A Pathetic Scene.

NEW YORK, August 2O.-A special
to the Sun from Buffalo says: Crowds
gather hourly around a piece of statu-
airy in the court in front of the art gal
lery, which is entitled lei Caney." To-
day there was a pathetic little scene
there. Mrs. Helen NJ. Packard of
Springfield, Mass, read the inscription
and tainted. She was carried into the
art building and revived. 1t seems that
the soldiers in this scene were her sons,
who volunteered with the Second Mas
sachusetts Infantry. The statuary was
modelled on the magazine description
by Richard Harding Davis, relating
how he came on soldier of the Second
Massachusetts standing beside a dying
comrade. who proved to be his brother.
Arthur Packard was the dead soldier.
Walter Packard the survivor, was
broken in health in the campaign, and
is now in Oregon. His mother was on
her way to Oregon to take up her home
with him.

The most critical news from the Main
land, in the files which arrived by the
Sonoma is that the strikes continue, al
though that there has been no violence
is an encouraging sign, when it is taken
into consideration that there have been
labor troubles all summer and that
the violent stage usually comes after
the first month of a lockout. The eff
feet upon the trade of the Pacific Coast
metropolis will be far-reaching if the
shutdown of free shipments long con-
tinues. At this time, when the other
ports of the Coast are reaching out
for the trade which by right belongs to
San Francisco, such blow at the in
terest of the port Is to be regretted
Taking into consideration also that 1t
is estimated that one-half of the cans
ming fruit crop has been lost, there
promises to be added to a year Of
drought the loss of most of the fruits
so carefully grown. Honolulu will feel
the effects of this strike more and more
though the drawing of supplies from
the Sound country will relieve the
pressure for immediate needs. Build
ing must languish, for already there
are many new structures tied UP be-
cause of the on-shipn ent of supplies.
The vessels which are now there would
relieve all needs if they could be loaded
and manned.

The fact that the bark Olympic, which
has in it's cargo flour and other staples,
got away when expected, and is now
eleven days out from San Francisco,
will relieve the minds of many dealers
who have daily watched their supplies
of the necessaries of life grow beautl-
fully less. There is not even now,
famine, but the shortage of flour Is not
pleasant to contemplate. One effect OF
the present troubles will be to encour-
age lines of transportation from other
Coast points than San Francisco. The
fact is that the Albert, now at the
Sound for cargo, which will relieve
any further shortage of stocks, Will
open new lines, and promises to be a
forerunner of new connections Whlcn
will be kept open To- spreyent any repe-
tition Of the present experiences.

STATE. OF THE
STEEL STRIKE

PITTSBURG, Aug. 21.-While disclaim-
ing any intention to sue for peace with
the United States Steel Corporation,
President Shaffer believes the end, of the
strike is not. far off: !, Today he said:
"It won't be very long until we have
honorable peace. We are slowly getting
what we started. out to fight for, Just
at present both sides are in the heat OF
battle and there can be no. talk Of truce;
but 1t will come in a short while. I
think s.sS 22i ssS sSst'ECa,ssS sss;,s
Skaters statement is interpreted to
mean that when the Lindsay g. Nc
Cutcheon mill in, Allegheny. owned by
the hoop combine, is started in fun nom
union. the contention of the strikers will
have fallen fiat and they will be ready
to accept the combines proposition.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22ee-zThe Iron Age
says: The strike situation has been
complicated during the past week by the
desertiou. of the Joliet and milwaukee,
men which cuts off a monthly production
of 10000 tons of merchant bars at Mill
,waukee and. 900 tons Of steel products
at Joliet. Through the closing down of
the Joliet srod mills the wire trade Is
for the, first time affected at least local
iy. To, both these steel plants must be
added three of the steel works of the
National Steel Company, the Bellaire
Mingo Junction and Newcastle, and the
Riverside and McKeesport Steel plants
Of the National Tube Company some OF
the blast furnaces have already been
banked or blown out and others are like
iy to follow.
Consumers are seriously embarrassed
in the lines affected. notably In tin plate
sheets, bars and tubes and larger pre-
miums are being paid for prompt deliy-
cry. Since the South Chicago men re-
main loyal the steel rail- trade Is unaffect-
ed. The same Is true of plates and
shapes. ana, with the exception of
Joliet of wire Also
The loss in revenue which the United
States Steel Corporation suffer through
the closing of some of their most prof
liable branches must be serious and a
considerable part of the business is gone
past recovery. On the other hand IT will
take many months to catch UP with de-
iveries and thus the mills when once
started again, will be busy far into the
winter period when work is usually rath-
er scarce. IS
1t is probable therefore that natural
causes will tend toward a maintenance
of values in the finished products In
which the steel corporation has com
handing voice.

