STATE OF TRADE.

Advance in Corn on Account of Drought.
Business Improving.
New YORK, Aug. 10.-R. q. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade tomorrow
will say:
The advance in corn dseloseu gen.
eral belief that the injury to this most
i'm portant crop has been 60 great as to
affect materially the traffic Of railroads,
the demand for manufactured products
and the cost OF meats for the coming
year. Unless the markets revive or are
entirely deceived, our country will have
a real calamity in the loss OF something
like 500, 100000 bushels Of corn, and this
loss consumers have to share through
the advance of IA cents in two weeks
and cents since Friday of last week.
Neither official or unofficial statements
as yet preclude the hope that the loss
may prove less BerioIs. but at current
prices 100000 bushels would cost as
much as 100000 bushels would have
cost q fortnight ago.
Wheat has risen So cents in the two
weeks and 2la cents during the week,
although western receipts have been
5,223, l2S bushels, against 3,l62,694 last
year. Atlantic exporta are still about
half ae large as year ago, 1888, ,4S5
bushels, against 2, ,734, 1884 last year.
Pork products are little stronger, aH
is natural.
Cotton has twice risen and again de-
clined a sixteenth, with increasing
prospects of very large yield, closing
without Chs. lge for the week.
The iron and steel manufacturers re-
ceived a great increase OF nearly 5000
tons in weekly output in July, and the
production is lis, 1856 tons weekly, about
IL 900 tons less than in April, but 5000
tons more than q year ago, when the
prostration had reached its worst. The
,decrease in unHold stocks was only 6137
tons for the month, showing a oonsump-
tion in manufacture not quite equal to
the present output. Prices sustain this
view, having been changed only in the
direction OF weakness. The disappoint-
ed demand for finished product is still
the main factor.

strong and healthy, though conspicu-
ously confined to medium and low

man ia back from Castle Rest and New.
port, but he declines to be interviewed
on the events which have absorbed the
public mind and from which he hid him
self away last June. His home is still
guarded by private watchmen, who
lounge around the lawn and keep watch
on anyone who stops to glance at the
abiding place of the president of the
$50. 900. 900 corporation.
Vice.President Wickes, the trusted
lieutenant Of the marquis. and General
Manager Brown of the Pullman works
called at the Prairie avenue mansion.
They were recognized by the watchmen,
and were soon inside in conference with
their chief for several hours, discussing
the situation at the shops and formulat-
ing plans for the future.
1t is presumed that action will be de-
termined for evicting the strikers from
the compsny's houses.
The Post printa the following from
Pullman:
Pullman'e tenants will be evicted.
Vice-President Wickes said 80 today.
The COMPANY claims that it must find
houses for it's employees to live in, and
as the strikers have been camping in the
Pullman flats without paying q cent of
rent for the last three months, they
must get out. This move is the very
last in the strike, and it will forever dis
comfit the strikers.
The company's houses cover about
5000 people at present. These 5000 con-
sist of the striking workmen and their
families. There are about 1000 new men
in the shops that have families and that
desire to live near their work. The old
employees must make way fer the new
ones. -. ......l
"Will the Pullman company evict
the tenants?" Mr.. Wickes WAS asked
today.
"6omething of that kind must be
DONE" he replied. "We must find
quarters for our new employees"
Have you taken any eteps yet in the
matter?"

so."
"When?"

yers were already looking about and
would De prepared at any minute to 60
ahead with the work of eviction.
"Will it not be a troublesome busi-
nesst I"
"Oh, don't know. I suppose it can
be done easily enough. 1t must be done
anyhow"
Eviction is the very last thing the
people have locked for. One woman on
Fulton street said:
"Surely, they will not put MS ont.
Where would we go? We have no t
money enough to buy bushelo of coal.
We have no clothes, and the American
public will not stand by and see a
thousand families rendered homeless. I"
But that is undoubtedly what must
be done, for it is necessary that the
company take decisive action. The out
look for the present population of "the
model town" ia not full OF cheer. In
TACT it is desperate.

The executive committee of 16 of the

OMAHA, Aug. 10.-Several more COM
panies Of troops from the interior of the
state arrived tonight and were at once
rushed into South Omaha. The strikers
are quiet and offer little opposition to
the soldiers. But the troops have not
relaxed their vigilance on the peaceful
appearance OF things, and equsds of sol.
diers conetantly patrol the streets. and
a gatling gun is unlimbered st the inter-
section Of the two principal streets
where it can sweep in all directions.
Several of thu members of the strikers
executive committee expressed them
selves as being perfectly satisfied that
the troops had been called out, but the
men on the street did not take 40 kindly
to it as did the committee. They say it
was not necessary to bring in soldiers,
and privately intimate they will have
revenge.
"Just wait until these soldiers are sent
home," said one of tho men, land we
will see who comes out on top"
The troops have been ridiculed by
some of the strike sympsthizers, and in
one or two instances hisses were heard
as they patrolled the streets. The SOL
diers took it good naturedly.
Considerable comment has been &C.
caaioned by the action of the sheriff in
not controlling the mob without the as
sistaEce of the militis. The deputies in
citizens clothes were as helpless to con-
troll the mob as any ordinary citizen.
They were laughed to acorn by the
strikers, and were obliged to allow
things to take their course.
Upon the arrival OF the troops the dep
uties were Withdrawn and started for
Omaha. The soldiers had only to saw
the word and the men gave way without

Everything was ordinarily quiet this
