DRY GOODS

NEW YORK, October 30-I1he dry goods
market situation is no brighter and there
is no tangible reason for supposing that
next week will see mending of the con-
ditions. Sellers have settled down to a
belief that the business to be looked for
now is that of 1898. and seem to have tacit-
~ agreed to work along this line The
demand in all cotton lines is dull, as here
tofore, and in woolens there has been a
hull between the heavy buying season and
the time for deliveries. which makes the
day to day market very slow indeed In
silks and dress goods the best results are
being obtained at present though the
market for spring shifting prints percales,
and the like, is in relatively good shape

OF Brown Cheviot. With Cap to Match.
The boys golf suit here pictured is in
the style known as the Norfolk, natty
suit for cycling and, in fact, all other
outdoor sports. 1t is reproduction
from The Delineator of recent date.
The Norfolk jacket when worn with
close-fitting trousers is becoming and
neat for school or general wear, the
box-plaits, broad belt and ample pock-
cts making it favorite with the small
boy at all times. These suits are al
ways made of seryiceable materials,
tweed, hOmespun, cheviot and either
rough or smooth worsted being COM
mendable for both their durability and

part to the decline in raw material The
latter has declined 11xc or more since the

above the parity of cost compared with

and business is confined TO what is actu-

way. Dress woolens are quiet. but the
mills have booked fair orders for spring

WHITE STILL MISSING.
No Trace Yet of the Old Man who
Strangely Disappea red.

The mystery of the disappearance of
solomon White, the aged visitor iron.
Efie, Pa, as told exclusively in The Morn
ing Times. is still puzzling the police and
his friends. Up to a late hour no tidings
had been heard from the missing man.
Mr.. White came here early in the wesl;
with his brpther-in-law, Mr.. william Green
field. They had business at the Pension
Bureau and stopped at the st. Jmaes Hot tel
Mr.. White was last seen by his friends last
"Wednesday about noon. when he took din
ner at the hotel and then started out 70
take walk on the Avenue.
He is sixty five years old and quite
feeble and infirm, ene of his arms being
nearly paralyzed, and his steps were very
shaky and uncertain. Before leaving the
hotel he exhibited large roll of bills. and
1t is feared that he may have been lured
away and robbed, or perhaps have met with
violence. as he was in no condition to
defend himself
Mr.. Greenfield endeavored to have the
old gentleman leave his money at the
hotel, but this he refused to do. Searching
inquiry has been made a the depots, but
no trace OF the missing man could be
found today. The police are endea voring
TO find the man. but have httie or moth

CAPTAIN GAILLARD'S REPORT
A showing Of the Daily ConsuInptioii
and Waste of Water-Sixly Per
Cent of the Conduit's ultimate
Capacity Telephone Project Be-
tween Great Fails aud the Office.

Capt. y. y. Gaiilard has reported TO Gen.
Wilson, chief Of engineers that the total
amount that has been expended for the
construction. and maintenance OF the aque-
duct and its accessory works TO June 80,
1897, including the Washington aqueduct
tunnel and the new reservoir near Howard
University was S6,49OT1O.51, of which
amount the District of Columbia paid
ST. ,292 ,32O.25.
During the month of July the height
OF The water ON the gauge at the mouth of
the conduit at Great Falls has varied be,
tween I511 and 151.7 feet above the
datum plane. During the month the con-
dition Of the water at the distributing res
ervoir, divided into days, was as follows;
Very turbid, 4 days: turbid, days; slightly
turbid, 3 days; clear, 22 days. Excluding
the DAYS hen the water was purposely
lowered, In order to measure the consuinp-
ton OF water, the level at the distributing
reservoir varied between 146.S5 and Al. 90
feet above tine datum plane.
The filling of the narrow, shallow strip
Of the DaIecarlia reservoir near the south
connection has been completed. a small
foathouse was built at the Dalecariia
reservoir Slight repairs were made to
the conduit road and the bitches and efii-
bankrnents cleaned. From the channels
around the Dalecarlia reservoir were re-
moved about 100 cubic yards OF sand de
posted by the storm OF July Z. The trees
blown down by the storm We're removed.
On July and current meter observa-
tons Were AIKEN in the conduit at manhole
No 30. Those taken on the latter date
are of great interest, as they actually meas
ured the ma xinum discharge which can be
developed in the portion of the conduit be-
tween Great Fails and the DalecarlIa rsser-
voir during the lowest stage OF the Potomac
with the draw raised IL feet, the conduit
thoroughly cleaned. The mean velocity

spending to discharge OF about 15,500 900
gallons IN twenty-fOur hours, or about
81 900 900 gallons per day more than the
present average daily consumption and
waste.
Ten years ago the average daily con
sumption and waste was 3 3 per cent of
the ultimate capacity of the conduit. Now
is is about 60 per cent. During August it
is proposed to clean out deposits at the
mouth 0f tie conduit. All the copper aud
galvanized iron wire has been delivered
for the construction OF the proposed tele
phone line between Great Falls and the
office in this city
One hundred and twenty five poles have
also been delivered. and application has
been made to the District Commissioners
for the necessary permission to string 2
pair of copper wires on the District of Colum-
bia fire alarm, ard the District Of CoIun-
Ina arm Of the Western Unionpoles between
the office and the Conduit road.
