THE PRINT-CLOTH MARKET.

Fall River. Mass. May Is CspeciaD.-The reports
Of brokers show that there was a fair business In
the local print-cloth market during the week just
ended. The sales were In excess Of 10000 pieces
and were made up wholly OF odd goods, largely Of
light texture for bunting. Prices were on the full
basis Of ga cents for 6ix64s and the anxiety Of
buyers 10 get 4 certain quality Of cloth led 10 n
little better figure in two cases. The market
has shown signs Of hardening since the big sales
OF three weeks ago and this proves the wisdom Of
the action OF the selling committee in refusing 10
unload below the regular quotation. The market
is bare Of any surplus and the contracts will keep
all going for some time. 1t is estimated that 90
per cent OF the production Of the next four months
Is sold. and. the quotation OF regulars Is guar
anteed at 2% cents II Is supposed that the pro-

Standing of the Clubs,
The Shamrock Twisted,

New York, Aug. 25.-The Tribune
says: Men whose opinions and yacht
ing knowledge are respected and es-
teemed declared yesterday that the
Shamrock was twisted in the midship
section, and that towing had caused
strain which has worked her plates
One yachting expert who has built
yachts and has locked hundreds of
ships, told Tribune reporter last even
ing that in the afternoon he was sur
prised while looking at the English
cup challenger to see that she was bad
ly twisted in the midship section.
1.-The warp is quite apparent" he
continued, ito anyone who knows any
thing about the lines Of a yacht. I
fancied that l detected the twist yes
terday afternoon. l am sure of 1t to-
day, as by Tightening the Shamrock is
much higher out of the water than she
was yesterday. Naturally. towing
caused the straining and made the
plates draw, and on that account I be-
lieve the theory of a leak is quite prob
able. If the yacht came over on the
port tack the tendency would be to
strain the hull to starboard, and such
a strain would undoubtedly cause the
plates on the port quarter to spring"
Others believe that the leak or strain
probably was the result of the accident
which happened to the Shamrock
when she ran aground in her trial trips
with the Prince of Wales Brittania.

His entire party was sick and nearly

A Race Track War.

San Francisco, Aug. 25-Concerning
the reports OF an impending race track
war in this city between the California
Jockey clubs track at Oakland. the
Pacific Coast Jockey clubs track at
1ngleside and Tanfaron park. the new
track in San Mateo county, now build
ing, Thomas H. Williams of the first
named organization said
While / am in a position to state
positively that later on in the season
some arrangement regarding racing
dates may be made with Tanfaron
park or possibly with Ingleside, it
looks very much as though we will run
continuously at Oakland until spring

as early as possible this year." he con-
tinued. Some time since l had con-
ference with Henry Croker and urged
MN to abandon the construction of the
new track at San Bruno, offering him
the profits of a continuous season at
Oakland. | told him that If matters
We're so arranged that Ingleside could
be opened, we would exchange dates.
He said he could not see his way clear
to accept my offer. Then / decided to
go ahead and race"
The season will open Sept. q at Oak
land. Work is going ahead at Tan

ment of the early opening of the Oak
land track an effort will be made to

TO FIGHT THE TRUST.
Eastern Butchers viii Raise Five Million
Dollars.

| Eastern Butchers VIII Raise Five Million
Dollars.
New York, Aug. 25-The executive COM
mittee of the Retail Butchers Protective
association met last night to consider
| means to fight the Chicago wholesalers.
| They decided to recommend the raising of
fund of 5000. 900. OF this sum So, 900. 600
| is to be raised by the retailers them
selves and 100000 by popular subscrp-
ton at 81 share, with a maximum hold
ing by any one person of 20 shares.
When the committee went into session
it had pledged subscriptions of 500 900.
When it had finished this had been in
| creased to s1.O0O000 President Wagner
said there was no doubt whatever that
the entire 100000 would be quickly
raised by the retailers in New York city
alone. President Wagner says the price
is not fixed by market conditions, but
by caprice.
Wagner declares that 60 per cent. of the
slaughtered beef is available for food sup
ply and the rest has to be disposed of
for various uses, but little is lost. He
says this city is more favorably situated
for the profitable production of this pro-
duct than any of the Western cities. He
says cattle can be shipped here and more
economically slaughtered and placed on
the market than in any other city in the
country.
1t is asserted by the retailers that there
are available here for slaughterers more
than 5000 men who have been compelled
for different causes to leave the butcher
business and get into some more profita-
BILE calling.
When asked what truth there was in
the rumor that John Rockefeller, William
{. Whitney and other great capitalists
had offered to help fight the trust, Wag-
ner said a committee was now trying to
meet Mr.. Rockefeller, but he is out of the
city and has not been accessible
Wagner did not know what Mr. Whit
ney intended to do. He said a number of
wealthy cattlemen have agreed to come
forward the moment the venture takes
tangible shape and take large blocks of
the stock. President Wagner said the ex-
ecutive committee would not yet recon-
mend site, but that a majority of the
members favor four blocks that have been
offered in Long Island City.
Mr.. Kahn prophesied that the trust
would be asking for terms in very short
time.
Both President Wagner and Mr. Kahn
laughed al the claim of the trust that 1t
mas to pay more for cattle now and that
is the cause of the rise in the prices of its
meats. Both say the stock raisers are
complaining bitterly that they are getting
none of the benefit of the higher beef
prices, but that. on the contrary. they are
at the mercy of the trust which, they
say is scaling down the prices Of stock

A Strike Probable.

Philadelphia, Aug. 25.-The employees
at Cramps shipbuilding yards have de-
cided to present to the firm a remon-
STRANGE against the recent discharges
in various departments. On next Sun
day eight committeeman, representing
the four local lodges of the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists, which
has headquarters in Chicago, will meet
to draft resolutions.
One of Cramps machinists said that
these resolutions will contain certain
demands which the men believe the firm
will reject. The remOnstranCe will be
presented to the company on Monday
and if a satisfactory reply is not re-
ceived Immediately a strike will follow
on Tuesday. The men say that all the
machinists, blacksmiths and boiler
makers, numbering several hundred.
will stop work if the Cramps do not
accede to their demands
