New York. May l5.-Coffee--Thers was
a further falling off In the volume OF
business in the market for coffee futures
today and prices worked lower under
renewal of scattering liquidation. Possibly
the reports of unsettled conditions in Rus
STA were partly responsible for the selling
and there were comparatively few buyers
around the ring
The market opened . to 10 points lower
with July selling Oft to S15o and Deem
Der to S,43c, during the morning, There
was enough covering to check the decline
around this level, however, and the market
closed quiet at net loss OF TO 0 points

The cost and freight market was reported

at 0i0c. London credits.
The official cables reported a decline of
200 reis at Rio, while Santos spots were
unchanged and futures unchanged TO 20
reis lower, Rio exchange on London was
b-l6d lower. A correction made In the
domestic statistics showed a reduction OF
1896 bags In the visible supply. owing TO
the subtraction OF stocks discharged at
unlicensed docks or warehouses.

Sheep-From most angles today's lamb
market was repetition of Mondays. Good
handy fed lambs were wanted and bulk of
the offerings of this class had crossed the
scales by shortly after midforenoon. Prices
were more or less uneven. but were fully
quarter higher as q general thing and in
spots looked even more. Mexicans that
could have been better finished, but were
of desirable light weights, established a new
high mark Of 1886, while other Mexicans
went at sie.bOG1s.6O and westerns reached
$3.50, The best clipped lambs offered set
new record of 1855, with decent stuff
around sl5.509l575.
There was about the same proportion OF
mixed spring lambs and ewes In the offer
tngs as on Monday, None of the spring
lambs were very good and they were rather
slow sale. most Of them finally moving
around sl7,00@i7b0. The latter price
bought two ears OF CALIFORNIA;.
Old sheep were not here In any great
numbers and they looked TO be about as
much higher as lambs. A new record OF
s12I5 was made on shorn ewes and theirs
were was nothing real choice here at that
Pending the arrival Of something on which
to base the market quotations of year.
lings and wethers are purely guesswork.

Hogs-Measured by expectations the hog
run was of fairly liberal proportions, Esti-
mates called for l46 cars, or 1900 head
making the total for the two days 1919
head. This IL $500 smaller than last week,
nearly 1000 short OF two weeks ago and
1000 lighter than for the corresponding
days of last year.
Fresh receipts In Chicago were not bur.
densome. but there was a big oarryover
from yesterday and the market was a con-
tlnuaton of yesterdays late trade when
prices were considerably weaker than early
Locally. with pretty decent run and buy
ers oil In bearish mood, prices rule
lower right from the outset
shipper purchases were very uneven
some of the best lights sold right at the
opening fully steady with the best time
yesterday, but aa a general thing hogs
bought on shipping orders were a dime
lower. Outlet was hardly as broad as yes
terday.
The packer market was very slow In get
ting started. sellers being unwilling to cut
loose at the lbc declines which were pro-
posed early. As was the case yesterday,
bids improved as the day went along on
the better kinds, but even then the bulk of
the offerings finally changed hands at prices
that were around Ice lower.
As was tho case yesterday, values were
very irregular. Some OF the best heavies
and butchers were not over 6d10c lower
at the worst, but generally 10c lower prices
bought the bulk of the medium kinds, while
fair 10 plain grades. especially where they
were highly mixed, were again hard to
sell Such sellers as were able TO cash
showed tho greatest declines of ths day
and complete clearance had not been
made at rather late hour. bids being
lacking on a number of loads,
A good share Of tho sales WAS made at
spread of N5.66g 1900. but there was
quite sprinkling on down. Several loads
of the best hesvies reached sls.lb, within
nickel Of yesterdays top. The general
trade was around dime lower.

Conservation Of Labor Supply.

If we are wise and far-sighted we
shall enforce child labor laws and
school laws more rigidly than ever
just now. We shall scrutinize and
regulate every single use of children
In industry, for there must be moth
ing needless in the emergency about
our use Of human resources. More
than that, we shall stimulate educa-
tional activity, especially in industrial
training, and support as never before
public and private child welfare agen-
cies, if we are going to make the
most of the material we have in hand.
In short, we must protect, train and
develop children now for the simple
reason that for the future, both re-
mote and immediate, we need a more
intelligent and able-bodied set of peo-
pie than ever. The nation is under
special obligation to secure that the
rising generation grows up strong and
hardy both in body and character" is
the solemn warning of England, which
has been at war for three years, to
America, on the threshold Of. war
The New Republic.
