NAVAL STORES.

Spirits Turpentine-There was a steady
business done during the past week, al
though the price was at decline. TIE
entire offerings were disposed of, and
the week ended with very small stocks
in factors hands. An effort was made
early in the week to depress the market
and lower the price TO 231zc, but the un-
usually good demand for few days held
it up TO 23ssc. Finally, on Thursday, the
lack of orders for domestic shipment fell
off, and the price went down to 23Ac for
regulars.
The report of yesterdays market of 80
casks at 1850, and 4s9 casks at 2334c, was
an error 1t should have been 232sc and
2SLc respectively.
At the Board of Trade to-day the quo
tation was 2s14c, with sales of 1857 casks.
Rosin-The situation of the market was
unchanged during the entire week; prices
remained unchanged, and the demand was
good. The lower grades were in special
request, but the mediums and pales were
readily taken along with good lines Of the
commoner grades. The business of the
week was heavy, and amounted to the
volume of the receipts.
Quotations-At the close of the market
to-day the following quotations were bull
letined at the Board of Trade:
Spirits turpentine, firm; 2SAc for regu-
lars.

Hearses did treble duty and carriage driv-
ers carried as many as four separate
groups OF mourners to the cemeteries
Great crowds, largely made up OF fearful
women, gathered in the streets outside
the funeral houses. hOcked in groups
about the old stone church
Broad church and Overlook cemeter-
les. where to-day's interments occurred
There were expressions Of sorrow for the
dead, words of sympathy for the suffer
ing, and ready offers OF succOr to the
bereaved. Fortunately. though, there
are very few. If any, cases of real need
50 far as known. The victims of the hap
less disaster were, in almost all cases,
so situated as to leave no destitution be-
hind, although there may be one or two
cases calling for assistance.
In the churches was the deepest sorrow.
for in almost every case the dead was a
member OF some one of them. The
preachers with choked voices drew les
sons from the fearful wreck, but while
one looked upon it as a visitation Of Prov
idence, called forth by the wickedness of
thousands who were drifting rapidly to
perdlton, another said it was nothing
more nor less than calamity due to gross
carelesSness on somebody's part
Another took the middle ground. and
spoke OF the crash as an appalling disater
which carried its own lessons of fortitude
and Christian forbearance and developed
the love and sympathy for this communi-
ty from the wide world
One of the saddest cases was that of
Seoy's. The mangled body of the father
was left in the hearse. while that of the
son was carried into the house while the
services were being held Within the
dwelling there were means and laments
from the stricken widow and mother, and
deep wailings from her seven fatherless
children. People wept for sympathy Of
this sorely afflicted woman. whose deem
distress carried sorrow to every hart.
Amid il all there arose the soft cooling of
an infant, a three1weeks-old child, the
youngest of the facherless flock
AS the white casket containing her
boys remains was carried out to the sec
ond hearse, the poor woman, leaning on
an elder son, moaned, "Oh, why should
it have happened. Oh, can 1 give them
up?"
For many a year Sunday Aug. 2, 1896.
will be remembered in Bridgeton as a day
of mourning and sorrow.

THE TAILORs' STRIKE.
Some Riots Yesterday Morning.
The Strikers stand Firm.

The Strikers stand Firm.
New York, Aug. 2.-Rioting was the
chief feature of the tailors' strike on the
east side to-day, and although there were
but few arrests made, Acting Capt. Hogan
kept his reserves ready to quell any dis
turbance that might occur
On account of the contractors associ-
alton deciding at a meeting on Saturday
night to open their shops to-day and to
take union or non-union men to work the
Brotherhood of Tailors had committees
in front of every shop at $50 o'clock IN
the morning, and as the men came to
work, tried to pursuade them to join the
strikers. In most cases the committees
were successful, but not without several
small fights, which the police quickly
stopped.
When Leader SchoenfeId was seen and
asked what he thought the outcome of the
present situation would be, he replied:
THE situation to-day is much better than
I ever expected after a ten days strike,
and my men are more determined than
since they went out. l am almost positive
that the contractors will realize in a few
days that if they care to run their shops
they must settle their differences with
the Brotherhood of Tailors."
During the afternoon ii was figured that
about 800 non-union men who were going
to work this morning had Joined the
strikers.
All the shops that signed the agreement
with the brotherhood were working dur
ing the day, and took on about 1900 of
the strikers. From reports received from
Brooklyn and Brownsville it was learned
that the men are still out.
