greater portion of the trading was credited
to local operators. The feeling was firm,
however, and the result of the days busi-
ness shows a material advance in prices
established for the leading articles. Ship
ping inquiry light, as few orders were re-
ceived. Foreign advices were less favor
able to holders, and lard was quoted cd
lower. Advices from eastern markets were
meagre and showed little change. The re-
ceipts of produce were fair, and shipments
quite liberal of all kinds. The
demand for mess pork was mod
crate and offerings not very large.
Trading was mainly confined to local
operators. The market exhibited con-
siderable strength in a general way
though prices fuctuated considerably
within small range during the early part
of the session. At the opening the
market was stronger and 10@15c higher
but soon receded So 10c. Later stronger
feeling was again developed and prices
rallied 20@ 25c and closed with steadiness.
September at $4,000 35c better than
yesterday ;judging from. the tone developed
at the close there is a good time coming
for the bulls. Under the circumstances
there was a fair business transacted in
lard and the feeling was frmer through
out the greater portion of the session.
The gradual reduction in stocks attracts
some attention and parties who have
contracts outstanding are little more
inclined to purchase. During the early
part of the session the feeling was quiet
and few sales were reported at SO 10c
advance. Later the marked showed little
more activity and prices were improved

erable frmness to the close. Shipping in
quiry moderate. Cash rather quiet and
quoted at $9@9.10.

NEW YORK, July 20.-The market was
frmer to-day with a good business and
evidence of better buying than has been
witnessed for some time past. The ad-
vance was most marked during the last
hour, when there was quite an inquiry for
the properties, Western Union telegraph,
Delaware & Lackawanna and several of
the other dividend payers. Pullman
Palace sold at 131, quite handsome gain
from yesterday. The feeling was less
feverish and were it not for the uncertain
ty caused by the telegraphic troubles, con-
might expect a change for the better in
Wall street. The news come from an ex-
cellent source that the prospects for abun-
dant crops along the line of the Northern
Pacific were never better than they are to-
day. For the first time in many days the
Vanderbilt stocks were we'll supported and
quite an important advance when com
pared with the lowest figures of twenty
four hours ago. The market had quite
firm appearance at the last. A prominent
Broadway house sold a large amount of
Lackawanna. This was alleged to be for
inside account Boston sold considerable
Union Pacific and Chicago is reported a
liberal seller of St. Paul. There was &C
tive trading in Western Union, and the
price fuctuated. 1t was evident that the
strike had been discounted. The reason
was expressed by a prominent trader who

to think Mr.. Gould will give Western
more support now that the strike has oc-
Cured than he otherwise would. You see
That means, as it always does in Wall
street, that anything is better than un-
certainty. The improvement was assisted
by favorable reports from the trunk line
meeting and by belief that the Western
Union strike would not be as serious as
at first supposed. There was
strong buying of stocks
throughout the afternoon, while
the selling was generally by room traders.
The best prices of the day were made in a
number of stocks in the final dealing. The
Graphic says the prices at which certain
dividend paying stocks are now selling pay
good return to the buyers in the way OF

picking them up at every decline. Should

LATEST REPORTS FROM THE FIELD
ShOW That the Telegraph Company is
Keeping Stiff Upper Lip.
Situation IN st. Paul.


The ST. Paul telegraph Office was able to
handle all business yesterday, so far as
having a receiving and sending force, but
were much interfered with by railroad op-
orators who, by breaking in, opening
their keys, etc, retarded the
work. This is matter which
is exceedingly difficult to counteract. An
operator can break the circuit and prevent
business going through and the sending
and receiving offices cannot determine
where the trouble is. If they should final
ly call up the night Office, they are more
likely to talk with the very man who has
made the mischief than with any one else.
The Western Union company offer a
reward of $500 for the conviction Of any
on tampering with their wires either in
rairoad offices or otherwise. The penalty
IS fine and Imprisonment and the COM
pany propose to invoke the law to protect
themselves. But for this matter business
in the st. Paul Office would have gone
along yesterday with scarcely any percept-
ible difference.
The St. Paul Office reported having six
teen men on duty last night, which was
more than they needed in view of the lack
of working wires noted above and good
many went home early to be on deck
this morning for day duty. They
expect more men in to-day
and say that so far as securing the re-
quisite number of operators is concerned
there is no longer any necessity for the
least anxiety.
The situation in the minor offices is
much the same as before, the strike hav-
ing affected them but little as but few
have Joined in the movement.
The st. Paul brotherhood held NEE ting
at 10 o'clock yesterday and their ranks
were unshaken. They resolved to stand
firm and initiated seven new members
They report everything progressing favor
ably and declare their unalterable deter
mination to remain out permanently and
abandon the business or win in the contest.
They adjourned until o'clock to-day
when they expect to have more recruits fol

