FARMERS HARD AT WORK,

Perhaps never did the farmers go to work with more zest than on Monday morning with the sun shining once more and d cool fresh drying wind. With work of all kinds more than two weeks behind all feel like trying to beat dame nature and make up lost time. There is much complaint that seeds planted just before the storm not coming up. Some pieces of corn threaten serious trouble in this line.

Miss Miriam Taylor of New York

Miss Miriam Taylor of New York spent Decoration day with her parents.
 Miss Julia Hawley graduated, with 14 others, as trained nurse at the Pennsylvania Hospital last Friday. This nearly completes her fourth year. Her sickness took out so large a part of the year that the necessary studies could not be carried on, hence her long term. This hospital is one of the largest as we'll as the oldest in the country. The original building was built of bricks brought from England. They expect to celebrate the l5Oth anniversary in the fall. The number of patients of all classes received last year was 35,OO0. The expenses ex- ceeded S500,0O0. The average number of inmates of all classes for the year was 800.

A house owned and occupied by Charles Olah was burned to the ground early Saturday morning, only few articles being saved. The fire is sup posed to have started from burning soot in the chimney. The house was insured. Had it not been for the time ly aid of the neighbors, David Plumb's house would have caught fire as the wind was in that direction.

The year 1900 opened with favorable
conditions prevailing in nearly every
branch of the dry goods trade. The home
demand continued good for the first three
months and then fell away until by June
the market had lapsed into pronounced
dulIness, and from a steady upward course
in prices began gradually to decline again.
The arrest of buying was remarkable In
WOODEN goods, stocks began to accumu-
late again and their course up to the
close of the year has shown pronounced
weakness in both mems wear fabrics and
dress goods, with the result that the gain
in prices made last year and in the early
part OF this year has been lost in many
directions, and where any is retained at
all is of limited extent.
A sudden demand from China for heavy
brown cottons in May, the first purchase
made for that market in several months
unfortunately was checked by the outbreak
OF the boxer rising, and since then there
has been an entire suspension of buying
for that country. In September another
stimulus was given to cot ION goods by the
lowed the. Galveston disaster and short
crop predictions. Prices resumed their up
ward course and the market ruled strong
again until the end of October, when there
was another lull in the demand. Stocks,
however, had been well cleaned up, as a
rule, and, although some of the staple
lines have eased off slightly, a fairly
steady tone has prevailed since
The prosperous condition of the cotton
goods trade last year and the early part
of this has had marked effect upon the
cotton industry in the south, reviving the
boom in mill building, which previous de-
preston had checked. A number of new
mills have been added, and many more
are in course Of erection. 1t is probable
that when the years statistics are COM
piled they will show the addition of nearly
100000 spindles to the productive capac-
ity of the south.

YEAR IN BUSINESS
Dun's Review of the Commercial
Situation.

New York, Jan. 1.-Duns Review,
in it's summary, reviewing the business of
the year just closed, will say regarding
the leading markets:
Conditions in iron and steel during 1900
were much more sound than in the pre-
ceding year. when speculation was wide
and prices inflated far beyond the bounds
of reason. Statistics of weekly capacity
Of furnaces in blast show that the high
est point on record was reached Feb. 1,
while there was little diminution during
the next few months. But, with the col
lapse of speculation during the spring and
realization of the fact that operations
had been overdone, there came steady
reduction in output. From 296 furnaces
in blast on Feb. /, there followed a con-
tinual shutting down, until but POI were
in operation on Nov. /, and the weekly
production decreased S2,710 tons. Even
at this rapid rate of declining output
stocks accumulated with startling rapid
ity and on Oct. l the top was reached at
670,531 tons. Business conditions were
satisfactory, however, and demand ex-
panded, while exports of finished products
grew very heavy, when prices reached
level that made competition possible with
British and German producers. In two
months, ending Dec. /, furnace stocks of
pig iron decreased 1885 tons and the
tone was so much improved that many idle
furnaces resumed.
Manufactured articles have moved along
similar lines. Quotations of iron and steel
products at the beginning of the year were
little below the level prevailing thirteen
years previous and the fall was almost
uninterrupted until October, when the
average was but 63.68 per cent of the fig
ure prevailing Jan. 1, 1887. 1t is difficult
to select any one branch of this industry as
being pushed harder than another. Rail-
way supplies of all kinds have sold very
freely and the market is flooded with ur-
gent orders for freight cars Structural
material, particularly for bridges and
ships, has been in much better demand
than supply. Steel rails were reduced
from last years price of $35 to $26, but it
was an open secret that the former figure
had only been nominal for months prior
to the official change in September. Con-
tracts for 100000 Adeliyerable dur
ing 1901, have been placed at $26, and
numerous export orders also, showing the
probability that the figure would be main

