form with the present classification, and
the accumulat on OF stocks i'm both prod
ucts Is discouraging to purchasers for
an advance. Producers are compelled
10 sell at prices below the ordinary cost
OF raising crops, and in some Western
states there is also lamentable failure
of the corn crop. Under the circum-
stances 1t would be very strange II the
demand for manufactured products
should he quite as in other years.
Wheat suffers most from accumula-
tion of stocks IN sight, which are far
beyond what Ia usually expected for the
season, and the exports in September
were unusually small. For the first
week OF October. Atlantic exports were
1.097.S72 bushels against 1868, ,746 last
year. and Western receipts were only
4.6l5.60O bushels. against 6.310,6S7 last
year, and these figures give some en-
couragement, but have little influence
in view of the unusual visible supply.
The price for cash wheat is small
fraction higher for the week.
Corn receipts at the West have been
only third as large as they were last
year. with exports amounting to nothing,
but the price has not further declined
after the heavy fall during the previous
fortnight. Pork products are weak in
tone, though only lard is quotably lower.
Cotton is One-eighth lower, the cash
price being the lowest known for forty
five years, and considering the differ
ence in classification 1t is perhaps lower
than at any time in 1919, and estimates
that the crop is more than l0,OO0,OOO
bales are more commonly credited now
than estimates Of S,5O0,000 were two
months ago. With favorable weather
they would seem likely to be the largest
ever known.
The condition of the industries Is In
some respects more satisfactory. Evil
IDENTIFY there is larger demand for iron
products than there was month ago.
though the increase in output has been
somewhat greater than the increase in
the demand. SO that prices steadily tend
downward. Bessemer pig is selling at
5000 at Pittsburg and bar iron at 95
cents, with steel bars at 81 .O5. while
contract to suppress the principal
Western competitor In nail manufacture
is expected to hold the price at 81 for
wire and IS cents for cut nails. The
structural market is fairly active at the
West, without change in the East, aud
while the coke output has now become
the heaviest ever known. 149, IT'S tons
for the week, the price is declining and
steps are being taken to limit the sup
ply.
The boot and shoe ade continues to
deliver more goods than in any previous
year. as it did in September. and most
Of the works still have orders for one or
two months ahead. although mainly for
low or medium-priced goods. There is
little better demand this week for
goods of higher quality, however, and
the demand for leather is still reducing
the reserve.
The failures for the past week have
been 219 in the United States, against
800 last year, and 80 in Canada, against
45 last year.

today selected by the committee
OF seventy and also by the
regular Republican organization
to head The municipal ticket this fall,
Col. Strong being nominated for mayor
and Mr.. Gotf for recorder. The COM
mittee of seventy held lively session
late this afternoon at the United Chari-
ties building. Hon. c. c. Beman acted
as chairman and made q brief address,
placing in nomination Col. Strong for
mayor. John w. Golf for recorder. John
board of aldermen, Henry Il.
Beeman for judge of the supe-
ior court, Otto Kempner for sheriff and
DR.. William O'Meagher and DR.. Emil
w. Hoeber tor coroner. A letter was
read from Col. Strong, pledging himself
to run on non-partisaD basis. Mr..
Beeman said that the ticket would
please Golf, DR.. Parkhurst and every
body.
A letter was also read from Mr.. Golf,
declining to permit the use of his name
in connection with the mayoralty.
Francis NJ. Scott, of the Grace Democ-
racy. raised storm by stating that he
was opposed to the nomination
OF Col. Strong because a
Republican should not be
selected as the candidate for mayor.
He did not think a Republican could
win in this city even If indorseG by all
the anti-Tammany organizations. Sew
eral delegates from the O'Brien Dem-
ocracy, the Good Government clubs. the
German-American reform union and
other antl-Tammany organizations did
not agree with MIR. Scott. In spite of
the protests of the Grace Democracy the
ticket was indorsed by the COM
mittee OF seventy. Mr.. Grace
and his friends left the confer
ence, and it was understood that
the expected had happened, and that
the state Democracy had bOlted the
nomination of Strong, a Republican, for
mayor. There were several other
speeches before Col. George Bliss could
get the floor and call the attention OF
the chair to the fact that tine Republican
to attend the county convention, the
time for which had already arrived.
The convention then adjourned subject
to the call of the chair.
The Republican county convention
met shortly before 9 O'Clock, just after
the conference of the anti-Tammany
organization had adjourned, and nomi-
mated Col. William |. Strong for mayor
and John w. Goff for recorder. The
remainder of the ticket presented by
the committee of seventy was not nomi-
mated, because several Of the men pro-
posed are members of the Grace or
state Democracy. and Col. Bliss reported
that there was no hope of the Grace
men acting with the other organizations
on union ticket. The nomination of
Strong and Gotf was by reclamation.
A committee was appointed to pre-
pare a platform, and the convention
adjourned subject to the cali OF the
chair. Meantime other conferences
will be held, ana if the Grace men abso-
lutely refuse to negotiate with the Re.
publicans, other names will be SubSti-
tuted to make up the tail of the ticket
from the Republicans, the O'Brien,
Stacker. German Reform union and
Good Government organizations.

SNUBBED VETERANS.
COL. BARBER IN DANGER OF
COURT MARTIAL.
His Action in Connection With the
Army oftne Tennessee Causing
a Sensation.

