men were inserted in the morning
papers here again today by the Mis-

ad said the men sought were to take
the place Of present employees who
will strike September 4. The adver-

lions will be considered confidential.

| Feeling Effect Already.
NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-First effects
of the impending nationwide railway
strike. which will tie up the commerce
of the country, were being felt today
-four days before the walkout Of the
400 900 members Of the big four bro
therhoods is scheduled.
| Probably never in the history OF
railroaiing have the big lines Of the
country faced such a situation as is
now presented. Many lines have al
ready put an embargo on all freight
which cannot be delivered before
: September four. Shippers and buyers
were making frantic efforts to move
goods or lay in an extraordinary sup
ply.
Thousands Of persons on vacations
or away from home on business are
cutting their trips short.
The New York, New Haven and
Hartford railway was the first to de
clare an embargo on freight in the
eastern district. The New York Cen
trail. Pennsylvania, Lackawanna. Erie
and New York. Susquehanna and
Western are expected to follow suit
No attempt is made by the roads te
minimize the probable effect of q
strike. but banks are also being flood
ed with demands from big bushes:
houses, endeavoring to- purchase sup
plies in practically "trainioad lots
This means more than trebling theil
usual orders in most cases, and con
sequent hurried arrangements for fin
ancing the deals.
Owing to the heavy traffic and cal
shortage under normal conditions, II
is realized that the railways may no
be able tc handle any more freigh
than is now actually on hand. Thi:
would mean business houses which
failed to get in their extra order!

400 Main ST. Telephone No. 1901
CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-Wheat-The
wheat market was held in check by
lack of interest on account Of the pos.
sibility OF new Developments in the
railroad situation. Bullish features
are the poor yields and low quality in
the northwest on both sides OF the In
ternational line. and keen demand for
good wheat in the southwest. PR.
mary receipts, while heavy, are little
more than the shipments and less
than receipts at the seaboard. The
strike situation Is the one unsettling
feature at the moment and so long as
1t remains in it's present stage of UNI
certainty, will be curb on bullish
activities.
Corn-Corn opened easy with wheat,
but reacted sharply on commission
houses buying. A late feature in the
market was the issuance Of bullish
report by local statistician. showing
a lower condition and reduced yicld,
as compared with the estimate of
August /. If husking returns verify
this estimate, there is little possibili-
ty of low priced corn during the COM
ing year.
Oats-The feature In oats was the
buying of September and the selling
of December at three cents difference
by warehouse interests. The market
was more irregular than OF late, the
trade being impressed by heavy re-
ceipts and large accumulations at ter
minal points The seaboard reports
ia larger inquiry for cash oats at
prices very close to working basis.
