CUTLERY SITUATION
 IS INVESTIGATED

New York, June BOA situation which cutlery dealers say practically had brought their business to a stand still has been relieved by the action of Collector of Customs Loeb, announced today. Upon the application of the inn porters the collector has released ex- tensive shipments of foreign cutlery which had been held pending an investi- gation of charges of under-valuation. The government formally will seize these goods but they may go forward to their destination on the filing of a bond covering their home value as a cash deposit of additional duties and possible penalties.
 Government agents are now investi- gating charges that the customs de- partment has been defrauded of large sums by the persistent under-valuation of cutlery imported mainly from Ger many. sO On complaint of Germany man. ufacturers that the action of the Amer ican custom authorities is a move to aid their American competitors in the cutlery trade, the German government has started an investigation.

NO LIVES LOST IN
 CLARKSBURG MINE

Clarksburg, W. Va, June S0-No lives have been lost in the fire in the Chieftain mine of the C1arksburg Coal
 company at Wilsonburg, according to
 the mine officials here today. The fire
 is still burning with every indication of destroying the entire mine. Every available man has been put to work cementing all openings to the mine in
 an effort to smother the flames.
 That the fire was of incendiary ori
 gin is the firm belief of the mine of ficials, though they are unable to as-
 sign any reason It was discovered yesterday afternoon by ono of the
 miners after it had gained considerable headway and warning was sent through all the entries in time for the men to | make their escape.
 Water was poured into the mine and the fans reversed to draw out noxious
 gases, but this had little effect in subduing the flames. Thousands of dollars damage already has been done The state mining department has
 started an investigation. This is the
 second serious mine fire in this sec tion within a few weeks.

COTTON WAITS ON
 THE JULY REPORT General Expectation at New Orleans Is for Bear
 ish Figures

New Orleans, June S0.-The cotton is in waiting attitude as the result of the nearness of the July report by the gov ernment on the condition of the growing crop. The general expectation Is for bearish figures, in some quarters the highest July figures on record are looked for, but thus far the market has held very steady. In this market the report will be issued at Il o'clock Monday morn ing Monday would have been a holiday but for the report, as 1t Is sandwiched in between Sunday and Independence day. It is probable that trading will be excited if the figures are a surprise one way or another because of the holiday following Monday.
 Almost to a man, the cotton trade ex- poets higher condition than last montk when the figures were SIS per cent of the normal, Conservative people talk about SS.5 and the average of opinion Is prob ably S9, although there are great many traders and brokers whose minimum esti- mates are %. A few very bearish oper- ators are talking about 92 and even 9S. These latter figures are based on reports that the crop in Texas and Oklahoma up to June 9, the time to which the condi- ton is to be carried, suffered no damage from drouth, and to numberless reports from many portions of the central and eastern sections of the belt to the effect that the erop Is in nearly perfect if not normal. condition. Normal condition means 100 per cent. and, therefore, those who take the reports from the east with out reserve are talking as high as 93, expecting that they will make up what is lacking in the west.
 Last year on June 25 the condition was put by the government at S0.7 per cent, and two years ago it was put at TAG. Last months figures of SIS were higher than was expected by the trade; the gossip of the market would indicate that the surprise. If there is any, will be the other way this month. The highest per centage of condition on reduction, relating to June 9, is 92.5 and was reported in 1896. The lowest percentage is 72 re- ported in 1907. To establish new record this June the expectations of the least conservative element on the short side of the market will have to be met

DAYS RECORD IN
 COUNTY COURTS


 Sentences were passed by Judge Samuel L. Weaver on the 1T prisoners who were convicted during the week just passed, and the minutes of the court were signed 80 as to be turned in today when an ad- journment will be taken until the first Monday in October. The work of th< court has in every way been most satis- factory Likewise the city and circuit courts make their adjournment today, after having worked faithfully and com pleted their dockets in a manner most praisworthy. Judge Crow was kept busy until late in the afternoon with condem- ] natory proceedings against parties charged with violating the prohibition laws and preparatory steps taken toward the destruction of such contraband goods as are now stored away under the watch care of the sheriff.
 The case of Mrs Mary Mclaughlin against the Sloss-Sheffeld Steel and Iron company, seeking an injunction restrain ing the defendant from maintaining a slag pile at Second avenue and Twenty eighth street, will probably be taken up for hearing next Wednesday. commits sioner will be appointed by the chancery court to take the dispositions in the case. On account of the illness of Judge I. H. Benners of the first division of the common pleas court the cases set for hear ing in that court were passed until an- other may be given upon the return of Judge Benners. It is thought that Judge Benners will be able to resume his duties on Monday according to information from his friends who have been solicitous about his health.
 Andy Tannehille, charged with assault with intent to murder, was given a pre- liminary hearing before Judge H. B. Abernethy in the second division of the common pleas court and bound over on bond of $200 to await the action of the grand jury.

From London Truth.
Some years ago a Scotch laird found
on succeeding to his estates that the
house contained two portraits of a dis
tinguished member of the family who had
tiourished during the reign of George Ill
one by Reynolds and the other by Rae
burn He knew no more Of pictures than
a Newfoundland dog, and he decided that
two portraits of the same individual need
not be kept. The Reynolds was retained
while the Raeburn was presented To a
public gallery. The worthy man was
struck with CONSERVATION some time aft
erward when he found that his gift had
been valued at 5000 guineas. and prob
ably the picture would now fetch double
that sum.

Birds Search for Light.

From Harpers weekly
WHY do the birds migrate toward the
tropics i'm the autumn and toward the
poles i'm spring? 1t would be easy TO sup
pose that the autumnal migration Is in
search of food, were IL not for the fact
that in the spring the birds leave album
dant supplies of food in the warm re-
gions and arrive in the colder regions be-
fore vegetation is far advanced.
Another suggestion. that the migration
north is for breeding purposes, has been
disproyed by the fact that the migratory
ha bit is found in birds that do not breed
until the second third year. Ii has
been suggested and argued plausibly that
the exclamation is TO be found in the
search for light.
The polar regions are, OF course. dark
in winter and the days are short in the
temperate zones. On the other hand. the
DAYS are longer in high ATTITUDES than
in the tropics between the spring and the
autumnal equinoXes. Birds are voracious
feeders, and they occupy most of the day
light in seeking food. being greatly de-
pendent upon their eyes in the search.
