is steady at quotations. Hay is scarcer than
it has been in a long time, and markets are
firm at q shade higher prices. Wheat and

While flour prices are not reduced, from
present outlook it is only question of O
short time when a reduction must come.
Already the anxiety for trade has led to
some cutting on prices as quoted below.

THREE MEETINGS ON THE STRING
CAUSE A WAITING MARKET.

The Electric Settlement Considered the
Best Way Out of Serious Difficulty-The
Market Now in Good Shape for Whirl
Price Changes Unimportant.
The stock market was in a waiting attf-
tude yesterday. Considerable business was
transacted at the first CALL but the others
were goose eggs
With meetings of three important local
corporations in progress, operators were
disposed to await events. Reports of these
meetings will be found in another column.
The adoption of Mr.. Westinghouse's reor-
ganization plan was quite generally con-
ceded to be the most practical way to avoid
