Jerry and Jerry laughed back. Jerry's
laugh would break any police line. He
kept down the avenue as far as Twenty

YoNKEas. N. v, May 1.-The pri ce of
Joe in Yonkers has been advanced from
l7I, cents to rs cents hundred for saloons,
butchers, grocers and druggists. who take
50Opounds at one time. Less than 500 pounds
will cost 80 cents hundred. Families will
be charged at the rate Of 40 cents hundred.
A notice has been sent out to that effect
to all customers. A remarkable feature
OF the notice is that it bears no signature.
The dealers held a meeting about two
weeks ago at which time il was voted to
increase the price One reason given is
that the ice crop docs not equal one-tenth
Of last years product and that ice, was
sold at q loss. There are many complaints
over the raising OF the price OF ice in this

TEAM DRIVERS STILL OUT.
{ settlement Expected When subway
.,... Strike Is Declared or.

The officers of tho Team Drivers Union,
who are on strike for all advance from 81
to 1925 day. held special meeting yes
tert.,.y afternoon at Curry's Hall. Forty
second street, near Third avenue, TO hear
reports from the stables.
The members of the Team Drivers Union
kept in touch all day with the members OF
the Coal Wagon Drivers Union, which
established headquarters at Rcsedale Hail.
Forty-second street and Tenth avenue,
some Of whose members are on strike for
an advance in wages. The Coal Wagon
Drivers Union is branch of tho Team
Drivers Union. and has about 1000 mem
bers. Most Of the coal dealers granted
the demands of the men. or compromised
with them.f
Secretary Patrick Calvin of the Team
Drivers Union said yesterday that about
twenty-five or thirty employers had con-
cedcd the demands Of the team drivers.
He admitted, however. that none of the
members OF the employing Team Drivers
Association had granted the demands,
"Tho g, at difficulty with the members
OF the association" he said, as that under
it's rules any man who breaks from the
ranks and comedies to the strikers demands
will have to pay forfeit. Many of the
individual members Of the association would
bc willing to pay the demands as We ask
only for IS cents day. but for this forfeit.
1T is expected that the strike Of the rock
men and excavators in the rapid transit tun-
mol will be settled on Monday and as soon
as It is settled settlement Of our demands
will sp, eddy follow The employers in the
association will then be only too glad to
have work resumed by granting our de-
mands.
A movement is on foot to organize a
central body OF drivers by amalgamating
the Building Material Drivers Union with
the Team Drivers Union. A central ASSOC
citation of drivers for this city would have
a membership Of about 10000.
The New York Lumber Trade Association
has decided to ignore the demands Of the
Team Drivers Union. Some OF the men in the
Board Of Building Trades have threatened
to retaliate by refusing to handle lumber
furnished by members Of the association.

Considerable interest was taken in Wall

quotations for silver. The quotations OF
25,4 and SAX respectively for bar silver in
London and commercial silver In this
country are the highest reached in the pres
ent upward movement.
