SATURDAY. JULY 3. 1897. THAT SLUMP IS IT PERMANENT New York Dealers and Others Think it is MANY REASONS WHY PRICES PfUST BE LOWER The coming Chainless Wheel a Factor-Blcycl Auction Bales and Departmental Stores Aid Towards a Reduction Pri cm can not be Kspt up New Tork, July 3. The big cut In the price of high-grade bicycles is the topic of the cycling world.

After the first shock, on thinking the question over, everybody came to the conclusion that It wasn't such a surprise after all tliat it had to come Sooner or later. H. Holmes, of the Remington Arms Company; Manager Griffith, of the Trenton Metallic Company's branch; W. C. Overman, and a number of other prominent manufacturers and agents were Interviewed by a World reporter yesterday.

Most of them agreed In saying that they had expected be cut, and claimed that It would not affect their prices this year, but that next year 175 would probably be the price of the popular wheels, although several signified their intention of building a special wheel to be listed at prices ranging from $100 to 2150. Without exception those who were seen bald that the -cut was an untimely one made at this time of the season, and that If made at the beginning if the year it would have been much more effective. The selling season being nearly over how, they Intend to maintain their price of 2100 until its close. Standard at $73. Mr.

Coleman said: "This will bring the bicycle buslcss down to an bones', basis and It will be healthier than ever. I claim that a high-grade wheel can be sold for $75 and still be sold at a profit to the manufacturer. Next year the standard wheel will be listed at $75- It Is becoming clear that the bulk of the cycle trade hereafter will be In heels of a very moderate price but of good 9aullty. The majority of rldera are very new at the game yet. the trade Is unsettled, and It Is difficult for purchasers to distinguish merit and buy intelligently.

A Veteran's View. A veteran In the trade said: "One reason why new makes of wheels every imaginable class have hold so readily has been the opposition of the public to the prices and. attitudes of many manufacturers, and the Impression vas held thst sny one could build a wheel. "When conditions become more settled and the business gets down to a normal state, things will adjust themselves, and a few years' experience will enable riders to Judge better of the merit of the wheels. For the present the public are thoroughly set on getting good bicycles at an outlay of not nmre than while many are not willing to pay even that.

"The manufacturers mho put out the best grade nf wheel for '98 at $50 will get the business. It may not be wise and necessary to give the usual string of options and guarantees with It. but these can be easily reduced with convenience and profit. The quality of the machine, however, should be above reproach. More expensive wheels at $75 or even more will have a large sale, if they seem to the public to be worth that price.

But there will he little use In asking such prices unless the machines are superior to the cheaper ones In finish, detail and equipment. Heretofore there has been too little observable difference In wheels of different prices. The finish and equipment have been almost Identical, and the makers of high-priced '97 wheels have lost many dollars on that account. "The public is willing to pay for a good thing when it thinks It haa found It. It will be truer In 1898 than ever before that hlgh-pticed wheels must have something definite to show for their price." No' More "Hundreds." A meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Board of Trade of Cycle Manufacturers was held behind closed doors yesterday.

It was rumored that the cut in prices would be the topic of discussion. When the meeting was over Messrs. Garford. Coleman, Day. Dlkeman, Redding and Spalding refused to talk.

Mr. Coleman said later the day that nothing; beyond routine business was transacted, and that the Board of Trade had no Jurisdiction. Every manufacturer was at liberty to make his own product and sell It for what he chose. But It la not unlikely that price-cutting was thoroughly discussed and that some action on the part of the manufacturers individually will result. The manager of the Liberty Bicycle Company, In Warren street, said that the action of the Pope Company would have no Immediate effect on the sale of medium-priced wheels.

