eral Roe has taken NO cognizance of
Commander-in-C Chief Albert d. Shaw
and has sent him no Invitation to any
OF the functions; that the invitation for
the G.. A. X. organizations to participate
in the parade has been extended ut sec
ond hand through Colonel II. H. Adams,
and that General o. O. Howard has
Deen placed in command of the G. A. r.
forces ON the day of the parade, con
trary to the regulations of that organi-
zation.
This action has been contemplated for
some time, and the entire matter has

fused to reconsider his plans.

THE RISE IN NEWSPAPER.
Gone Up Quarter of a Cent in the
Pound in Three Weeks.

New York, Sept. 20.-Newspaper has
gone up quarter of a cent a pound
within the last three weeks. The news
papers of New York city, according to
an official of the company, which sup
plies all but two of the papers printed in
this city, use 400 tons of paper daily at
a cost of two cents pound. The recent
sharp advance means $1,000 day mere
to the newspapers, or $730,000 n year
over the price which has heretofore Oh
tanned. The cost Of the consumption is
now $4,000 day The tendency is to
raise the price still higher. The advance
is due partly to the drought Of last sum
mer, which seriously impaired the water
power of the paper mills.
Book paper has also gone up quarter
of a cent pound, and letter paper from
II Of a cent to one cent a pound.
The price of shoe leather has gone up
from 2115 to . per cent. within the last
week, owing to the scarcity of cowhide
materials. Shoe manufacturers have
signed contracts with wholesale and re-
tail shoe houses, which will not expire
for months to come and SO the patrons of
retail houses will not feel the advance
until December. In the meantime the
manufacturers who have bound them
selves by contract will be the sufferers
from the rise in price. A sharper adj
vance has been made in the price of
crude sole leather. For two months the
cost has been steadily going up, and yes
terday it had advanced q 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