An immense meteor Tell Aug. II, almost
due west of Phoenix, coming down, it is
believed, somewhere in Harqua Hala
desert. Before reaching the earth the
mass exploded, scattering in a fine ,pyro-
technical display, lighting up the entire
western horizon. The temperature, there
immediately dropped to the lowest point
since May, and the local astronomical
observer attributes the change to the
meteor's action.

Murphy 6 co.'c Cotton Letter.

New York, May 1.--Liverpool was weak on the opening being two to four points lower This caused a slight decline here, but this was offset by indications of port receipts falling off to less than half those of yesterday, or 10000 bales, against 5000 bales last year, close observers believe the heavy receipts which have been con fined mainly to Texas and which have proved such an obstacle to a higher mar ket may soon dwindle to such small pro- portions as to leave the bulls in com plete control of the market. The least sign of a collapse Is sure to be followed by a scampering of shorts who are quite numerous There was not much business this morning, but the trend appeared to savor the long side in 8 small way. Tex as parties who arrived here today were anything but enthusiastic on their views as to the crop prospects so far in their State. Liverpool reported spot cotton there 1-16d lower; futures one to two points. New York rallied after the open ing and sellers withdrew. Texas needs rain in many localities and this strength ems the position. Tn Liverpool the market today on spot cotton declined to 17-S2d as against 5 15-32d on the same date last year.

lon the break, which coupled with lighter port receipts and finally with rather light estimates for Houston for tomorrow turned the market. It Is possible the lighter receipts will bring higher cables tomorrow and consequently an advance here There was also some buying on probability. There was also some buying of July and August for foreigners, ex- porters and others who no doubt believe purchases of July at under cents and August at 30 points discount under July, as reasonably certain to show d profit with but little risk of loss.
 We believe both are advisable and ex- pect to see all of the old crop months finally go out above the cent level
 In other words spot cotton is, and will be worth as much or more regardless of what the outlook for the new crop may be.
 Total receipts at all points today only 9171 bales vs. 1S24 and 5000 the same day a week and year ago. At New Orleans 5000 to 4000 bales are expected vs. 4673 and 222. At Houston only 1400 to 1500 bales are expected vs. 2116 and 223.
 We believe 1t well to guard against pos abilities and use caution on the short side

COTTON MARKET
 SCORED ADVANCE.
 - Prices Were Governed Strictly by Orders Received THE BEARS WORKED HARD Market Refused to Fall Under Their Attacks and Buying Orders for July and August Caused a
 Scare of Shorts.

New York, May 1.-Cotton was neg lected today. Prices were governed more by orders as received than by the custom ary influences and operations by the pit element were in the nature of evening up old commitments. The influences at work at the opening were emphatically bearish but the market refused to fully respond as July and August buying or ders appeared from strong houses and led to scare of shorts.
 The opening was easy with prices down 1 to points, this being better by 5 to points than expected. Liverpool cables were disappointing, receipts were full, the weather. south was described as ideal for cotton raising, and Fall River conditions showed no improvement. Europe was a small seller on the call but soon turned and bought the summer months when 1t became evident that our market was not following the weakness abroad
 A sharp rally occurred in Liverpool in sympathy with the steadiness here. To- ward midday prominent export and grain interests became identified with the buy ing movement and absorbed all offerings of the summer months around last night s  closing bids.
 Estimates for light receipts at Houston tomorrow sent prices up still higher soon after midday. For the rest of the session the market displayed a steady undertone and prices held well up from the open ing basis on covering and fair buying for the combination above referred to. There was little business done in the new crop position. The market was finally dull but steady with prices net unchanged to 3 points higher.
