BUSINESS HALTED
IN CHICAGO GRAIN
ON LABOR REPORT
Corn Closed at a Loss, While
Oats Were About on a Bal
ance, as Was the Pro-
visions List


Chicago, october 25.-Uncertainty of the
Industrial situation tended to halt bust
ness today in the corn market and
weaken prices The close was unsettled
at AddKc to 1Ac net lower, with Decem-
Der ST. 5a4d1. 257s, and May s1.22a4q 'l.22Ss.
Oats finished unchanged to &c down, and
provisions unchanged to sc decline.
Dealings in the corn pit were chiefly
local. Considerable scattered selling,
however, took place on the part of the
scattered holders who wished to be rid
of any risk from unfavorable develop
ments over Sunday. At the same time
country offerings to arrive were not
large, and reports indicated that farmers
states showed a general disposition not
to sell at less than $l.25 a bushel. The
May delivery was weaker than the De-
cember because of the fact that at pres
ent the movement of corn is lgkely to
be curtailed by the railroad administra-
ton rule making individual permits ne
cessity for all shipments.
Oats were nearly stagnant, except sales
of $4,000 bushels to New England. Price
changes kept within unusually narrow
limits.
Firmness in the hog market helped to
steady provisions. Besides the recent de-
cline of prices was said to have increased
the demand for meats.

Weekly Cotton Review


New York, October 25.-Cotton goods
markets have been very firm, due to
steady demand and limited supplies Do
nestle cotton goods are being engaged
for future delivery as far as mills will
sell, and number of large mills are
new under contract for five months.
Jobbers have been buying freely and
have been covering their requirements
for some time to come. The larger de-
gree of confidence in higher prices has
resulted from the steady distribution,
tn limited production, and the rise in
raw cotton.
Bleached goods have been sold for
delivery into February and advances
have been made to the highest levels
yer touched on some standard grades
Staple ginghams have been sold
through the first quarter of the year
on a price basis of 221ac yard. Cot
ton duck has been advanced to n basis
of rs off the list, although sales have
been small, the rise in this instance
being due to the sharp cotton advance.
Brown cottons and print cloths are very
firm. Sales of 5000 bales Of brown
SheetlngS have been maze Tor Shipment
to China on a price basis of 24c net
for three-yard goods which is &c a
yard higher than the last price paid for
cotton for this market.
Owing to the scarcity Of long staple
cottons all fine yarns and fine fancy
goods are being held at very high
prices. Colored cottons for home and
foreign shipments are closely sold and
difficult to get in first hands.
Prices current are as follows: Print
cloths, 2S-inch 64x64c 13c. 64x6Os,
12hc; 3Sk Inch, 64x64s, 1Shc to 19c;

Father Manceide Esperance. He found
it while on one of his apostolic jour

MINERS MAY
 REVOKE CHARTERS
 OET ,FSFLBEIL UNIONS

Cleveland. Sept 16.-The miners strike now in proEress in parts Of the Illinois coaI fields and the revocation of the charters of unions participat- ing in this strike were presented to the convention Uf the United Mine Workers Of America yesterday as moves and counter moves in a plot to gain control of the United Miners organization by radical and socialist elements. The strike in Illinois was represented as a tryout which, if sue Cessful would be extended, first to the remaining parts of miners organiza- ton as the largest labor union, and then to other bodies of organized labor.
 This first big clash with the radi- cal element in the convention devel- oDod upon the report of the ereden- tials committee refusing seats to delegates from 23 local unions in Illinois which have been busted from the United Mine Workers of America for participating in unauthorized strikes.
 President Frank Harrington of the Illinois district organization read many documents to prove that the
 strike was an effort to sweep the miners of Illinois into an Organiza-
 tieu known as the Workers Industrial Union favored by the socialist labor party, ana read a circular from the Illinois state committee 10 that party 10 this effect He declared, however, tEc strike had been far from a general strike. that less than 10000 of the 9O,OOO Illinois miners had any time participated in it. and including that until the action of the international and state officials in disciplintng the l recal lcitrant unions was indorsed by ] the convention the united mine work CTS might as well haul down its colors. A number of radical speakers took ] the floor in opposition and the debate ! at times was exceedingly heated.

LEADER ASSERTS RAIDS WILL NOT

Will Keep Up Agitation and Issuing of Literature Country Quiet But
 Determined.

London. Sept. 16-A despatch from Dublin to the Daily News says that although much comment is heard there and in the country districts over Fridays raids on the Sim Fein- CTS and the suppression of the Irish Parliament" the whole country Is quiet. But a spirit of confidence and determination prevails among Sim Feiners, whether they are in or out of office.
 By p-oclaiming the Dail Elreann the government has taken the finch pin out of the cart again." said a prominent Sim Fe.per to the core spondent yesterday. But they have done it often and yet we still go Jog ging along. Neither their latest slip rOr any they contemplate will stop us"
 The raid" the correspondent adds, which was made on the Sim Fein headquarters in Harcourt street, was apparently very thoroughly carried out on documents relating to the at tempt to build up trade between Ire land and America and France, and others dealing with the Dail Eireann To; | were seized, but f7 spite of this I found at headquarters order, cool ness and industry. Every one ap- parently was going on almost uncon- cernedly in finding another linch- pin.
 From a mysterious source one of the chiefs produced for my inspection a copy of some of the literature to be issued when the loan is launched. This literature points out how Ireland suffers financially and commercially, shows, for instance, how badly her fisheries compare with those of Eng land and Scotland and concludes with an appeal to support the loan"
 And what are you going to do now" 1 asked.
 Why. just as we meant to do be fore" came tho reply. Those ap- peaIs will be printed and posted. What has happened may cause little de lay but nothing more"
