than ever before 10 date. although wheat
exports have also been larger than last
year. far greater than in ordinary years,
and nearly the largest on record,
Industries have received a wonderful
stimulus, from the conviction that hcstil-
tiles will not last long. and from heavy
government orders. Besides great de-
mand for steel plates. and other iron pro-
ducts and ammunition, government has
ordered 2.50OO0O yards woollen clothes.

goods and great quantities OF provisions
and other supplies and mean while re-
viving confidence has multiplied other de-
mands.
Textile establishments have been re-
ceivlng larger orders within the past few
days. outside those from the government

SUGAR HOUSE WATER.
Mr.. McDermott Advises the
Board to Drop the
Matter.

The Street and Water Commissioners took
no action today in reference to turning Of
the water supply Of the sugar house, Kearny
or Harrison. Allan Med Dermott notified the
commissioners by Telephone from his summer
home at Belrnar, to. drop the sugar house
dispute Suit for the balance of 81 900 is to
be brought against the corporation by Mr..
McDermott on behalf of the city.
The corporation counsel would not at
verbally advise about what action should be
taken in reference to the town of Harrison
He will deal with that problem on Monday
when he returns. A delegation Of Kearney
officials waited on the Street and Water
Commissioners this afternoon and asked
them to give them little more time
Kearney owes 5000. By thes frst of the
month theye xpect to be in position, to pay
up. sssa
The officials pledged themselves to make a
settlement in full not later than July Is.
Kearney itappears is IN bad way fiancially.
The embarrassment is confined to the water
account owning to the fact that the con-
sumers have refused to pay up promptly.
The delinquents are now being forced to set
tie. The Kearney officials expect to collect
sufficient money by July Is, to pay this city
in full.
The time was granted until July Is, Ito
pay Harrison is not to be so leanently
dealt with.

GRAND ARMY MEN AT WAR
zabriskie Post Says Van
Houten's Men Tried to
Take It's Flowers.

Some little murmuring has been heard
from members of the Zabriskie Post, Grand
Army Post against the action of certain
committee of Van Houten Postin connection
with the gathering of flowers from the school
children for the decoration Of departed
comrades graves last Monday. They will
not talk openly about the matter, but from
various sources it is learned that Zabrfskie
Post is indignant because a committee Of
Van Houten Post called at School No. % last
Friday for the donation of flowers from the
committee would have secured the flowers
had it not been for the opportune arrival Of
Past Commander Paterson, of Zabriskie
Post, who had been detailed by his Post to
participate in the memorial exercises of the
Of the pupils onsFriday.
There is tacit understanding among the
various Grand Army Posts of the city, as to
which schools the Posts shall collect flowers
from. No. 23 is along with Nos. s, II and
25 accorded to Zabriskie Post. To these
schools Zabriskie Post invariable sends .
detail to take part in the memorial exercises
of the pupils and a committee to collect the
flowers donated for memorial decoration
purposes. Van Houten Post takes from the
schools on the Heights below Bergen Square,
and some below the Heights, the George
II. Thomas Post, the schools above Franklin
street, on the Heights and the Henry w ilson
Post, the schools in the northern section Of
lower Jersey City.
1t said that this is not the first time that
Van Houten Post has trespassed upon the
custom which is looked upon as law among
the Posts-that four year ago a committee
from Van Houten Post did the same thing
at No. IL School, and. were discovered by re-
presentatives of Zabriskie Post just In time
to prevent the Van Heuten Post comrufttee
from securing the flowers The flowers had
already been loaded upon the Van Houten
committee truck when Comrade Locke
