight of
the arguments in favor of such an ar
rangement as would advance himself TO
a Cabinet position and give Mr.. Bayard
the place in the Senate, which he is
probably willing to accept, and which
Mr. Cleveland desires that he shall Oc-
cupy during the incoming Administra
tion
But Senator Gray Is not willing 70
make the change as it would be a finan-
eial sacrifice which his circumstances do
not warrant He would probably be
willing TO decline an election to the SEN
ate in favor Of Mr. Bsyard, but Mr.. Bay
ard would not listen TO such proposi-
tion, and the ex- Secretary of State also
probably appreciates Senator Gray's
reasons for refusing to 60 into the Cab
met, and deems them sufficient.
Senator Gray would no doubt be glad
to accept an appointment on the Supreme
Bench. In any event there are reasons
to predict that Mr.. Bayard will be
requested to return to public life by Mr.
Cleveland, even if he does not return to
the Senate. It is fully well understood
that he was offered his old place as Sec
as Secretary Of State soon
after the election. and that
at the same time ex-Secretary Fairchilds
was offered his former position at the
head of the Treasury Department, but
both gentlemen declined.

IN CONTACION PRISONS.
Arkansas Prisoners Penned in
Camps of Filth and Disease.
AUTHORITIES SUPPRESS THE NEWS.

Little Rocks Penitentiary Physician
Publishes a Sensational Statement in
which He Says That Previous Refer
ence to the Bad Sanitary Condition OF
Convict Camps Was Suppressed.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Jan. 6.--Dr. G. M.
d. Cantrell, last night made an interest
ing statement regarding the recent
deaths Of convicts here.
Dr. Cantrell was penitentIary physi-
clan for four years, his term of Office
ending in May, 1890. He states that dur
ing his administration he visited convict
camps and in his report made In January
Of last year, he devoted one-half of 1t to
their sanitary condition and showed that
the death rate was greater among con-
victs in the camps thnn among those
confined in the penitentiary walls
Regarding this report DIR. Cantrell
says can that poreion of my report
bearing on the filthy condition Of the
camp was stricYen out by Attorney Gen
eral Atkinson, who argued that my
province was within the penitentiary
and that I had no authority over con
victs confined in camps. Further, that
the report If presented to the Legisla-
ture as / had drafted IL, would act
as two edged sword, inasmuch as that
body would bring the board TO task for
being derelict in their duties, and there
fore he thought IL best to strike 1t out.
His opinion was seconded by the COVER
nor and that portion Of the report was
suppressed"
AS to the recent deaths at Helena and
Little Rock he says: Personal investl-
cations coupled with my past experience
suggests to my mind that the deaths are
due TO bad food and sanitary surround
ings-sleeping in freight cars and drink
ing water from sewer drains contiguous
to slaughter houses etc.
