CELEsTlALS IN A TRUST.
Chinese Laundrymen of New York
Raise the Price of Work.

Raise the Price of Work.
NEW YORK, Nov. IA trust of
Chinese washee-washee men is the lat
Sow, and it has it's tentacles wrapped
around more than 1000 Chinese laun-
drymen in Greater New York Grad
ually the movement to ANAL gamate
the Chinese Iaundrymen Is spreading,
and the organization in this city is
practically the home organization of
combination that has branches in ev-
cry large city in the country.
On the books of the state of New
York the Dop Song Kong Sow is called
the Greater New York American
Laundry association. It was incorpo-
rated in January, 1898, but not until
within the last month has any active
work been done by it's officers Now
there is great hustling at the head
quarters, % Mott street, on the top
floor, and expert Chinese scriveners
are busy every day placing the names
of new members in a large book.
Last month the price of washing and
ironing shirt was raised by every
member of the trust to 10 cents, und
fees for polishing collars and cuffs
were likewise increased. Strenuous
efforts were made to increase the mem
bership. of the trust, and the Dop Song
Kong Sow f1ourished exceedingly. Then
the Hebrew Laundrymen's association
started laundry war, but Lowee Sing,
president Of the Dop Song Kong Sow,
has arranged for q conference with the
Hebrew Lnundrymen's association, and
ten members of that organization will
meet the council Of eighteen Of the Dop
Song Kong Sow Tuesday night at the
joss house at Is Mott street to talk

Live Stock Markets.

SOUTH ST. PAUL, Nov. THE receipts at
the Union Stock yards today were Cattle,
1,1O0; calves, 125; hogs, 500; sheep, 2OO0 The
week opened with prices a shade stronger on
all kinds Of good cattle. There was quite a
little high grade stuff in, both butcher cat
tie and stockers and feeders and 1t sold
quickly. The same conditions that have pre-
vailed for two weeks, in connection with
common stuff, still exist. Prices offered for
such stock are even lower with sales slow
and dragging. This condition will continue
to exist until there is let-up in the shipping
of common stuff. The hog market opened
stronger to &c higher than the close last week
and closed steady in spite of decline else,
where. The run was light one and the
yards were cleared early There was little
and high here as in Chicago. Fat lambs
are in demand.
Hogs-Market strong to &c higher than the
close last week. The run was light one
but the quality was fairly good. The bulk
of the light hogs sold $685. and $40. A
couple of choice sorted punches sod at So 30.

UNWILLINGNEsS OF TRADERS TO
REMAIN SHORT TILL WEDNEs-
DAY THE CAUSE
CARLY TRADING WAS ACTIVE
Some Support Was Derived by Bulls
From the Uneasiness in England
Over the Political Situation
Corn Was Strong Early, bat
Closed Only Shade Higher
Other Grains.