Charles J. Godfrey, of No. 11 Warren street, believed that the Pope cut was the death-knell of the $100 bicycle. Was Prophesied. The break In the price of bicycles has 1.

ryr been prophesied and was expected at the beginning of the '97 season. But after the ejele shows had been held without any reduction in leading makes It was thought that the break was postponed until next year, and ccming in the middle of the season and from such a firm It caused a panic among wheelmen and manufacturers. I In the matter of prices the Pope for the last few years his teen one of the strongest In talning the $100 standard. It made It a l.oast that a Columbia i uld not be bought anywhere for less than and that that would he the price while the Pipe Company existed. Yesterday It was announced that '97 Columbia uouM sold for $7.1.

1VHJ CVImiiblas at and Hartfotd bicycles at $. Jt" and after July 1. And it Is oniy a iusti--'n i.f time I whtn every othts leading manufacturer IN BICYCLES in the country "111 follow the lead of the Pope people. Cause of the Break- The cause of this drop In price Is the advent of the chainless bicycle and the growing popularity of the cheap heel. Department stores all over the country advertise that they offer for sale 100 high-grade bicycles at prices ranging from $19.99 up to $50.

Many of these wheels are really high-grade wheels purchased from manufacturers who have tailed or else are hard up for cash. Others are machines that are put together hastily and are poor specimens of cycle workmanship. But the enamel and the nickel are Just as bright and the tires can be blown up to the ssme degree of hardness. It is an easy thing for a clever salesman to convince the uninitiated that The machine he shows with a high-sounding name Is as good as the leading makes, although It may be what an expert would call shoddy. Its pink or blue namel has a shiny polish, the back wheel revolves to the satisfaction of the observer after having pushed the pedal with his foot, and the result is a sale.

Hundreds of the big department stores have been buying thousands of wheels high-grade wheels when they could get them eheap and low-grade wheels when they couldn't. Big auction establishments have been opened up throughout the country In which cycle auctions are held daily. This haa In a great measure taken the trade of the economical cyclist away from the high-grade manufacturers. There Is no demand for their big '97 otuput. and the result Is they are compelled to reduce their pi Ices.

The Chainless Bike. It Is understood that next year several of the leading manufacturers will have a chainless bicycle for their leader, and that machinery Is now being constructed abroad and here. If this plan Is carried out the chainless wheels will probably be sold for something like $100 and the present style of bicycle for $j0. This conclusion Is reaohed from the fact that leading makers had entered into an understanding that all would cut the price of wheels to $75 In 189S. But the premature move on the part of the Pope Company will probably cause a further slump when next year's models are placed In the markets.

A veteran lrr the cycling trade put the matter in a nutshell yesterday aa follows "I think they are all coming to It. The day of the $100 wheel is past. In two weeks there will not be a $100 bicycle on the market. There are too many 'M models at all kinds for sale, and '9 models are almost as good as "97 models. The general cutting of prices has caused much lU-feellng.

and trade la bound to take a turn over." WHAT LOCAL DEALERS SAT. Their Opinions Differ as to the Possibility of Cheaper Wheels. The opinions of locsl bicycle dealers vary considerably upon the possibility of a drop In the price of bicyclists. The expression of aplnlon appears to be governed considerably by the make of wheel the dealer Is handling. The burden of ths evidence gathered by The Jcurnal is to the effect that wheels arc not to be materially lowered In price.

Mr. V. H. Fllgg says there is no dcubt whatever that high grade wheels are to come down in price. The cause, he claims Is a cosablnation formed by the manufacturers of the high grade bltyclee.

The Intention of the combine Is to crush out the manufacturer of a spurious, cheap and low grade wheel. The formation of this combine hss been In progress for some time. He says the result will assuredly mean a material reduction In the price of ail high grade American bicycles. As to the home manufactured wheel, Mr. Fligg does not think there will he any reduction In them.

They are now sold at as low a price as they can profitably be manufactured and sold for. Mr. Wilson, for the Ottawa Dispatch Ccrapany does not think there Is to be any Immediate drop In the price of the high grade bicycle he sells. No Intimation of a reduction or likely reduction in price has been received from his firm Made Too Many. Cole, of Cole's National Manufacturing, expresses himself as doubtful of the reported reduction In the price of bicycles.

