NEW HIGH LEVELS.

Send Prices Soaring Rapidly.

New York, July 1S.-Infiuenced part
ly by reports of damage to the cotton
crop through excessive rainfall in the
south and partly by a shifting of spec
ulative contracts, the Cotton Exchange
was the scene today of considerable
excitement and rapidly rising prices.
New high records were established for
all options, and the spot price of
the STAPLE was carried to the highest
level since the Sully corner of more
than six wears ago.
Advances ran from 20 tho SO points,
or 81 to $1.65 a bale. July cotton rose
above 16 IL cents a pound, October
above 13 is, and December nearly to
Is, all of these being new high records
for the year. The July price of 16 IL
cents exceeded the records of every
one of the past thirty years saving the
II 1-2 cent record of 1904, in the Sully
boom. The market was greatly excit-
ed for a, time, but advances were con-
fined to the figures given, the higher

fered the Employees.

Montreal P. O., July 1S.-Conduc-
tors and trainElen of the Grand Trunk
and Central Vermont railways obeyed
an automatic strike order at $50
o'clock tonight. on Sunday when the

Velope to be opened at that hour, call
ing strike, unless a telegram had
been previously received, which, up-
on comparison with a copy enclosed
in the envelope, stated otherwise. No
such telegram was sent and so the
strike became effective at $50.
Under the terms of the strike order,
trains which began their runs before
$50 are to be taken through to the
terminal by the men in charge After
that the company is expected to look
after its own interests.

men from 1.90 to 2.25 cents.
"On the runs between Montreal and
Ottawa conductors are raised from
s110 to $40 a month; baggagemen
from SIS to $S5 and so on.
when l put. this to the men l said
further that this was large increase
but that if they did not think it sat-
isfactory there was still another al
tentative. I said / was willing in such
case TO go to the arbitration of
board of expert railway men as to
whether or not the proposition was
fair and would be willing to abide
by.their decision.
Further. I said TO the representa-
tives of the men: Suppose a strike
is brought on with all it's disturbance
of conditions and business. what shall
we do eventually but settle it as
have proposed? You will have dis
placed a great many men, created
great losses all over. and got no fur
ther ahead But they refused to lis
ten to this.
