STRIKE IS SPREADING
ICE MEN PROHIBITED FROM SERV-
ING MERCHANTS.
Ban Placed Upon Those Dealers Who
Have Been Hauling Meats from
Packing Plants in Their
Own Wagons.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-The threatened
spread of the stock yard strike To out
side industries came tonight when an
order was issued by the teamsters'
union prohibiting drivers of Ice wag-
ons from making any deliveries to re-
tail merchants who. since the packing
house teamsters went on strike. have
been hauling meat from the yards In
their own wagons. As the refrigera-
tors in the meat markets do not hold
enough ice to last longer than forty
eight hours. and If the order cutting
off the supply of ice can be enforced,
1t means that the majority of people in
Chicago will be compelled to go on
short rations as far as meat is con-
cerned.
The officials Of the transfers union
have appointed pickets to watch the
meat markets all over the city, and
these men have been instructed to see
that the boycott is carried out to the
limit.
Outside Of the decision Of the strik-
ing unions to extend the strike to the
ice men there was little change over
yesterday in the situation at the stock
yards today.
With their new employees and those
who have deserted the unions the pack
ers managed to dispose of fully so per
cent as mucn Work as Is carried on
under normal conditions
In the riot which broke out at the
stock yards tonight two policemen
were injured and twenty eight rio
tiers were arrested after having been
beaten into subjugation. The trouble
started when five strike breakers from
one of the machie shops in one of the
packing plants were leaving the Yards
and tried to board a street car to go
to their homes.
The policemen who were guarding
the entrance went to the assistance
of the non-union men but the rioters
by this time has grown in numbers
so rapidly that fully a thousand angry
men were trying to get at the strike
breakers The crowd was armed with
bricks and stones and when the police
men assisted by reinforcements start
ed forward every man who could find
room enough threw a brick.
1.-TWO bricks struck two policemen
who dropped in their tracks. 1t was
found that one of the men. Patrick
Ryan was suffering from a fractured
skull The other policeman was not
so seriously hurt
The police made another charge and
fully fifty of the rioters were beaten
to the pavement by the use of clubs
before they showed any signs of scat
tering. They then turned their at
tention to those who were lying on the
ground and succeeded in arresting

Cover Private Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, August 3.-The cotton mar
ket opened quiet and lower in response TO
lower cables from abroad favorable wealth
er in the cotton belt and the expectation of
a favorable monthly Government report at
noon. Traders awaited the report with much
anxiety and were ndisposed to take any
definite stand pending the publication of
the same. Wall Street sold heavily at the
opening. and It looks IL those who had
been hulling the market during the past
week were unloading through other brokers
The bullish views expressed by prominent
operator. stating that spinners should take
advantage of present prices to purchase cot
ton irrespective OF what the Government re-
port may show. was ignored in the trading
The Government report made its appearance
at IL o'clock and was more bearish than
expected 1t made the condition 81 G.
against So last month and 1871 last year
Following the report the market broke from
TO IL points on heavy selling OF the new
crop months for long account. The report
was more favorable than had been expected
as condition of 80 was what the trade
looked for While the present conditions
were favorable to the crop, they must re-
main perfect to insure the bumper crop pre-
dicted and as this is the trying period any
uhthvorable weather would bring enormous
damage TO the plant We are Inclined TO
favor the long side of the cotton for the
present.

strength In wheat here today. At the close
the September option was up nc. Corn is
off 1%c. Oats are down y a &C. and pro-
visions are sc up.
A feeling of hesitancy was manifested in
the wheat pit when trading began. With
nearly every large commission house advis-
Ing customers to look out for. a break the
market opened here about where IL left off
yesterday, September being v a NC lower to
a shade higher at 94G94k. The long series
of advances of the past two weeks were
viewed by many traders as having reached
the zenith. The feeling In the pit was for
the first few minutes somewhat unsettled.
Foreign markets. however, were extremely
strong. Advices from the Northwest werol
a repetition OF the bullish news received
from that section during the past week.
Before the end Of the first half hour these
hull influences had started active gen.
eral demand for wheat that resulted in a
quick advance September selling up to
95&. The strength of the cash market here
as well as In all outside markets had con-
siderable Influence At time No. 1
Northern sold here at 90. Toward the
middle Of the session sentiment veered to
the bear side and the market sub
5ected to heavy liquidation, resulting In a
quick decline. The cause of this selling
pressure was statement by local crop
statistician that the reports OF damage by
rust In the Northwest we're largely exag-
gerated., September, broke to 93% on ac-
tive covering by shorts, much Of the loss

with September at 94% @94%. Clearances
of wheat and flour were equal to 10000
bushels Primary receipts were S48.500
bushels compared with 6s7, 300 bushels a
year ago Minneapolis. Duluth and Chi
cago reported receipts of 17S cars, against
219 last week.
Heavy liquidation of September by an in
fluential commission house caused weak
ness in corn. The decline was somewhat
remarkable in view of the strength of wheat
and an advance at Liverpool. Weather con-
ditions were favorable, but receipts were
small The market closed weak with prices
near the 10 wpoint. September opened " %

Provisions were firm during the early
part of the session on buying by local

an easier feeling Higher prices at the
yards were responsible for the improved
tone at the start. The market closed easier

This Year.

NEW YORK. August 3.-Speculative ac-
tivity In stocks continued light today out
such interest there was shifted IN
pronounced way to stocks of railroads whose
traffic is largely made up of cotton. This
was surprising in view Of the character OF
the report of the Agricultural Department IN
which made its appearance at noon today
ana which presented a situation without
precedent in the history OF the cotton trade
the average condition of 81 6 per cent mas
never been exceeded except at the corre-
spending period in 1900. when 9lS per
cent was reported. Added to this the fact
that the $4,000. 900 acres planted this year
Is much the greatest on record and the SEN
sational view Of the report taken by the
speculative markets will be understood. In
the cotton market itself there was some
very determined support by free buying of
the large offerings. 1t was considered also
mat a large short interest was disposed to
cover on the publication Of the report In
the belief that the heaviest selling would
be induced by Its first effect.
Bonds OF Southern Railway COMPANY

on account Of the cotton situation. Atten-
ton was somewhat diverted from the spring
wheat situation and the wheat market also
revealed some inclinat'on to regard yester-
days alarm on that score overdone. The

IN spite of the sympathetic effect of the
advance in cotton carriers. Southern Pa
cities rise was the only instance NJ notable

signed to further the demand for the new

NEW ORLEANS, August 3-Consider lng
the events of the day. the decline in the
price of cotton was quite moderate. Early
transactions in Liverpool observed about
the correct differences@ as compared with
the closing Of Yesterdays American markets
Later trades were made at small recessions,
new crop options finally closing at a net
loss Of English points. spots losing II
points on sales of 10000 bales.
Our market opened slightly lower and
promptly recorded further losses in values
as a result of free selling emanating for
n considerable part from New York. After
the absorption of these offerings a reaction
to about the opening levels was observed.
The average condition figures of the bureau
report, 81 6, were startling and a little high
er than the opinions of the most optimistic
operators. Louisiana, Mississippi and Ar
kansas Appearing in eKGess of the average
although generally supposed to have sur
fered from the results of excessive rains
created some interest. The course of the
market after receipt of the bureau did not
reflect the general surprise caused by the
average figures and 1t might have been
inferred that they nearly approached the
consensus of opinions. Sufficient support
was furnished by the recent shorts taking
profits 20 hold prices above the low figures

in the face of such excellent crop condi-

fluctuations will be confined to moderate
