GRAIN.

Chicago. Aug. 1.-Reports of damage to spring wheat by rust formed de- cided incentive for a strong wheat mar ket here today. At the close wheat showed a gain of 1sG1Rc.
 At the opening an easier feeling was manifested in the wheat pit as result of favorable weather and increased re- ceipts, there being selling by pit trad CTS. Initial quotations on September wheat were unchanged to 1Sc higher, at 0KU%c, and during the next ten min utes the price declined to S5Kc. The market then took a sudden uoturn and for the remainder of the session the sentiment was decidedly bullish. A big jump in corn prices had unsettled trad CTS who might otherwise have been sellers, and all at once apparently ev- eryone wanted to buy wheat and noEe had any for sale.
 Strength, however, did not come from sympathy with corn. Reports f damage by rust continued to be recefy- ed from the northwest, and as these ad vices were accompanied by good buy ing orders the pit traders here chang cd to the bull side.
 The market closed at practically the highest point. After touching 91Tc September closed at 91A05Sc.

ARE WAITING ON LONDON
And London Is Waiting on
 the War.

N ew York, Aug. 1.-The exreme dull ness of today's market was quite evi- dently due to the closing of the London market and was a testimonial to the importance attached to that market as an index of international political con- ditions. Hesitation and disinclination to enter new commitments here. with London trading suspended, were domi- nant feautes of the local maket, but it was also evident that there was d want ing pressure of liquidation on account of local conditions CT on account of weak speculative holdings of stock such as caused the reaction last week.
 With money practically unlendable on call. except at 1 per cent or below, there is no clear reason why speculative holders should be forced to liquidate and they seemed treasured today about

IMMIGRANTS NEEDED.
A natter Enlisting the Attention of
 Transportation Companies.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Frank P. Sar-
 gent, commissioner general of inlmigra-
 tion. had conference today with rep- resentatives of the big IraLsportatio l companies regarding the corning to this country of eniiSrants to take up lands in the south, especially in Texas.
 Scarcity of labor in the south, partfc- ularly in the cotton raising states. has induced some transatlantic lines to in- investigate the matter of dfverting q party of immigrants to those states.
 The immigration bureau had nothing to do with that part of the country ir- to which the immigration should be diverted. but MI. Sargent said he ha,! heard of a proposition to establish steamship lines between Italy and New orleans, the idea being 10 supply ItIl- ian immigrants for the agricultural re- gIonS of the south. The conference ha had today relates to the establishment ot colonies of Italian farmers in Texas.

A FINISH FIGHT.
The Death of Lieutenant General Count
 Keller.

St. Petersburg. Aug. 1.-At last the decisive. battle of the campaign seems to be ia progress. Having com@leted an envelc.inc movement of the Rus sian positien, Kuroki- ordered q simul- tancous advance from all colnts against Hai Cheng and Liao Yang. Fighting on both fronts stil continues. Kuropatkins position will be desperate in the event of his defeat. Keen anX- iety is felL at the war office. The gen. 'craI staff is dumfounded at the number Of men the Japanese possess and Ku- ropatkins report that they are landing another force at the port of New Chwang adds to the solicitude.
 A further dispatch from Kurooatkin t.c the emperor dated today says: All our positions are retained at Simou- cheng. We retained all our rositions held by our eastern force at Yang S pass. General Keller. commanding, having chosen these as points from which to watch the fight, a battery near him was exposed to heavier fire than any other. He was mortally wounded at o'clock this afternoon and died twenty minutes later. There ar, no reports yet from our extreme right flank"

