THE STOCK MARKET

New York. July 27.-The slusgishness of the Hartman Pacifics which has been in evidence ever since the dividend rate on Southern Pacific was made definitely known was continued restraint on the market today. Prices ,fluctuated unevenly over a narrow range and trading at times was nearly idle. The complexion of the bank statement was not liked. the growth fin de- posits through the heavy surplus from the gain in cash which was nearly large anticipated
 Bank clearings for the week show an ex- pansion over last year and 1t Is significant that while New York clearings for five days are s70.o00 900 less than last year. those for all cities outside the seven leading re- centers are $66,o00.0oO greater than last year. thus reflecting the widespread distribution of the activity The week s expansion of New York bank loans is at tributed to a transfer of loans from trust companies to banks. induced by the unprof- itable rates of money call
 There was some recovery in the Erie is- sues from the recent weakness. Firmness in United States Steel was attributed to ex- pectation of a very favorable report for the July quarter to be published next week. Cot ton carriers and industrials showed some special strength Changes at the end or the day were small and the tone irregular Total sales of bonds par value were $3ss'- 900. NEW.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

Chicago. July 27.-Fresh confirmation of black rust in the wheat fields in the two cents per bushel fin the price of wheat here today. At the close the September delivery showed net gain of 1%c. Corn was up e ssc. Oats were &c higher. Pro- visions were a shade to Sc higher.
 The sharp advance in wheat prices fol- lowed weak opening due to selling brought out by lower prices at Liverpool and by Q decline in the price of wheat on the Min neapolis curb. Favorable weather for the crop In this country also had weakening tendency at the start
 Sentiment in the pit. however. soon chang cd to bullishness upon receipts of reports from Minneapolis which claimed that black rust is steadily spreading throughout the Dakotas and Minnesota.

 The clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 501.000 bushels Primary receipts were 745.oo0 compared with 1.2i2.o00 bush-
 Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago report ed receipts of 365 cars. against 292 last week and 725 year ago.
 The corn market opened easy because ot rain and cooler weather in the Southwest but became firm on buying based on the sharp advance in wheat Trading was rather quiet all day. The buying was chief ly by leading commission houses. The mar ket closed firm.
 September opeped unchanged to Ac low CT at 53Ac to 5!SAc. advanced to 53%c and closed at. 53% 4%c. Local receipts were 1855 cars, with 15 of contract grade

stand such tl-S. Petty jeal-
ousleS, greed for place, power,
notoriety, keep the people in con-
stant turmoil. Revolution fol-
lows revolution continually. In
fact there are two or three going
on simultaneously, and constant
ly.
Under these conditions pro-
gress is impossible, and it is ap-
parent that whatever is neces-
sary to raise these people to
higher civic and industrial levels
must come from without. But
from whence? What nation
might undertake the work and
succeed? England might; Ger
many might, and better, too.
But our Monroe doctrine would
not permit any such interference
by European power. and it practi-
cal,y binds us to non-interfer-
|ence.
It is not reasonable to suppose
we can persue this dog-in-the-
manger policy forever. We can
not always stand in the way of
the development and higher
civilization of South America.
We must undertake the work
ourselves, or stand aside and
permit others to do so. If we do
not one or the other, of our own
volition, we shall probably be
forced to act.
We practically have extended
or protectorate over Cuba and
the Philippines, and may, with
greater reasons take the repub-
lies of South America under our
protection. We have protected
them from foreign interference,
and need now only to protect them
from themselves. Certainly if
the United States cannot wheel
them into column and march
them to a better civilization no
other power can do so. In that
event, the world would scarcely
object to their submergence.
The completion of the Panama
canal will bring US increased
burdens ard added responsible
tiles, and our relations to these
republics may then take on a diff
erent complexion.
We may deplore, but scarcely
can avoid it.

NO WAY YET FOUND.

Each recurring strike gives
Occasion for wide discussion of
means for preventing sucn strikes
anu settling those differences
which arise between employers
and employees and eliminate in
strikes.
Such are the social and indus
trial conditions of modern life
that no strike is possible which
does not affect many more people
than those who are in direct con-
tentiOn. So related, correlated
and interviewer are our social
and business interests that all
must feel and do feel TIE jar, dis
comfort and deprivation conse'
quent upon the default of any
single interest.
With the avowed purpose Of
increasing these discomforts,
the foolish, sentimental sym
pathetic strike" is called, and it
is quickly illustrated how a few
people may outrage the whole
mass.
Of means to prevent this, ar
bitration is most frequently dis
cussed and appears to receive
most favor. This may be, it is
claimed, of two kinds-voluntary
and enforced. Voluntary arbi-
tration is rarely accepted by
both parties until the strike has
reached an acute stage. AS a
preventive of strikes it is seldom
invoked and is generally power
less. The present strike of
telegraphers illustrates this.
Both sides declare they will fight
to a finish and submit nothing to
arbitration. Possibly after a
long and bitter contest, and
greater trial Of the patience and
endurance of the people they may
submit their differences to arbi-
tration.
Enforced arbitration-that is
arbitration compelled by law
might prevent strikes by immed-
lately adjusting the differences
which cause them. But enforced
arbitration is not the American
ioea OF arbitration. He abhors
and denounces it as devoid of
every characteristic of real arbi-
tration.
1t would appear that unless
labor unions are recognized by
al! employers and, unless they are
incorporated, compulsory arbi-
tration would fail of good results
We have not found a sure and
acceptable way to adjust difficult
ties causing strikes, and prob
ally shall not until the majority
o. men have a better conception
OF right and justice and a pro-
founder respect for mine and
thine.

this is largely due to the lower
