About the worst that can develop in
the corn crop situation is already known.
Undoubtedly much harm has resulted to
business interests which will be felt
through the remainder of the year, but
the extravaganza estimates that first Gre
ated alarm will not be borne out. From
this time on the situation in all proba-
bility will improve.
SO far the net damage TO BUSINESS
from the crop trouble has amounted to
little, but it is too early to say what the
ultimate result will show. 1t will be dis
appointing il the damage is not much
less than most judges anticipate. When
the wheat scare in the Northwest upset
the stock market last year dire predic-
tons were made, which subsequent
events did not fulfill. The Northern Pa
cifc Road, which was largely dependent
on crops for its traffic, made up on manu-
featuring articles then what 1t lost in
agricultural produce, and the same intiu-
ence will count in the Southwest this
fall. Railroad companies show greater
diversity of traffic continually, and IN
freedom from dependence on one indus
try lies their salvation.
The hesitation incident to the crop
scare upon its first appearance is dis
appearing. Merchants who did not like
to commit themselves pending settle
ment of the question as to how greatly
the purchasing power of the farming
communities would be reduced have over
come their reluctance aud are placing
orders more freely. Better trade Is re-
ported, and, while dizziness is looked for
during August, business maintains sat
isfactory volume.
Developments in the steel strike dur
ing the week favored first one side and
then the other. The matter has not yet
reached a point where its end can be
seen. Prices of materials have been adj
vanced particularly tinplates, which
have risen sharply. Production has been
affected to some extent, but the mills OF
the steel corporation are so many in
number that the strike would have to be
much more general before they could be
tied up completely. Thus far a little
over one-third Of the output of that cor
poration has been cut off. Companies
outside the trust have secured a good
deal of business on account of the un-
settled condition of its affairs Chicago
concerns have profted largely in this
way.
Stocks are holding at firm level. The
public is in the market to a larger ex-
tent than for some time, but still shows
small interest. The important men in
Well street own the stocks. Sentiment
is, perhaps, more favorable to a bull
movement again this fall, but there is a
manifest indisposition to buy stocks ut
the present prices on account of the feel
ing that business is more likely to decline
soon. than to increase over its present
enormous volume. True to its character,
Wall street will discount the period OF
conservatism as it did that Of prosperity
The tendency of the money market was
little frmer, and rates are quoted at
AZ to per cent.

Fatal Accident Euds Strike.

Death the price of peace" would be a
fitting epitaph to place over the grave Of
William Is. Pine, a former resident Of
Kenosha. Mr.. Pine was killed while as
sisting his employers in keeping their fac
tory in operation during a strike. He was
superintendent of the Bernstein brass
bed works of Philadelphia, and when the
men went out Mr.. Pine in order to fill
some urgent orders took place in the
factory. While at work one of the
heavy scrolls dropped from the forms
and struck him on the head, killing him
instantly. Mr.. Pine was so popular with
the men that when they heard of his sad
death they at once made overtures to
the management and returned to work
two days afterward.

REFUSE TO our WORK.
South Chicago Steel Men Are Read
Ont of Union.

There will be no strike of the steel
workers of South Chicago. The reason
is that there are no union men to strike.
both local lodges of the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION having been read out OF the
organize ton by Secretary Michael Il.
Tighe, personal representative of Presi-
dent 'Shaffer, after their refusal to re-
consider their action in refusing to obey
the general strike order.
Sentiment in South Chicago is divided
over the situation. Business men and
the families of the steel workers approve
the action taken, while another element
regard the steel workers as having aban-
doned their organization in an hour of
need. Many profess to believe that at
the next convention of the Amalgamated
Association the lodges will be reinstated
and that President Shaffer and Secre'
tary Tighe exceeded their authority in
revoking the charters.
Others feel that there is positively no
chance of reinstatement, because of the
sentiment entertained by the Eastern
workers 1t has been suggested that the
situation may lead to the organization
of an independent Western association
along the lines of the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION. The latter has never been
strong in the West, and it is said would
not be affected by the operation of such
a plan.
The Iron Trade Review, discussing the
strike condition, says: Events of the
week have made it clear that the steel
strike is q lost fight. The uncertain ele-
ments are the number of weeks that will
be required to weary the men of idleness,
and how much of its organization will
remain to the Amalgamated Association
when the end comes. The failure of the
Federation of Labor to give more than
sympathy in aid of the strikers and the
refusal of the Western members of the
Amalgamated Association to violate their
contracts at the order Of their president
have been serious blows to the hopes Of
the leaders. Gains have been made by
the strikers at McKcesport and in the
Wheeling district but it is already plain
that the strike spirit has reached high
mark and that the news from now on
will be of gradual defections."
