FIGURING MILLS,

Denial of the Report That the Union
Works Have Shut Down.
STOCKTON, Feb. 2l.-The report pub
iished in san Francisco papers this
morning that the Union FIGURING Mill of
this city, which belongs to the Sperry
combine, had been shut down and was
being dismantled is false. The mill is
temporarily idle, but instead of being
dismantled, workmen are engaged in
overhauling the machinery to prepare
for the operating OF the mill again at no
distant date.
George b. Sperry, Vice President of
the company owning the Union mill
said tonight: The statement that the
mill has been shut down TOR good is not
true. We had a quantity OF milling
wheat at the Starr mill warehouses, and
as wheat was coming in slowly here we
decided TO start up the Starr mill for q
time, and transferred the men from the
Union to the Starr. AS soon as the wheat
at the latter mill is ground the Union
will be started up again, and run to its
full capacity. That will be within three
weeks or month.
The statements that the men at the
Union were made to work thirteen hours
a day, and that their wages were cut, are
untrue. Ten hours is the most that any
man has had to work, and there is no cut
in wages. The Sperry Company pays
the best wages OF any milling corpora
ton in the State.
The Crown Milling Company was
never offered 81 ,0O0, 900 to enter combine,
as was stated. The statement that the
Union mill will be dismautled is ridicu-
lous, as we have spent a great deal of
money IN pertecting its machinery, and
IL is splendid and profitable mill. 1t
will again be turning out its thousands of
barrels OF Hour each day after few
weeks.
The Portland Milling Company is
trying to get Il foothold in Stockton, and
Will build big mill here if it can get the
site and concessions it wants. 1t Is try

Mrs. Sage ON Women,s Dress.

"If woman will follow the pursuits Of

CORRUGATED SHEETS FOR BUILDINGS.

CORRUGATED SHEETS FOR BUILDINGS.
ipgs have been used to some extent for
long time, but of late years the steady de-
cline in the price Of iron has increased its
use to an enormous extent.
In the cut is represented plain wooden
frame building, partly covered and sided
with corrugated iron. Where the frame is
especially adapted to the use of corrugated
iron The Industrial World, from which
the illustration is reproduced, explains
that the roof trusses, or raftcrs, need not
be nearer together than II feet, and the
only support required for the sheets are
the purlins under the ends, usually placed
from . = feet to feet apart, thus saving
any Jack rafters or sheathing boards,
which so easily communicate fire from one
point to another.
This method of covering and siding
buildings is especially adapted for almost
every kind of manufacturing establish
ments, such as rolling, planning and saw
mills, blast furnace casting, stock and
hosting houses, foundries, Touring mills,
barns, blacksmith and machine shops,
railroad depots, bridges, smelling estab
lishments, etc, and it is also extensively
used for awnings, porticoes, etc.

Wage Earning English Women.

The Courier lately printed statistic:
Of the employment Of women in the
United States. They show, it will be
remembered, that the number Of wage
earners among women has increased
maryelously since 1850. And now we
have the gist Of a report lately made to
the British board Of trade presenting
corresponding statistics for England and
Wales. The conservatism which gees
from top to bottom there is pretty clear
ly proved in the returns, which show
that only slight increase in the en-
ployment Of women took place in the
interval between the census Of 8si and
that Of 1891. In 1851 out Of every 900
girls and women above 10 years Of age
in England and Wales there were $40. s
employed. In 1891 there were 344. 2.
The number Of boys and men returned
as employed shows decrease Of l pei
1000.
Another interesting fact Is that girls
and women in England keep the old,
settled lines Of employment for theil
sex, having no inclination apparently tc
copy after their more venturesome cou-
sins in America. Thus, while the census
report gives $40 headings, representing
as many different occupations, more
than fourfifths Of the girls and women
returned as employed in 1891, or 277
out Of the 344.2 in every 1000 in the
population, are enumerated under Is Of
these headings.
The census talter notes that there has
been marked increase in the employ
ment Of girls under ID, but that there is
some decrease in the number Of married
women employed in textile and clothing
trades, in the factory districts there be-
ing considerable diminution in the
number Of working married women be-
tween 20 and 20 years Of ge.-Buffalo

Professional Marketers.