He explains the origin of the report to be from the fact that certain manufacturers have gone too strongly Into the manufacture this year and the sale has not been equal to their expectations. Aa a consequence their storehouses are loaded with unsold bicycles. The firms must unload even at a sacrifice. If they are to clear out their stock. A few firms seeing that they must reduce the price of their wheel are trying to force down the price of wheels of all classes.

Mr. Cole has received no Instructions to reduce the price of any of the bicycles for which he is agent- His Intimation hat been to maintain the price at present existing. Mr. R. Toung, of Young admit that the price is likely to come down to some extent.

The cause he does not give. His firm have not been notified that the wholsale price of the wheels have been reduced. Until such reduction has been made upon the part of the manufacturer the retail dealer Is compelled to maintain the prices at present prevailing. Mr. F.

Graves, of Graves believes the report that a great reduction Is sure to come to be untrue. The same report was circulated about this time last year but was then unfounded, and high grade wheels this year sold for mere money than they did last year. No word has been received by this firm that any reduction Is at all probable In the price of either high or low grade wheels. Sproule Davidson, of Nepean, was fined $2 and costs In the County Court this morning by Recorder Smith. The offence was assaulting Arthur Cooke on the Mth June.

The case of Thos. Welsh vs. A. F. Mclntyre was adjourned until Tuesday.

The committee in change of the Orange excursion to Cari on the 12th Inst, have arranged for the running of two excursion trains from this ajty on tsat date. The first will leave at 9 o'clock In the morning, and will rarry the members of the order The second train will leave at half-past one in the afternoon. EXCEEDED THE PREMIUM Finance Committee and ths Insurance of ths City Against Accident The finance committee will recommend the council to offer the Ocean Accident and Guarantee Co. for the insurance of the city against accidents Instead of $2,000. as was paid lat year.

A letter from the company was lead at the finance committee meeting last evening stating that the company could not renew the Insurance policy at the old figure as they had paid cut $2,700 last year, and there still remained several claims to be settled. The committee passed an additional $r0 to the Jubilee committee, the amount granted to Mr. Harry Myers for bis services as secretary of the committee. The city solicitor having reported that the city could not remit the fines Imposed for violation of the wide tire by-law, the petition of Mr. Theo.

Landry to this effect was not entertained. The $2,00 account of Mr. Rudolph llerlng. C. for the preparation of the main drainage plans of the city was passed, also the school teachers' annual grant.

It was decided to divide the French advertising between Le Canada and Le Temps. TEACHERS' SALARIES IN ONTARIO Thsy are Lower Than Elsewhere la Canada-Canada and ths V. S. Toronto. July The special committee of the Public school board, appointed to consider the question, have prepared a long report for presentation to a meeting of the board.

They report that in the cities of Ontario the average salaries paid to teachers are as follows: Male principals from $632 to $1,027, fs-male principals from $407 to $570, male assistants from $470 to $631, female assistants from $275 to $533. Taking all the cities of the Dominion, the averages are: Male principals $748 to $1,152, female principals $485 to $723, male assistants $529 to $683. female assistants $292 to $55. The averages for all cities of 150,000 or more inhabitants, including those heard from in the States, are: Male principals $980 to $1,875. female principals $683 to $1,250, male assistants $717 to $1,133, female aststanU $G4S to $8S3.

From these figures It is apparent that in Ontario salaries are lower than in the Dominion as a whole aad that In the Dominion they are less than In the United States. Aylmer News. (Special Correspondence.) Aylmer. July Dr. Edward Beattle, of Mallard, Palo Alto County Iowa, U.