OMAHA. Oct. 5.-There is some prob
ability that the letter of Col. Merritt
Barber, adjutant general of the depart
ment OF the Platte. to the local repre-
sentatives of the Army of the Tennes-
see, i'll refusing to have anything 10 do
with that society, and referring to II in
most discOHrteous manner, will cause
a court martial. 1t has created a sensa-
ton i'll military circles OF considerable
proportions.
Col. Barber has an excellent record a
soldier for gallantry, aud haa been
liked by men for his kindness when he
has been in the line. His singular re-
sponse to the Army of the Tennessee
invitation is therefore considered the
more surprising. One of the regular
officers taking part in the reunion said
today that the affair would receive
official Inquiry when reports of it
reached Washington. Gen. Howard
was very angry when he read Col. Bar
ber's letter, and said he would attend
to the matter when he got back East.
Gen. Stone, chairman of the executive
committee, determined. to suppress all
correspondence in the affair with Col.
Barber, but some of sthe committee in
it. Gen. Howard is quoted as having
commented on Col. BARRIERS course in
Scathlng terms. in speaking of brother
officers and the committee.
Barber in his letter declared he had
never heard Of the association and cared
nothing for it.
His Friends Startled.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Army officers
in Washington were surprised and
grieved at the conduct OF Col. Merritt
Barber. While no official notice of his
action has been received here. it is not
doubted that the department command
er, Gen. Brooke, will prefer charges to
the war department upon which Col.
Barber will be court martialed. Prob
ably the charge will be conduct unbe.
coming an officer and gentleman, or
conduct to the prejudice of good order
and discipline. Col. Barber's conduct
is the more ineXpllcable i'll that he
is himself member of the Society of the
Army of the Potomac and has at times
fraternally attended the reunions of
the Army OF the Tennessee. Army
otfic erS here are filled with regret at
Col. Barber's action, first because of
their concern al its i'll effect upon the
service generally, which it is their
effort to p0pularlZe. but mainly because
OF the cloud it threatens 10 cast upon a
brilliant record. Col. Barber is not
West Pointer, but entered the army
during the war as a volunteer, served
with distinction part of the time OH
Gen. Grants staff, and did not enter
the regular army until after the war.
The fact is recalled that Col. Barber
has in recent years suffered from nerv-
Gus breakdowns. While assistant adju-
tant general at st. Paul about two years
ago he collapsed. and it has been mat
ter of doubt whether he has ever
reSOYered entirely.

HE CLAIMS AN ALIBI.
One of the Chauvin Heirs Ar
rested for the Murder

rested Tor the Murder.
DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 5.-William D.
Trombley is locked up at police head
quarters ON suspicion of being connect
ed with the murder of Charles B. Chau-
vim, his uncle. Trombey is the missing
heir of the Chauvin estate, for whom
the police have been searching in New
York, and who sold his interest in the
Chauvin estate to John Ii. Seitz.
Trombley and Seitz came to Detroit from
New York last night and spent the
night at Seitz's home, on Wood ward
avenue, and they came down early this
morning and went to the office of G. T.
Lathrop, Seitz's lawyer, where the ar
rest was made.
The charge registered opposite
Trombley's name at police headQpar-
ters is suspicion of nufder." He was
privately examined by detectives this
this afternoon, and witnesses were
brought to endeavor to Identity Tromb-
ley as one of the persons seen near
Chauvin's cottage on the date of the
murder. The detectives afterward
claimed the attempts at Identification
were encouraging, and will summon
other witnesses.
A special to the Free Press from New
York announces that Trombley was at
work In New York on Sept. 9, the date
of the murder Of Chauvin, Trombley's
uncle. This will upset the theory of
Detroit detectives that Trombley was a
participatOr In the murder.

THE READING WARS ON La
BOR.
Employees Ask an Injunction to
Prevent Discharge.

Employees Ask an Injunction to
Prevent Discharge.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 5. - ATTORNEY
William T. Montague, of Washington,
appeared before Judge Dallas in the
United States circuit court today and
asked the judge to interfere with the
Intended discharge on Monday of some
of the employees on the Philadelphia d
Reading railroad. Mr.. Montague said
that the men in question had been noti-
fed by the superintendent that they
must renounce their membership in a
certain labor organization or be dis
charged from the railroad company's
employ. Some of the men were mem
bers of the organization for the last
seven or eight years, and their leaving
would involve the giving up Of property
rights. He therefore desired restrain
ing order TO prevent the discharge of
the men until the matter could be dis
posed of by the courts.
Judge Dallas inquired whether or not
ne had given notice to counsel for the
receivers. The answer was that this
had not yet been done. The Judge
declined to take action in the
matter in this irregular way.
After some discussion it was ar
ranged that the lawyer is to notify
the receivers counsel and the Judge
permitted the matter to 20 over until
Monday, when it will again be called
up. The name of the organization was
carefully suppressed; but, in the course
of his remarks to the court, Mr. Mon.
tague said that the grand master work
man lived In Illinois. There were
several railroad employees with the law
yer, but their names were not given,
and all parties would have preferred If
the affair could have avoided publicity
until Monday. Mr.. Montague did not
even file petition, bnt held one in his
band while addressing the court, which
he afterwards took away with him. AS
Mr. Wilkinson, the head of the Brother
hood of Railway Tralnmen, resides at
Galesburg, ILL, it is presumed that this
is the organization involved.