at the opening to 35 cents in July, and then
gradually eased off

Louisville, Col, Jan. 1.-At a meeting
here Of representatives from every coal
camp in northern Colorado it was decided
TO demand an increase OF 10 cents per
ton for leaders.
The mines were idle yesterday, and the
men say they will stay out till the ad-
vance is granted.
Denver, Col, jan president James
J. Canon of the Northern Coal company
said the demands of the miners for high
er wages would not be granted.
The miners seem to think the cold
weather will bring US to terms right away,
but they are mistaken. I know of no real
grievances in the district
The Northern coal fields supply Denver
almost entirely with soft coal, and it is
understood that not more than enough
to last two weeks is in store.

AN APPEAL FOR THE MISSION.
Management Is Anxious to Have the
Debt Removed.

In view of a generous donation to
the Florence Crittendon mission home,
which reduces the debt on the prop
erty to $500, the board Of managers has
decided to appeal to the numerous
friends of the work to aid in raising
the remaining amount before the re-
quired July payment is made, thus
hoping to clear the property entirely of
Indebtedness. Fifty dollars pays for a
life membership, and II ten people will
become life members this effort will ac-
complish the long hoped for purpose.
To those who have so kindly assisted
in the past and to all interested in the
noble work of sheltering the unfortun-
ate the management urges thoughtful
and prayerful attention to this earnest
appeal. Life membership might not be
possible to all who desire to help in
this effort. but any gift. however small,
will be much appreciated. Communi-
cations may be addressed to Florence

ORDINANCE IS ILLEGAL.
CITY Solicitor Watson Declares Meas
ure Providing for Providence
Road Pave to Be Worthless.

City Solicitor Watson. in an opinion
sent into select council on Tuesday
night, but not read on account of the
the early adjournment taken. declared
the ordinance providing for the paving
of Providence road TO be Illegal
The point on which he decides 1t to
be invalid is one which has not been
previously raised: 1t is that the ordi-
nance conflicts with the original reso-
luton passed by both councils and
published in the daily papers for sixty
days before the introduction of the or
dinance, as required by law.
This resolution notified the property
owners that a pave was to becon-
structed on Court street from Provi-
dence road to Diamond avenue, on Dia-
mond avenue from Court street to
Providence road and on Providence
road from Diamond avenue to the Car
bon street bridge across the Lacka-
wanna river.
The ordinance, by an oversight on
the part Of the person who drew 1t
up, makes no provision whatever for
the paving of Diamond avenue. 1t
provides that a pave shall be la1d
from Court street in a Southerly di-
restion to Providence road but does
not say on what street it is to be
laid. In the opinion the city solicitor
sets forth that there are other rea-
sons why the measure is not legal.
but does not refer specifically to them.
1t is known, however, that he holds
that the petition which was presented.
signed by a majority of the property
owners and asking for a special kind
of pavement, is not to be considered
as a petition for pavement, but mere
ly document signed by the property
owners when they realized that an
improvement was being forced upon
them. If this is true, it would require
sixteen votes in both councils to pass
the ordinance Fifteen was the high
est number recorded in either branch
in favor of the measure.
1t is likely that either Mr.. Finn or
MI Alwcrth will introduce new or
dinance in the near future, and that
before doing so another attempt willy
be made to secure a petition for the
pavement signed by a majority of the
property owners.
