pulsion. The only danger OF SHUTDOWN
lies In the Gripping of few importaht
departments. which are well unlohlzeu.
The majority of the mill operatives are
said TO oppose a strike, but might be

unions

ENCOURAGING POINT.
The statement OF the mill agents that
the mills will shut down only when com
PEELED by the. Gripping of departments Is
encouraging for this reason. The Lowell
operatives are far from well organized
outside OF few unions: II Is stated tnat
only between 10 and Is per cent OF all the
mill hands are unionized. And IL is fur
ther claimed by many in position TO know
that the vast majority would be against a
strike, IL the matter were left TO the
whole body.
The result is that unless some OF the
more important unions are strong enough
10 tie up the business by striking and
crippling essential departments. the mills
could continue after fashion inden-
nitely.
Ii is quite possible that the more es-
sential processes Of manufacture could be
kept running even with the unionists out.
The doubtful element seems TO be the
loomflxers and beamers. In other words,
II seems to be felt now that even with
every union employe on strike there
might be a fair chance OF continuing the
operation of the mills: at any rate the
statement OF the agents indicates now
that this will be tried and that there
will be no voluntary shut down.
II depends on the power OF one or two
unionsto strike and cripple all the rest.
Most OF the departments could be main
tanned as usual. The statement created
a decidedly better feeling on the street,
although the indications are, as they
have been since Sunday, that strike
would very likely be ordered by the
unions

The Jobbing trade Is active and manu-
facturers are still taking orders. subject
in the case OF the Lowell mills TO a pos
siblity OF a strike. Jobbers consider that
the threatened shut down OF mills comes
at very inopportune time, although IL is
said Lowell manufacturers. from their
own standpoint, would not be averse to
closing their plants.
The report lacks verihcat ton, however,
although IL is understood that some mill
men take the position that the whole
wage question may as well be settled
this season. once and for ALL 80 that
trade need not again be disturbed as 1t
was TO some extent last spring and Is
the case at the present time.
The Jobbers are more alarmed than any
one else outside OF Lowell. Those that
have sold heavily and are experiencing
great difficulty to procure the goods
promised. the threatened strike appears
as almost n calamity. They express no
doubt that it will interfere seriously
with trade. owing TO the uneven condi-
tion Of stocks.
strike Is expected. indeed II has
been expected for three weeks by the
goods trade here. OF late the develop
ments at Lowell have led to an increased
activity on the part OF agents here To
them In examining their stocks.
IL is feared that the efforts which may
be used to arbitrate the Lowell issue will
not be OF much avail as neither side has
openly expressed an opinion that there
Is much 10 arbitrate.
The suggestion which has been made
that the Massachusetts legislature ap-
point a committee 10 investigate the
whole mill situation in Lowell, is not
taken seriously here, for 1t is not clear
what authority the legislature would
have to investigate anything outside the
hours OF labor and hygienic conditions.
1t is true that the mills are operated
under the Massachusetts charters, but no
question OF evadlng the conditions under
which they were granted or any violating
the laws OF the commonwealth enters
into the wage controversy.
Buyers OF yarn in the market are not
ordering to any extent for future de-
livery. The demand for immediate de-
livery is strong. but there Is much fif1-
Guilty In procuring all the yarn desired.
1t is thought that a strike In the yarn
mills would have far reaching effect in
the trade.

Chicago. June 27-Extreme weakness

off and oats down fs7sz4, while provis-
ions were from Is to Coo lower.
Light showers in portions of the spring

among traders that the drought in the

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. June 27.-Todays stock mar
ket was narrow and insignificant as for
several days past. Professional traders
put up prices slightly on the score of the
addition Of S2.S24275 to the surplus Of the
banks. which is practicalyly satisfactory
in view Of the approach of the July l
settlements. The Pennsylvania stock
subscription seems to have figured both
in the loan and cash items Of the bank
statement. The increase in cash of
81 500 400 is between four and five millions
larger than was estimated. Some large
receipts from Philadelphia in connection
with the Pennsylvania subscriptions help
ed to this result and the weeks averages
probably had the advantage also Of some
