PHILADELPHIA STRIKE.
Number of Men Out Is Being Rap
idly Reduced.


Philadelphia. May 10.--The order is
sued yesterday by the executive board
of the Allied Building Trades Unions
council, calling from work all members
wherever brotherhood carpenters are
employed. appears today to have had
salutory effect on the cause Of the
allied council. While the number of
strikers has been considerably in
creased in consequence of this order,
contractors on large operations seem
disposed to aid the allied council. AS
an evidence of this, five general con-
tractors today notified the brotherhood
carpenters in their employ that unless
they affiliated with the allied councii
their services would be disposed with.
The carpenters, who numbered about
125, at once expressed their willingness
on their promise to join We're furnished
with allied council cards permitting
them to continue at work.
Secretary Joseph 3. Allen, of the
allied council, today said that from the
business agents report SO far received,
he is led to believe that there will be
numerous defeCtions from the ranks of
the Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Juiners.
Mr.. Allen estimates the number of
strikers at 11,o00 but says this number
| is being rapidly reduced.

All buying except sheets and struc-
tural shapes has stopped entirely.
Some prices have weakened under the
influence. but for the most part values
have not gone further than they
should to re-establish those ratios that
should be observed. No business is Of

prices, therefore prices are not being
severely cut. The quotations are pure

make, but at the same time no busi-
ness is being done at the quotations.
Producers frankly say that the market
is at such and such a figure, but add
that they are not taking any business

best side to the market is that the
waiting policy is almost at an end.
Buyers cannot wait much longer: some
are crowded now for material and
must come in. The same situation is
good for the foundry irons. The market
is really lower than producers will ac-
cept and no business is being done.

BRICKYARD WAR ENDS.
Manufacturers Willing to Sell to
Employers of Union Labor.

Chicago, May 10-The manufacturers
and dealers in brick and mill supplies
have opened their plants and no longer
refuse to sell material for building to
citizens or contractors employing union
labor. Less than 300 men had been en-
ployed in the Cook county brick yards
since the outbreak of the labor war.
More than 1900 men were at work yes
terday.
Fear of a general strike of trade
unionists. as a possible result of the
labor convention next Sunday, is be-
lieVed to be one of the powerful fac
tors looking toward settlement all
along the line.

AMERICAN FLOUR IN MALTA
Growing Trade Favored by Island
Government,

Washington, May 10.-United States
Consul John II. Grout, at Nallctta, in
forms the state department that there
is a rapidly growing demand for
American flour in Malta. which is due
i'm great part to the recent establish
mcnt of direct steamship communica-
tiOn with the United States.
The Malta government, the consul
says. is disposed TO favor the impor-
tation of the wheat itself, rather than
flour, it being necessary to have at
all times a supply Of wheat on hand
for naval and military purposes. Now
that certain regulations governing the
importation Of -four. which have been
under consideration by the local gov
ernment of Nalletta. have been satis-
factorily prepared and adjusted. quite

is expected from the United States.

AN IDEAL CLIMATE.

The first white man to set foot on Utah
soil, Father Silvestre Veles de Escalante
who reached the GREAT SALT LAKE on
the 23rd day of Sept, 1776, wrote in his
diary: Here the climate is so delicious, the
air so balmy, that it is a pleasure to
breathe by day and by night" The climate
of Utah is one of the richest endowments
of nature. On the shores of the Great Salt
Lake especially-and for fifty miles there
from in every direction-the climate of eli
mates is found. To enable persons to partic-
ipate in these scenic and climatic attrac-
tions and to reach the famous HEALTH,
BATHING AND PLEASURE RESORTS of
Utah, the UNION PACIFIC has made a
rate to OGDEN and SALT LAKE CITY of
one fare for the round trip, plus $500, from
Missouri River, to be in effect June 21st,

New Orleans. Sept 1-Annual review of
the season of 1S99-1900, and the prospects
Tor the first season of the twentieth CEN
tury As predicted In our annual review of
September l last year the cotton world
mas experienced the best years business
during the past twelve months that it has
ever enjoyed, the cotton crop proved a
snort one and southern consumption in
creased 1918 bales, whereas northern
consumtion decreased 121 1876 bales. Southern
taklngs Tor the year figure 1857, liz, against
l,39s,399 last year, while taldngs of the north
were but 2,o6S,30O, against 2,190,095 In 1898,
thus lending more support to our conviction
that the land of cotton will in a few years
be also known as the Manchester of Amer
lea.
The Texas crop. including Indian Terri
tory, gave yield of 2590,512, against $685.. 091
last year. The total crop of the south
figures 9, 6,416, against 11274 $40 last year.
and while nearly 100000 bales less, never
thelesS earned for the south something like
$3II, 4566 $40, or nearly SOS, 900 more than
did the crop of 11,25O00O year before last.
The position that New Orleans occupied
during this memorable year, which opened
| at prices lower with but one exception than
| for forty years, but sold higher than any
| price for the last decade, is worthy of more
than passing notice. That our market in
| prices is strkngly told by the fact that
| only did we sell above the price at New
| York for time but more by drawing cot
| ton to be delivered here from all principal
ports and points of the country. In doing
this and surprising Galveston in port
ceipts, the Crescent City has recovered her
prestige of old, which we will strive to
| maintain by giving our usual close atten-
ton to business.
Under conditions that promise another
short crop, comparatively speaking, and
with so small visible to add to high prices,
are to be looked for the coming season, and
the south has reason to hope for a repe-
tition of last years prosperity. The out
look for continued active speculation, with
lively uations, is also excellent. The
| lowest for middling the past year was So
| in September, and the highest 10A in July.
| On private cable advices from Liverpool to
| the effect that the stock Of American cot
| ton in that port was overestimated by 1900
| bales, which would reduce the holdings of
