forerunner OF the conditions later on.
Many bicycle makers who insist that they
are not cutting prices on $50 wheels re-

in shutting down work in their
factories, there has been an over

the demand for cheap wheels is very
large. All the small makers with ma
chine shop factories and limited resources
have disposed OF their production at small
profits, and they expect TO be In business

ALL DUE To THE BICYCLE.
Effects of the Craze Upon Various Lines
of Business in New England.

Westerly. r T., June 12-BEsiness men
IN New England In al lines complain OF
the injury that Is done them by the oI-
cycle. Thousands OF wheels are sold every
spring on the iastailrnent pan. and the
surplus earnings Of the season are ex-
h2usted in meeting the monthly pay
ments. As consequence money thar

their industries, are feeling the bicycle
craze severely. The watch and jewelry
making towns are hard hit. There was a
time, not so long ago. when the ambition
OF every young man was 20 own gold

shoestring. His surplus earnings go into

Strange as It may seem, the towns
where granite quarryfng Is the leading
Industry are among those TO suffer. In
these towns the getting out of paving
blocks was formerly an important and
profitable branch Of the trade. Hundreds
OF men were employed, and the refuse
pieces of granite were worked up into
blocks. Since the wheel came into general
use there has been demand for smoother
pavements, and asphalt is taking the
place of granite IN the cities. As a cor
sequence hundreds of paving cutters are
out OF employment, and the visitor IN
