Plan to Stop Rate Cutting is
About Completed.
Retail Druggists and Manufac-
turers Get Together.
PRICE TO BE FIXED.
Those Who Go Below Can Buy
No More Goods.
The Scheme is Aimed at the
Department Stores.

Chicago. June 22.-The Chronicle
says: Out of negotiations now pending
between n embers of the National Re
tail Druggists association and manu-
facturers of patent medicines may
come an agreement which will result
in a death blow to the cut-rate drug
business.
Officers Of the Retail Druggists asso-
citation and manufacturer have held
several conferences in Chicago, New
York and Detroit lately and the terms
of the agreement between the two in
terests have been practically decided
upon It is expected that the formal
announcement of pact will be made
within q few days.
Under the terms manufacturers will
name a price at which their drugs are
to be sold. and in case any dealers
should sell below this stipulated sum
they agree to refuse to sell another bill
of goods to the firm breaking the
agreement. The practice of selling
goods to cutters indirectly through a
second party is also to cease.

Strike Of Reading Shopmen is Ex-
pected to Grow.


pected to Grow.
Reading, Pa, June 22.-The strike Of
employees OF the Reading railway shops,
which was begun yesterday noon, has
not spread to any other departments in
this city and they are working as usual
today.
Large numbers of people gathered
about the car and machine shops last
evening for the purpose of counting the
number of men who had not gone out
At the former place the crowd included
many who had quit work yesterday.
and at the latter some of the 1000 ma
chinists frankly told their friends that
they were going out in a day or two.
About $50 Of these are union men, but
the leaders say all the men but a few
1aborers viii go out when they are ask
ed and that the request will probably
be made on Monday. The molders, who
are 200 strong. went to work as usual
today. but the men said they were sim
ply waiting for the call from their na-
tional organization.
The number on strike in the COM
pany's shops now Is nearly 1000. Early
next week 1,5o0 men may go out in addi-
ton to $500 Reading Iron company
workers who went on strike several
weeks ago and are now locked out.

by lower cables and reports of excellent

WHEAT-The last session of the week
recorded the lowest price at which wheat
has sold for a long time Foreign cables
were all lower. that of Liverpool being 7sd
lower on top of their big decline of yes
terday. The weakness in Liverpool was
caused by Shows beariSh report and the
slump in Berlin, the latter being prinei-
pally due to the denials Of continental
crop damage reports. The weather is very
seasonable and bulls have lost about all
the courage they had left and a still fur
ther slump in values next week would not
be at all surprising. There was a full re-
covery near the close on profit taking by
early sellers. September sold between 661s
d67c, and closed at csc
CORN-COrn opened weak. along with
wheat. and pit traders sold early. the
commission houses buying, however, be-
came too great. and local shorts ran to
cover. Damage reports are nupnerous. In
many instances corn is said to be curling
badly because of the intense heat. Sep
tember sold between 4SzQ44Ac, and closed
at 44Szc-
PROVISIONS Provisions opened easy
at yesterdays final figures. but soon
gathered strength on lack of offerings and
shorts covering. Hog receipts are rather
limited and bring good prices at the
yards. September pork sold between $14-S
and $14.92, and closed at s14.92.

New York, June 22--The stock market
all the week has been unduly Influenced
by apprehension as to the monetary fur
ries between now and the completion of
the July settlements. The underlying SEN
timent in the strongest quarters of the
street. however, are bullish. If assurance
were given in one way OF another that no
serious monetary disturbance would take
place next week there is small doubt that
considerable new buying would be stim-
ulated. Little solicitude is now expressed
with regard to the foreign money market.
While money rates at this center have
not at all approached stringency, the low
surplus reserves of the New York city
banks have made many operators. reluct-
ant to buy on margin for fear that the
preparations for the semi-annual settle
ment might cause temporary but in
convenient scarcity of funds on call. For
this reason today's bank statement has
been looked forward to with decided in
ferest and the known movement of money
has been scanned carefully day by day.
The arguments advanced by the advo-
Gates and believers in higher prices. with
the exception, of course, Of monetary un-
certainty, have certainly presented good
substances.
