He Knew The Enemy.

1t is related that, at recent sham
battle, a young lieutenant, posted

ed his men to fire at a detachment
OF troops vino were marching by.
The guns were loaded with blank
cartridges, and no harm was done; but
the detachment happened to be on the
same side of the sham fight as the
company which had fired at it.
The commanding officer came riding
up.
"Why did you fire at those menu"
he demanded Of the lieutenant,
hotly.

Hogs and the Strike.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-The wheat market re-
acted under the influence of the better tone
to the first cablegrams. Beerbohm's dispatch
read: More disposition to buy" Another
read: Dull, not quotably lower" and the
public message from Liverpool noted an ad-
vance of I'D per Genital for American red
winter. The Cincinnati Price Currents re-
marks confirming private reports of disap-
pointing yields OF wheat from the tbras shiny
in South Dakota were likewise a mild assist
ance to the bulls. The traders paid q good
deal of attention to the dispatches which
came in from Buffalo during the session cori-
ceTning the ia Dor troubles. The effect OF the
strike is OF course, bearish on values while
1t continues. Some rose-colored re-

Provisions were again very much depressed

A DECLINE IN THE FINAL DEALINGS

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-The news from
the striking swi.chmen, which the bears
pretended made the slump in the last hour
yesterday was more favorable this morn
ing aud the prompt action of the Governor
infused little confidence into the stock
market, though its influence extended only
to fractional gains among the railroad
shares There was a rather more widely
distributed and larger business in the rail-
road shares, while the manipulation of the
industrials went on at an in
creased rate. The covering of shorts
was still most prominent In
burlington and the other grangers and the
first named rose l per cent. The upward
movement, while confined to insignificant
fractions among most of the railroad shares,
reached the entire list but only among the
few leaders was it noticeable. The high
prices attained induced some realiZations in
the last hour, and prices yielded slowly in
the face of the extra ordinary rise in Sugar,
which had come ap from l0S1s to 1928. with
al the other industrials following, most of
them scoring gains of from to per cent.
The market finally closed quiet, but heavy
on the decline, with most stocks at small
fractions better than yesterday.
Government bonds were dull and firm.

PIG IRON WARRANTS HIGHER.
But Steel, Pig Tin and Tin Plates Are
Ruling Weak and Lower.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S-[SpectaL 1.-The special
cable to the Iron Age reviews the foreign
situation as follows: Prices for pig iron war
rants have averaged a shade higher, Scotch
selling at 42s Id, Cleveland at 39s Sd and
hematite at 49s 3d@49s Cd. Business has been
only fair and confined chiefly to operators
identified with the "ring," who at least
make pretense of having confidence in the
future OF fhe market. This interest is chiefly
in Scotch warrants, but the advance in
prices has served to stiffen prices of other
kinds.
The market for some lines of steel is easier
and tue general situation rather uncertain,
and in ship plates business ha1 been done as
low as :f5 15s fob. Dealers have accumulated
supplies of old iron. and that fact, together
with a slow demand, gives the market
weaker appearance. The pig tin market has
