BULLS AND BEARS GRUNIBLING,
Many Exchanges and Brokers Begin to
Show VexatiOn.

NEW 1ORK, July 21.-All the exchanges
feel more or less the effect of the strike.
The most bitter complaint comes from the
Cotton Exchange, where, 1t was said, that
nineteen messages were behind, two since
the 10Th instant. The officials here talk
of entering into contract with the Bal
timore and Ohio Company, unless affairs
in the Western Union Company resume
their wonted course in day or two. The
weekly reports of twenty-fOur towns.
which issued once a week, came out as
usual yesterday. Fifteen of the interior
ones had to be estimated, which caused
much bitter complaint.
At the Produce Exchange it was said
that but few quotations were received, and
scarcely any to-day. 1t was thought here
that at least enc hundred messages were
behind.
The Postal Telegraph Company has run
a wire into the Produce Exchange. over
which most of their reports were received.
Some action may be taken by the board
the first OF next week unless the difficulty
is settled.
A member of the Stock Exchange said
that the loss and inconvenience to brokers
and members was much greater than they
would acknowledge. He thought that
the Exchange would quietly await re-
suits, and take no action unless the Wes-
tern Union Company did not do something
to end the strike.
The strike is not felt at the New York
Mining, Stock and National Petroleum EX-
changes, las nearly all their quotations are
received over private wires.
At the Maritime Exchange the Phila-
delphia wire is working all right, but
nothing is coming from Baltimore or
Washington, and this is the cause of much
trouble in their commercial business. In
all the Exchanges sympathy is expressed
for the strikers, and hopes for their sue
cess are heard on every side.

to the commercial world in transmitting
market quotations. The entire Office
force, including reporters on 'Change,
quilted their posts and no quotations
were sent in consequence. The company
is branch of the Western Union, and
the officials of the latter company report
that the difficulty will soon be overcome.
MEMPHIS, July 21.-Only meagre mar
ket reports were received and this has
caused considerable inconvenience to the
mercantile community. Many COM
plants are heard and threats of suits
against the Western Union Company are
freely discussed, although no definite ac-
tion has yet been taken.
LOUISVILLE, July 21.-Business in all
speculative commodities is at total stand
still here. Western Union is still re-
ceiving business, but is handling it with
extreme difficulty.
CHICAGO, July 22.-Yesterday after
noon's papers declare that speculative
business on Change is practically at a
stand still.
President Dunham of the Chicago Board
OF Trade, is in receipt Of a request from
members of the Milwaukee Chamber of
Commerce to call meeting of the Chica-

special meeting of the Board will probably