NAPOLEON WAS TART MANY LETTER SEEMED TO BE WRITTEN WITH VINEGAR Extracts From 100 of ths Empsrors Letters now Being Published for the First Tims A Brotherly Epistle Paris, July S. Three hundred letters of Napoleon Bonaparte, suppressed by the editors of his correspondence published In 1SG9 as not calculated to Ir crease his glory, are about to be I printed by H. Leon Lecestre, curator of the French Archives. They Include I some heated family letters and some I harshl worded enlstles to Foucbe and Dubois, the ministers of police and war. When Napoleon received (June 11, 1809) the news that the Pope had excommunicated him, he wrote: "I spare the Pope no longer.

He Is a raving madman and must be locked up." Ordered Cruelty. A letter to Marshal Soult in 1M4 shows that Napoleon did not hesitate to adopt any means of obtaining confessions. He orders Soult to arrest fisherman suspected of communicating with the British, adding: "If he refuses to speak you must squeeze his thumbs In a musket-lock" a method adopted to extract confessions In cases of persons suspected of espionage. Napoleon's list of pet sons to be arrested was endless and his abuse cf Mrae. de Stael was.

unceasing. Learning In 1807. through Marshal Victor, that Prince Augusta of Prussia was Intriguing agamst him at Berlin, Napoleon wrote: I am not astonished, because he has a dull mind and has spent his time courting Mme. de Stael at Coppet, Switzerland, and, of course, could only pick up bad habits with her. Send word to him that at the first mischievous remark he utters you will lock him up in his castle and send Mme.

de Stael to console htm. There are no men so cringing as these Princes of Prussia. Writing to Talleyrand In 1808 that Princes of the former reigning family of Spain were about to arrive at Val- encay, Napoleon added: Tou may send for Mme. Talleyrand and four or five persons. If the Prince of Austriaa should form aa attachment for a pretty person It will be no drawback, as It would supply another means of watching him.

Another letter to Talleyrand reads in part: Teur mission Is honorable enouvh to receive three Illustrious personages and amuse them and Is quite in keeping with your character. A Brotherly Epistle. When his brother Prince Jerome was outwitted by the Austrian Gen. Klen-mayer, he still boasted of his strategic plans in sn Inflated order of the day. This caused Napoleon to write: I have seen your order of the day.

which makes you the laughing-stock of Austria, Germany and France. Haven't you a friend about to tell you a few plain truths You are a King and a brother of the Emperor These are ridiculous titles. In time of war you must -be a soldier. Tou must have no minister, no diplomatic corps, no state. Tou must camp with the vanguard, be day ana night on horseback and march In the van to pick up news, or remain In one's harem.

Tou make wrar like a satrap (petty autocrat). Is it from me. good Lord you learned that I who with an army of 200.000 men keep at the head of my skirmishers The people are provoked with you. Kienmayer, with 12.000 men. has laughed at you and your ridiculous pretensions and has slipped away from you and fallen upon JunoL Tou have a lot of pretentions, some little mind snd a few good qualities, but they are marred by your fatuity and your extreme presumption.

Tou have no knowledge of the fitness of things. Leave off being ridiculous; send your diplomatic corps back to Cassel; have no baggage and wage war like a young soldier wishing to earn glory and reputation. Try to deserve the rank you have reached and the esteem of France and Europe, who are watching you, and by do right and speak In a seemly manner if you can. CANADA'S TRADE How it is Viewed hy Businss Agsaclss in ttsU. New Tork.

July 3. Bradstreet's review of Canadian trade to-day says: There is no change in general trade In the Canadian dominion, features being competition and a demand which does not reduce stocks on (Mind. Crops In the province of Quebec are late. There has been a moderate trade In the province of Ontario, but shipments of wool and lumber to ths United States continue heavy. Large shipments of produce from Prince Edward Island to Great Britain and the West Indies are announced.

Bank clearings at Winnipeg, Hamilton, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax amount to $18,000,000 this week, against $16,989,000 last week, and as compared with $13,964,000 one year ago. There have been 1,074 business failures reported from the Dominion of Canada to Bradstreets during the past six months, 110, less than in the first half of last year, with aggregate liabilities amounting to J7.61S.OOO, a decrease of about 7 per cent.
