N. Y. MARKET LETTER
(From our Special Correspondent

WHEAT.-The wheat market de-
yeloped a downward tendency dur
ing the early dealings, but prices
rallied later and closed steady. There
was pressure from bearish pit trad
ers and also scattered selling by
commission houses during the whole
week. During the late trading the
market held steady, owing partly to
further reports of export buying, and
partly to the unfavorable Modern
Miller report. The session ended
with prices Ac. lower to " higher.
CORN.-There was little activity
displayed in the corn market, al
though the undertone was slightly
easier. Sentiment was Influenced by
lower Liverpool cables, rather liberal
receipts and favorable weather con-
ditious. Rumors of export buying
closed the market steady with prices
quotably unchanged.
BUTTER.-The market is drift
Ing along in about the same manner
as has been noted since the week
opened There Is general dissaus-
action ovr the question of prices,
and the few operators that have
taken hold for storage purposes are
merely taking moderate quantities
and reject everything offered under
fancy. Stock Of the latter descript-
! ion Is very firm, but under grades are
dull and weak. The official prices
were not revised, as members of the
committee feel that the high prices
ruling In the Western markets offer
no encouragement for a local break.
! Owing to the lateness of theseason,
4 GONE butter is arriving, showing that
! the feed of the cows is hay and
grass. From some sections, how
ever, the butter is full grass flavor
and suitable for either high-clasS
consumption, or storage purposes.
The position of renovated, factory
and packing stock was unchanged.
Trading for the week
was practically over Friday, and the
price committee, after a short scss-
ion, made no changes in late prices.
The receipts last week were not
large, considering the season. This
has resulted from keen competition
at primary points, and considerable
speculative buying for western In
terests, Very high prices have ruled
in Cuba and Cattaragus, and have
completely shattered all hopes of
getting values on a lower basis.

National industrial Association
Holds Hot Meeting
CHARGES OF TRlCkERY MADE
Association Lauds Labor Unions and
Demands Enforcement Of Laws Against
An Illegal Combinations Whether Cap
itaI or Labor.

RATTLE CREEK, Mich. Oct. l4.--In-
dustrial education in the public schools
as cure for labor ills and means for
Supplying labor needs, denunciation OF
the methods of Samuel Gompers and
other labor leaders, protest against the
ase Of the boycott and the blacklist, in
corporation Of the labor unions. so that
employers may know that contracts will
have some foundation-these were the
sfief demands made in the fifth annual
convention of the National Citizens In
dustial Association of America, held
here. The convention was international
in character, delegates being present
from Canada, and associates of employ
ers and commercial bodies throughout
the country were represented.
Direct charges of trickery and misrep'
resentation were made against Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. BY James A. Emery
secretary of the convention. President c
W. Post and 7. j. Mahoney of Omaha.
The charges were based on the alleged
misrepresentation of Justices of the SUI
preme Court Harlan and Holmes by Mr..
Gonpers in advocating legislation before
Congress, and in what was declared to be
q repeated and deliberate introduction of
@dnctored" copies of injunction writs be-
fore a committee of the house.
Especial care was taken by the con-
yention delegates to dissipate the idea
that the meeting was inimical to labor
unions. President Post declared that any
attempt to get away from high wages
N times of prosperity should draw the
fire of the association and every member
of it. He denounced employers who took
advantage of the national or their local
associations to coerce their employees.
'sTn eases of that kind,' he said, I'D
far rather attack the employer than the
labor nnlon.
His words were echoed by j. w. Van
Cleve, president of the National Asso-
eiatien Of Manufacturers, who lauded the
unions, declared they were doing great
work in uplifting their membership, 80
per cent of which he said were law-abid-
ing Americans, and insisted that the law
should eliminate the boycott and the
black list. Mr. Van Cleye also urged the
necessity for introducing into the public
schools of the country divisions dedicat,
ed to industrial education, and the es-
tablishment of industrial high schools
for turning out of skilled mechanics.
This question of public education along
Industrial lines was touched by almost
every speaker. It is probable that the
Association will work for the passage Of
the Davis bill, now before Congress
