Grafton Of Labor.

Grafton Of Labor.
Chicago, Aug. 28.-Representative
postofiice clerks from six cities met
here and formed a national union un-
der the auspices of the American
Federation of Labor The organlza-
tion, which will be known as the Ma
tional Federation of Postofflce Clerks,
is the first national labor union in the
United States to be composed exclu-
sively of government employees. Dele
gates were present from Milwaukee,
Louisville, Nashville, Salt Lake City,
San Francisco and Chicago. Several
other cities, il is said, will be repre-
sented in the movement as soon as IL
is fairly launched. All of the branches
that sent delegates to the convention
are chartered by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor as local unions, and
the movement TO start the national
federation is said to have the ap-
proval of Samuel Gompers and his
associates in the executive council.
Formal application for a national
charter was forwarded to Washing
ton. The object of the federation is
said to be to seek the adjustment of
grievances by having the American
Federation of Labor stand sponsor
for remedial legislation, which gov
ernment employees are prohibited
from attempting to influence.

Wet weather over the spring wheat
states Of the northwest has followed
the harvest and resulted in rather slow
threshing and marketing operations.
For this reason there has been no such
movement of wheat to Minneapolis and
Chicago as the trade expected by the
last days of this month, There is little
doubt that fine September weather will
see very free marketings Of the sur
plus wheat at least over and above
What farmers are able to care for in
their uins While the trade watches
closely to see how the northwest farmer
is going to offer his wheat the south
west ia holding back its best grain
and this has given the country at
large very limited movement fol some
days past. A continuation of light re-
ceipts might start the foreigner to buy
ing more actively. The latest London
report is that excessively wet weather
ruins great quantity OF Russian
wheat and lowered the quantity OF
much more IL IS presumed that
elevator and milling interests in the
northwest will care for a large portion
Of the early spring wheat movement.
If this is not the case and there are
heavy hedging sales In this market
against the run of spring wheat,
nothing at present in sight will pre-
vent further lowering of prices. We
wish TO encourage wheat raisers in
becoming direct shippers of their own
grain. Quite a number have already
loaded and shipped their wheat to this
market and We venture the prediction
that at the end of the season they will
be financially ahead of those who
undertake to store their grain OF have
the regular grain handlers market it
for them.
There is a warm dispute among corn
traders as to whether or not this
market Will have greatly increased
movement next month. The first
of the present week brought larger
receipts but these have gradually
dwindled and at present waiting the
country offerings are 80 moderate az
to give little promise of any increase
in Chicago stocks. Seldom in late
years has Chicago been found with
so little coin on hand and the total
vi Ible supply Is relatively very light
Cash corn rules we'll over the price
of futures. Large manufacturing in
terests are good buy ers of the cash al
ticle. Elevator people have been active
on the buying side Of september corn.
There Is no question about abundant
corn reserves but the corn Iaisers of
this country have made the good
prices for the past ten months and
they show no disposition at present
to offer very Freely at this level.
The country never presented more
promising corn crop for the last
week IN August. A liberal run Ot
corn tor a week or ten days may
bring one cent or more concession iu
prices and then a let up in offering,
on the decline is likely to start both
speculative and investment buying.
Weather conditions over the nortn.
west where the bumper oats yields are
found this year nave prevented tree
marketing All the advices from that
quarter suggest that there will be
heavy IeceITts in the near future with
fine weather. The speculative trade
will feel the weight CT the hedging
sales and buyers aie inclined TO hold
Oft to get in on any break.

a crossroad. Charing Cross was for.
merly one Of the noted landmarks OF
Britain, and its history is an follows:
In November of the year 1901 Good
Queen Eleanor" as she was termed by
her loyal subjects, was called to join
her husband, who was then making ar
expedition into Scotland. When Flea
nor had got as far on her way as
Grantham she sickened and died.
The remains must, Of course, be bur
led at Westminster, and the funeral
cortege started in that direction.
During the time this royal funeral
procession was slowly winding its
weary way toward the capital thou
sands of people focked to the wayside
to get glimpse Of 1t. 1t was great
event in the history Of the rural dis
tricts, and they did everything possible
TO make the solemn occasion mem.
orable one. Wherever the procession
halted for the night or for other cause
the people afterward set up a memorial
One of the longest stops was made al
Charing, and subsequently a richly
carved memorial cross was erected on
the site of the camp This was the
Charing Cross Of history. 1t stood un.
til 1647, when the last vestige Of it was
destroyed during the civil wars OF
Charles l., the vandals who destroyed
the relic claiming 1t to be a monument
of popish superstition. Charing Cross
as seen today was erected by the
Southern Railway company in the yeaI
1866.
