A TRUCE AT FRISCO.
Strikers Give Mayor a Chance
to Adjust Matters.

San Francisco. Cal, Aug. 3.-The
efforts of Mayor Phelan to effect an
amicable settlement of the labor
troubles in this city have not yet been
productive of any definite result. At
the mayors request the City Front
federation has agreed to let the exist
ing conditions remain unchanged for a
short time, to give him time to secure a
final statement of terms of compromise
from the employers association. It is
generally asserted by labor leaders that
if an agreement is not reached by to-
night or an exceedingly good reason
given for a continuance of the truce,
negotiations will be broken off and
other unions win be called out. The
labor council has given its executive
council power to call out whatever
unions it may deem necessary If the
strike is not ended by tonight The
council has also manifested q disposi-
ton to inaugurate war of retaliation
against employers who persist in an at
titude of hostility toward unions
In accordance with the recon menda-
tions of the typographical union. the
president of the council has been au-
thorized to appoint a committee to as
certain the names of the members of
the employers association, and to In

MUCH CORN SAVED.
Feeling in Corn Circles BETTER
Than It Was Last Week.

New York, Aug. 3.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Review Of Trade says:
Continued favorable weather condf-
tions have resulted in the saving of
much late planted corn and IN the
northwest ideal weather for spring
wheat harvest has been enjoyed. As
this is the point at which business in
all parts of the country has been most
carefully watched, the general feeling
IS better than a week ago. The diSpo-
sition on both sides to settle the steel
strike has not yet resulted in any
agreement and the labor situation is
thus kept prominent.
Official returns of pig iron production
in the first half of the year show a
record breaking aggregate of 1874, 713
tons, exceeding the remarkable output
OF the previous year by 81, ,044 TONS The
second half Of 1901 has opened with a
much greater capacity Of active fur
naces and the full year promises a
considerably larger total than the 49,
7S9242 tons produced in 1900.
During the past week leading mills
have placed large contracts for early
delivery and enquiries for all forms of
finished steel are abundant There is
less disposition to pay fancy prices for
strike, which is an evidence of the gem
eral belief in early resumption of work
An unfavora Bile showing for the first
half year in both exports and output of
copper resulted in the first alteration in
nominal prices since the advance of IT
cents eight months ago.
Violent fluctuations have marked the
course of corn prices. The top point Of
the previous week was not regained
but traders on the short side of the
market were compelled to cover at a.
loss. The decrease in marketing is not
in proportion to the advance in price.
Whatever benefit may have accrued
from the high level of prices it cer-
tainly has driven foreign buyers out of
the market Atlantic exports for the
week amount to only 76417 bushels,
4.003. .497 two years ago, at a difference
in price of Is and 25 cents respectively.
Wheat is off in interest to spectators
but in trading it is especially active,
western receipts for the week reaching
6,508,31 bushels, against 5020,7 761 last
year, and 4,734, 1853 two years ago, while
Atlantic exports were 4,S15, 1886 bushels,
against 2, 2,3se,7S9 in 1900, and 3,765, ,7s7 in
1899.
Dealers in some drouth stricken dis
tricts have countern anded orders for
footwear, and these cancellations are
felt mainly by western makers, but as
a whole the industry is in a healthy po-
sition Leather is quiet, the factories
buying lightly owing to the large sup
plies taken recently Liberal arrivals
in hides tend to depress values.
Wool has at last risen slightly above
the lowest point in four years. The

It is unanimously agreed that shows
