WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 DRY GOODS MARKET

New York, May 2s.-values in cotton goods have hardened during the past week and sales have shown a steadily broadening tendency. The converting and manufacturers trades are still contracting moderately for their for ward requirements, many of them cov- ering as far ahead as October Mills have been disposed to sell as far ahead as their limited supplies of cotton will carry them but prices are still so un- remunerative because of the high cost of cotton that they are not meeting the demand in full way. Fall River sold about 190.000 piecec of print cloth last week of which 65,000 were for spot delivery The stock in that center has bosn decreasing steadily as result of steady sales and steady diminution in the output. New England and southern cotton mills still are curtafl- ing output partly because of the high price of cotton and partly because they feel that prices named for future de- liveries do not warrant the purchase of additional cotton.
 Bleached cottons have been selling better to the manufacturing trades. Staple prints are being ordered more freely Discounts on,e duck have been shortened per cent. Drills and sheet ings are firmer and higher. Osnabu ars pretty well cleanedSup at the prices buyers will pay. Export trade is light.

WEEKLY REVIEW 0F
 IRON AND STEEL

New York, May 2S.-The sensational cut of s3 per ton In the price of soft steel bars inauguratea by the Republic Iron and Steel company last Wednesday has brought to the steel mills thus far little trouble. Contracts placed at the lower level were small in number and In ton mage. Even the 25,000 tons secured by the Republic company from western imple- ment manufacturers at the decline, before specifications to help out the lean mill rollings.
 The drop in the bar price is also oper- ative on small steel shapes, under three inches which take the bar classification but not on plain structural shapes, over three inches, which are used in building and bridge construction. Fabricated struc- tural steel prices, however. are now and have been for months, at relatively the lowest point ever touched, taking into consideration the present high wage scale
 Instead of stimulating business in other lines than bars the break in harmonious relations of the steel companies has caused contraction of nearly 50 per cent in orders booked in the last three days.
 The cuts of $2 to 8 per ton in the price of steel sheets made by small CT mills several weeks ago are to be recognized by the larger companies,
 1t Is reported, who will announce a
 general reduction on blue annealed,
 galvanized and black sheets. Railroad buying was very light, do- mestic rail orders amounting to less than 10000 tons. Export business was
 more encouraging. including rail or ders for the West Indies and bridge orders for Japan
 Pig iron was more active at the ex- pense of prices which declined 25 to
 75 cents per ton in all sections. The Virginia Iron and Coal company se- cured orders for 10000 tons at droI of 75 cents per ton. Alabama furnaces developed orders for 40.000 tons. East ern and Buffalo furnaces took orders aggregating 10000 tons for grey and
 malleable foundry and basic. Lake su. perior charcoal furnaces also dropped
 prices sharply and secured more bus.

 Uniqueness

New York, May 2S.-(Special )-The man. sion that former Senator William A. Clarke. caused to be built at the cost of millions on the corner of Seventy street and Fifth avenue, the only one of its kind in the world. Here are the an- swers which were laid before Justice Leh- man in the supreme court today, and upon which he Is asked to sustain or reject the citys assessment upon this stupendous pile of frozen ragtime":
 The city: "The Clarke residence is unique. There is not a palace in the world of any king or emperor that can match it. Therefore, it should be taxed fer its uniqueness and not upon the basis of assessment of adjacent property"
 Ex-Senator Clarke: My residence on Fifth avenue should be taxed In the same proportion as others apply. It is not 1T class by itself as far as assessmen is concerned It may be unique, but it uniqueness should not be made the basi .-cf, taxation"
 The certerorari proceedings to remoV
 the assessment of the city taxers wa brought before Justice Lehman becaus former Senator Clarke maintains that tn assessors have Put too high a valuation upon his property. 1t is conceded by thu owner and the city that the plot of land 200x77 feet~-on which the house stands is wo, tn af least $1, O00,O00, The dispute is eoSeE.fhe value of the building.
 V The city assessed the property while in course of construction as follows:'
 1908, $3,o0000O; 19O9 ss,25O,O0O; 1910, $500 000
 Senator Clarke had the house planned the court was told so that every room has secret entrance in addition to the patent one. From his own mines in Montana he brought copper for the build- ing, but wherever copper is used in other buildings he had bronze placed in his own structure.
 Within the house, concealed from view, is a completely equipped garage. On one part of the roof is a sun parlor and or another part an observatory.
 The heating plant cost s140,000; the plumbing s140,000; the bronze work on the roof s4O0O00. A single friesee is valued al s10,O00; a mantle design $2000; uncut mar ble s40.00 The library contains treasure. of the printing press and the art galler, contains copies of the old masters. sucf as an art lover with an annual income O $12,000, 900 can purchase.
