sue last week Organized Labor published
a characteristically able article from the
pen of Samuel Gompers, in which he
urges the election of trade unionists to

Grand Old Man OF the labor movement
was amply demonstrated at the meeting
of the council last week. when. by unan-

THE CROP MARKETS
Lower Prices Prevail in Com.
modify Markets.

Prices in the grain markets as a gen.
eral rule were lower yes .erday, but
wheat was the only commodity to weaken
perceptibly, experiencing break OF nc
to lac bushel. Good weather conditions
reported from the Northwest and favor
able crop reports played an important
part. Buying orders were scarce and the
prevailing sentiment was bearish. An
estimate Of the wheat crop given out by
Snow added 100000 bushels to the gov
eminent July report and was the cause
OF considerable selling. Corn was on an
easy plane, owing to rain IN the South
western belt. large South American ship
ments and considerable commission house
selling. Coffee experienced q setback In
prices, following the advance of the pre-
vious day. Selling was general, caused
particularly by large receipts, favorable
weather reports and the belief that the
forthcoming statement OF the worlds visi-
bic supply would create a bearish sentl-
ment. The Havre market was steady as
to tone, and closed 4 franc higher. Ham,
burg was firm.
