MERGE, April 15.-The local wheat mar
ket opened higher and strong this morning
and continued strong up to noon at nearly
a cent advance on Thursdays price. The
commercial news of the day was very
meager because of all European markets
being closed. There was. however. enough
of home news to stiffen the backbone of
the bulls AMI a corresponding weakness
in the vertebrae of the erstwhile bear.
New York advanced full cent, which
gave the that the schoolmaster was

followed the seaboard and advised that the
condition of the market was simply this:
THAT there is no wheat for sale when it
is wanted" Other advices said that the
elevator companies were large buyers in
order to secure carrying charges This
principal conceive to be vicious and
detrimental to the trade as a whole. OF
course they have the legal and perhaps
the moral right to hamper trade-but we
doubt the moral right. The country has

FIN CANS AND OLD SHOES.
They Well Reward the Italians Who
Rake Them Out of the Ash Heaps.

Rake Them Out of the Ash Heaps.
On every dumping ground where the city
contractors of Brooklyn place their ashes
one may see constantly Italians working
hard leveling the heaps, load after load
is deposited; and carefully placing the to-
mato cans and other cast off pieces of tin
ware in piles by themselves, says the New
York Sun. The contractors do not object
if the householders put old cans among the
ashes for this insures a careful leveling by
the Italians at the dumping grounds at no
expense to the contractors. The revenue
from these cans that are collected by the
hundreds and thousands is a matter of
surprise to most persons. A two horse
load brings from Sc to s.. 1t takes several
days of hard work to get a big wagon
load, but the Italians don't seem to mind
the labor of it, for there is money imme-
diately in sight as the piles of tin cans
grow. They watch jealousy their pick
ing grounds and sometimes make special
arrangements with the contractors for the
privilege of scraping and raking the ash
heaps over.
The tin cans are sold to men with furn-
aces, who place them in a big cauldron,
and under a slow fire melt the tin and
solder and run that part off for future
use and SALE Almost all the tin and sol
der is saved by this process, and is sal
able for use in making more cans for pre-
serving vegetables The heat is then made
intense and the iron that remains is melt
ed and cast into sash weights The de-
mand for these old cans is said to be
greater than the supply, and one of the
most valuable of the scavenger privileges
is that of working over. an ash dump.
Brooklyn contractors are said to be la
menting the fact that there is almost no
low ground left in the city limits for them
to fill up with the ashes they collect. They
fear that soon they will have to cart the
ashes a long distance This will, of course,
necessitate greater expense and reduce
profits considerably. In time the city will
have to bear this expense. By having the
ashes smoothed over the ground where
they are dumped a great many more may
be dumped than if they were left in heaps,
and the contractors are therefore glad to
have the Italians economic space for
them, as thy level the heaps in their hunt
for old tin things.
The Italians also collect old bits of leath-
err in heaps. Old shoes of a large size are
always a special delight to them wag-
on load of them is always salable for use
in making lampblack. There are other
sources of profit in ash heaps but the chief
sources of revenue to those who pull them
to pieces are the cans and the shoes.

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE, J

~ ~ e'Nh''
At the special comunicatiOn of tbs
grand lodge of MasOns, held IN
Union hall recently, the directors
we're empowered 10 sell the temple
and the land on which 1t stands OIL
course this means that in the course os
three or four years the lodge will
build new temple located, probably,
farther up town. The meeting was
doubly interesting as an announce
ment was made for the first time Of
the amount of insurance awarded for
damages by the recent fire at the
temple. For losses on the building
the lodge will receive $50, 900, for
personal property s2l 300. The per-
sonal property consists mostly of
books, furniture and carpets. Tho
board of directors was by vote di-
rected to see what arrangements can
be made to secure temporary quarters.
1t was suggested that the old public
library building be hired until the
new temple Is completed. No action
was taken in regard to a new temple,
and probably nothing will be done on
that line before the annual meeting
Of the lodge which occurs in Deem