One of the most novel and valuable
employments for women in some cities
is that of professional marketer. There
can be no doubt that here is a genuine
opening for u woman who is thoroughly
capable Of fulfilling the requirements of
the position, for this work is no sine
cure To become successful marketer
woman ought to have thorough
knowledge Of markets and know when
various articles are in season and the
best qualities to buy for variUus pur-
poses She must know when it will do
to use an inferior brand, and, i'll short,
she must have scientific knowledge OF
cooking as we'll as of markets. She must
know when the season of each article Is
at its height and what is in season at
any particular time.
A young woman who has made this
business notable success lives in Phil
adelphia. She is a graduate Of the Phil
adelphia Cooking school. She issues in
connection with her business small
monthly bulletin of the markets, which
contains u price list of meats, fish, poul-
try, butter, eggs and gamGhas well as
of vegetables and fruits. Her bulletin
also contains weeks menus, with sug-
gestions for dainty meals from most sea-
sonable supplies of the market. This
young lady not only purchases supplies
for private families, but for hotels and
boarding houses, and she has undertaken
in one case to purchase all the supplies
for large school and engage the serv-
ants. 1t would seem as though the lat
ter service was an outside matter, which
would be likely to interfere with the
proper performance of the chief business
in hand, which, if successful, would re-
quire the closest attention. New York

STREET CAR ADVERTISING.
A Big and Serious Business, but Not with
out 4 Humorous Side.

The annual expenditure for street car
advertising in the United States has in
five years grown from $500, go to IS. 600, :
600 and is constantly increasing. Already
half "a dozen firms are spending from SIS,
600 to 500, 600 a year each in this way, at
least 20 concerns each expend from So,
600 to sf5, 600 and from % e. 30 may be
counted who put out from s25, GOO TO s40,-
900 each. These sums are paid for the ac-
tual rental Of spaces in the street cars, the
placing OF the cards in them.
The growth Of street car advertising has
been to very marked degree dependent
upon and synchronous with marked i'm
proyements in street car service. 1t was a
very insignificant interest in the old days
OF the horse ears prior to 1873. The low
ceiled dingy, i'll lighted vehicles then in
use carried a few plain. unattractive cards,
half obscured by dust and covered By glass,
the refractions from which made them
difficult to decipher.
Ii was not until 1883, when trolley lines
were put in operation all over the country,
that street car advertising began to as
sumo its present character.
The amount of interest taken in the adj
yertising cards as well as the vigilance of
critical observations Il sometimes demon
strated by protests against some novelty.
That Is particularly likely TO happen where
the committee for regulating the universe
Is largely represented. That committee Is
always in session. one of its members con-
stitutes quorum, and it seldom lacks
things to kick at. One day, some months
ago, in one of our principal cities it was
moved to turn itself loose on the subject
Of new card that flashed out at once IN
all the cars
The man who lets a lady stand
Where others push and crowd her
Deserves to have the strongest brand
OF IS baking powder
To raise him.
The newspapers received letters OF in
dignant protest against the advertiser
audacity in presuming to teach courtesy
under the guise of advertising his baking
powder Finally the row got into the
courts over the question whether the car
companies could compel the removal of
the obnoxious card. The squabble was
compromised, but not until that baking
powder had been advertised as it never
was before.
AS rule, all over the country the adj
vertising privileges of street car lines are
primarily leased to local spectators, who
sublet the spaces, so far as possible, to To-
cal advertisers. Then, as it would be diff
cult for the local speculator to deal direct
ly with the big general advertisers scatter
ed all over the country, he seeks an inter
mediary to dispose Of his remaining space.
According to the New York Sun, the
source of the foregoing, this is the field Of
corporation which now controls all or a
great part of the advertising space in II, $50
cars and maintains agents in 1877 different
cities to watch the car service.
