'Phone 4S6. Correspondent Christie Giain and Slock Kansas City, Mo. New York June 6. No radical change has taken place in the general biisim ss situation, nor is there anything puitic-lilarlj new in monetary mutt'-rs. There is every prospect of ease in the New York cltv money market, irrespective of the action of the Punk of England with regard to its rate of discount.

There are however some elements of uncertainty which have lntclv begun to deserve more attention in speculative circles. One of these is tile attitude of organized labor with the progress of the year. There have been many satisfactory settlements of strike disputes in the last few weeks, but t'-ere still remains to be effected a compute adjiistnn lit ol the trouble with the machinists. Einilovirs in quite a large proportion are taking a serious view nt the principles involved in tile contest. Mild tlicrefnre ail nitre restoration ot work may not he reached so earlv as was thought possible soon after the inception of tins strike.

Another matter for future consideration relates to the extent of the demand which liiav he made for the coming year's wage scale of the iron and steel workers and the rxtml to which the manufacturing companies maybe willing to yield when these demands are submitted some time betwem now and July 1- Nevv York Monv Market.

June 6 Open High Low Closo Yes WHEAT Topeka Mail Carriers Will Not Wear V' Them After AIL After all, the Topeka mail carriers will not wear shirt They will cling to the good old-fashioned longtailed, unembroidered, cuffless article. Roy Rowell, the superintendent of city delivery, who is in direct charge of the carriers, says: "Theres only one man in the office who has purchased a shirt waist. Our carriers will wear just the plain, plug shirt.

But the carriers will not be required to wear coats. In fact, we have never required this. This country is too hot for. coats in the summer time. It would be too much like torture to require it.

As a matter of fact, the general impression is that the new rule regarding shirt waists is simply the departments way of allowing the carriers to go without coats in the summer time. If it came to a test, the department would probably say that a common shirt answered all the requirements of a shirt waist. At any rate, the Topeka carriers will not appear decked out in anything extraordinary this sunnier. FINDS A HOME. Police Matron Has a Field For Homeless Children Near Goodland.

The strange sliding movement of the City of Butte, which has been noticeable at intervals for several years, has again manifested Itself by five large cracks in the earth in different parts of the city, the largest occurring on West Galena street, where a crack twelve inches wide and of considerable length and depth, has appeared. Three of the openings occurred on the west side of the town and two on the east side. There is no caving, but a distinct parting of the earth, and the granite walls can easily be seen in them. The gas and water companies are having much trouble on account of the strange movement, which frequently breaks their underground pipes. City Engineer Rickenbach says the engineering department of the city encounters the same trouble, as elevations ami bench marks in certain parts of the city are constantly changing, particularly west of Main street and north of Broadway, where the marks have been known to shift to the extent of a foot in a very short space of time.

What is the c-quse of the strange phenomenon is not known, but the continuance of it is beginning to alarm some of the residents. MRS. TIIORPIS PICNIC.

M. Heery. 1 Trouble Over Fair Grounds Has Been Adjusted. READY TO BEGIN WORK Arrangements Made to Have Lumber Furnished. A Half Mill Levy to Be Made to Impi'bve Grounds.

At a joint meeting of the Commercial club committee and the executive committee of the Kansas State Exposition association at the Commercial club last night, the week beginning September 30 and ending October 5 was selected as the time for holding the state exposition here. The county commissioners have signified their willingness to furnish the money to fix up the fair grounds provided it is the wish of the people of the county. Petitions will be circulated over the city and county before the middle of the month and if a sufiicieijt number of signers are secured to insure the passage of a proposition to levy a mill tax divided over two yenrs, the county commissioners -will advance the money as soon as they can get it in the treasury. This proposition will be put on the ballot at the fall election. The exposition people have no fear but that such a proposition will meet with favor from all the citizens of the county.

The levy will hardly be noticed Individually, and some of the heaviest taxpayers in the city and county are enthusiastic for the project. It is generally conceded 'that some kind of entertainment should lie provided for Topeka this fall. The street fairs held heretofore have not had the interest to the people living in this county that the state fair and race meet will have for them and for that reason the residents of the county outside the city are glad to see the exposition project made a go. They are anxious to have an opportunity to exhibit their fancy cattle, horses and swine. This is also the case with all the large stock raisers throughout the state.

The Topeka exposition wdll bo held just previous to the Kansas City fair and other fairs in the circuit and for that reason the exhibitors at Topeka will be able to take their exhibits from here to the other fairs without experiencing any delay. The lumbermen of the city have signified their willingness to furnish the lumber at once for use in construction of the necessary buildings at (lie fail-grounds and wait until the tax levy had been made to got their pay provided they are secured in some way. The Exposition association has already pledged the sum of $.1,000 and will secure a much larger amount within a few weeks. In add' lion to this the merchants of the city will guarantee the remaining $4,000 to secure the lumbermen in sums ranging from $50 to $200 each. The work of taking these pledges Is In the hands of E.

II. Crosby and J. S. Warner. Representatives of the city electric ear line were at the meeting and jxe the exposition people every assurance that adequate arrangements would be made to transport the people to and from the fair grounds and the depots.

O. P. Updegraff was appointed to take charge of the work of securing the signatures of the taxpayers of the city and county to the following petition: We, the undersigned, residents and tax payers of Shawnee county, respectfully petition the honorable bo-ird of county commissioners to submit to the voters of the county at the regular election in November, 1901, a proposition to levy a tax of one-lmlf mill on the dollar of taxable property for two years, foi the purpose of making permanent Improvements on the Shawnee county fair grounds. And your petitioners will ever pray, etc. GIVES VACATION AND 1A V.
