N. J. FARM WAGE SCALE
FAILS TO ATTRACT MEN
"Hands' Demand $2.5o to $3.50 a
Day, Instead Of $25 q Month

Sewell, N, j.. March 6.--Farmers
orga nizatiOns that have fixed price
for farm labor nre now confronted with
the problem Of getting labor at the hxed
wages. Leading farmers Of the county!
nfter n long consultation with the Board
Of Agriculture. felt that the best they
could pay this year was $50 a month
and bonrd for single men,. and from
$40 to $12 and house rent for married
men. The latter also gets liberal
supply of vegetables.
Several farmers In this district have
tried to follow the standard set by the
county board and find that suitable help
cannot be had at the fixed wage. Mar
ried and single men are asking from
$3.50 to $3.50 day, and for eight hours
nt that. and very few have been engaged
ut lower figure. II may be a little
carly. but many believe It is sign.
The first real business OH the truck
farm will be scallions and asparagus.
Farmers have ngreed to pay for bunch. /.
ing scallions twenty five cents the 100
bunchcs. For cutting and punching
asparagus, sixty five cents n crate will
be paid, and the result OF this wage
fixing will be watched with care, 80
that It will be known what can be ex-
pected when tomatoes come on. Straw
berry growers will be offered two cents
quart, with half cent extra for
Grating.

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

! There was conservntively buliial
feeling in Wall street Mt the close Of tho
week. notwithstanding the many un-
favorable Developments that occurred
such as failures, soldier bonus agitation.
textile strikes in New England, possi-
bic coal strikes, etc. inner ordinary
circumstances such situation would
have n most depressing influence over
the stock market. and the mere fact
that 20 little attention was paid to 1t
IL interpreted as indicating that what
is now going on In the securities mar.
ket Is the discOunting Of what may be
expected in business later OH.
There are many who still arc obsesscd
with the idea that the war Is not over
md thnt It will be long time before
ANYTHING like condition of nOrmalcy
will obtain throughout the world. but
the facts arc that each succeeding day
is bringing about gradual improvement.
For instance. Il Is officially stated that
IN the automobile trade, January and
February business has shown recovery
80 great MS to have resulted IN u vol
lmc of shipments by all companies
Of more than twice the number Of cars
IN the corresponding period n year ago.
Word was received from Alabama dur.
ing the week that the Tennessee Coal
and Iron is operating 100 per cent
capacity and iron and steel trade sta
tistics emanating from the Pittsburgh
and Youngstown districts also Indicate q
decided improvement in the trade.
Woolcns are in greater demand rs was
evidenced by the successful conclusion
of the Government auction sales of
wools Communicated during the period
Of the war. the average prices received
M this weeks sale in Boston being

Growing Demand for Municipals

Renewed buoyancy in the municipals
Is one Of the outstanding features Of the
bond market. Attention was called to
the satisfactory manner in which new
issues of this character had been abb
sorbcd and the better bids that were re
ceived for such offeripgs us were made.
1t is expected that there will be- a
larger number of new municipal Offer
ings during the next few weeks than
have been in evidence for some time
past.
1t is stated the floating supply OF
tax exempt issues have been fairly well
cleaned up and that attention Is now
being directed to issues previously dis
tributcd. various dealers picking up
blocks Of bonds that are available at u
fraction above the market and reoffering
them ut prices shade better. The re-
suit Of such activities has been highly
, satisfactory. and it is stated that the
present strongly indicates that the level
of quotations for this class of issues
will gradually work higher.

PEKIN LEFT DEFENSELESS
War Lord Breaks with Government
r. and Withdraws Troops

Pekin, March 9. - Efforts on the
part of the President to secure the
support Of General Chang Tso-Lin,
Governor Of Manchuria, by appointing
his half-brother. PaO iNwei Ching,
Premier, have apparently failed Of their
object. The Manchurian Governor has
refused to indorse the appointment of
his kinsman, who has been acting as
Minister of War. and has withdrawn
his troops from Pekin. This action on
his part Is considered an intimation to
the President that relations have been
severed and that the capital may be
taken by any leader who cares to do
so.
The President has issued a statement
denying charges made by WI Pei.Fu.
inspector general Of the Provinces of
Hupch and Human. against former
Premier Liang .Shi-Y in his effort to
persuade the latter TO resign. Liang
Shi-Yi refused to quit Office until WI
Pei.Fu made threats of secession on
the part Of the two provinces.

Copper Grounding IlOttOm

Developments in the copper market
last week were of such nature ns to
give encouragement to some authorities,
and the opinion is held In several quar-
ters that tho market has seen bottom
for the time being at least.
The establishment of a 1234 cent
price by some Of the dealers resulted in
an increased demand. but not all the
sellers We're willing to accept business
at that figrue. As n matter Of fact at
the end Of the week it was possible TO
get that price only Oh business where
the point Of delivery was near the re-
iinery from which the copper was sent
out.
Several Of the leading selling agencies
had 10 difficult IN getting 121s cents
per pound for the metal on what is con
sidered a normal" shipping distance,
and the general market could have been
quoted at that price at the end Of the
last week, with an inclination by some
dealers to hold off for Is cents per
pound.
Consumers Of the metal werd Showing
more interest in the market than here.
