SOME PLANTS ARE CLOSED Cape Fear and Other Mills Give Notice Of Reduction of Wages From Offi cers Down Trade Conditions Unsatisfactory. k On account- of the general financial stringency and unsettled conditions North with Its consequent depressing effect upon the traded in common with all other industrial enterprises de pendent largely upon New York as a market, it was announced here yester day that practically all therlumber mills in this section of Eastern North Ca rolina have either given notice that they will shut . down entirely or will continue in operation as an expedient uporx a general policy of retreiichrcmt, including .a cut, In the wage scale. Many of the smaller, mills in East ern North Carolina during the pres ent week dosed down their plants al together rather than operate at a loss but in the case "or the larger mUls. the 'managers generally out of con sideration for their employes, - have merely given notice of a decrease in the wase scale.' Th-7 John L. Roper, mills, comprised ' "of several large plants at Newborn - and in - that vicin ity, - on Wednesday gave notice of a general reduction in:-pav'to ail em ployes. Those who received $2.50 per day heretofore, will in;;the future be paid only $2 and a corresponding re duction will be made in the cases of all laborers. -The. Inter-State Lum ber Company, 'carrying on large tim ber operations in. Pender county, are reported to have made similar reduc tions and the same is said to be true of the' large mill at Whiteville and the Enterprise Lumber Company at Golds boro. . : .

Capitalists interested in the 'mill, North were re ported to . have favored closing the mill down' altogether but Mr. J. A. Arringdale, vice president and general manager q the mill, stated to a" f ei resentatlve of the Star last night, that he advised against - such action, as many of the employes of the company had been with the Cape Fear for a long time and he would very much prefer to operate the mill rather along a mutual basis, if possible, until con ditions have Improved. Besides much would be lost in the ' disorganization of the, force and if-the plant could be kept in o'peration, it wpuld be much better for all concerned. The notice was given yesterday in order that em ployes desiring to change employment might have some time to consider the question and go elsewhere If they de sired as the company would prefer to operate the mill under curtailment If agreeable to all concerned. There axe half a Jozen white employes of the mill who are working on a 30-day notice contract basis and Mr. Arring dale s stated at, of course, there could be no reduction of their sala ries before the 30 days, but that all had been given notice of . the decrease that will go Into effect uniformly all over the mill. The woods , forces In the logging camps of the company in various sec tions of Eastern Carolina were given a reduction in wages last Saturday, the- same as - apply .to the mill, and many of the men were allowed to go but . generally there -has, been a good demand for labor and - the displaced employes have been able to get work. It is pointed out that the mills sim ply can't afford to saw the lumber and pile It up on the yards Indefinitely i .... . . j.i i ii until conditions Decome sucn iuai u is profitable to ship it. On account of the general stagnation : in building North, consequent to the financial stringency, pri6es for high-grade lum ber have slumped quite-, considerably and there is no telling today what to morrow will bring forth in - lumber trade conditions. - Coarse lumber has held its own pretty well; but even that Is unprofitable to 'cut. from high-priced stumpage and' the high tension In mill operation, whlcE has'' existed ; for the past two (years or-more. 1 Vhlle it was ' reported : yesterday that several ' extra crews -of engine men were laid off by the.

Evangelist Ham to Speak From City Hal! Steps TonightFi nancial Side. - i It was announced last night at the NFlrst Baptist Church that 950 signa tures had been secured to the peti tions to the .Mayor and Board of Al dermen, asking for an election on the prohibition Issue in Wilmington, but that the effort would not be abandon ed, and if possible, 1,500 signers would be obtained. Several petitions are still out that were not taken into ac count in the sum total as announced last night. ' The announcement followed a very strong address by Evangelist Ham in which he gave, iirhis opinion, some reasons "Why the Present Prohibition Campaign Is Bound to Succeed." The audience taxed the capacity of the church, many having been drawn thi ther to hear the speaker's estimate of the campaign so far as it has nro gressed. The next special event will be the mass meeting for men only at the church Sunday night. Upon that, occasion the subject will be "Sow Whiskey and Reap Drunkards." It is stated that early in the coming week a great mass meeting of all the sign ers of the petition and all prohibition ists who have identified themselves with this movement, will be held and that the forces will be organized for active work. The third of the series of open-air. meetings will be held tonight at 7:30j o clock when- Evangelist Ham will speak to the public from the steps of the City Hall. This meeting is for the voters of the downtown wards especially but all will be welcomed. A The anti-prohibitionists are prepar ing 'td present" the voters with some facts in .regard to the financial as pects of the question and yesterday figures were being sought from the tax books of the city and county to show what they, conceive to be the exact status , of affairs. The city now receives approximately $37,000 per year revenue from the present method of dealing with the traffic. With a real and personal property valuation of $11,000,000 and a rate now of $L40 on the one hundred dollars evalua tion, . it Is pointed out f rom , the fig ures, that to receive the same revenue as the, cjty Jajiowrecelvlng It- will be fiecessary to increase this rate ap proximately 35 cents on the one hun dred dollars,, or to $1.75. 'The-county, derives $24,000 from licenses, a ma jority of which goes to the school fund of. the county. On a valuation of something like $12,000,000 in the county, it Is pointed out from the books that the increase of the rate there will have to be 20 cents on the one hundred to maintain the schools if prohibition is carried.

