EXPECTS TO OPEN MONDAY nmbrr of Cases of ( ontion Disease Among; the I'aplls, bat Authorities Do -Not Believe They Will Spread. Owing to the discovery of several cases of diphtheria and scarlet fever among the pupils of the srhools, the Board of Educa tion ordered the Bloomer school closed at noon yesterday. Supervisor of Buildings Lfutilnger had a force of men disinfecting the building during the afternoon, and all of the rooms will be thoroughly fumigated today .and Sunday. It Is the Intention at present to reopen the school Monday. President Tlnley said yesterday afternoon that the other members of the board were not satisfied that there was contagion In the Bloomer school, although there were several cases of diphtheria and scarlet fever among the pupils In that building. ! Investigation by the school officers leads to the belief that the disease In these cases may have been contracted outside of school. The board, however, deemed It best to take every possible precaution and ordered the Bchool closed so that It might be thoroughly disinfected and fumigated. Several cases of diphtheria among the pupils of the North Eighth street school were reported, but the board did not be lieve that the conditions warranted closing that building. It was stated that a special meeting of the Board of Education to consider what further , precautions, if any, should be taken, will be held this afternoon. The records of the city health officer, Dr. Bowers, show that several families have been quarantined during the last few days on account of diphtheria or scarlet fever. . Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wallace were to have entertained at dinner last evening In honor of Mrt Wallace's sister, Miss Helen Wallace, and Dr. A. C. Brown, whose marriage will occur today, but their son, Bruce, was taken ill with scarlet fever and the house quarantined. Consequently the Invitations have been recalled. Rev. and Mrs. Marcus P.

Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: Renewed buying of rolling stock by the railroads Is the conspicuous development of the week in the Iron and steel trade. Re ports Indicate that orders are being plared with some urgency, and that considerable new business is under negotiation. Activity at steel works Is reflected In continued heavy purchases of piglron at many points. and further advances In prices are an nounced. One contract for 20,000 tons of Bessemer at $19 Is reported. The struc tural shops are receiving a moderate amount of new business. Trade in dry goods shows steady gain, and the higher prices In the primary mar kets, forced by the sustained high costs of raw materials, are now quite freely paid. Curtailment of production in cotton mills amounting to 224 working hours at conven ient dates between now and. August, has been virtually agreed upon. Sales of print cloths at Fall River last week almost equalled production, 80.000 pieces spots and 150.000 futures. Trading in wide cloths continues active and prices are fully on a level with the cotton market. Export trade Is limited ' by the higher prices. Foreign shipments of domestics from New York this year to date are 312.8S3 bales, against 144,876 a year ago. .

Hosiery and underwear are higher and more active. The footwear market Is steadily Improv ing, hut the price question continues to re tard business and some branches of the trade continue quiet. Staple lines of heavy goods for men's wear receive the chief amount of attention at present, but there Is a better demand this week for men's me dium and fine grades. Pronounced strength continues to rule In all kinds of hides and further advances are being secured In both foreign and domestic stock. The leather trade continues slowly to improve, out there Is no great activity as yet, although prices have stiffened about 1 cent per pound on harness leather and most varie ties of sole. nRADSTREET'S REVIEW OF TRADE Improvement Noticed In Many Trades and Outlook Is Enoonraglns;.

Colder weather, frteslng temperatures. light snows or killing frosts, coupled with freer crop movement, have helped retail trade and collections nt the west and northwest. Jobbing trade has heen colncldently bene fitted by j-eorderlng to fill broken stocks sod the distributive trade side accordingly presents a very favorable appearance. Trade at first hands feels the stimulus In more confident buying for spring, though the unsettlement In the goods trade, due to high cost of material and tail: of cur tailment, still retauls trade In this. line. However, the tendency of cotton goods is undeniably upward and buying appears slightly more confident at the higher prices anked. From Indistrlal lines the samo stcry of full order books and of longer hours now comes, nay rolls are expanding and available skilled labor is reported closely cmplryed. with less Idleness noted thun for two years past. The. Iron and steel, coke, n achlnery and automobile In dustries this week return especially, good reports as to activity and there is noted a xreater scarcity of skilled labor.