CHICAGO, Nov. THE unwillingness of
raiders to remain short over the election
holiday was the main factor in an advance
# 2$c in wheat today. Corn, oats and pro
visions show no substantial change. Nearly
all OF the activity of the wheat market was
confined to the first forty-fve minutes trad
ing. There was a very evident unwilling
less among big and little shorts to leave
heir contracts uncovered over tomorrow's
election holiday, and the demand from this
source, while it lasted, was very potent. The
main additional support of the market APP
oarently came from the uneasiness in Eng
and over the political situation, as shown
by drop of 9-16 in the consols French
rentes We're also easier. Liverpool, by open
ing time here, had fully recovered the de-
cline it started with, and cables brought far
acceptances and inquiries for corn and oats
Tor export. The session preceding a holiday
always is notably dull, and today was no eX-
ception. After the early demand had been
satisfied the market dropped. Domestic re-
ceipts were very heavy as were worlds ship
ments, and the visible supply was expected
to show a large increase. These facts had
good deal of influence in causing a diminu-
don of the demand by those who were buy
ing on the European situation. During the
last trading hour trading was excessively
dull, but prices held fairly steady, renewed
covering by shorts on a small scale being suf-
fcient to sustain the market. May opened
d. sc higher at 661s G66Ac. 1t sold up with
in short time to 661$c, and gradually de-
clined to 66c. The closing price was 66Nc.
Corn early showed some strength, mostly
through sympathy with wheat, but the sub
sequent weakness in wheat and the liberal
receipts OF corn had influence enough to
cause a gradual decline in the price of the
coarser cereal There was fair shipping
demand for corn and clearances were liberal.
May ranged from 3SBc to 1880, and closed a
shade higher at 1895 QS394c.
The market for oats reflected the action of
wheat and corn. When signs of weakness
appeared, there was rather free offering by
receivers. Cash demand was limited. May
ranged from 24A@2S7sc to 241kc, and closed
a shade lower at 2412Q245sc.
Provisions were almost at a standstill. The
market was firm, helped by better yard
prices and the advance in wheat. What little
trading was done was mostly of a scalping
nature January pork closed unchanged at
$9.C5. January lard a shade higher at $50
5.0215, and January ribs unchanged at $4.65
Estimated receipts tomorrow: Wheat Ais
cars; corn, TO cars; oats, 800 cars; hogs, 49,

On the Battlefield.

For absolute disregard to wounds no
soldier can rival the Turk His abste-
mious life (for your Turk will not
touch intoxicants, and eats very spar
ingly of meat) makes him proof against
wounds which would be fatal to most
Englishmen.
During the recent Graeco- Turkish
war one brave Turk, who was shot
completely through both legs and one
arm. fought valiantly for twenty-four
hours after he received his wounds;
and then it was only by force that he
was carried of to the hospital. An
other Turk who received bullet lin
his abdomen fought on until the bat
tie was ended, and marched a distance
OF ten miles before he even reported
his wound.

Rice bread is the staple food OF the
Chinese, Japanese and large portion
OF the inhabitants of India. In Persia
the bread Is made from rice -four and
milk; it Is called "lawash." The Per-
sian oven is built in the ground about
the size of a barrel. The sides are
smooth mason work. The fire is built
at the bottom and kept burning until
the wall or sides of the oven are thor
oughly heated. Enough dough to form
sheet about foot wide and about
2 feet long is thrown on the bench
and rolled until about az thin as sole
leather, then it is taken up and tossed
and rolled from one arm to the other
and flung on board and slapped on
the side of the oven. 1t takes only q
few moments to bake and when baked
it is spread out to cool. This bread
Is cheap Il cent q sheet); 1t Is sweet
and nourishing.

AMERICAN LANTERNS

They Are Carried Wherever Lanterns
Arc Used All Over tho world.
American lanterns are exported to
all the Countries Of the world where
lanterns are used. Many are sent to
south Africa and to South America.
to Australia and New, Zealand. and
some are sold in Asia. Few, proper
tionately, are sent to Europe.
Kerosene oil Is now commonly burn
ed in lanterns all over the world. There
are no lanterns made nowadays for
cc"dleS GnJH h,.t -1So- o-un.oi iuaue su
that either candles or oil may be burn
ed in them. These are provided with
candle socket, which may be set
down into the oil reservoir, the wick
holder having been removed. BY re-
moving the candle socket and screwing
in the wick holder the lantern Is made
ready to- burn oil. Excepting railroad
and other lanterns for special uses.
substantially all the lanterns made
are of the kind known as
tubular, first introduced about thirty
years ago, and now made in various
notifications as to detail, the tubular
part Of the lantern being designed with
view to producing better combustion
and brighter light. The lanterns
made for ordinary uses are produced
in about forty styles.
The American lanterns are the light
est, the sightliest in appearance and the
best adapted to their use, and they
are sold cheaper than lanterns Of equal
quality produced elsewhere. There are
large establishments in this country
making lanterns only. 1t is probable
that more lanterns are now exported
from this country than from either
England or Germany, and the exports
! Of American lanterns are increasing.
