at the Hotel Adams last night neither
 was disposed to talk
 We have just communicated with
 our firms by wire" said MT. Mayber-
 ". and till we hear from them. we would rather not say very much about the new bridge. I hope to hear from my firm in time to furnish estimates to the Board of Trade at the meeting tomorrow. I will say this That I have fin the two days in which I have been here made a thorough examina- tion of the Center street site and find there an excellent foundation for a concrete bridge. We made tests on both banks of the river. and in the middle We found gravel beds wher- ever we tested, and I may say that next to solid rock. gravel beds are the best for bridge foundations.
 T understand thoroughly the char acter of an Arizona river and the sort of bridge that is required to with stand the rush of water at certain periods of the year. The bridge we propose to build will be the longest concrete structure that has yet been erected, and it will be there just as we build it 100 years from today. It is one of the beauties of concrete that absolutely no repairs have to be made in it. The bridge gets harder and bet ter as the years go by and floods and freshets will have no effect upon it."
 NIT. Mayberry said that the Center street bridge would. if built. be longer even than the Wayne avenue bridge in Peru. Ind. which is about l,SO0 feet long. and is now the longest piece of concrete in the world. The Center street bridge will be 2.1OO feet long. with piers every sixty feet
 Mayberry is a brother of F.. l.. May berry. the structural engineer. who was here short time ago and made thorough examination at the time of the bridge site.
 petition, or rather three cf them in one, for a bridge at Tempe was filed with the board of supervisors and was presented by delegation of south side citizens. The petition contemplates an expenditure of s6O,OOO for the bridge and asks that an election be called under the act of the late legislature. There are 203 signers of the petitions, among them several residents of Phoenix and the north side.

 GRAIN.
 Chicago. April 5.-For the fourth consecutive day, wheat for July de- livery touched a new high point for the season, but the May option failed to raise above the record breaking price reported on the preceding ses- sion. The market was extremely choppy nearly all day and the volume of trade not large. Many local trad CTS were indisposed to extend opera tions owing to the holiday tomorrow, and the issuance of the government report the following day. Leading holders of the May delivery were credited with liberal sales for the month whenever the price reached the 122 mark. The opening was rath- CT weak, owing largely to the poor response of the Liverpool market to the strength here on Saturday and the poor showing of the Missouri crop report which recorded a material de- terioration of the condition of fall sown wheat in the state. Crop re- ports from the southwest were more optimistic. but advices from the Ohio River valley were again somewhat bullish. During the day, May sold between s1.21A and s122A; July be- tween s1.0S and s10SA G1.09. The market closed steady, May s121H d F, July s1.0Sk Gss. Trade in corn was quiet, prices moved with in narrow range. Market closed easy, net losses k dAc to A e compared with previous session. Final quotations, May, 67Z G Bc; July, 66ssc.

IT CLOSES WHOLE PLANT
Weavers Wanted Ten Per Cent. Raise in
Wages Because Quality Of Ma
terial Made the Work More
Difficult.

Fal River, Mass, Sept. 1s.-As the
result Of the strike Of the weayers, seven
print cloth mills Of The Iron Mills Works
company here closed down to-day for the
first time In twenty-three years. About
five thousand operators were affected.
The mills are owned by M. C. D. Borden
of New York.
When the mills opened this morning
the weavers marched TO their hall, where
the situation was discussed. The weey-
ers demanded a ten per cent increase
in wages, owing to the fact that the poor
condition Of the yarn makes 1t more
difficult TO weave There were over d
thousand weavers employed by Borden's
mills. When they refused to resume
work, the owners shut down the plant.
The strike m the Borden mills will,
not affect any Of the other mills IN the
