Continued from First Page)

The freight mbarGo which was ordered yesterday on all but perishabl pro- ducts continued in effect. causing concern to industrial centers in New England served by the railroad. There was no indication early today that the shopmen were preparing to re- sumo work, although orders to re- turn had been issued from national headqua rters
 With the stopping of local trains today, a total of 102 New Haven pas senger trains have now beeng discon- tinued.

WILSON'S ADDRESS
 CAUSES GOOD MARKET
Excellent Report of Crops From Over Country-KeSult Of Presidents
 Message.


Chicago, Aug. 9.-Every staple in which there are dealings on the board of trade rose decidedly in price today. Whatever effect to the contrary might have been expected from the address President Wilson to congress in re- gard to the high cost of living was entirely obscured by the opposite in fiuence of the government crop re- port which was issued shortly before he spoke.
 So impressed were traders on changes here today with the unex- peCted magnitude of the crop losses shown during July that the presi- dents views appeared to be virtually ignored as a market factor. Price changes turned inItead almost en- tirely on the exceptional severity of recent crop damage, estimated at 7.5 per cent. for July alone The July cut of 221 100000 bushels in estimated wheat production was said to be the most drastic on record.
 Extreme upturn of cets bushel in the value of corn and of $t75 a barrel for pork resulted. December corn jumped to $1.54 and September pork to $47.75.

 0,OOO-Employers Deny It.

Chlcago, Aug. 9.-Between 6O,oOO and 'O,O0O men will be out on strike at the Union stock yards by tonight should the union leaders statement that the Walkout, started yesterday, would continue today prove correct. The strike started over a demand by the men that the guards placed around the plant be withdrawn. White men said they had no objection to Worklng with negroes if they were union men but objected to working with non-union men and particularly under guard.
 Policemen and deputy sheriffs were placed in the yards on Thursday when several thousand negroes, out while the race riots were at their height returned to work. Soldiers on guard outside the yards were withdrawn yes terday.
 Labor leaders claimed that 36.OOO employees of the yards have already quit work but the packing house rep resentatlves say less than half that number are on strike.

PROHIBITION WILL BRING
"MO0NSHINE" INTO ITS OWN
This Is View of j. sidney Peters, Dis
GUESSING Eject ON virginia
Of New ItcEImc.

According TO a statement made rcs-
terdaT by Prohibition Commissioner j.
sidney Peters. the effects OF national
prohibition viii be far-reachinS and
viii have direct effect upon the
activities OF bootlcgEers in Virginia:
He asserts however. That national
prohibition does not necessarily mean
the end Of the boot!cgGer. Although
his source Of supply was suddenly cut
of, the commissioner believes that
moonshlnc whisky will TO some extent
take the place OF the bottled in bond
varieties.
In statement; yesterday ne said:
I'm the past. since Virginia went
dry. wh!sky brought into the state by
automobiles. trains and boats WAS
largely that marked bottled III bond. "
This guarantee by the government in
aured its sale among men who would
rot nave ordinarily trusted liquor ped
died by boot!eggers. But now there
Will be no more bottled-in bond with
the result that men purchasing whisky
from a bootlcgger VIII be reduced 70
trusting to white LIQUID. without
government guarantee.
"lt is known TO my department that
there has been stored by NirSin!ans
IN Baltimore considerable quantities OF
whisky with the hope that II can later
bc brought into Virginia. i number
OF such cases are known and my de-
partmcnt viii keep them under strict
surveillance"
