were strong, with an improved tendency,
but the absence of outside orders made
trade drag and tended TO weaken
values. AS compared with the closing
figures on Change yesterday, prices show
but little advance. Cash and August
dull and nearly nominal at September
prices. Curb figures are the sale to Sc
under yesterday.
To-day, under the influence of light re-
ceipts and good demand by packers and
shippers, the market for hogs was active,
firm and to 10c higher for heavy and
light grades, with most of the offerings
sold. Sales ranged from $5.15@6. About
5000 were received. The receipts of cat
tie were again fair, with only few droves
of choice to extra qualities, which were
sold to Armour at $6.2O@635 by keenan,
& Hancock for dressed beef. The market
was firm for the best grades of shipping
cattle, but weak and lower for Texan and
common qualities. Sales were slow
and ranged from 1915 for good
COWS to $465@5.6O for fair
to good shipping, and from
$5.o5@6.55 Tor choice to extra prime steers
The receipts for the day are 1000 head.
On the curb this evening the following
prices were quotable: October lard $3.50;
October pork, $12.471s; September corn,
5035c; October, 5O1Sc; October wheat,
$1.o44@1.O45S. The feeling indicates
lower markets tomorrow unless unfavor-
able weather or an improved demand &C.
ours. The telegraph service, however,
promises to be fair, as the Western Union
is straining every nerve to meet the emer-
gency, being now well settled in the old
Mutual Union Office across the way, with
about half its usual complement of wires
working.
The decision of the directors on the
MctIeoch Fowler lard matter will be an
nounced on the board tomorrow.

Special Telegram to the Globe.
New YORK, Aug. 21.--Wall street was
largely in possession of the bears again
to-day and their manipulation caused a
feverish market on the stock exchange.
The session opened with an up settled feel
ing, Slayback selling Louisville & Nash
vile, LII. White selling st. Paul. and
everybody selling Denver. The fire in the
Unions Office deprived the market of
many orders from the West. The bear
talk was very demoralizing and in the
midst of it Denver was sold down on stop
orders to 214.
After the first hour Slaybsck and others
mashed Louisville & Nashville down.
Quiet buying continued. Towards noon
the market began to improve slightly, and
during the middle hours was active and
strong, later becoming very dull. There
was great deal of interest regarding the
presidency of the Denver road.
w. L. Scott said there is no trouble in
Denver finances and that the interest will
be promptly paid. F. Lovejoy, formerly
of the Adams express, has had the offer of
the presidency, and would fill the position
well if he would accept it. Sidney Dill
lon, Jas. F. Joy and James D. Fisk, presi-
dent of the Marine bank, were all men
toned at different times during the day as
presidents of the Denver. There was good
buying in st. Paul at 1O2. Alton earnings
for the second week decreased $4,000; I'm
ion Pacific for eighteen days in August
decreased $4,000; Burlington,C edarRapids
& Northern, $4,000. The short interest
that was about closed out on Saturday is
again very large and all stocks are lend
ing freely.
The result of the days's dealings
was Louisville & Nashville LOST
1%c, Omaha preferred &c and
Minneapolis il st. Louis preferred de-
clined &c while Denver & Rio Grande
gained &c, Western Union lie, st. Pau
&c, Northern Pacific 1c, Northern Pacific
preferred 35c, Oregon Transcontinenta
&c, Northwestern 58c, Manitoba &c. Al
the close there was much better feeling
The failure of Schutt & Knight with liza
bilities of $4,000 had very slight effect
on the market. The outlook for more Of
an improvement favorable, quite a con
trast from that of twentyfour hours ago
The Incorporation of the National Tele
graph company st Albany, N. Y, was
made public to-day.

business Failures.

Boston, Aug. 21.-The creditors OF
Wright, Worsker & Co., the suspended
wool dealers, voted and refused any state
ment of affairs for publication. 1t is re,
ported that the direct liabilities are 1852
600, and the contingent liabilities some
thing over 100000. No authentic report
could be obtained. A committee was ap.
pointed to make an investigation and re-
port.
Boston, Mass, Aug. 21.-An attachment
for $4,000 has been placed upon the
property of Head, of the commission an
brokerage firm of Merrill d Heald, OF
Lawrence, at the instance OF P. Harvey &
Co., of Chicago, with whom they.have done
business. This has led to rumor that
the former firm had suspended. but they
claim this is untrue and the attachment is
merely the result of a misunderstanding
as to their respective accounts which will
speedily be settled by the court.
BosToN, Aug 21.-The liabilities of Jos.

announced last night are said to be about

STILL INVESTIGATING.

