NEW YORK.

Distribution of staple goods by jobbers
tends to increase as the spring buying sea-
son advances and the large numbers of
buyers excursions draw merchants to the
market. but there is a consensus of opin-
ion that buying is in a high degree con-
sentative, and that staple goods ano what
may be classed as necessities comprise
the heavier part of the business done.
Retail trade is very quiet. except where
price reductions on winter weight goods
tempt buyers. and final d%istributive de-
mand unquestionably feels the reduced
purchasing power of the public at large,
due to short time or reduction of earn
ings in industry.
Wholesale trade is quiet as a whole,
and cotton fabrics, notably print cloths
and hannelettes. have been sharply cut I;
stocks of the former are reported to be
piling up despite reduced time worked.
Three-fourths of the normal production
is reported working.
Reports from other industries are irreg-
ular. The improvement in finished steel
noted last week has gone further and a
slightly larger capacity is now at work.
but crude output seems to be no larger;
some merchant furnaces are reported shut
ting down because of accumulation OF
stocks, and prices of some pig iron are
easier.

An order excusing army officers on duty

Bids were opened for the extension OF
the postofice and court house building at
Columbus, Ohio. There were eleven bids,
of which that of Charles w. Gindele Com
pany of Chicago, $336,650, was the low
est.
Senator Lodge reported favorably from
the committee on immigration a bill revis-
ing the regulations governing assignments
of air space and accommodations to steer
age passengers on ocean vessels. to CON
form to the regulations framed by the
British board of trade, which went into
effect Jan. | last.
On Il point of order raised by Mr..

Miners to Strike April 1.

All bituminous coal miners in West
ern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois will undoubtedly go on strike
or April 1. The failure of the operat-
oss of the districts named to come to
an understanding with the miners at
indianapolis has brought a crisis. The
operators do not want the mines op-
Grated until prices are steadied. By
closing down for several months, it is
believed, better prices for coal will pre-
vail during the remainder of the year.
The coal miners are willing to see the
mines idle rather than accept a reduc-
ton in the mining rate. 1t is coilced-
ed that just as oon as the demand for
coal is sufficient to bring a higher price
a settlement will speedily be reached.
The miners who are members of the
United Mine Workers of America will
cease work April /. They will use
whatever power they have to make the
nor union miners cease work at the
same time.

Death Ends Career of James Oliver.
James Oliver, the millionaire pillow
manufacturer and philanthropist, of
South Bend, Ind, died Monday after
a long illness which dated back to the
death of his wife, three years ago. He
was 81 years old. Four times the vet
eran manufacturer had been reported
at the point of death, but each time he
rallied and was able to resume his
regular morni1g visits to his pillow fac
tory. The direct cause of death was
a weak heart and general debility
Emigrating from Scotland in 1884, he
came to America, and in 1856 laid the
foundation of what has developed into
the largest pillow works in the world.
He invented the chilled plow and this
brought him and his family many mill
ions, a part of which was used in
identifying South Bend. He erected
the Oliver theatre at an expense of
$500, 900, built the Oliver Hotel at a
cost of $4,000 and made it possible
for South Bend to erect it's city hall.
He was a liberal contributor to char
ity and especially to the Presbyterian
church. Two children survive him
Mrs. George Ford, wife of ex-Congress-
man Ford, and Joseph d. Oliver.

BOYS JOBS ARE DooMED
Uncle Sam Will Have Adult Special
Delivery Carriers.

Postmaster General Meyer is of the
opinion that it is prejudicial to the well
fare of young America" to employ him
as a special delivery messenger in the
postal service. Mr.. Meyer has issued an
order to the effect that whenever a va
cancy occurs in the force of special de-
livery messengers the position shall not
be filled and that substitute letter carriers
and clerks shall he employed for the work.
He states that the boys are called upon
frequently to visit low resorts and are
compelled to travel long distances late at
night in lonely outlying sections of the
great cities. failing to make deliveries at
times through fear or WEAKNESS. Special
delivery messengers have been employed
since 1880 and at present there are 2,5OJ
engaged at SO postoffices, with ages as
follows 81, 13 years old 16I, II years !;
3lS. IL years; 6H, IL years; 400, II
years. and 80. IS years or over. At 344
offices substitute clerks and carriers do
the work.
