The factory is 4Sx126 feet in dimen-
sions, one story in height, mounted
on a good stone wall four feet in
height. The machinery is operated
by three lines of shafting turned by
three electric motors. No. l line
Shafting is turned by 20-horse- power
electric motor which drives a Berlin
Surfacer, a 15-inch hatcher and a
40-inch fan. No. line Shafting is
turned by 15-horSe-pOwer motor and

and mailing machine. This mailing
machine is an interesting contrivance.
TO demonstrate its capacity we will
say that one good man might be able
to nail 200 boxes in one day but the
same man operating this mailing
machine would nail 1000 boxes per
day. With one blow of the chuck it
drives from l to II nails, clinching
them at the same time. The nails
can be driven in a straight line OF
alternated in zig gag line as much as
two inches apart. The filing room
will be one of the best if not the best
equipped filing rooms in the state. 1t
is furnished with Baldwin, Tuttle &
Bolton machinery .woughout and
includes in it's equipment an auto
matte grinder, a saw Stretcher, full
set OF brazing clamps, and an automa.
tic knife grinder with straight OF
concave bevel.
The officers of the company as
stated before are John Daily, president;
j. s. Thompson, vice president and
general manager; and Edward J. DAILY,
secretary and treasurer. The working
force is composed of 19 men at present
but will be increased to 35 as soon as
the full machinery Of the plant can be

the following boys from this town:
Martin Anderson, shipper: J. W.

tiler; f. Gilkey, head grader; and VIM.
Whitaker, assistant shipper are
from Merrill. John Wooddell, cutter,
is from PittSville. A. H. Barr of
Merrill is the uperintendent of the
factory.
The new office which will be pre-
sided over by Manager Thompson,
assisted by Secretary DAILY, is being
built about seven or eight rods south.
west of the factory.
Manager Thompson has ordered a
4O-horse-power electric motor to take
the place of one of the 15-horse-power
motors, which will give the factory
75-horSe- power instead of the 5O-horse-
power by which it is operated at
present. This change was made since
the above was written. He also
informs us that they have just
received another order for boxes that
it will require 100000 feet Of lumber
to fill.

SPECULATION ACTIVE
OF an Extraordinary Character OF
Monday-Large Number
of Sales.

New York. April 23.-The extra.
oxdinary activity of the speculation
is witnessed by the record of the ag'
gregate sales for the day, which rose
again to 2,3S2,500 shares, compared
with the previous record on Friday of
2,193, 400 shares. The character of
the market showed a marked change
from that of the later part of last
week. when the tendency was distinct
ly upward throughout the list.
Except for the slump in Amalga-
mated Copper at the opening the mar
ket started off with every appearance
of continuance in full swing of last
weeks active speculation for the rise.
Gains of l to l1s on initial purchases
Of from 1000 to $4,000 shares were
shown by number of the leading
active stocks, including st. Paul,
Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific and
Pennsylvania, and Southern Pacific
was rushed up 2B. The last named
stock was a conspicuous figure in the
dealings all day. and even after the
general market had commenced going
to pieces the price was advanced to
53&, which was SIS over Saturdays
close. st. Paul after various fluctu-
ations. rose as much to IT'S. There
were periods of strength also among
the coalers, the local fractions, the
Southwesterns, Sugar and some indi-
vidual stocks. Pacific Mail was
rushed up Ga. apparently in sym.
pathy with Southern Pacific. The
strength in the Southwesterns was
on the renewed talk of combination,
including Chicago and Alton and an
entry into Pittsburg. These extreme
advances came after the opening
gains had been pretty generally
wiped out under the flood of realiz.
ing which has been the feature of the
morning dealings on every day sue.
ceeding a notable advance. 1t was
very evident that the bull leaders
were using every endeavor to turn
the market upward in order to revive
the outside speculative buying. But
they did not succeed in reviving gen.
eral strength at any time. The up
ward movements were not accom-
panied generally by any news and
were based almost wholly on the ar
gument that the price paid for Bur-
lington warranted by contrast much
higher prices for practically all other
railroad stocks. The bulls sought 20
make capital Of the advertised invi.
tation for subscriptions to the new
British consol issue, as arguing conf
dence by bankers in the future plenty
or money. but the sharp rise in sterl.
ing exchange rates in response to the
large subscriptions said by the bank
ers having them in charge to be re.
ceived for the loan detracted from
the force Of this argument.
The bond market was active and
broad. but the price changes were ir.
regular. Total sales, par value, S..

WITHOUT PAY.
Akron Without Funds and EN-
ployes May Have to Wait
Till Septe NH Der.

Akron, April 23.-Although the city
of Akron has spent nearly 100000 the
past year tor extensions in the fire de-
partment. a crisis has been reached
and there is no money wherewith to pay
the firemen. They have had no money
for six weeks and have no prospect of
getting any until September. The po-
lice are in the same predicament. A de-
cision first given by City Solicitor Os-
borne Esgate holds that the men can.
not collect their pay If the city refuses
it, because the city has no legal right
to employ them unless money to meet
the expenses is in the treasury. This
ruling is causing the men to do a lor
of thinking. The city is even restrain
ed from telling them to go ahead--that
their pay will be forthcoming.
