Wall Street, New York, Sept. O.
Trading was of a pre-holiday char
acter on the curb exchange today,
dealings being smaller than they
had been for some time. The mar
ket was steady with price changes
generally small.
Glen Alden Coal was the leading
feature, advancing to another new
high price. Inter Continental Rub
Der held firm for time, but en-
countered some profit-taking. Gold
wyn Pictures, Cuban Dominican
Sugar, Thinker Roller Bearing and
New Jersey Zinc all were steady.
Motor issues were less active at
prices slightly above Fridays
close. Tobacco Products was cas-
Ter under moderate selling.
Fractional upturns were record
ed in New England Fuel, Southern
States and Ryan Consolidated.
Standard Oil of Indiana was the
most active issue in that group.
while Standard of Kentucky, Inter-
national Petroleum and Atlantic
Lobus was very little changed.
Mining shares and bonds were
comparatively quiet and steady.

WEEKLY GRAIN AND
PROVISION REVIEW

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 2.-Fluctua-
tions in wheat were rapid the past
week, values failing to get far in
either direction. September wheat
dropped sharply at one time on
scattered dealings and went to two
cents under the December. Com
pared with week ago, wheat was
X to III cents lower, corn was a
shade lower to V cents higher, and
oats a shade to " cent off. Lard
showed a loss Of S to 33k cents.
and ribs were unchanged to Is
cents up.
Local sentiment in wheat was
bearish most of the week on &C.
count of the relatively slow foreign
demand and the general depressing
character of European news. Hedg-
ing sales against Spring grain have
been increasing rapidly with farm
ers selling freely. The movement
of both sides of the line however,
has been limited because OF the
transportation situation.
Corn showed considerable resist
ance to selling pressure, and while
declining sharply at one time, raj
lied quickly. While the market av-
eraged lower the first part of the
week, reports of crop damage from
hot and dry weather, and private
crop reports which showed heavy
reduction in the estimated yield as
compared with the governments
August figures tended to give the
market an upward turn. Losses
were said to be heaviest in the west
and southwest. Cash demand was
fairly good and exporters took lib
eral quantities Of grain from the
west. Old corn was sold by the
country rather freely to arrive on
the bulges but shot off on the
breaks. Foreign demand was only
fair.
Oats reflected the action Of corn

RUSSIAN LEADERS
OPTIMISTIC OVER
COUNTRY'SFUTURE

Moscow.-Soviet Russian leaders
are advancing reasons, easily I'M
derstandable within Russia but
probably difficult Of comprehen-
sion abroad, as to why they believe
Russia. after the coming harvest,
can get along and show economic
improvement without the aid of
foreign governments.
They make no secret that indus
trially the country can show very
little life without huge credits, but
they say that Russia is primarily
an agricultural country, and that
the requirements of the Russian
peasant are probably smaller than
those of any other people except
the Chinese or Hindus. The peas
ants comprise at least 10 per cent
of the country's population.
An American, accustomed to the
standard of living in the United
States. might consider it a terrible
condition were someone to tell him
that 100000 Russian people had
no shoes. The Russian, familiar
with his own country, would shrug
his shoulders and say: What of
it?' He would remark that at least
50,000,000 Russians never had
shoes and probably would no:
know what to do with them if they
did. The peasants go barefoot in
summer. use homemade straw san.
dals in the autumn and felt boots OF
village manufacture in the winter
1t is similar with most articles
of wear and household use which
American civilization considers es.
sential to comfort. If the Russian
peasant had plenty to eat-and
above all things he prefers black
bread-and if he has few rags tt
cover him and a hut to shelter him
he is as vel off as he was before
4 the war.

the courts but the department of
justice has been working on exact
ly this point for many weeks and
feels prepared to meet the issue.
The effect at any rate Of the issu-
ance of the injunction will be to
interfere seriously with the smooth
operation Of the strike and it Is
hoped by the government will
bring an end to the reign of terror
which has been going on in so
many sections Of the country.
1894 Precedent.
Three excerpts from messages
which have passed between depart
ment of justice and its special at
torneys in Chicago in 1894 may
serve to illustrate the formula
which may have to be followed in
the present strike. Under date of
July 3, 1894, the United States
marshal at Chicago wired:
when the injunction was grant
ed yesterday a mob of from two to
three thousand held possession of
a point in the city near the cross
ing OF the Rock Island by other
roads where they had already
ditched a mail train and prevented
the passing of any trains whether
mail or otherwise. l read the in
junction writ to this mob and COM
manded them to dispense. The
reading of the writ met with no
response except jeers and boots
On the same day Edwin Walker,
special attorney for the govern
ment wired from Chicago:
II am advised that Debs, him
self gave directions that the writs
OF injunction and process of court
should be utterly ignored. 1t is
impossible for me at present to
make sufficient proof of this fact
Tor the support Of motion for
commitment for contempt but be-
lieve that In q few days l will be
in possession Of sufficient evidence
and IL succeed in this, Debs and
the others will be sent to Jail for
contempt. and will remain there
until the strike is ended
> Two days later Mr.. Walker
wired:
1--WE have now sufficient evidence
at hand for indictment of Debs and
all the leaders of the association
conspiracy. Several indictments
will be returned and l am Of the
opinion that the bail required OF
the defendants will be. SO large in
the aggregate that they will not be
able to give sufficient security. We
shall be able to show that this con.
spiracy has extended over the en-.
tire northwest as well as the Pa.
ciflc coast, and through Michigan
Indiana and Ohio, and / firmly be.
lieve that the result OF these trials
and the punishment of the leaders
will be 30 serious that a genera
strike upon any railroad will no
again occur for . series Of years.
assume OF course that congress.
will not by legislation put further
limitations upon the jurisdiction
Of the federal courts but on tn,
contrary sincerely hope this juris
diction will be strengthened rathe
than impaired"
But Mr.. Walkers hopes were no
fulflled. Congress- did pass tn
Clayton act exempting labor union
from prosecution under the Sher
man antitrust Law and at the en-,
Of - years, big strike has com
again. VIII history repeat itsel
