LIVERPOOL CLOSED STEADY

New York. June 5-The cotton market opened firm and to points higher, and during the first hour held very steady on fairly active demand from shorts, European interts sts and tho south. promoted by nrmer Liverpool cables, re- ports of damage to the crop in the cen tral belt by loeusts and lice and claims that rain was needed in part of Texas. But as active public support did not come forward, the room longs quietly sold for profits, leaving tho market without con- certed support from any quarter. Liver pool closed steady at about the top a net advance of to points. and reported lal ge spot sales, 12,00C bales. at full for mer prices. Port and interior receipts were small. advices from southern spot markets indicating a moderate demand from domestic spinners and further in- quiry from exporters for prompt ship mtnt of cot ton. By midday the opening advance had been lost and near positions were a point CT two under the final bids Of last night. For the balance of the ses- sion the market followed very narrow rut with speculative enthusiasm at a LOW ODD.
 The cloee was quiet, with prices net ' points lower to points higher, the near months showing an easier position in the absence of business.
 Inc weather map indicated little or no rain in the belt, but the forecast pointed to showers over the eastern and western sections tomorrow.

Murnbv "a Go. Cotton Letter.

New York June 5.-The weather map today WIS as perfect as could be imag- intd for those who care to have fine crcp. With tho exception of light rains at Savannah and Charleston the entire belt was enjoying fine weather. with temperature raT ging from 70 to 80. There wss little buying iE the early local mar ket but the trade was taking a hope full view of the situation. while all agreed that the crop is doing spleud.dly. It was borne in mind that We are still quit 9 distant from the critical period, and in view of good decline In progf ess for some tirne 1t is not regarded as wise to op- crate on the si.crt pide, considering wide differences bstw eer summer and fall op- ticns. Apart from local sentiment no lit- tie will depend er the course of Liverpool market. There the stocks gre 25000O more the n last year. and much hinges on the absorption or non-absorption of this ex- oets. Moreover prices arc sc far above isst year that this fact may stand in the way of much improvement in prices until the proba ble siae Of rexr years crop is known. Because of the strong spot situ- aticn. selling of oIi crop months Is re- garded az risky.
 Wall street sold some today, but there was little Liverpool buying Port re- ceipts 5000 vs. coco last year.

Henderson said the company sent

Temple and Galveston to take the
places made vacant by the machin-
lists, boilermakers, blacksmiths and
roundhouse men, and that the de-
mands of the strikers would not DO

THE STRIKE SETTLED
Freight Handlers and Teamsters
Returned to Work Yesterday.
UNQUALIFIED VICTORY FOR ROADS.
The strike Cost the Business Men olO,.
100000 and They Are Preparing to In.
sugursts IN Educational Campaign
Against Sympe thetic Strikes.

Chicago, July 17.-After ten dayl
of strife the Chicago freight han
dlers' strike terminated yesterday in
an unqualified victory for the rail-
roads. A meeting of the strikers,
presided over by President Curran,
resulted in an almost unanimous
vote to return to work, leaving the
wage scale and other questions for
settlement between the men and
their respective roads. At the con-
clusion Of the meeting the strikers
went by hundreds to the warehouses
to apply for their old positions, and
the Transfers who have remained out
in sympathy again took up their
reins.
Renewed activity on the part Of
Chicago business men followed the
settlement of the strike and at the
close of business hours last night
thousands of tons Of freight had
been sent to and from the various
freight depots. Every one of the
$4,000 strikers who could obtain en-
ployment had returned to work by
two o'clock in the afternoon.
The strike, it is estimated, cost
the business men Of Chicago $lO,OOO,-
900, and in order to guard against
such a contingency in the future
they are preparing to inaugurate an
educational campaign in opposition
to the sympathetic strike. The la
Dor unions will be asked to forego
the use of this potent weapon. The
business interests which suffered
through the strike will join in pledg-
ing themselves, 1t is said, not to
sign union agreements which do not
guard them against these strikes.
On the other hand, the labor unions
are fighting to secure the right to
abrogate agreements for the pur-
pose of ordering sympathetic strikes.
The freight handlers blame the
national officers of the Transfers
for the loss Of the strike. They de-
clare that the strike shows the neces-
sity for Incorporating in all agree
ments a reservation which will per-
NIT strikes.
Credit for the settlement rests
with the state board of arbitration.
1t was the adoption OF the sugges-
ton of that board which led to the
action of the freight handlers union
in declaring the struggle with the
railroads at an end. At the same
time, il is probable that even had the
state board not made its sugges-
tons, the fight would have been
practically over to-day, as the major
ity of the freight handlers had re-
turned to their work before the
mass meeting at which the strike
was called off officially had convened.
1t was knowledge Of this fact that
had much to do with the action
taken by the union. However, the
proposition made by the state board
of arbitration enabled the freight
handlers to retire gracefully from
the field.
