U. s. RUBBER co.
Favorable Prospects for the Coming
 Years Business.

Favorable Prospects for the Coming
 Years Business.
 dispatch from Boston, Mass, May g. says: "The U. S. Rubebr Co. to-day issued it's prices for rubber products for the 1S9S-99 season, which begins about a month late this year owing to the uncertainties of trade conditions through the war situation, and for the purpose of making improvements in plants. This years price list averages 5.4o per cent. higher than last years. The discounts are expected to be less than last years.
 Although they are not now definitely known they are expected to run from 70 to 20 5-10 on first qualities and from 25 to 25 5-10 per cent. on second quali- ties"
 A dispatch to Prince & Whitely on the subject referring to the above says: These prices should be extremely profitable for the U. s. Rubber Go. as their crude rubber, sufficient to last until the new crop is at hand in July, was purchased at much lower prices than those which now rule and there are prospects of a large increase in trade. The western country, where the largest part of the U. s. Rubber Go. S business is done, is financially better off than in years, and assurances from there point to a large increase. The augmentation of the army will bring orders for blankets and if campaign is to be carried on in Cuba during the rainy season large orders of shoes and | coats may be expected. The mills are | commencing on the years run and will all be in operation within a few days" The Boston Advertiser says: The annual statement of the United States Rubber Go. will be satisfactory to the shareholders of the company. The net profits from the sales of the fiscal year ending April 1 will show hand some increase over the previous year. In spite of the fact that prices were about 16 per cent. less than the previ- ous year, the economies practiced by | the reduction in salaries, expenses, etc., and an increased output brings about this result. Considerable criticism of | the present management will have nc 1 effect upon the coming election, as the executive committee owns and controls 2SS,000 shares of the 100000 shares.

WHY PEOPLE BUY AT LOW PRI-
 CES.
The F. M. Brown & Co. Delivery De-

The F. M. Brown &, Go. Delivery De-
 partment Rushed With Sales.
 "When will you deliver my goods?" This message is received at the tele- phone every five minutes at F. M. Brown & Co.'S. An inspection at the stores where the receivers sale is being conducted yesterday showed the de- livery department to be in an almost hopeless condition. Goods are piled so high that the Spanish navy would fail to attack and in other parts of the store there are barircades of sold goods awaiting delivery.
 Said an employee: "What seems to inspire the tremendous buying at pres ent is the war scare. People who re- member the days of '63 and '64 know that cottons which sold then for 29 cents a yard we sell to-day for cents. Linen shirt bosoms sold then for g cents each: we sell to-day the whole shirt warranted for S9 cents.
 People are buying at this receivers $ sale on rising market and unless the receiver gives orders to raise prices this condition of selling goods faster than we can deliver them will con- tinue."

BRIDGEPoRTs COMPANY K.


 Bridgeport, May 3.--Company K, Fourth regiment, will leave the city for the state military rendezvous at Man. tic tomorrow afternoon about APO un- der civic and military escort and a public demonstration at which the gov- ernor of the state will assist. The com- pany is to be transformed into heavy battery as volunteers of the United States army and while they are in Uncle Sam's service they will be de- tached from the Fourth regiment. At the termination of the war and upon their discharge they will drop into the Fourth regiment again as Company K, unless they have in the meantime been assigned to other military duty as a part of the regular army, which may be a probability, as thorough coast defense system is to be established and hereafter maintained.
 The line of march is as follows: Main street to Golden Hill street, to Harrison street, to Washington avenue, to Park avenue, to Park place. to Broad street, to State street, countermarch ta Main street, to Fairfield avenue, to the rail- road station.
 The parade will be reviewed at the city hall by Governor Cooke and staff, General T. l.. Watson, the aldermen and other city officials and other in- vited guests. Governor Cooke has mo- tified the mayor that he will be pres- ent.
 Other organizations are expected to announce their intention to take part in the parade and it is probable that a third division will be formed.
 President Manwaring of the Associat- ed Wheelmen has received an invita- tion to take part in the parade, and has called upon all wheel riders of both sexes in the city to turn out.

How Are You Supplying Your Table With
 Water?

We assume that you are using something besides the ordinary city or town water supply, as 1t is now generally recognized that water as it comes direct from the mains Is too impure for drinking. Are you using spring water?
