Relief From Long Drought
in Argentina Gives Bears
an Inning.

Chicago. Oct. 26.-Rains in Argentina
gave an advantage today to the bears
in wheat. Although the consequent
break in prices was a signal for re-
newed buying, which caused sharp
upturn in the market. the strength
failed to last. 1t did not appear that
the general ending of the draught had
taken in place in Argentina, but the
fact that some moisture had been sup
piled seemed TO diminish greatly at
least for the time being the speculative
buying power in the pit.
Opening prices. which ranged from
the same as yesterdays finish to IN
lower, with December and May both
i.7s to $50, were followed by a little
further sag and then a temporary
bulge, with a substantial fresh setback.
The finish was unsettled at the same
as yesterdays latest figures to 1ac
higher. Closing prices:
Wheat-Dec. 1.S01k; May 1.Sok.
Corn-Dec. S7H; May Ss1s.
Oats-Dec. 539s; May 67A.
Pork-Dec. 1850; Jan. 25.s2.

KANSAS CITY LIVESTOCK.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Oct, "a
The cattle market showed extraordin-
airy capacity last week, completely alb
sorbing the run of $1,000 cattle and
5000 calves. second largest week on
record here. and 5000 cattle besides
held over from previous week. Not
only that, but the market Thursday
and Friday showed an advance of 10
to 20 cents on steers of all kinds. Re
ceipts today dropped to $4,000 and
prices are 10 to rs higher on practically
everything.
Choice heavy fed steers sold up to
$1,000 todas, not al lite the limit of
the market for prime beeves. no fancy
yearllngs here. Good grass steers got
competition from feeder buyers up to
$3.50 today, middle class weighty steers
around So, medium weights 81 to s7.36.

HOGS.
Lower reports from Chicago at the
start failed to produce any effect here,
and sales were steady. top 5000, bulk
1911! to $10.15. receipts 1000 head.
Mess pork made a big advance today,
and it looks like a higher market for
live hogs tomorrow. Packers are not
accommodating any material, and the
advance in futures today indicates
their weak position. Receipts OF hogs
are fairly liberal, but fresh meat trade
requires large numbers. leaving an
inadequate remainder for smoked and
salt meats. Corn at a dollar bushel
makes present hog prices legitimate,
and any economical system of fatten-
Ing hogs will get highest rewards the
coming winter.
SHEEP AND LAMBS.
Receipts of $4,000 head sold at steady
prices, best westerns 5000. middle
class westerns $1O.15, feeding lambs 80

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-The Unit
ed States senate spent today arguing
with itself preparatory to casting the
votes that will say whether or not
there is to be q nation wide railway
strike While the senators argued,
however, they were practically agreed
that their votes would be against
such a strike. They were prepared
to put their ok on the preventative
legislation, proposed by the president
and endorsed by the house.
By nightfall a new federal eight
hour day statute is expected to be
part of the law Of the land, so far as
the senate can make it. By midnight
it Is expected to be complete, bearing
the presidents signature.
Six o'clock is the hour set for the
vote and special messenger is ready
to rush the measure down to New
Jersey. Senate adjourned at 11:O0
o'clock last night without having fin
ished its work on the bill. Demands
for a vote at that time were overcome
by senators who wished to talk today.
The full galleries and the tense atmos-
phere Of last night were not duplicat-
ed when the session opened today,
but there was reason to believe the
crowds would gather again to witness
the closing hours of deliberation and
the history making vote.
There was to be two hours of gen.
eral debate with thirty minutes
speeches beginning at noon. Voting
on amendments was to start at 400
o'clock At or before 500 o'clock,
according to the number of amend
ments, the senate will vote on the
bill itself, which provides for an
eight hour day at the present rate of
pay, and appointment of a commits
sion to Investigate and report within
six to eight months on the financial
results of the operation Of the law.
The Adamson measure was given
precedence in the senate when no
objection was made to consideration
Of the house measure in place of the
longer and more comprehensive bill
prepared by the senate Interstate
commerce committee. While a close
vote was expected on Senator Under
woods amendment authorizing the
interstate commerce commission to
fix rates of pay and hours of labor,
it was believed it would be voted
down.
Senator Shafroth opened the debate
today by moving to change Senator
Underwood's amendment so that it
would be specifically stated no en-
ploye affected by the bill would be
compelled by its terms to work, that
stopping of work would not consti-
tute delaying or obstructing opera
tion Of trains," for which the amend

CHICAGO, Sept. z-Strike prepar-
ations were continued today by west
ern railways despite lessening posi-
bility Of a walkout of the four
brotherhoods Monday. Operatives do
not doubt that the senate will confirm
the action of the house Yesterday in
passing the Adar son bill and thus
postpone strike. But they plan to
strengthen their positions so that if
an appeal to the courts should reverse
the action of congress, they would be
ready to meet a strike. Between now
and January 1, when it becomes ef-
fective, it is expected that "details Of
general plan of resistance will be
worked out
Whether the roads will ignore the
Adamson law and force the govern
ment to sue on its enforcement CT
will themselves take the initiative
and seek restraining orders, has not
yet been determined.
First indications of the railroads
belief that there will be no strike
Monday was seen today in the lifting
of embargoes on perishable freight
on four western roads The action
was accepted generally as indicating
that operating officials were convinc-
ed there would be no strike. More
are expected today.
The roads lifting embargoes were
the Northwestern, Burlington, Rock
Island and the Erie.
Ben Bowen, Milwaukee, general
chairman of the Order of Railway
Conductors on the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul, admitted today that
1000 st. Paul conductors have voted
to disregard the strike orders. Rail-
road heads claim that they have been
assured % per cent Of their employees
would refuse to obey walkout order.

Americas 5000 Islands.

London Chronicle: Since the Unit
ed States began acquiring overseas
possessions after the Spanish-Ameri-
can war of eighteen years ago the re-
public has so considerably added to
its responsibilities outside the Amer
ican continent that it now owns more
than 5000 islands, with a population
of some ten millions and an import
and export trade, mainly with Amer
ica, of over $500, 900, 900 annually. OF
these 5000 and odd islands rather
more than 5000 are in the Philippine
group, seven-eighths of which are
