WEEKLY WEATHER REPORT.

According to the United states De-
partment of Agricultures weather re-
port Tor the week ended on Tuesday
night. winter grains were unfavorably
affected by drouth from the central
Great Plains and the western Gulf re-
gion westward. More moisture was
needed also In most northern Rocky
Mountain districts and in considerable
portions of the far Northwest. Wheat
continued to deteriorate in central and
western Kansas and Oklahoma. in which
much late sown grain has not come up.
Husking and cribbing OF corn made good
progress under generally favorable
weather conditions.
The weather report mentioned con-
ditions In the cotton belt but briefly
Good progress" it said. was made In
gathering unpicked cotton In Tennessee
and harvest has been practically COM
pleted in Oklahoma. The greater part of
the top crop is reported as matured in
Arizona. Picking made slow progress

WARNS N. Y. TO FIGHT
ST. LAWRENCE PLAN
Outerbridge Says Scheme Fos-
tered in West Menaces
City and Port.

Eusenius III. Outerbridge chairman of
the business and civic interests Of the
metropolitan district yesterday of the
dangers that threatened the city and
the port territory If certain Western
gress their scheme for the canaliza ton
Of the St Lawrence River from the At
lantic Ocean to the Great Lakes. In a
speech at meeting Of the Port Author
ity. called to hear arguments on what
should be included in the plan for the
development Of the port, he said that
New York and this whole district would
be the goat" IL the plan went through.
1.-The canalization OF the st. Lawrence
River" said Mr.. Outerbridge, "is being
supported by an association of eighteen
Of the Middle Western States. officially
by their Governors and their legislators,
as well as by a very large aggregation
or business people, all of whom have
contributed large fund for propaganda
for this enterprise.
II could not If / tried impress you
sufficiently with the danger that exists
to this port, to this State and to all
the Atlantic seaboard States IL the Fed
eral Government is going to be called
upon to enter this enterprise, this $780,
100000 enterprise which these engineers
have estimated that a twenty-five foot
channel could be built for so that ships
Of twenty-five foot draught could 60
from the st. Lawrence into the Great
Lakes.
THAT is but the first installment OF
an expenditure. I have been told by
the chief of the Army Board of Engi-
neers in Washington that it would be
but the first step, because there are only
twenty-one feet at the sills Of the 500
Canal. twenty feet at the limestone reef
and twenty feet in the canals between
the lakes. The whole proposition has
been based on a twenty foot draught,
and all the lake ports and all OF the
limestone reefs would have to be altered.
The chief of engineers, speaking Of
ficialy. but basing his remarks upon his
own determination, said that he could
not tell whether it would cost $500, ,0O0,-
900 or 1000, 900, 900 to make the altera-
tions in the locks and in the passages
between"
The arguments before the Authority
were made by representatives of the
various Chambers Of Commerce within
the port district, who gave their ideas
as to what should be included in the
plan for the development of the port
which the Authority is to submit to tho
Legislatures of New York and New
Jersey on the first of January. The
basis of argument was the report of
the New York-New Jersey Port and
Harbor Development Commission.
The organizations represented includ-
ed the Brooklyn and Queens Chamber
of Commerce Brooklyn Chamber of
Commerce Newark Chamber of Com
merce: Fla.bush Chamber of Conf
merce: New York Harbor Improvement
Association Jersey City Chamber of
Commerce; Bayonne Chamber of COM
merce; Staten Island Chamber of Com
merce, and National Marine League.
Recommendation urged by these rep
resentatives will be studied by the
Port Authority at special meeting to-
day, at which the technical advisory
staff will submit concrete proposals.
based on a thorough study and survey
OF the situation.

BUSINESS NOTES
AND TRADE NEWS
Garment Strike Puts JObber in
PrecariOus Position and
Cuts Retail Trade.

The jobber is placed between two fires
by the present strike of garment work
ers. The jobber in textiles and cotton
FABRICS must order his goods from mills
Two to three months in advance of their
delivery. The manufacturer. to whom
he sells his goods. buys according to his
needs. The effect of the strike has been
TO place the average jobber In a pre-
carlous position. He is receiving his
goods from mills. but has no demand
from manufacturers because they carl-
not manufacture the goods into the fin
ished product. 1t appears to be the con-
sensus of opinion that If the strike
should last any considerable length of
time, the mills would have to cur
tail on production, as orders from job
bers for future delivery necessarily will
slacken. The effect of the strike on
retail trade has been to cause general
slump in buying.

Schachter, Thrown Into Street, Can't See Why He Is
Dsorderly Guarding His Furniture, and Judge
Agrees With Him, Scolding Police Captain.

The landlord asked Charles Schachter
Of 27 Ridge street for the rent yester-
day, but schachter was not able to pay
it. because he has been out OF work
for some time. So the landlord sent
for men, and the men moved the be-
longings of the Schachter family TO the
sidewalk, which they filled from building
line to curb.
Schachter and his family stood about
the pile OF furniture for a time. They
had nowhere to go and no way OF get
ting there II they had had a place.
Patrolman John Kitson OF the Clinton
street station came along after while
and told Schachter he was violating the
law by blocking the sidewalk.
But what am / going to do" the
man asked. II have no money and no
place to CO."

Carpets Selling Well.

Decided optimism pervades the carpet
and rug trade, which is doing a lively
business. Because Of strike in mills
which curtailed production the demand
for carpets and rugs appears likely to
exceed the supply OF them, but the
prices are reported as firm. A decline

He took Schachter to the station
house and then to the Essex Market
Court, where Schachter was taken be-

The charge was disorderly conduct. be-
cause he had blocked the sidewalk with
the furniture the landlords men had
carried from the house.
