THE CITY ART GALLERY.

The Mayor Inspects It-Meeting of the
Joint Board of Control.
Mayor Hubbard has given the City
Art Gallery a thorough examination.
The building has had no substantial
repairs, he found, since its erection,
twenty-four years ago.
In that time natural wear and action
of the elements has, he finds, rendered
it necessary that during this year the
roofing shall be made wholly water
tight, which it has not been for four
years; that heater shall take the place
of the old one burned out; that the win
dow sashes, now badly blistered, shall
be scraped, painted and corded, and
that the tinting OF the outer wall gal
leries, damaged by leakage for four
years, should be restored.
Otherwise the handsome building will
become shabby. The use of stoves and
arc lights is to be abandoned as they
damage the frescoing and pictures; and
are uneconomic.
That so little needs to be done after
so long a time of use, proves the very
substantial character of the structure.
When the wall tinting is done about
half of the pictures will be taken down,
and such frames as need it will be re-
paired Some tint repairing is found
to be necessary on the main floor, but
nothing of much extent.
On the whole the needed repairs We're
found to be far less than expected, and
the Mayor says can be accomplished
from time to time at very reasonable
cost.
The Board of Control held meeting
last evening with the Mayor in the
chair, when all these matters were con-
sidered 1t was the first meeting of the
board since Mayor Hubbard has come
into office. w F. Jackson was re-
elected custodian, and the present
watchman and gardener were reap
pointed to the positions they have filled
for several years.
The board adjourned subject to
the call of the chair, Mayor Hubbard
saying he would formulate statement
of his inspection and inquiry and COM
municate with the Trustees as to what
he proposes to do during this year.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE. hi
Prices of Some Products Have Risen,
Because Supplies Are Smaller.
All Business Injured on Account OF
the Delay of the Senate In Acting
on the Financial Question.

NEW YORK, Jan. Pr. G. Dun &
Co. report in their weekly review OF
trade:
Failures for fifteen days of Janu-
ary have shown liabilities amounting to
S12 53S, S,617, against 81, ,501, ,209 in seven.
teen days of last year. and $13,65S,9SO
in eighteen days of 1894. The failures
for the week have been 373 in the
United States, against 363 last year,
and 81 in Canada, against 81 last year.
The week has been marked by improve
ment-apparent rather than real.
Prices of some products have risen, but
only because supplies are believed to be
smaller than was expected. Prices OF
pig iron and billets have risen, but
prices of broken iron and ore have been
made dearer, and not because of any
better demand for finished products.
Money has been easy. but only because
more has been borrowed from Europe
at a time when the actual balance or
trade takes money hence to Europe
The Senate still Injuries all business
by doing nothing, and the treasury can
not expect to gain in gold as yet, but
losses are less than was expected 1t IS
generally assumed that the loan will be
placed with difficulty.
Business at the mills does not revive.
Payments through clearinghouse for
the week are 6.5 per cent. larger than
last year, but 1913 per cent less than in
1891. being less satisfactory than for a
long time.
A deluge of foreign reports Favorable
to wheat speculation found ready an
swer in an advance of over five cents
here, in spite of Western receipts 5O per
cent larger than last year. Atlantic
exports for the week were also much
larger than last year, for the first time
in several months, but for the crop
year to date, all exports have been
about II 100000 bushels smaller than
last year. The market has the idea
that foreign demands hereafter must
be much greater because of deficient sup
plies elsewhere, but no one expects that
the increase will be at all commensurate
with the enormous increase in Western
receipts.
Corn advanced because wheat ad-
vanced, receipts and exports continuing
as before. Cotton rose an eighth, al
though Mr.. Ellison estimated the yield
at 1000 600 bales, and receipts to date
support that estimate, but there are
many who reason that the surplus will
be dangerously small at the end of the
year, even if the yield is 100000 bales
Textile industries do not gain. With
materials practically unchanged, they
halt because the demand for future de-
livery is so narrow. Cotton manufac-
turers have for months been storing VI
goods but prices have gradually de-
clined since October, until now the aver
age is 4 per cent. lower than at that
| point Woolen goods also tend lower
with small demand, and are practically
at the prices of year ago, though wool
is higher Nor is there anything new IN
the boot and shoe industry. for though
hides are about 312 per cent. lower than
fortnight ago, leather does not change
and boots and shoes are but slightly
/ lower.

WEINRICH WINS.
Judge johnson Declines to Change
Court Record Made in 1883.

Court Record Made in 1855.
Several weeks ago Judge Johnson
heard extended arguments in case
growing out of settlement of the es-
tate of the late c. p. Hensley of Andrus
Island The notice to creditors was
published in 1885, when w. c. Van Fleet
was Superior Judge, and the order, as
it appeared on record, was that it
should be published according to law"
which was once a week for four sue
cessive weeks.
The Supreme Court having held that
it is necessary that the entry in the
books Of the Clerk of the court must be
made to show the number of times the
advertisement is to appear, it was con-
tended, in opposition to the claim Of Fl.
Weinrich against the estate, that the
notice to creditors was not proper, and
that the record should now be corrected
by the court.
It appears that to change the record
at this time of the notice to creditors
would be fatal to Weinrich's claim.
The matter was taken under advise
ment by Judge Johnson. and in his de-
cision, rendered yesterday, he declined
to go back eight years and order a COR
rection of a record made at that time.
The result is that Weinrich's mort
gage holds good, unless there should be
an appeal and a reversal by the Su-
preme Court.

THE WATCH ADJUSTER.

He Is IA Man Whose Delicate Work Re-
quires Large Experience and Much Skill.
Perhaps the most highly skilled and
best paid men in the matchmaking
business are the watch adjusters. One
ad}uster in great factory used to re-
ceive $4,000 a year. The adjustep's
work is one of the important elements
of cost in the making Of fine watch.
and a $4,000 adjuster should be COM
petent to perfect any watch, whatever
its delicacy and cost. 1t is the business
of the adjuster to take new watch and
carefully go over all it's parts, fitting
them together so that the watch may
be regulated to keep time accurately to
the fraction of a minute month. Reg
ulating is very different process from
adjusting and much simpler. A watch
that cannot be regulated so as to keep
accurate time may need the hand Of the
adjuster, and il it Is valuable
the owner will be advised to
have it adjusted. There are
watch adjusters in New York working
on their own account and earning very
comfortable incomes. To the adjuster
every watch that comes under his
hands gets to have character Of its
own. He knows every wheel and screw
and spindle that help to constitute the
watch. He knows it's constitution as
a physician knows that of an old pa
tent He can say what the watch needs
after an accident, and can advise as to
whether it is worth adjusting. No new
watch can be depended upon until it
has passed through the hands of the
adjuster, for however admirable the in
dividual parts of the works, their per-
feet balance is to be obtained only by
such study and experiment as 1t is the
business Of the adjuster to make. The
adjuster is a highly-skilled mechanic,
with wide knowledge Of his business,
and the utmost dizziness in its prosecu-
ton.
