ccnters which supply the brain with nerve
force; that indigestion, dyspepsia, neuralgia,

BIG TAILoRs, STRIKE.
The Old Trouble Has Broken Out Again
Among New York Tailors.

New York, Dec. 15.-The members of
the Clothing Contractors Mutual and
Protective association have repudiated
the contracts entered into by them with
the members of the United Garment
Workers of America in this city last
| July and also strike involving 10000
tailors in New York City, Brooklyn,
Brownsville and Newark is precipitated.
The contractors are under bonds in $500
each to live up to the terms of the agree
ment for one year. made during the last
conflict between themselves and the or
ganized labor, to whom the contractors
had to yield and grant their demands
at the close of the struggle which termi-
mated three months ago. Today being
the first work day in the Hebrew locality,
the tailors, though anticipating repeti-
ton of the old trouble, found notices
| posted upon most all of the shops stat
ing that employees had agreed to abolish
the weekly system granted under the
provision of their new contract, and that
the men would be paid in the future
under the piece and task work systems.
The employees further notified the tailors
that they would not in the future permit
the walking delegates of the United Gar
ment workers to enter their shops, and
would at the same time dispense with
| the services of time-keepers, whose duty
it was to call out the dinner hour. This
greatly incensed the tailors, who quit
work this morning in 100 shops employ
ing 5000 workmen.
The news spread like wildfre in the
Hebrew section of the city, and before
noon fully 5000 tailors beseiged the head
quarters of the union in Walla Walla
hall and Suffolk street, where meetings
were held. General Organizer Meyer
| field and Secretary Herman Robinson
and the members of the executive COM
mittee of the Brotherhood of Tailors
called on Notary Public Joseph Schulum
and ex-Assistant District Attorney Thos.
j. Bradley, who acted as counsel for the
| tailors in the last strike, and instructions
were given them to at once proceed
against those who signed as securities,
| the violated agreements of the con-
| tractors. Steps will be taken to recover
the amount of the bonds given, and in
| the meantime the fight will wage more
| fiercely than ever, as both sides are
| firm.
The contractors held meeting today
and decided not to permit organized
labor to run their establishments. They
contend they have right to hire and
discharge whom they please and man
| age their business without the Interior
ence of the walking delegates of the
Brotherhood of Tailors.
| The executive committee of the United
Garment workers met tonight and it is
more than probable that over 10000
tailors, pants makers. knee makers,
fnishers and basters will desert the
shops.

AN OLD MAIDS EPITAPH.
Old Abigail Henderson Had No Conf
dence in Mankind.

One of Depew's stories at the Buffalo
club dinner which does not appear in his
reported speech was one told by his
friend Mr.. Bishop, for long time pres
ident of the New Haven road. He is
now" said Mr.. Depew, 'resting in his
old age in honorable retirement and re-
Election upon the sins which are frequent
with railway president. He told me
the other day that when he visited, for
the first time in sixty years, the place of
his birth, he began to inquire about the
old lady and old maid, Abigail Hender-
son, who was his teacher i'll has early
youth-before he went to the academy
and thence to Yale-and finding no rec
ord of her among the "reminiscences of
the town went to the church-yard and
there discovered that she had erected a

in the Lord and have no confidence in
man. If Abigail had been the recipient

would have reversed about man."-Buf-

DncEMBER CROP REPORT.

The New York Herald on the govern
ment crop report for December says:
"The government crop report issued on
Tuesday estimates the general condition
of winter wheat on the LIST. inst. S1.4, and
the acreage of wheat just sown 1O4.G per
cent of that harvested last summer. The
general condition is 7.6 points lower than
that of December /, 1894, and 10.1 points
lower than that reported In December,
1893
1T is evident that wheat sown during
the autumn just ended is still suffering
from the effects of the long drought,
which was phenomenal. But 1t Is some
consolation that the wheat acreage for
the harvest of 1896 is larger than that
sown in 1895. the present area being esti-
mated at 23.647, 600 acres. And there Is
ample time for the crop TO improve very
greatly. a+
"The cotton crop Of 1895 is estimated
by the department OF agriculture at a
little over 81 per cent OF that Of 1894, or
G.37J,000 bales of 800 pounds each,
against 100000 bales last year. But
the mean farm price of cotton is 7.59 cents
against 40 on December /, 1894.
Judging by the reports, unofficial as
well as official, the crops of 1896, except
ing corn are likely to have more favorable
weather and to be larger than those of
the droughty year 1895"

advantage over our Northern competitors.
Our New York contemporary calls at.
tention to the fact that the Eastern mills
haul their cotton from 1000 to 1900 miles.
When the mills are built in sight of the
cotton fields it is plain that the heavy
cost of transportation is eliminated, and
this item alone cuts u considerable figure,
in the dividends.
within the past three years it is a
notable fact that despite the pressure
of the hard times the mills and factories
of the Carolinas and Georgia found it
profitable to continue their work on full
time, with never stop, and they have
paid dividends running from to II per
cent per annum. Some of the mills are
enlarging their plants and paying for the.
improvements out of the earnings of the
past few years.
'These mills, as the Mail and Express
says, have not only weathered the finan--
cial storm, but they have made money
The average cost of water power in the
Carolinas and Georgia is lower than any
where else in the Union and this is Of
course another important factor.
"When we add to these advantages our
cheap and reliable labor II will be seen
that ii is impossible for the Eastern mills
to successfully compete much longer With
their Southern rivals"

dealings in point of activity. The early
movement of prices was animated and
higher The opening was more steady,
but the railway stocks soon came into
prominence, with the grangers leading.
The uncompromising position of the pres
iident's message in regard to the Venezue-
Ian matter was sharply criticised. The
International stocks were especially weak
grade. The closing was with prices at
about the lowest and showing material
concessions.
There was a marked increase in the
volume of business in railway bonds to-
day. the sales amounting to S2.476. 600.
The market subsequently sagged under
the influences similar to those which de-
pressed the railway shares.
