AS SEEN BY FRENCH EYES
SENATOR sIEGFRIED TALKS OF
AMERICAN EXPANSION
Traveller Much Inn
pressed by Growth of Industry
and Commerce in the
United States

PARIS, July Ex-senator Jules Sieg-
fried, the former minister of commerce,
has arrived here from his American tour
In an interview today, M. S.egfried paid
a glowing tribute to the immense COM
mercial and Industrial expansion of the
United States, which, he said, will be
further increased by the system of COM
binations. Nevertheless, he added, the
people of Europe must not allow them
selves to be too easily dazzled or fright
ened He pointed to tone of leading
trusts as an example of capital inflated
to twice or treble the cost of the ANAL
gamated establishments, and he ques-
toned whether furtheri dividends can be
paid on such inflated capital
The senator believes French workmen
can easily find work IN America, pro-
vlded they know trade and speak Eng
lish. Otherwise 1t will be useless for
them to emigrate.
France, continued tbeSsenator, has ey-
cry reason to maintain good relations
with the United States and the best
means of so doing Is to carry through
the commercial convention. He urged
France to accord thef United States the
minimum tariff, which will secure her
reductions of duties on all superior
French products.
Americans" the senator sad, have
changed in recent years. The idea of
treaties of commerce is now daily gain
ing ground. 1 met with considerable
sympathy in favor of more liberal eco
nomic policy. France must take into
consideration the amour propre of the
United States, which she had;p pNeilooked
at the time of the Hispano-American
war"
Senator siegfried also referred to the
nj hn hoH
reception in Canada. He dwelt on the
growing French influence, thanks largely
to Sir Wilfrid Laurier's premiership, and
predicted for Canada a grand Industrial
future. The senator said he found
Canada becoming more and more a field
of action for Americans, who were beat
ing the British In Their own colony.

| CINCINNATI, July 12-The machin-

20 and involved from 5,000 to 1900 en-
ployes, practically has been declared off.
A secret mass meeting of strikers was
held today at which a. formal report was
made that it had been found impossible
to procure assistance in money from the
headquarters in Washington. AS the
strike benefit fund is exhausted, the
strikers were advised to return to work
Already about 600 have applied for re-
instatement and many more will do SO
tomorrow and Monday.
No official statement has been made
by the leaders of the strikers and they
all refuse to be quoted, saying they do
not care to do anything which might af-
feet the injunction proceedings against
them, set for hearing July Is. 1t was
sGid, however, that the strikers failing
to receive funds from Washington sent
an agent to Washington to secure
money. His report was presented to the
meeting today and it was upon this that
the action which virtually ends the
strike was taken. 1t is said, however,
that the decision to return to work was
not unanimous and that some men will
still hold out.
The Bradford Machine and Tool COM
pany the Cincinnati Planer company
and the r. K. Lebon Machine company
filed suits against the strikers. The
documents are copies of those filed in
the United States court, and the names
of the same defendants appear: Har-

and Paxton & Warrington are counsel
for the plaintiffs.

tically all the men will resume Monday

BALTIMORE, July 12-About 200 ma
chinists decided today to give up the

to apply for reinstatement in the shops

day on the old terms. This brings the

city.
About 1900 men employed in various

FIGHT TO A FINISH.
WASHINGTON, July 12.-At the head
quarters of the International Associa-
tlon of Machinlsts here, President
O'Connell admitted that the collapse of
the strike at Cincinnati was likely to
have considerable effect on the general
strike, as Cincinnati has been regarded
as the center of the fighting, but re-
iterated that there is no intention to
call Off the general strike and declared
that the order would fight it out to the
end. ~. q

OF DROUGHT
AT NEW YORK AND
CHICAGO
BEARS ARE HUNTING COVER
Unless Rain Comes Soon in the
Southwest, There Is No Tell
Ing Where Prices
Will Go To.

NEW YORK, July 12.-There was a
scene of great excitement in both the
wheat and corn markets at New York
today, trade aggregating one Of the
largest days totals in a year or more
especially as to corn. Prices jumped l5sc
during the day, in corn making 61a ad-
vance for the week. Orders poured in
to the markets so fast brokers could
scarcely execute them at the prices de.
sired, and the usually small crowd around
the corn ring was increased to such an
extent that at times it almost rivaled
that In the wheat pit. The farmers
have taken the bull side into Their heals
and in face of heavy realizing on the
part of professionals have kept prices
going until the cry is for 60c corn in
Chicago. Already prices are so high in
the Southwest that farmers are feeding
their stock with wheat, and unless rain
comes very soon many fear only half
the corn crop will be gathered where
only a month ago it locked as If one of
the largest yields on record would he
harvested Where the present bull
movement will end depends a great Geal
upon weather conditions in the leading
corn states. Wheat also took an eX-
traordinary jump today and from being
in position almost entirely fr.endless
at once leaped into popularity with the
bulls and gave corn a close race for
leadership in the matter of advance for
the day. Prices at New York closed
21aQ25sc higher than the previous night
and practically at top point. Profess
sionals were caught on this bulge in
wheat and some Of them lost about al
the money they have made through SELL
ing out long corn to the bull public.
For weeks and months wheat has been
persistently hammered about from pill
lar to post by everybody, on the ldea
that the crop would be a record one
and more than enough to make up the
foreign shortage. The result has been a
huge short interest, many shorts being
caught in yesterdays big advance. The
remainder is in state Of anxiety as to
what the outcome will be, realizing that
a much greater upturn must mean the
covering of a big line Of wheat. The
feeding of wheat to live stock in the
Southwest has also become an important
consideration and today bulls were still
further encouraged by reports that
wheat in the Red river valley was be-
ing injured by excessive heat after re-
cent hot weather.
ADVANCED AT CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, July 12-The scorching
have received, together with the disas-
trous possibilities of further drought; was
reflected in exciting advances in the
leading cereals on the Board of Trade
today. September corn sold at 54Ss cen s,
cents higher than yesterdays close.
September wheat at 6S%c, 314c higher,
and September oats at SO cents, q of a
