The announcement of the fact that the
Federal Steel plant at Joliet has closed
down also had bad effect on the steel Sc
curities yesterday. This news was out IN
the morning and it resulted in a tumble
in the prices of these securities Des-
patches received in the street during the
day were conflicting. 1t was said by some
that the company has closed no mills eN-
cept those which shut their doors when
the Steel and Wire company made its SEN
sational move. On the other hand, several
of the Steel and Wire mills resumed oper-
atoms yesterday and President Lambert
was quoted as saying that the business out
look is entirely satisfactory. The steel
stocks declined practically from the open
ing to the close OF the session and closed
near the bottom. They affected the entire
market adversely.

BROOKLYN, May THE Brooklyns
took the Phillies into camp at Washing

departments. The champions pounded Pr

strong lead that Kennedy was enabled to
let up toward the close Kennedy re-

BOSTON, May Heavy batting was
the feature of today's game with New
York, the home club pounding out is hits
for total of 30. The Giants worked
hard to win but the Bostons were out fc~
the game, and hammered Seymour just as
hard as they did Hawley, whom he sue
ceeded in the fifth. Chambers was given
a try in the last three innings, and Glenn
ents took Clarks place behind the tat,
The latest acquisition was guyed unmerci-
fully by the Giants. but he had plenty of

not wish to lose it by a connection with
Mr.. Gates, notified the company some time
ago that unless Mr. Gates resigned they
would. 1t was then that they were given
the promise that Mr.. Gates would disap-

above facts. The statement was signed by
Henry Seligman and Frederick Strauss.
The street will have greater respect than
ever for the Seligmans after the incident
even though, perhaps. II is hardly TO be
supposed that their position is wholly and
only what they state it to be. This decis-
ion of Mr.. Gates cannot be set aside until
the annual meeting of the company. Steel
End Wire securities will most surely be
stunned on this account by the speculn-
tive public. II is probable that the COM
pany has been hurt permanently and badly
by the entire Gates episode But it may
be suggested to any too enthusiastic bears
that the news is now out regarding the
company, and that rally is more than
likely for its securities. There is nothing
more true of dull market than the fact
that all bad news is discounted. and its
actual publication followed usually by an
advance in price.

Decrease of Drunkenness.

In an address before the railroad
branch of the Y. NJ. G. A. of New
York City, Chauncey M. Depew made
statement as to the decrease OF
drunkenness among railroad men that
is worth repeating, coming from SO
high an authority. Twenty veras ago,
he said, when there were about 10, 900
men in the New York Central service,
the average proportion of men dis
charged for drunkenness within Ger.
tain period was at least 20 per cent.
Now, with 10000 men employed by the
company, not one per cent is dropped
from the service for that cause.

Foods vary so greatly as to render it
difficult for a farmer to select with a
knowledge of the kinds which should
be used. Only certain proportions OF
all foods are digestible but the indi-
gestible portions are valuable in the
manure heap. Bran at $l2 per ton is
worth the price, even if applied to the
crops direct, but when used as food it
assists to balance the ration by supply
ing mineral matter, thus promoting
growth of che animal while adding
greatly to the value of the manure.
