Heavy Receipts of Beef Cattle.
August closed with jobbing activity
apparent iy at its height in the northern
half of the rutinlry and the total vol
ume of the month's operations prub
a'.dy In excess of any similar period In

progiess, though wanner, forcing
weather Is nceile.l to put I". beynnl
reach of lUimiige from Irn:. At fie
South the annual diminution of cot
ton crop couilltlcns has developed as
the result of hot. dry weather In the
southern half of the belt.
Other farm produce tends to drift
dowi ward. Corn is lower on good
weather, but a good export business
has developed. Beef cattle receipts
nre heavy and Blockers and feeders are
lower at wholesale, while retail prices
are epccted to follow. Prime cattle
are, however, reported bringing full
prices. Produce receipts are very
large but prices are on tho whole
quite strong.
Pry goods Jobbing Is active at Now

better tone, aided materially by the
strength of cotton. Print cloths are

GENERAL GOBIN'S ORDER. 1
Situation Generally Quieter at Tam
aqua and Lansford.
Tamaqua, Pa., Sept. 1. The wort
o; the strike b aders in cautioning theii
men that violence would be met witt
bullets from the troops has had 1U
effect.
Saturday, outside of a flurry at Sum
mit Hill, where strikers surrounded
the homo cf a non-union man and made
a wild demonstration, nothing ot ai
untoward rature occurred.
At Lansford, however, there appear!
to be a deep undercurrent of dissats
faction that would require little tc
surge it into the riotous condition thai
existed until lately, when General Go
bin's strenuous order produced quiet.
The strike leaders are loud In theli
denunciation of the order, and brand
it as unnecessary, and issued in the In
terest of tho corporations. General
Gcbln denied this and while he ad
mitted that the order was drastic in
its nature, he considered that the sit
uation fully warranted it.
More men reported for work Satur
day than on any other day since the
strike began. They were put to work
at No. 4 colliery, where the coal has
been mined for the past week.
A leading official of the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation company admitted thai
1,00ft tons of coal are being mined and
shipped dally. He said that Monday
would see still more men at work.
They will be put to work at No. 8 col
liery. This colliery has been In opera
tion several weeks, washing coal from
a nearby bank.
On Monday, an effort to mine coal
here will be made. In this manner it
Is expected that In the course of a
week or so every colliery In tho Pan
ther Cnek valley will bo working.
