FOREIGNERS LEAVING AMERICA
Strike and Hard Times Driving Them
Back to Europe.

NEW YORK, July 6.-Foreigners are get
ting out OF America There Is nc doubt
that the present strike has scared them.
Seven steam ships last week alone took
away z, COS steerage passengers while eight
arrived with but LBS. Friends and rela-
lives are sending them money to return TO
their former homes, as they are unable 10
obtain work here There is no work here.
1t Is estimated that over 10000 members
Of the various building trades unions of
New York are out of employment. This Is
J due TO several causes, the general hard
times, OF course being an important factor.
Another cause and one TO which much
significance is attached, is the disturbed
condition of labor At the present time,
For the first tins in many years there APP
pears 60 be general suspension OF
'overhauling" work this summer.
| The discussions among the differ
ent labor unions are the cause, it
Is said, for this, as people are
afraid to have work begun without an as
sursnce that it Will be completed There
are about 5000 bricklayers in the city, of
which so per cent are out of work. When
employed they earn S24 a week. The pias-
terers number about the same proportion
of unemployed. Out of 3 900 steDecutters
and masons about one-half are employed.
The carpenters fare better. 1t Is estimated
that there are 10000 of them, with one
fourth of that number cut of work. There
are about 5000 plumbers, twe-thirds of
whom are employed. Add to these the
steam and gas filters and their helpers,
cabinet workers, tin and sheet iron work
ers, over half of whom cannot find employ
ment, and it makes up an army Of unem-
ployed bread winners of alarming proper
tions. The unions have benefit funds for
doctors fees and funeral expenses, but
none for rent, and how the men with large
families exist Is mystery. Where there
were three buildings in course of cOnstruc
ton at this time TWO years ago there is
but one now. Thousands of immigrants
are returning TO the old Country.

Artificial Sugar.

For many years the artificial pro-
duction of sugar has been the occasion
of many experiments The hope of OBJ
tanning by the union of certain chem
ical elements this valuable substance
has led to efforts that have resulted in
producing glucose, what is called in
vert sugar" and many other exceed
ingly sweet elements, but in no case
has the pure. normal sugar been found
as the consequence of the numerous eff
forts in this direction. But little reli-
ance is placed on the claims Of an Ital-
ian scientist who asserts that he has
actually produced sugar from gases
and vapor. The world viii wait with
no little interest for the still further
development of the Italians ideas, for
to have made a single ounce OF sugar
is an achievement that will win fame
and fortune for the indefatigaole toiler
in the chemical fields of the world--N.

WHEN AND HOW TO TALK.
Some Pitfalls That the Bashful Man VIII
De Wen to Shun.

DC wen 10 Shuh'
When a man dimes at the table Of
civilization he may not emulate the
Indian in showing stoical disregard
Tor his company. He must talk. He
must do his best to awaken the interest
Of his neigh bors, to contribute to their
entertainment, to show himself at
least conscious of their presence and
solicitous for their amusement, or to
sit there silently confessing that he is
an unmannered boor How is he to be-
gin? The beginning is unimportant
and any speech will suffice to break the
6rst ice and start the game.
But in conversation there are open
ings which lead nowhere-or, rather.
which lead into a kind of cul-de-sac
from which it is not always easy to
emerge. 1t is precisely these openings
which some malignant spirit always
suggests to those who are not ready of
wit.
Let one serve as an example of many
others-the weather. The man or
woman who pitches upon the weather
as likely opening for animated con-
versation must indeed be lost. True,
it is topic of common interest, but
the interest may be too common, and
that is decidedly the case with the
weather. Under the same category
may be placed any topic of the day
which has for some time attracted at
tention and has been the subject of
much private and public controversy.
He was wise host who, during the
Itch borne trial, forbade the mention
of that name to his guests.
The worst feature of such openings
to conversation is, as we have said,
that they constitute a kind of Guide
sad out of which it is very difficult to
find a way when once they are en-
tered. For it is often quite as difficult
to let conversation drop as il is to
take it up. Where the topic is of SO
common an interest that both the con-
versers are in possession of a multitude
of common ideas upon the subject,
WEAKNESS sets in long before those
ideas are exhausted. The conversation
hangs heavily, to the obvious diseom-
fort of both. but they know not how to
extricate themselves, and. like 4 Greek
chorus, go on exchanging platitudes
without any sense of conviction and in
q spirit OF mutual observation-disclosures

their mute Reckoning. after many days

no clue as to who the murdrrers were. and

NEW YORK, July 6.-The baseball mana
gers are watching the strike closely. They
have reason. If the tie-up moves east
ward, which the strike on the Big -Four
threatens, baseball, as represented nation
ally in the big league, will come TO close
with jolt.
The league uses the Big Four great
iexl in transporting its men, but OF course
il could get along without that road and
use others.
Today all the eastern clubs open up in
Re west and If the tie-up IN the west Is
msde anywhere near complete In the next
few days, the baseball cranks will have 70
creep away and pine for want of amuse-
ment.
Ii the clubs are cut off from filling dates,
now, they will complete the season, and
play ali scheduled games after the appoint
close of the season, Sept. 80. The League
has played bail in October before.

New YORK, July 6.-Bradstreets Re-
view tomorrow will say:
Outside of the Intervention of a holiday,
there is a sharp restriction of trade and in
dustrial production, due to railway
troubles west of the Alleghenys and NORTH
OF the Ohio river, which extend west and
southwest to the Pacific coast and make
their influence felt in other directions.
The combined railroad strike and boy
colt has had a steadily increasing dam
aging influence upon the general industrial
situation. Calculations as to the NUN beT
of men cut are not complete. but there is
little doubt that the total number idle rs
a result of this railway tie-up far exceeds
the outcome OF any previous labor trouble
in this country.
All cereals except wheat have shown a
decided advance in price Pork and lard
are up sharply. as are fruits, vegetables,
meats and other produce. Pig iron west
is commanding - cents more per ton, and
cattle. hogs and sheep are noticeably
higher even at far western markets, where
receipts are restricted.
The United States and Canada carried
over on July |. fully 73, 500, 600 bushels OF
wheat against 1850, 900 bushels a year
ago, and one-half TO one-third as large
quantities of visible AS lie preceding years.
The total here, in Canada and in and
afiost for Europe July l. WAS 46,5l9. 900
bushels, compared with 152, sos, 900 bushels
one year ago. With Australian stocks in
cluded, the worlds available wheat sup
ply July l, was l54 49, 600 bushels against
Isl, 2OS. 900 bushels one year ago, when the
total was the largest on record for a like
date.
Materially higher prices for wheat at An
early date would appear to depend on the
truth of the assertion that domestic invisi-
bic wheat supplies are practically exhausted
of which fact there is no certain evidence.
Total exports of wheat, United States and
Canada, flour inciuded) this week are
l, 1856 600 bushels against l,7l7.000 last
week, ), 6T7. 900 bushels in the week a year

crease within week, the total being only
