The following suggestions are made:
First: Move all the coal, lumber, ce-

before the heavy crop movement starts.
Second: Load and unload all cars as
quickly as possible. Qf. without aodi-
tional cost. the use of greater force wili

Third: Load all cars to the full ca

cars should SO far as possible be loaded
to a weight between the marked ca

Fourth: Anticipate the disposition OF

Fifth: Only order such cars as can
be loaded promptly. (Orders for cars
should state the number required Tor

FIGHT ALL NIGHT
Strikers and COsSacks Battle In
81. Petersburg Streets.
Number of Idle Workers Is
Placed at 12O, 700.

st. Petersburg. July 23.-At least
five striking workmen were killed and
eight seriously wounded during the
fighting in the streets Of st. Peters
burg between strikers and Co4sacks
which continued throughout the night
and ceased only at dawn this morning.
Three police officials also are known
to have been severely injured. It il
generally understood the casualties
among the strikers were much heavier
as it is believed they concealed a num-
Der of their dead and wounded. Off
cial estimates Of the number of men
who have quit work give the total of
10000 in the city itself.
Men carrying red flags spent the
might marching and singing revolu-
tionary songs in the outlying open
spaces of the capital while in the vi
borg district they cut down the tele-
graph poles, upset vans and construct
ed barbados across the streets from
the shelter Of which they stoned the
police and Cossacks.
The strikers. however, eventually
dispersed and the barbados were
destroyed but only after the police and
soldiers had fired volleys from their
rifles.
Early today the strikers attempted
to set fire to the Samson bridge lead
ing across the river to the Viborg dis
trict and also tried to destroy the
neighboring waterworks but a strong
detachment Of police drove them
away.

CORN PROSPECTS ARE GOOD.
Outlook In Southwest Much Better
Than Last Year.

st. Louis, Mo-, July 23.-With the gov
eminent crop report allotting to the
southwest an extraordinary wheat yield.
attention Is now being converged on the
growing corn. In aome vicinities. the
corn seems almost az favorable as the
wheat. Plenteous rains have fallen
over a large territory in the last week.
and reports from other corn sections
lead to the conclusion that 1t Is chiefly
in localities where inferior soil and
drought that the outlook Is not favor
able.
AS yet, the expected trade recovery Is
slow. Manufacture Is about the same.
there being no change in fundamental
conditions. The business of agricul-
tural houses has been phenomenal.
Many eastern concerns which have es-
tablished plants here within the past
few years. declare that their business
il amazing. They ascribe their great
prosperity to the invasion of new terri
tory and to the marketing Of specialties.
Preparations are made for q heavy
trade in the agricultural districts of
Kansas, Missouri. Nebraska. Oklahoma
and Texas this autumn. This activity
will get under way by the middle Of
August.
