POST0FFICE INTERIOR
TO BE REM0DELED
Rural Carriers VIII Be Moved From
Basement to First FIOOr-Other
Radical Changes.
BIDS MUST BE IN BY JUNE -


There will be several changes made
in the interior of the WatertoWn post
office building which Postmaster
Moore is sure will add materially to
the efficiency of the working force be-
sides being more convenient for the
patrons who call personally at the
building.
Several months ago W Haverstick,
inspector of government buildings and
supplies, representing the supervising
architect, inspected the Watertown
postoffice building, and on recommen-
dation of Postmaster Moore the
changes were approved.
Mr. Haverstick had taken the pro-
posed changes up with the treasury
department at Washington, and the
plans and specifications were received
by Mr. Moore, Thursday.
The most important change will be
the cutting off of the north lobby for
the use of the rural mail carriers, who
now distribute their mail in the base
ment, working under artificial light.
Besides saving the lighting bills, the
mail will not be carried to the base
ment to be worked, then carried up the
stairs, as at present, but all work will
be performed on one floor.
The money order and registry de-
partments will be placed at the south
east corner, and the general delivery
stamp and parcel post windows will
face the east, changes which will be
appreciated by patrons of the office.
The lock boxes will be removed to
the east and north sides of the room.
That the changes will be hailed with
approval by patrons Of the office is a
faregone conclusion, and Postmaster
Moore is to be congratulated on secur-
ing the change as quickly as he did
after making application to the de-
partment.
Notices asking for bids have been
issued, and Watertown contractors
have a chance at the work. Their fig
ures must name total sum for the
entire job, and must be in Washing
ton at noon on June II.

ADVANCING PRICES.
The Hardware Line Is Struck. Along
with Other Merchants.

1t is possible that merchants gener-
ally are wondering where the adj
yancing prices are going to end, and
possibly each one in the retail bust
ness is of the opinion that he is being
hit hardest
For the benefit of those who are not
hardware dealers, an extract is here
given from the National Hardware
Bulletin, the official organ of the
National Retail Hardware association
Following are extracts from the
Bulletin:
1t is said, for instance, that makers
of nails and other wire products have
been declining large volume of bust
ness offered at materially higher prices
than the quotations nominally prevail
ing.
On the 10Th of the month the trade
was notified of an advance of $500
per ton in the price of wire nails,
barbed wire and staples, and of $500
on plain wire. effective May /.

place in rails. hoops, structural
shapes, sheets, etc.
Carriage and machine bolts have
been pushed up almost 200 per cent.
strap and tee hinges approximately IS
per cent, axes close to so per cent
and so on through the list.
Demand by workmen for wage adj
vances has also in some cases been re-
sponsible. and not a few districts are
tied up because of disagreements be-
tween employers and employees.
Copper advanced from 271a cents to
291a cents, for August delivery. 1t is
reported that as high as SO cents per
pound has been paid for immediate
delivery copper, the highest price at
which the red metal has sold since
1887. The market is claimed to be
bare of supplies, with little likelihood
of an early lowering in price.
Lead and spelter have both held to
reasonably uniform figures. While the
former has shown no advance, it is
said sellers are not pressing the
market Immediate delivery spelter
ruled for 17% cents per pound at the
close of the month as compared with a
price of 3 cents per pound before the
war The market was said to be prac-
tically denuded of supplies and the be-
lief is general that the price will
work higher rather than lower.
The coinage requirements of Euro
pean and Asiatic governments have
resulted in such an unprecedented de-
mand for silver that the month closed
with price of 1874 cents an ounce, the
highest since 1893.
