A break of 2 in o price of cash commodity at Minneapo- lis, Deavy receipts at all primary points and cleardnces added to the weakness and started a stampede to sell, which resuited in September declining to 7%c.

It fs evident that the underlying causes of the backset was the bellef that the rise was too fast and had gone too far. nfluences on prices were in cal position. through the list caused the bellef that large bear movement had been organized among the traders to contest the agrance. In some quarters it was suspected that the cholce of well recognized bear operators to conduct the selling was a ruse lo cover profit-taking sales of those long of stocks, an the appearance of bear selling s the most ikely to fnvite support of stocks by thelr market managers. The kind of sup- port and protection, for prices which have been in evidence since the trend finally turned upwards were not seen today and the fall In prices was uncontested. The speculative public at large was left to conjecture whether the gower(ul capitalists, Whose leadership they have supposed they wers following, had sold out their stocks and retired from the market or whether they had become dissatisfied with rapidity of the advance and the characier of thefr following and had determined to countenance a reaction for the purpose of shaking off a_weak and undesirable fol- Jowing of weak traders.

Yester- day’s news of the rejection was made ruch of by the bulls as relieving the necessity of supplying the money for the canal pro- Ject and leaving the Treasury department Tree to relleve the money situation. The selling was much concentrated, a single commission houge dispouing of many thousand shares during the ~day. ~The personality of the firm and its past em- ployment by one of the great financial oups caused considerable significance to e_attached to this selling. e further reduction in prices of southern pig iron reatest effect on Tennesses Coal, fion and stesl stocks all shared in the dasfe weakness. selling referred to largely converged on Amalgamated Copper, and Rock Island was Joader In the reaction.

Packers all scemed to be anxious for good stuff, and as a result the market ruled active and stronger. ‘There was quite a sprinkling ot cornfeds included in the offerings, and those that were at all desirable were picked up in 00d scason at steady to strong a little higher. C not seem to show much change. were cleared, however, at an early hour. ‘I'ho. demand for cow stuff was also In siape and the market could sately quoted active and strong on all desir- able grades. The common stuff in most cases did not command any more th; steady prices, but at the same time trad- ing was fairly active on anything decent and the bulk of the arrivals was disposed of in good season. Bulls, veal calves and stags sold freely at fully steady prices. The demand from the country yesterday for “stockers and feeders was the best that has been experienced so far this sea- son. Over @ cars were shipped out. That, of course, Is a small number for this time of year, but it is an jmprovement over the number that have been disposed of on previous days. Speculators were all anxious for fresh supplies this morning, and as offerings were rather limited the market ruled active and stronger on all the better grades. The common kinds did . |not show any quotable Improvement in price, but they were casler to sell than they were yesterday. Owing to the good demand and light offerings an early clear- ance was effected. Tneluded in the shipments of western rangers were a_few steers anou for killers, and packers bought them up at steady to stronger prices. The better the quality the more improvement there was in the prices paid. There were quite a few range cows on sale and they were also strong and active, with common stuff about steady. Storkers and feeders were In good d mand and sold readily at steady to strong prices. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS. Cattle. Hogs.

LONG CONFERENCE TERMINATES IN PEACE Wages Are Increased Four and t to Five Per Cent ceanive Ho The general board of adjustment meet- Ing of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen closed {ts session yesterday with the morning meeting and In the afternoon the members left the city. The board first assembled May 2, but ad- journed because of the Kansas floods, which took up the attention of the rallway offi- clals. The board reassembled July § and has been In session sinoe. “The conference closed today,” sald ex- General Chalrman C. E. Engle, “and the concessions granted us have been of such a nature that we can go home happy and satisfied. The increase in salary which was granted us makes .our schedule compare favorably with the schedules of other roads funning through the same country and having the same physical character- istics. Our meetings with the officials have at all times been very pleasant and we leave with a friendly feeling which we earnestly desire will continue indefinitely. “The meeting was for the purpose of ask- ing for a raise In wages, for the purpose of discussing differences between the men and the company, and also in, regard to individual cases. The Increase in wages amounts to 4% or © per cent, and we have assurances from the officlals that they will make every effort to shorten excessive hours on the road. The next meeting will be in this city In about two years time." The board elected officers at its Monday session. C. V. McLaughlan of Laramie succceded C. I. Englo as general chair- man.

Richards became the general secretary and treasurer, succeed- ing G. H. Updegraff of Omaha, who has acted for five years. GOSSIP OF COMMISSION ROW Special Collection Among Sidewalk Men to Fight New Peddlers’ Ordinance. Though none but the usual services were held on the public market place yestorday & speclal collection was taken up and proved to be about the only speclal feature of the day. The money raised by the col- lection will be used in securing legal talent In the case now In the police court which it 1s hoped, by the contributors to the col- lection, may knock out the peddiers’ license ordinance recently passed by the city coun- cll. The “sidewalk” men who have been enjoying market privileges for some time without paying dues of any kind do not relish the idea of being compelled to either purchase stalls in the Capitol avenue ma ket house or pay a peddler's license, The new ordinance provides that every peddior shall pay a license of $30 per year, and one of $20 per year for every helper employed. In the case now In the police court a peddler had two helpers, but licenses for only himself and one helper. Chaselas grapes were on the market to- day for the first time this season and sold at $L76 fof four five-pound baskets. This 18 considered low, but the lar Tokay grapes, which will come in next week, it is predicted, will be high. New honey also made its first appearance on the market, selling at $3.75 for twenty-four frames. ‘Watermelons will be lower from this time forward, as there is a plentiful supply com- ing In daily. ‘dshington onfons, as big and handsome as Bpanish onlons, are on the market at $2 for 100-pound sacks. They are mil¢ and sweet. Corn sold at 7 and 8 cents, summer squash at 10 cents per dogen, and potatoes, tomatoes, beans, cucumbers and apples maintained the figures of the previous twe days.
