Chicago, Aug. 10.-WHEAT-A fair de-
mand from commission houses held the
wheat market steady today. Almost per-
feet weather for the maturing of the
spring sown crop prevailed Prices at Liv-
erpool were a trifie lower and this tended
to augment bearish sentiment here. Sep
TENDER opened shade higher to 1sQ14c
lower, at S27sQS31sc- After selling at $3.50
the price settled back to 831sc. MinneapoI-
is, Duluth and Chicago reported $50 cars,
against 24S cars year ago.
Later the market broke sharply on profit
taking, brought out by the bearish tone of
the government report. According to Off
cial statistics total crop of wheat for the
United States is estimated at GA. 400 coo
bushels; Under the selling September
dropped to S15sGS1a4c. The market closed
weak, September off 1011sc, at SIC.
CORN-Active support from bull leaders
caused a firm tone in corn. Higher Srices
at Liverpool added TO the bullishness. Sep
TENDER opened shade higher, at 5S5sc.
sold up to 53szc, and then eased off to 531ac.
The issuance of the crop report had
practically no effect on the market The
close was steady, with September up a
shade, at $3.50.
OATS-Oats were firm on moderate de-
mand from shorts. Offerings were light.
September opened unchanged to 1sc higher,
at 26AQ2T5sc, and for time held within
the opening range.

STA rejects it. the washington confer

Two passages and the issue will be
decided. This is understood to be the
determination of the Japanese pleni-
potentiaries. NJ. White has said he
expects the issue to be decided in a
week. With a basis agreed to the
chance for sparring over details will
increase. Every facility has been
placed at the disposal of each mission
for private consideration of any point.
Opening from one end of the con-
ference room is a suite of three spa

Under President RoOsevelt's direc-

combining himself to looking after the
comfort and entertainment of the ma
tons disting uished guests, avoiding
scrupulously any action which might
be interpreted as a desire on the part
of the United States to interfere in the
negotiations. A clear sky and cool
breeze ushered in the day.

WRECKED A BAKERY.
Rioters Threw Bread and Dough Into
the Streets.

New York, Aug. 1O.-Outbreaks of
rioting, calling for drastic action by
the police marked the course of the
strike of the Hebrew bakers on the
East side last night In an attack on
bakery in Allen street fifty rioters
ing it and upset the barrels of flour and
dough in the street. The police re-
serves had to be called out before the
rioters could be dispersed. A commit
tee of one hundred sent from strike
headquarters to a bakery in Orchard
street to induce nonunion workmen to
quit, attacked the shop, hearing of
which hundreds of strikers rushed from
the meeting to the scene of conflict. One
policeman who attempted to defend
the nonuniOn men, was severely beaten,
but held his ground until rescued The
patrol wagon. bringing a squad of re-
serves was furiouSly aSSailed by the
mob, who stopped the horses and even
dragged some of the men from their
seats The rest quickly charged the
mob through rain of bottles and
bricks that poured from roofs and win
doWs.
After ten minutes hard fighting the
mob was dispersed.
At many points on the East SIDE
wagons carrying bread were attacked,
the drivers beaten and the contents
thrown into the street.
Many women participated in these at
tackS. According to the strikers the
loaves thus destroyed were supplied
from shops in PhiladelphiawRnd other
nearby towns.
Throughout the whole lower East side
q bread famine was general among the
Hebrews for the people not only refused
to eat any but kosher bread, but ap-
peared to be bent on destroying all the
bread of that character which they
could lay their hands on.

QUICK WORK LOOKED FOR.
Neither Party Expects or Desires Any
Considerable Delay.

Portsmouth, Aug. 10.-When active
negotiations by the peace ENJOYS
begin Japan will present her maximum
but she also has her irreducible
minimum and in the first real passage
at arms it will be the aim of the Rus
sian negotiators to force the adversary
back to the last line of defense. just
how this is to be accomplished will
constitute the interesting tactics of the
conference. 1t is regarded as certain
that the japanese will ask the Rus
SLAMS to accept or decline the basis of
negotiations as whole. To allow
them to proceed by a process of elimi-
nation would give the Russians a big
advantage and inevitably prolong the
period during which the main oues-
ton, as to whether a basis of settle
ment could be reached, would remain
in doubt. Mr.. Witte perfectly realizes
this, and when faced with the Jap
anese conditions, he will doubtless ask
time for their consideration to ascer-
tain what points come within his in
structions. While no time limit will
be fixed, Mr.. White will doubtless give
within a few hours, as upon the main
issue-the question of the acceptance
Of the basis of egotiations-little
fencing will be possible. That Mr..
Witte will decline to accept the condi-
tons as whole may be regarded as a
foregene conclusion and in his reply
he is expected to point out clearly what
points he can and what points he can
not accept. 1t will be the japanese
rejoinder to this reply which will prob
ably determine the. fate of the nego-
fiations. Japan will then come for
ward with her minimum and if Rus

ARE NOT DISCOURAGED
Grand Organizer KyIer of BoiIernaI-
ers Tells of Condition of Union.

1.-The Santa Fe boilermakers who are
out on strike against the company are
fully determined to stand together and
fight this strike to a successful finish
There will be an uniform rate of wages
and a contract for the entire system be-
fore we will lift the embargo against
the Santa Fe."
Such were the remarks of E. r. Kyler.
of Los Angeles, grand organizer of the
Boilermakers' union, when he was
shown the circular letter issued by
Grand President Organizer Dunn of the
Boilermakers' union which was printed
in last nights State Journal. The let
ter was a report of the conference
which MI. Dunn had with Vice Presi-
dent Kendrick of the Santa Fe and was
private communication to the mem
bers of the boilermakers' organization
which fell into the companyS hands
and was subsequently published.
Concerning the matter Mr.. Kyler said
this morning:
That letter which was published is
practically the same as that which was
sent out by Mr.. Dunn. The purpose OF
it was to allow the men who can't stand
up under long fight to get other en-
ployment and thus get more money than
they are making at present. we nave
some men who can't get along on the
five and seven dollar strike allowance
which we are making at present. But
their names are never taken off the
strike list and they are subject to i'm
mediate call at any time.
Another object of the circular was to
cut down the amount of money used as
benefit for the strikers. 1t is bust
ness proposition with US and the less
money we have to pay out the longer
will we be able to carry on the strike.
That part of the letter which stated
that two men were enough to carry on
the strike at any one place did not re-
fer to a place the size of Topeka. We
have at present 81 men out and we will
not let the number fall below 20"
When asked how the secret mat
tiers leaked out of the union and how
the Santa Fe was able to follow the
unions slightest movement, Mr. kyler
said: Glow it gets out is a mystery
to me. 1 wouldn't want to say wheth-
er or not there is anyone in the union
who is giving the company information
because that is matter I don't know
anything about but if we did find such
a person we certainly would make it
hot for him.
1.-THE grand council meets today in
Chicago and while it's actions are bind
ing it would not declare the
strike off or vote to discontinue
the strike benefit because that
would be contrary to the consti-
tuition. The strike can be declared
off only by two-thirds vote of the
local union. We are organizing the
unfair men and are getting more right
along. In this respect the strike is
different than any ever carried on be-
fore.
1--WE are in for long fight and there
is one thing certain that the men have
nothing to lose while the company has
everything. We will still keep up our
picket duty
