the result of hot. dry weather in the

downward. Coin is lower on good
weather, but a good export business
has developed. Beef cattle recelpls
are heavy and Blockers and feeders are
lower at wholesale, while retail prices
are expected to follow. Prime cattle
are, however, reported bringing full
prices. Produce receipts are very
large but prices are on tho whole
quite strong.

it as unnecessary, and issued in the In
terest of the corporations. General
Gnbin denied this and while he ad
mitted that the order was drastic In
its nature, he considered that the sit
uation fully warranted It.

day than on any other day since the
strike began. They were put to work
at No. 4 colliery, where tho coal hat
