NAVY YARD SHIPRUTLDIEG.

The government will make an uncommonly In
feresting and valuable experiment in building
one of the new battIeships at the New-York
Navy Yard. It was highly commendable to
order at least one of the ships to be built in a
navy yard instead of at some private works.
and that for more reasons than one navy
yard should always be kept in the highest Ios-
sble state of efficiency for the repairing of yes
sells and for generally caring for them, aud
there can be no more certain way Of assuring
such efficiency than in requiring the yard to
build first class ship 1t is possible, of course
that yard might be perfectly equipped for any
repairing work that might be required, and yet
not fitted for the work Of construction. IT is
entirely certain that IL It is fully equipped for
construction it will be also ready for any re-
pairing. That consideration alone should be
sufficient TO dictate the occasional building of
ships at the navy yards, even if-as has COM
monty been supposed-such building were some
what more costly than II would be If done by
private contract
In the present case. however there are ex-
pectations that former theories will be dis
proved, and that navy yard construction will be
found to be actually more economical. In time
and In dollars and cents, than that In private
yards. Thus. as reported by our Washington
correspondent. Admiral Bowles promises to lay
tnt hccl VI tlS new Sulp N1lnln SIX months,
which is only one-half, perhaps only one-fourth,
of the time which private contractors might
be expected to require. So far as the money
cost is concerned. it will be observed that the
government is handicapped by its own laws It
can work its men only eight hours a dan.
against ten hours IN private yards. and It must
give each man twenty-three days Off In the
year on full pay-national holidays and vaca-
tion-a concession which private contractors DO
not have TO make. Even with this handicap.
which is estimated to amount to 80 per cent of
wages, confidence is expressed that the ship
Will be constructed In the navy yard as cheaply
II could be secured from a contractor, and
perhaps more cheaply. There will, at any rate

though we may be sure the builders will try
earnestly for the highest possible speed as
though they were to be specially recompensed
therefor. II is probable. too, that there will be
much less danger OF interruption and delay
from strikes in the navy yard than there would
be outside.

A NEWLY DISCOVERED TRUST.

Controller Grout has taken the proper course
in calling the attention OF the Attorney General
to what looks like combination to fix prices
In the metal ceiling trade. If the antitrust
laws of this State have any effectiveness they
should he used to prevent the creation of such
monopoles this appears to be. If with dill
gent and intelligent enforcement they are IN
capable of reaching the evils they are intended
TO correct then the fact should be known that
suitable legislation may be secured.
The case presented by the Controller ap-
pears to be one just in line with the prohibitions
of the statute, and deserves careful investiga-
ton by the Attorney General. How far appear
ances would be borne out by investigation It is
impossible to say, but activity to investigate
may reasonably be expected. One of the bid
ders for metal ceiling frankly admitted that
the prices in bids for city work were fixed by
an agreement among the different concerns in
the business. This statement seems to be cor
roborated by the fact that the bids all the
same. Whether the existence of such COM
bination can be established by evidence compe-
tent In a criminal court is open to question. but
If the offence, when proved, would come within
the letter Of the law, the attempt to prove 1t
might be worth while.
No doubt the city is frequently compelled to
pay unreasonable prices through agreements
between bidders. and some encouragement OF
that sort Of craft would be beneficial.

incident should lead colleges to consider their

declare that they cannot. according to any

honesty in some form or other, and certainly

Movement Of Grain from the Dakotas
Is Exceptionally Large.
Sioux City, Sept. 1O.-The belated
movement OF grain from South Dakota,
which should have been going on stead
lily for month, has resumed. after
three weeks of interference by bad
weather conditions.
A month ago grain began to be
shipped from South Dakota. The rail-
roads prepared themselves to handle a
big output. They expected the ship
ments would continue and constantly
increase. The South Dakota crop is
usually ready fer market about month
before that Of North Dakota. 1t was
the plan Of the railroads to provide all
the cars asked and in the month be-
fore the North Dakota crop came on to
have enough of the South Dakota yield

But three weeks ago 1t began to rain
and the weather went cold. There
wasn't more than one clear day for
week and most of the other days show
ers fell. The fields became so wet that
threshins outfits couldn't be moved
when the grain did dry out. In the
past few days threshing has resumed in
earnest and grain Is being put into the
elevators.
The railroads have begun to find this
out. Both the Milwaukee and Great
Western officials stated yesterday that
grain was moving again in earnest. 1t
