Fortunately this struggle was brief, but another will begin on Monday at Fall River mills and other tex- tile plants in that vicinity. tside of Massa- chusetts, however, the labor situation is ex- cepticnally free from controversy and even in the coal mincs there is less than the usual agl- tation, as April approaches. Distribution of spring merchandise I8 makiig repld progress, the most sanguine expectatlons being fully realized in ali sections outside the strike area. Consumers of fron and steel products are still anxious regarding conditions during the next three montks. Offictal indications of farm reserves on March 1 were not surprising as to corn, deal- ers anticipating that supplies would be only | about one-half last year's, but the statement | that 23 per cent of the ciormous wheat vieid remained in farmers’ hands was not calculate to sustain values. Needed rains in the South- west made the market look more favorable for the next crop.

LS CHICAGO, March 14.—Corn strength domi- nated grains for the greater part of the session to-day. Local bulls took corn in hand shortly after the opening and easily forced prices the better part of a cent. Many bears went home last night with short lines, expecting a further decline to-day on yesterday's weakness. Cabies, however, were remarkably steady, thers was fear of & general spread of the cold wave in the Northwest and o leading bull started in early to bail out the offerings in the pit. Feed- ing ‘demand west was good and the West had nothing to sell. Kansas Clty was reported bid- ding ¢ over Chicago in lowa yesterday. Re- ceipts here were very light and the cash situa- tion was much fmproved. The b in wheat had nothing but_a temporary easing effect. May closed firm, %@%c higher, at 621 @62%c. Wheat at one time during the session felt encugh of the corn strength and the below zero weather in the Northwest to acquire a firm tone and sell above yesterday's closing price. After the slump of yesterday the cables had a very steady tone. Commission hpuses were ex- ecuting falr buying orders early, shorts be- came uneasy and covered. The market was fairly active and showed a fair amount of strength up to noon. The coarse grains aided materfally in the situation, but later, when sta- tistical journals announced the Western condi- tion favorable in the extreme, heavy selling set in. St. Lous and the crowd were very bearish, and prices suffered a serious relapse.

Butter is weak, but the impending decline has not yet occurred. Stocks are ample for all current requirements and buyers continue to purchase from hand to mouth. Supplies of Cheese continue too large and the market is still weak. Eggs showed no further change of conse- quence yesterday. All dealers reported plenty of stock on hand, and some had more than they could handle, but the market was steady. Dealers are still dolng some storing at the present prices, but the recent advance makes cold storage now considerable of a gamble.

The local consumptive demand is/ good, and occasionally a dealer squeezes 17c for the finest ranch, if he deltvers them, but the great bulk of the goods do mot cell over 16c. The majority of the trade would prefer to see the goods above the storage price, as the_storage purcheses are taking a good many Eggs away from the regular channels, but 16¢ appears ail that the public will stand at_the moment.

This is & sorry cutlook for our coast collieries which produce only steam coals. Still the interests of the many must be subserved, although it may be detrimental to the few, as cheap fuel is causing a large num- ber of factories to be established which wera never dreamed of formerly.