THE SITUATION AT CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, July 2O.-"I knew we had the
men beaten ten minutes after the strike
had taken place." said Col. Clowry this
afternoon, "and subsequent developments
have proved my opinion correct" The
superintendent went on to declare that the
company was already in position to
handle more business than the public was
handing in. Manager Mccullough, of the
Baltimore & Ohio company, takes more
gloomy view of the situation, and de-
clacej his company practically at stand
still IL this city. In st. Louis and Cincin-
matt number of applications have been
made for situations, but the applicants, as
rule, proved incompetent. He asserts
it as his view that the operators will win
in the pending controversy.
The striking operators held a meeting
this afternoon which was largely attended,
and there was considerable enthusia-
asm. Nine5y-four new members were
initiated including number brought to
the city to take the places of those who
quilted the Office Thursday. The mem
bers of the brotherhood expressed bitter
ness at the reports given by portion of
the press, as to the situation in other cities
and claimed they were colored for the
benefit of the company. They further
contended that the advices
from every large city showed that the
companies we're in hard straits and were
keepinga up a show of activity, while in
reality they were badly crippled. None of
the Chicago strikers have thus far made
application to return to the company's
employ At O'Clock this afternoon the

company claims to be we'll up on all busi-
ness in hand, and that by tomorrow they
expected to accept messages without the

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-Secretary Fo lger
is now preparing and Will promulgate in a
day or two an order to collectors of Gus
toms to guide,their official actions in the
matter of the export of distilled spirits.
This order will in brief take the ground
that it is not lawful for such expectation,
when the purpose is prima facia only to
avoid the payment of the tax. Blanks COW
ering afidavits will be prepared, to which
the distillers will have to subscribe
to export their goods. This will be an en-
phatic declaration that the expectation is
with the sole view to sell the product
abroad and not for the purpose of evasion
or delay in the payment of the tax. The
spirits already shipped will not be allowed
the privileges which usually attach to re-
imported goods The secretary of the
treasury is not at all kindly disposed to-
ward the distilling interests, and is going
to make an earnest and stringent
endeavor to collect the tax now
due. The president seems to have
lite nerve when under the fire of the New
York newspapers. It is from this source
he seems to draw inspiration, regardless
of the fact that the boundless west is after
all the empire. When the announcement
was made of his intention to visit Yellow
stone park it was coupled with the state
ment that the president would not be
isolated from the world and the balance
of mankind as an ex-member of
congress once said because he
had arranged Ito have himself followed

newspapers of New York wanted to know
who was to pay for the telegraphic facili-
ties and limited that Arthur should pay fol

The TeIegrGph Troubles.
[Chicago Tribune, July 20. ]

The TribuIle's estimate yesterday of the
increased expenses of the telegraph COM
panies upon the basis of time and pay pro-
posed by the operators was 80 per cent.
Gen Eckert's estimate, made up indie
pendently upon information which he has
at hand as general manager of the Western
Union Telegraph company, was Eexactly
the same. But both these estimates were
based upon comparison with the new
time schedule fixed by the Western Union
company July II, whereby days work
was reduced to nine hours and nights
work to maxim um of eight hours. AS
compared with the working hours
which have constituted a day under
the rules of the company which
have been in force twelve years
the demand Of the operators amounted to
20 per cent. deduction in time, and for
this remaining so per cent. of time
they demand Is per cent. more money
than they are now getting for full time. In
all the history of strikes We have never
| hear. of so heavy demand for increased
compensation for actual work.
We doubt whether there is any business
in the country which could survive a sud
den increase of operating expenses of
nearly one-half. The percentage of in
creased expenses on the basis of com par
ison between the old system and the new
demand is made up as follows: A reduction
of the days work from ten hours to eight
hours, 20 per cent; the increase of pay, 10
per cent; double pay Sundays, large ad-
vance on linemen, and the advance of
the women operators paw to the same level
of the mems pay; total, 40 to 45 per cent.
There was carefully prepared state
ment telegraphed from Philadelphia in
the Tribune of last Monday, of the proba-
BILE money cost to the various companies
employing telegraph operators, which
would result from compliance with the
terms exacted by the operators, which we
recapitulate below:
