COTTON TRADERS WILD.
New York Exchange Sees an Exciting
Session TODAY.

New York, Aug. 23-There was
great activity and excitement in the
cotton market here today. The ring
was in wild up-roar over the con-
fiicting bullish and bearish features
and the scenes on the floor resembled
those during the height of last win
ter's bull campaign. Prices bulged and
broke with alarming rapidity.

PACKERS PLAN TO EVADE
MANDATE OF THE MAYOR

the companies running without the ne
cesstty of putting excessive pressure
on the Chicago establishments
Fort Worth, Tex, was especially re-
lied on by two of the companies. The
plants in that city kill practically no
animals but cattle. They were and are
now run overtime, and they make up
any deficiency arising from the short
output of the Chicago plants.
New Men Work More Hours.
The volume Of output, the packers
say, Is not wholly dependent on the
number of men on the pay rolls. Last
year there We're many workers in the
employ of the companies who put in
little more than half time each week.
Now all the employees work full time.
The owners of the plants say that the
actual number of hours work a week
of the present force is not much less
than the number OF hours Of work a
week of the former larger crews.
Consumers of meat, especially in
Chicago have felt the effects of the
strike in the advanced prices charg-
ed. The dealers have raised their fig
ures in accordance with the credulity
Of their patrons the packers declare.
The marketmen. however, say they
have been forced to pay more for their
goods.
Price Of Meats.
The big packing companies, their
managers maintain, have not mate
rally raised prices since the begin
ming Of the strike. An advance was
made when the struggle was a few
days old. This it is asserted, has not
been continued. The sympathetic
strike of the teamsters cut the big
companies off from the trade and
threw it to the Independent concerns
The packers quote figures to prove
that these smaller companies have
taken advantage of their increased
trade and have charged greatly au
gumented prices.
While there has been much com
plant from the live stock producers
the statistics indicate that they have
suffered little in the stock yards mar
ket. Prices have remained fairly
steady. although there were some
days early in the struggle when large
receipts caused disastrous slumps. The
loss of the farmer has been chiefly al
home. He has been obliged to hold
back and feed his cattle, hogs ant
sheep already fattened for the mar
ket.

Chicago. Aug 23. - The packers
began active work today to put into
effect a scheme to house their nom
union employees in the old Hammond
plant in the event of their failure to
secure an injunction against the city
The packers assert that any interfer-
ence with trains carrying employees to
End from Hammond would constitute
a violation of the interstate commerce
law and would necessitate federal ac-
ton.
Union Pickets Perfect System.
The union pickets have now estab-
lished system Of espionage extend

College Athlete Assaulted.
Jackson Thompson member Of the
track team of the University of Chica-
go, who has been working for Morris
& Co.. in the shipping department,
during the vacation was last evening
assaulted and robbed while returning

were arrested,two Of whom we're iden-
titled by the student as his assailants.
The Sixth Week.
The labor struggle involving Chioa-
go's greatest industry-that centering
in the meat packing plants at the
stock yards-today enters on its sixth
week. The strike was called at II
o'clock Tuesday July IL. Since that
hour the proprietors have tried to op.
crate their establishments with new
workers and without the union crews
that had become familiar through long
practice with the tasks to be done.
a statistical comparison shows the
effects Of the strike The strikers have
lost, each week, $315.OO0 in wages
making total of $1,S90,000 thus sac
rifced. What the losses of the pack
ers have been is problematical. That
they have been immense is admitted
but no estimates have been furnished
by those in position to tell.
Effect on Live Stock Market.
The effect on the Chicago live stock
market has been great. During the
first weeks of the struggle the re
ceipts were SO small that the city be
came one of the smaller oenters in
stead of the chief market of the world
| The big packers who had bought the
most and the best consignments were
practically out Of the market. AS the
struggle dragged along, however, they
began to gather working forces large
enough to run their. plants on con
siderable scale.
A marked Improvement was notet
early in August. The following table
shows the live stock receipts durint
corresponding periods last year ant
this year:
Aug. to Aug. t,
%, 1904. %, 100;
Cattle. .. :. 1S7,646 201,35

Not all the cattle, sheep and hog
unloaded in the Chicago pens wer'

The strike was responsible for larg

Michaels was injured in race in Ger.
many as the result OF being thrown frcm
his wheel while following a motor mace
at terrific speed. He apparently recov-
cred. but for the last two years his
speed has not amounted to ANYTHING
and he has been morose and unreliable.
Recently an operation was performed.
ana it was found there was cIot of
blood on his brain. The removal of the
clot seemed TO bring back much of his
speed, and il was thought he would once
again be a star. until his death was an
uOunced IN New York this morning.
Michaels came To this country IN the
SIS, when motor paced cycling was
aoomirg and made a sensation. He was
known as the Welsh Midget" because,
of his nationality and small size, but
was marvel of speed.
He was one of the most expert of the
pace followers ever seen in this country.

ahead SO closely that il was a wonder
that ne was not killed. He had remark
able speed both i'm the sprints and in the
middle distance events.
He broke record after record, one Of
his most notable performances in the
early part of his career being the break
ing OF the hour record by doing 81 miles
$50 Yards i'm am hour. In 1886. AT New
Orleans, he lowered all the American
records from six 10 ten miles and from
that time continued lowering middle dis
