MARKETS AND THE STRIKE.
In consequence Of the strike there has
been here a heavy advance in oats, and
some advance in wheat. The retail meat
market has not been materially affected
but il was thought that there would be
an increase in prices this week. Armour )
agency reported that they had no stock
on hand, and could not get any. swift
Brothers expect a carload of beer To-
day, and another tomorrow from their

in obtaining meat and provisions. They
are not able TO get any meat from their
Kansas City house but manage TO get
through enough cars from indianapolis
To keep their customers supplied, al
though they say they have to fill orders
sparingly. Two cars Of meat are expect
ed on Monday from Indianapolis.
In the markets yesterday there was
an advance in the price of fowls, and II
was said that the northern cities were
drawing heavily on the stock In Virginia.
At the Chesapeake and Ohio Offices II
was said IN the afternoon that the sys-
TEN proper was in first rate shape. There
was no trouble on the line, and none
was anticipated.
THE IRON-MOULDERS.
The Iron-Moul1 rs Union held its regu-
lar meeting at Lee-Camp Hall last night.
In view OF the fact that full attendance
had been urged the impression got
abroad that the meeting had some con-
nectiOn with the strike troubles In the
west. The Dispatch has the highest au-
thorlty for the statement that this Inn
pressiOn was entirely erroneous. fun
attendance was desired In order to hear
the consideration Of some private local
matters purely within the union. An
officer Of the organization said 10 Dis
patch representative last night that the
relations between the mouiders Of Rich
mond and their employees were never
more pleasant. and deprecated the idea
of the union becoming involved in any
trouble of any kind. He said further
that he knew OF no unrest among any
class Of wage workers In Richmond thus
bearing out the observation Of Mr.. Crea-
mer ard others, as given above.
