Ships have picked up between sixty and seventy men, frozen to death. Thirty men who survived the blizzard have been picked up by other ships."
 The agents announced that addi- tional advices said the Newfoundland had not been damaged.
 When the sealskins are cut from the carcasses they are piled upon the ice until the end of the hunt" member of the firm explained "As we understand it, the men from the Newfoundland were bringing in the skins when they were overtaken by the blizzard. As result of the dis aster there is not a single skin on board the Newfoundland"

 Great Excitement Prevails.
 It has been many years since the city has been so stirred over an ocean disaster. Hundreds of people roamed the streets all night. besieging the newspaper offices, the telegraph sta> tions, the government chambers and the Grenfell Institute where the sur vivors will be housed, but news was meagre, while no list of dead was available. Many of the crowd were relatives or intimate friends of those who sailed a month ago on the New foundland.
 Early in the morning rumor spread that one of the ships was off the entrance of the harbor. There was a rush for the water front but after long wait it proved to be a false alarm
 A message received here at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon from the cap tain of the Bellaventure says that the total dead of the crew of the is seventy-seven. One hundred and twelve were rescued and of these thirty-six are sick

Report Is Denied.

New York, April 3.-A private mes- sage received here today said that the sealer Southern Cross had not ar rived at Channel. N. F., as reported from St. Johns. and grave fears were expressed for the vessels safety.
 No Confirmation Received.
 Confidence in the safety of the Southern Cross excited by the report that she was at Channel, gave way to doubt as the day progressed and no confirmation of the tidings was received. The only message received here indicating that the sealer had found refuge was the despatch early today from North Sydney, N. s.. This stated that wireless messages received at Sydney last night reported the Southern Cross at Channel.
 The government was skeptical re- garding the report and this morning sent wireless message to the Unit ed States revenue cutter Seneca ask. ing her to search for the Southern Cross. The Seneca is patrolling for icebergs seven hundred miles off Cape Race. Practically all communica- tion by telegraph or wireless with the southern coast has been interrupted since Tuesday when the gale tore down the telegraph lines and aerials.

PRODUCE PRICES NOT
AFFECTED BY WEATHER
Housewives Told by Dealers That
Costs Have Not Risen.


The fears OF many housewives here
that the recent drought, coupled with
sudden changes in weather, would so
affect the crops of fruits and vegetables
as to bring about a raise in prices were
dispelled by inquiry among the fruit and
produce dealers and growers today
"The fruit crops" said a prominent
Dock street dealer who expressed the
general feeling. with the possible eX-
ception of apples and pears, have been
picked, and tree crops are not, as rule,
very much affected by weather. anyway.
Peaches have been poor ever since the
beginning of the season, but there have
been plenty of them and prices have not
been very high accordingly
"As for vegetables. there have never
feon so many of them and they have
not been so cheap for a long time. 1t
is true that tomatoes have been scarce
and high. but to offset this there is an
abundance OF onions, eucumbers and the
like selling for less than the cost OF
raising them"

ACROSS THE COUNTER

The output of inexpensive gloves that are,
nevertheless, very good looking appears
to increase to meet an increasing de-
mand.
There is a glove of a woven material
called leatherette that requires very close
inspection to distinguish it from doeskin
or suede.,
These leatherette gloves in groys and
tans are sold for so cents a pair.
A chamoisette glove that clesely re-
sembles white suede Is sold in the 12-
button length for 81.
Children's chamosette gloves in chamols
color and gray and tan cost so cents a
pair.
These gloves wash very WE'LL and 1t is
advised by the dealers to use cold OF
tepid water rather than hot and to let
them lie in soapsuds instead of rubbing
them too vigorously,
So far there seems to be no very great
increase in price in the staple kid gloves.
A very good quality of street glove
with one clasp sells for 81 now. This is
in the many shades of tan.
Another good glove at the same price
Is doeskin in the different shades of
gray.
Capeskin gloves for women and chill
dren are selling for s1.25 a pair. These
are a sensible glove for shopping ard for
school wear in the case of children.
The very smart dogskin glove, hand
sewn and of English make, costs $50.
At the same price there is heavy
dogskin glove with one clasp and with
outseams.
Whether or not the price of gloves will
rise as the supply dimishes is a matter
of conscience on the one hand and con-
lecture on the other.
But even II the price remains sta
tionary, there may come a time when
kid gloves will be out of the market alto
gether, If the European war lasts for
several years, as it Ia predicted that II
will hX many military men.