News of the movement in the city for a segregation of all the saloons In the downtown sections, eliminating them entirely , from the residential ! portions of the city, as was printed In these columns yesterday morning, was discussed .with much interest on the streets during the day. It Is stat ed that, of course, the up-town deal ers are opposed to the movement, but that the down town saloon men are in favor of It. Which side will have the preponderance of weight before the Board of Aldermen Monday night week, if the question should come to a head, will be interesting. While it is admitted that such an ordinance by the . city would greatly benefit the cause of the-anti-prohibitionists, there is said to be a strong .sentiment to ward 'segregation, even on the other side This was 'offered to the saloon men about a year ago upon appeal by the ministers', association but they successfully -circumvented.

Saint Paul's Episcopal Church, cor ner of Fourth and Orange streets, was never thronged with a more distin guished nor a . more fashionable as semblage of wedding guests than on yesterday afternoon at five o'clock when .Miss Agnes A.

The church auditorium' was wel filled with guests long before, the hoUr announced for the ceremony and the expectancy of the large num ber in attendance was at Its height when a wedding march, delightfully rendered' by Mrs. Alfred Moore Wad dell, announced the approach of the bridal party. The bride entered upon the arm of her brother, Mr. McLean Seabrease, of Philadelphia, by whom she was given away, while her attend-" ant at the altar as maid of honor was her friend, ' Miss Elizabeth Burruss, of this city.

The British steamer Gorjistah, 2,900 tons, Captain Saunders, of the Ara bian Line and sister ship of the . Ta- baristan, which only recently cleared from . Wilmington for Bremen, Ger-. many, arrived in port yesterday and is consigned to Messrs. Alexander Sprunt & Son. for cargo "of cotton for the other (side. The Tabaristan was declared by all to have been the .finest ship of the merchant marine that ever entered the port, but those who. saw- the graceful lines and the handsome appointments of the Gorjistan as she was docked at the Champion Compress yesterday, freely said that Catftbin Paton would have to look to his fresh ly won laurels, for the latest arrival is decidedly a beauty;. She is much larger than ; the Tabaristan and is ele gantly equipped? and furnished throughout. Sh-3 will carry a very large cargo of cotton and has a speed that Will nearly if not quite reach the maximum of the Tabaristan, which is 17 1-2 iknots per hour.' The Gor- istan comes from Camden, N. J., hav- ng brought a cargo from the other side side of the water. The Norwegian steamer Cecilia, which-arrived at quarantine from Ha vana, Cuba, on Wednesday, arrived up yesterday 'and was docked at the At lanitc Coast Line wharves where she will begin receiving - cargo of cross ties from L. J. Merriman for Panama. It is understood that three other stea mers will be brought here with in the next month or six weeks by Mr: Mert riman, who has large contracts to fur nish ties and timber for the extensive construction werk that is now in prog ress on the Isthmus.

A round of some of the principal produce commission houses on the wharf and at the market yesterday elicited, the gratifying information for i general public that there is a plen-l tObe had next week. Prices as a rule have been very high, ranging Jfrom 16 to 1? cents on foot and 22 cents for tbe dressed article, but the supply yes terday was so much larger than the demand that there was a slump in prices and the commission merchants f were exceedingly timia m onering above 15 and 16 cents for the live hirds and not above 20 cents for dress ed. - " - A leading dealer explained.. that -the average householder early this week must have contemplated, a famine for they came in large numbers and bought freely for Thanksgiving.

There seenls to be a great number of vthe birds in the country and the market is expscted to be overrun today and . to morrow as well as duringthe coming week. The prices were very high erly this week, in fact, breaking all records, putting the regulation Thanksgiving fowl far beyond the reach of the poor man, but the man of moderate means is said to have his inning? yet coming to him in, the Thanksgiving market.
