Wheat--It is expected that the Depart
ment Of Agriculture Will issue an esti-
mate of the amount of wheat marketed
up to OCT. 1 This estimate if issued will
have considerable bearing upon the imme-
date action of price Just at the present
moment, the holding attitude of the
Southwestern farmer furnishes the key
urgency in the foreign demand, but there
is sufficient doing to necessitate bidding
of higher premiums. Inasmueh as the
present market Is predicated upon the
attitude of the producer rather than upon
any broad and urgent demand, it Is well
to be open to conviction on either side
Corn-Strength in corn has been n re-

sufficiently large to create any siren 9Th
In the cash markets, premiums for eur,

CLAIMS UNION
LABOR IGNORED
Machinists Union Lays Charge
Against Republican Officials.

Declaring that the members of the
Marion County board of commissi pers
have ignored the request of Machinist
Uion Local Nc, 161, to engage union
machinists to repair and put into shape
the voting machines to be used at the
coming election, NJ r. Alexander, bust
ness agent of the machinists' union OF
this city. today was prepared to appear
again before the commissioners to ascer-
tain definitely why the Republican mem
bers of the board were ignoring union
labor.
81 have asked the county commissioners
whether they were going to use union
machtnists as they have done in the past,
but they told me that the contract was
let to o. +. Williamson and for me to
see him." said Alexander.
Continuing he said, II went to VIII
Hanson and he told me that he had moth
ing to do with engaging meh, as he took
those sent TO him by the commissioners,
but on going back to the commissioners
they told me that Williamson engaged all
of his men.
"They are just passing the buck, that
is all there is to 1t, as we generally place
about twenty-five men, union men, from
the machinist local to work and repair
the machines.
"At present there are several colored
men working on the machines at place
near the old workhouse," he said.
1t is understood that Williamson is q
friend" of County Auditor Leo X. Fes-
Ter and, it is pointed out that political
workers are being put to work on the
machines.
Fesler claims that Williamson had
charge Of the machines two years ago.
Alexander claims that his men are ex-
perts in their lines and are qualified to
work on the voting machines to assure
the working order OF every machine.
Fesler claims that there is no aeed OF
expert help" at this time.

(By Thomson & McKinnOn


While we had some activity in a few
issues the market as a whole was rather
quiet, due mainly to the absence of
many traders who have extended the
usual weekend to include tomorrow's
holiday.
What news we had was mainly bearish,
including the most recent financial
trouble in Cuba, a moderately higher
money market here aud continued de-
preston in many lines Of business.
Each day recently professional traders
have concentrated attacks on few stocks
at time, with a view Of exposing the
markets weak spot and expecting there
by to bring in a renewal of liquida-
ton.
Notwithstanding this the market has
given Il fSIrls good account of itself
1t is tue that values receded where
selling pressure was concentrated, but
it seems unreasonable to anticipate any
general liquidation at. the present low

The general industrial situation is far

prics cutting is anticipated
