TAILoRs' STRIKE.
Nearly Twelve Thousand Men and
Women Are Idle.


NEW YORK, May 17.-There was no
outward manifestation of excitement
today ait the headquarters Of the strik-
ing tailors. William Cohen, business
agent of the Brotherhood Of Tailors,
of which the strikers are nearly all
members, said today: I'm this city,
Brooklyn and Newark, $4,000 men and
women are on strike, 10000 Of them
in this city, where 1000 shops on the
East side are closed. This strike eff
fects the entire clothing manufacturing
trade. The reason Of the strike is the
failure of the contractors to live UP
to the agreement. About 5000 persons
struck yesterday morning, and the 9TH
ers last night, and early today, when
they had finished their task"
Cohen said that assistance was eX-
pected from the Progressive Tallors
Union No. II, which would in all prob
ability order a strike. The union num-
bers about 1000 members, who make
the better class of ready-nade gar
ments. Of the strikers. $4,000 belong to
the Brotherhood of Tailors; $500 to the
Children Jacket Makers union, and
about LOCO to the Sailors Jacket Max
ers' union. Reports received at the
Headquarters were to the effect that
every shop was closed in Brownsville,
as the section of Brooklyn where the
garment workers live is called. In
Newark about 800 are out, all told.
The cutters, who form separate or
ganization, have not struck. They will
20 on working for while, but will
soon be forced to idleness, because
goods cannot be made up.

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nay 17.--There were few
new features this morning, which caused
very weak feeling in wheat to prevail at the
opening. The trade, as whole, was sur
prised at the pronounced weakness at Liver
pool and the large shipments from Russia. 1t
was equally surprised later to find that our
visible supply showed decrease of over g.
600 900 bu, while LOCO 900 or 1900 900 bu was
expected. The opening price for July wheat
was full cent under Saturdays close, and In
the course Of the mornings trading touched
a point 3sc lower. The visible supply state
ment. together with higher cables later caused
a reaction to a slightly higher level, and by
noon the market was strong at 12c over the
low price Of the morning. The character of the
trading was not of reassuring order; the
buying was mostly against puts. and the
balance purely of scalping nature, owing
to lack of outside trade. There is this to
say, that the more conservative element of
the trade expected a reaction from the ad-
vance recently made, not that they believed
In a lower level but that 1t Is natural for
those having good profits to endeavor to secure
them. The undertone of the market for the
present is strong.
The usual quota OF Monday statistics came
to hand quite early this morning, and on the
whole was disappointment to the bulls. Crop
reports were in the main more favorable, per-
feet weather being reported from all points
In this country. In the middle states no I'M
provemen: can be expected, but the Southwest
and the Pacific states show Improvement
Spring wheat conditions appear to be perfect
Snow, of the Orange-Judd Farmer, estimates
that the winter wheat acreage Is 1 600 900
acres less than last year. The government last
December gave the area as 23,9S5,O00 acres.
According to Snow, the acreage will be g.
100000 acres less, and the spring wheat area
is largely increased.
Eleven o'clock cables reported Liverpool
wheat ed higher, and that Back sea ship
ments OF 4.0SO,000 bu were almost entirely
visible supply shows decrease OF 2125 GOO bu
for the week, or nearly ,eie 0a0 bu more than
estimated on Saturday. This leaves only os,-
73T,0 900 bu in tho visible. Chicago decreased
719000 bu, Duluth a75, ,S37 bu, and Minneapolis
