said:
There is absolutely no chance for an
amalgamation between the American
League and the National We are not
at present engaged in picking up dead

years has prospered as it never pros

has reaped the benefit of that prosperity.

FORCED oVER-PRoDUCTI0N
German Potash Industry Seriously AZ
fected by Poor Market Demand.
(Bv Associated PreSs)

BERLIN. Aug. 1.-THE potash indus
try is undergoing a crisis, due to over
production. The Prussian mines have dis
charged hundreds of workmen and have
reduced the wages of others from 10 to
80 per cent All private mines and facto-
ries took similar steps. 1t is explained
that the industry was not affected by the
depression in German business until the
end Of April. when all factory warehouses
were stocked TO the doors. Much bitter
ness prevails among the discharged work
men against the syndicate for forcing
the production in 1901 far beyond the mar
ket demands, thus rendering it impossible
to keep the workmen employed this year.

WOMAN'S EXCHANGE.
Opening Tomorrow of First Showing
of Christmas Week.


Tomorrow the Woman's Exchange
holds its. opening and first showing of
Christmas work, and from this time
until after the holidays the busy estab-
lishment will be more than busy. New
goods will be received and put on sale
constantly, keeping the stock fresh and
attractive. The order department is
especially valuable to New Haven wo-
men-and men, for that matter-at this
season, for aside from it's regular line
of work, sewing and mending, almost
every conceivable Christmas order can
be filled, always with the proviso that
sufficient time be allowed.
Many items of interest are presented
in the exchange year book just pub
lished. The sales for the past year
have been more than ever before,
amounting to seventeen thousand dol
lars. The lunch room also has increas
ed wonderfully in patronage and pub
lie approval, and some few contemplate
ed improvements will add to it's pres
ent firm foundation of good home cook
ing and attractive menus, and, it is be-
lieyed, make it second to none in it's
class.
Another interesting item is the total
amount paid to self-supporting women
since the exchange was first opened in
one small room by the Young Women's
Christian association, eleven years ago.
This sum of $114000 represents the con-
slant fostering care of the Y. w. c. A,
the energetic and self-denying labor of
the exchanges board of managers and
the aid and comfort it has brought to
small army of consignors. 1t also
represents a most generous patronage
by the New Haven public. The officers
and managers are:
President-Miss Lima NJ. Phipps.

tor, will have to wait at least six
months more before they will be paid

valued at $4,000 could not be sold by
the executors.
Mr.. White said there was real estate
in Missouri belonging to the estate
which he hoped would be sold to salts

neys Penny, Arvine and Stoddard rep

along for their clients. When told Of
the situation they. agreed that there
was nothing to do but wait. Upon the
agreement of counsel the executors We're
given six months to get the necessary
funds for those owed. The attorneys
urged that the executors fees be cur
tailed as far as possible to aid matters
and asserted that they had already TAX
EN- out good sized fees.