Important Witnesses Give the Senate Com =
mittee an Insight Into the Losses and
Results of Various Strikes.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Before the senate
sub committee on labor and education
there appeared this morning Richard Pow
ers, of Chicago, president of the Seamen's
union of the lakes. This union, ne said,
improved the moral condition of its mem
bers, and had secured them higher wages,
and is now striving to procure the passage
OF laws tending 10 diminish the risk of
life incurred by sailors, prohibit
ing the overlooking of vessels,
and making it compulsory to man them
with suitable crews. A great number of
lake vessels, he said were unseaworthy, and
a law should be passed, he urged, provid-
ing that at least two thirds of the sailors
employed on American vessels should be
native born Americans.
Geo. q. Block, as representative of the
journeymen bakers of this city, testified
that the condition of bakers was very de-
graded, on account of the long hours they
are compelled to labor. They begin work
at 2 p. m. and continue until 4, 5, and 5
a. m. The greater number are unmarried.
The average wages are $500 week. The
bakers struck some time ago for a reduc-
ton to twelve hours labor. The bosses
agreed to this, but when the men returned to
work the pledges given were broken.
Block stated that of the walters employ
ed at beer saloons many are Prussian
army officers, German nob!emen and
princes come to this country expecting
to make fortune, but who found this the
ny lrrr Oe
In speaking of the brewers, Block said
there are i'll this city thirty breweries en-
ploying about $50 men. A trades union
was organized in 1881 shortly after the
strike for decrease in working hours to
twelve hours per day and extra pay for
Sunday work. The strike WAS won By the
men. The wages range from
$50 to 500 per month.
Andolph Strasser, president of the Cigar
Makers Internatio nai union, read large
quantity of statistics showing the average
rate of wages in his trade in this country
and the cost of living. The figures showed
that when there were existing organizations
a much higher rate of wages prevailed
than when the industry was unorganized.
The highest rate paid was $16 week; the
lowest SIS. Since 1864 there have been
362 strikes In the cigar business
won; 137 lost; II compromised and still in
progress. One strike lasted ten months
and was finally compromised. The strikes
actully cost 1886, "A, and there was an
actual gain III wages of workmen of
$4,000 per apnum. There were 1856
branches OF International unions in this
country and Canada and a mem
bership of $4,000. Strasser suggested
legislative measures which would
tend to mitigate the evils which they Gre
ated. Labor in general in this country de-
manded the enforcement, of national eight
hour law. to authorize the Incorporation of
labor organizations and place them on the
same basis as other corporations; to estab-
fish a national bureau of labor statistics,
and amend the revenue law by providing
that after May, 1884, no licenses be grant
en- TO cigar manufacturers employing
prison or psnitentiary labor.

German TtsitOrs 10 tbs Country.

The president of the Northern Pacific
railroad, Henry Willard, is, it seems, a
Bavarian by birth, with a warm heart still
for the old fatherland, and it was always
his earnest desire, according to the news
paper, ''to see Germany represented by a
brilliant deputation in the hour of his tri-
umph." A famous German painter has
even been engaged to "perpetuate" the
moment when Henry Willard, near the
western entrance to the Mullan tunnel, at
one of the most magnificent spots in Mon
tana, with his own hand lays down the last
rail and fixes it with nail of massive
gold, masterpiece of American art"
The brilliant deputation," which sails for
America in the Elbe, will include official
representatives of the cities of Hamburg,
Bremen and Berlin, in the persons of two
senators and member of the imperial
parliament. Maj Gen. Won Xylander, the
Bavarian military attache to the federal
council and Col. Ritter Won Xylander, com
handing the LIST Bavarian cavalry brigade;
an officer of the railway regiment of the
Prussian guards, privy councillor attach
ed to the Prussian ministry OF public
works, Prof. Hoff of the chair of chemis-
try in the Berlin university, snd the pro-
fessor of geology at Munich;
Prof. Gueiss and Herr George
Won Bunsen members of the
imperial parliament; DR.. Siemens, di-
rector of the German bank and the director
of the South German Credit Foncier bank;
representatives of the Frankfort ana other
chambers of commerce and of the German
Life Insurance society, the previous min
lister resident of the Hanse cities at Wash
ingtoD, several government officials of
high rank and representatives of all the
leading German journals, with some emil
nent merchants, bankers and others.
Without doubt" says the National lei
tung, ''these German guests in the United
States will be received with delight by
Germans as we'll as Americans, and their
trip across America from the Atlantic to
the Pacific ocean will take the form of
triumphaI procession"
The heart of President Villar doubtless
still beats warmly for the land of his birth,
and it is but natural that on that account
alone, to speak of nothing else, he should
wish to ses Germany brilliantly represent
ed in the ''hour of his triumph" but it is
equally we'll known that it is in tbs inter
est of the great Northern Pacific Railway
company to see furnishing population
fanking its line along its entire length,
and how could this result be better pro-
NOTED than by taking means to attract to
its neighborhood the enormous stream of
emigration which annually flows westward
from the fatherland? Certainly the Ger
man people will hear enough of the great
Northern Pacific railway during the next
month or two, and President Willard will
have shown himself to be as proficient in
the arts of advertisement as he is remark
able for the virtue of patriotism.
