Live Stock Markets.
BOSTON, July T.-The wheat markets Of
the country have been very unsettled dur
ing the past week, and the fluctuations OF
prices have at times been very pronounced.
Improved crop prospects and a general
disbelief in short crop this year We're the
strong factors in the decline. Aside from
these. there was but little in the situation
to cause so radical decline, though the
absence of demand for cash wheat was of
course disagreeable feature.
Values recovered some later on in the
week, influenced, as ON the decline, by
crop reports. This time they were of an
unfavorable tenor from the northwest
where frosts, followed by severe heat were
supposed to have worked damage. The
adyices, however, were very conflicting,
and were as often denied as confirmed.
Persistent and heavy selling on the part
of leading spectators, who were supposed
to be we'll posted on conditions in the
northwest, helped the decline Of Saturday,
and there was nothing in the shape of
news to counterfeit their efforts.
While exporters are reported as not
buying of late, the shipments keep up
we'll, and last week were 2,317, 900 bushels.
Argentine shipments were also quite
large, amounting to 10000 bushels.
On the whole there has not been much
encouragement derived during the week
by the bulls, nor is there much in sight
that induces belief in immediate higher
prices for the cereals.
It is impossible to make forecast with
any degree of accuracy. Should the re-
ports of damage in the northwest prove to
be reliable there is nothing that would
prevent a considerable advance in prices
from their present basis, but there must
be some definite information in this re-
gard before any permanency of values need
be expected.
To sustain present values or to advance
them there must in short be radical i'm.
provement in the demand or severe dam
age to growing crops. Should neither Of
these events come to pass it is doubtful if
the market can be sustained on it's present
level.
The tone of the flour market continued
depressed during the greater portion Of
the past week, and buyers would not op-
ertboe eAcep1 when tucy Wefe opilSeu W,
and only in quantities that were compati-
BILE with their limited requirements. The
irregularity of the wheat market causes
them to delay their purchases.
Reports from the mills are that the out
put has been light. At Minneapolis a
great many of the mills have been idle
and the winter wheat mills have not yet
started in on active operations with new
wheat There is disposition to look en-
couragingly on the prospects.

It May do az Much for You.

Mr.. Fred Miller, of Irving. ILL.,, writes that
he had Severe Kidney trouble for many
years. with severe pains in his back and also
that his bladder was affected. He tried many
so-called Kidney cures but without any good
result. About year ago he began use of
Electric Bitters and found relief at once.
Electric Bitters is especially adapted to cure
of all Lidney and Liver troubles and often
gives almost instant relief. One trial will
prove our statement. Price only soc. for

The Wool Market,

The wool market continues to be active, with
q slight advance in prices The sales during
the past week Viii go on record as the largest
in the Boston market A large Part Of the sales,
however, have been among the dealers, and

prices obtained in the country. The dealers
they can purchase from their neighbors
cheaper than they can by bringing the woods
from the interior. The Australian woods are
in excellent demand and the prices have been
gradually worked up.

from ore cause and another the mem
tsrship Of the Knights Of Labor has
been greatly reduced
The coming convention is sure to Be
Q spirited one. Many questions are COM
ing up. the disposition Of which will
have much TO do with the future Of the
organization. Possibly nothing more
important will need to be considered
than the choice Of president. Last year
ut Denver John Mcbride, who for years
had been head Of the organized miners,
was chosen in place Of Samuel Gompers,
who was the first president Of the fed
Grafton as At present organized, and had
served continuously until that time.
The first convention Of the federation
was held in Pistsburg, in 1vember,
1851, when the title Of The leraticn
Of the Organized Trades and Labor Un-
ions Of the United States and Canada"
was taken. knights Of Labor assemblies
and trade unions were equally repre-
scented, and il was understood that both
forms Of organization should be pre-
served and that the two should work
hand in hand for the perfection Of unity
among labor organizations. About 260,
900 workers were represented, and since
that time conventions have been held
annually.
For awhile, however, the federation
did not increase rapidly in strength
This was no doubt in great measure due
to the booming growth Of the Knights
Of Labor. Since the Knights began TO
decline the federation has increased year
ly with great rapidity. The points Of
difference between the Knights and the
unions affiliated with the federation,
though not generally understood, are
many and radical All Of these need not
be entered into here, but one Of the most
striking lies in the fact that while the
general assembly Of the Knights is a
strictly secret meeting, the convention
Of the federation is open to spectators.
Another point is that while the chief
purpose Of the Knights is ostensibly the
revolution of economic conditions, that
of the federation's unions is the gradual
changing Of conditions along evolution
airy instead Of revolutionary lines, while
the immediate object Of the organiza
tion is the securing Of better wages,
shorter hours and other material advan-
tages for the working people. Between
the Knights and the federation decided
antagonism exists, and more than one
contest between workingmen and then
employers has resulted in disaster to the
men through this antagonism. No doubt
tbs bad feeling is much fostered by the
somewhat pronounced socialistic ten
deucies manifested Of late by the Knights
Of Labor which are not indorsed by ths
federation.
Another important point Of difference
IN addition 10 those named is this: TIT
Knights Of Labor iE highly centralized
organization. The various trade am
local assemblies Of the Knights ar, gen
orally supposed TO obey the orders OF TN
general executive board, issued througl