N. '. BUILDING STOPS
The Trades Alliance Anticipates a
 Lockout.

New York. Aug. 1.-The building Trades Alliance made up of seven unions declared a strike today against the George A. Fuller Construction company and work was tied up on these buildings: the Times building. the Sturtevant building; the Trinity building; the New York Hephodrome and Labor building, Wall and Pearl streets.
 Philip Weinsheimer; president of the building trades, who declared the strike on the Subway last week is re- sponsble for the strike today. The reason given for calling out the men was because of the claim that the Full Ter company has been using stone from non-union quarries and trimming yards. In some quarters, it is said, the actual reason for the strike was a fear that the Building Trfades Elm ployers association would declare a lockout. At a meeting today the board of governors of the employers association formulated a letter which was sent to each of the unions of the Building Trades alliance. While it was admitted that the action taken was of very decided importance the employers absolutely refused to reveal | the contents of the letter. Charles L. | Eidlitz, president of the association said the stand taken was firm, but he | did not admit that anything like an ul- | timatum had been sent.
 | The strike ard todays move of the | employers grew out of a series oi | disputes that promiSe to involve the | employers and union men in the buill- ing trades in another gigantic strug- gle. The feeling is extremely bit.'l | between the two sides and both has
 been preparing for the fight that ap- l pears to be beginning. The employ
 CTS assert that If they are driven they l will declare war to a, finish on the un.
 ions and employ non-union men unde
 the open shop policy. The employer
 claim that ever since the arbitration
 agreement was entered into a year ago
 after a peaceful settlement of the lont
 fight of building trades there has beer
 a disposition on the part of some O
 the unions to violate it.
 The Building Trades alliance Ina: practically taken the place of the or
 ganization headed by the late San Parks.

The Westinghouse Strike
 Coming to an End
DAY WITHOUT VIOLENCE
The Old Hum of Industry Heard in
 the Chicago Union Stock Yards.
 Kansas City Strikers, Weary of Awaiting Benefits, Return to Work.

Chicago, Aug. This was a busy day with the packers. With increas- ed forces of skilled workers and theIr operating departments more thorough ly equipped than at any time since ihe beginning of the strike, the employers took a firm grip on the machinery of their affairs and as a result the st)"k yards took on the old hum of activity to a great extent. over 7S,000 head of live stock was received here today. This is an increase of 59,00o head over the receipts of the corresponding lay las Ntek. Such m enormous amount of livestock would under normal condi- tions have had a depressing effect on the market and today when train loads of animals began to pour into the yards stock men and traders feared a panic, but it did not occur.
 Today was more free from violence than at any time since the strike be- gan. There were several disturbanc $ during the day, but the police eXper- fenced little difficulty in restoring or der. The crowds usually seen at the entrance to the yards were no longer in evidence today and wagons cI-ry- ing meat passed through the slreels with their drivers unmolested When the strike breakers left the plants to night trouble was expected by the po- lice but for the first time in the h sior? of the strike, they were disappointed not a single attack upon non-union men being made.
 Rioters stoned the Deering street police station late tonight and for : l with a crowd of 10000 men and wom- en, as it charged the station repeated | ly with sticks and stones, shouting vengeance against the police. The | trouble started when the police wenl to the assistance of Frank Castellano strike breaker. employed in the stocr yards, who pad been dragged from q street car and severely beaten. Bs- | fore the police could reach Castellane | 4e had iireC four shots from revol-
 veG at his assailants. and ono bulie l took effect ill John Shsehanis arm Tn, mob became infuriated when they saw

 rush for Castellano, but he was re
 scued by the iolice. The police sta lion was only two blocks away an' Castellano was taken there for safety
 Seeing that their intended victim hal
 escaped, the rioters determined to ge revenge on the police and tried L
 wreck the station. Nearly T doZel
 timss the police saIlied forth an charged the crowd with clubs befor

 cnarges three policemen were injur2

FRIsco's CONTRIBUTION.

San Francisco, Aug. IA party of 70 non-union butchers and meat cut ters left this city tonight for the pack ing house centers in the east where they will act as strike breakers. They signed contracts with a local employ ment agency in which they agreed to work for the firm of SchwarzchiId & Sulzberger. The contract agreed to lodge and feed the men any pay them rates varying from 50 to 9 cents per hour according to the character of the work. The employment agency claims that th's is the vanguard of a large number of men who will be hired ill this and other coast cities to take the place of the striking butchers in the east.

BREAKING UP AT K. c.

Kansas City, August 1.-Today's de-
 velopments in the packers strike were serious from the point of the strikers as hundreds of their number returned to work many of them being skilled workmen. Serious breaks in the ranks of the strikers today were caused by their growing tired of waiting for the strike benefit money promised from afford to remain idle for longer time without pay. A few of the men who applied for work were refused their old places and these were not taken back but were assured that they would be reemployed when it becomes necessary for the packers to increase their farces.
