All of the officials of the company thus

Information desired by the committee on
account of Mr.. Lamont having the books.
The committee to-day also went into
some of the affairs of the dock depart
ment and the fact was elected that many

another company without bids being asked

New York, Sept 2o.-News paper has

within the last three weeks. The news
papers of New York city, according to an
official of the company which supplies all
but two of the papers printed in this city,
use 400 tons of paper daily at a cost of ,
cents a pound
The recent sharp advance means 50, 900
a day more to the newspapers. or $3.50, 900
year over the price which has hereto
fore obtained. The cost of the consump-
ton IS now $4,000 a day. The tendency is
60 raise the price still higher. The ad-
vance is due partly to the drought of last
summer, which seriously impaired the
water-power of the paper mills.
Book paper has also gone up a quarter
of a cent a pound, and letter paper from
three-quarters of a cent to one cent a
pound.
The price of shoe leather has gone up
from 2l2 to per cent. within the last week
owing TO the scarcity of coWhide material
Shoe manufacturers have signed contracts
with wholesale and retail shoe houses
which Will not expire for months to come,
so the patrons of retail houses will not
feel the advance until December. In the
meantime the manufacturers who have
bound themselves by contract will be the
sufferers from the rise.
A sharp advance has been made in the
price of crude sole leather. For two
months the cost has been steadily going
up, and yesterday it had aVanced 6 cents
per pound above the market price paid In
August Still higher prices are looked for
by manufacturers.
The increased cost is due to the scarcity
of cattle as compared with the demand.

SLUMP IN MILLING STOCK.
Bottom Fell Out on Comparatively
Light Transactions.


New York, Sept. 20.-Wall street was
treated to a sensation to-day by the United
States Flour and Milling shares On Tues
day the common stock closed at IS. To-
day it sold at "A. The preferred, which sold
at IS on the preceding day, dropped to 50.
Their net decline for the day were 81 and
% points, respectively.
These breaks We're made on compare
lively light transact tons, only LOO shares
of the common and 1,3G0 of the preferred
changing hands. The street was much ex-
erclsed over the declines, although very
little of their stock is held by commission
houses or by spectators at large.
The cause of the flour and milling slump
was the liquidation of long stock, partial
" by insiders and the withdrawal of all
inside support. Officers of the company
stated that certain insiders, who have had
buying orders in the stocks ever since
they were listed, found that the general
weakness of the stock market was in
duclng liquidation by trade interests, and
the recent death of c. a. PiIlsbury might
also lead to liquidation. They consequent
ly withdrew their orders and left the
stocks 10 take care of themselves.
Thomas A. Mcintyre, treasurer of the
company who is regarded in Wall street
as The most important of the directors,
said
There is no real reason for such a de-
cline. There is nothing to warrant it, and
present prices by no means exhibit the
value of the stock We are making money.
Present earnings showed surplus for The
common stock. I do not think that in
sters will long neglect the opportunities
afforded by the slump"

had been quenched that it was known that
two men had been burned to death.
