CIGAR MAKERS' STRIKE The Reslstencla Union Men at Tamp GoOnt. Tampa, Fla., July 26. The Resisten on cigar makers walked out on a general strike today. Noon was set as the time for receiving the answer from the manufacturers and this was received unfavorably. It had been agreed that the day's work was to be completed and all material worked up. The men employed at F. Garcia & Brothers, Bustillo Brothers and Diaz & La Paz, and Parsons walked into the streets at noon and did not finish the day, as agreed. This morning El Arte factory was threatened by a letter which said that if the international men were not out and the factory closed by noon, armed men would appear and throw them bodily into the streets- A guard of deputies was placed at the factory at noon. A small crowd gathered in the street about the factory and two wo men" raised some excitement by trying to get their husbands out, but, beyond this, there was no sign of trouble. TO REINFORCE THE STRIKERS National Tube Men at McKeesport to Strike Today. Pittsburg, July 26. A telegram from McKeesport late tonight says: It was reported on good authority in McKees port tonight that the employees of the Boston Iron and Steel Works and the National Rolling Mill at McKeesport, both plants of the National Tube Com pany, will come out on strike tomorrow. It is rumored in McKeesport tonight that If" the Boston plant and the . na tional rollng mill come out the entire plant of the National Tube Company will follow "their lead and also come out. The plant employs 8,000 men, and If this force comes out, the industries of McKesport will be practically clos ed. The following radical statement comes from Mingo Junction, Ohio, to night: Dr. W. J. O'Connell, mayor of this town, said today: "I am with the Amalgamated men in this fight to the end, with my head, my heart, my mus cle and my money. If it ever comes to the point in this town the municipal officers will not stop the Amalgamated men from doing picket or any other le gal acts to keep men from coming in here and taking their places."

To Pay Soldiers Expense "While In . Camp. (Special to The Messenger.) Raleigh. N. C. July 26. Governor says he will specially urge the next leg islature to make provisions for subsis tence of troops while in camp. He says this certainly is due the troops, that the lattexare always ready to obey the call to duty and never flinch and that they ought to be put to no expense for food while in camp. An inmate of the soldiers home named Petty died there today. - The Coffee Market. New .'York. July 27. Spot Rio mar ket quiet; No. 7. invoice 5. -The cof fee market started steady in tone, with Tirlrs tinrhanered to S DOintS higher. and on foreign and some locay buying displayed a tolerably firm undertone during the first hour. More bulish Eu ropean market news than expected off set the effect of heavy Brazilian re ceipts and weakness in Brazilian mar kets. Later in the morning the mar ket weakened under room selling for both accounts and closed easy at un changed prices to a decline of 10 points. Total sales were 29,500 bags. aaaaaaaaaaaaaBBBaaaaBaaJBaaa.aBaaa-aaaaaa-BaBaa ew York Stock Market New York, July 27. Not much com ment is required upon today's stock market. The same conditions of apathy and inertness that have been gaining force all the week prevailed. Trading was of unimportant dimensions and the price movements were without signifi cance. The public was entirely unrep resented in the market, and the meager trading represented only the effqrts of professional operators of the smaller class to Induce some movement oi prices that would offer them a day's profits, whether on the upgrade or the downgrade. The dealings in the Unit ed States Steel stocks, and; to a less ex tent, in the grangers and Pacifies, over shadowed the rest of the market. The steel stocks were strong on the same kind of operations as those of yester day, seemingly based on a belief in an early triumph of the corporation in the strike contest. The common stock rose an extreme lrA and the preferred 2. . The corn carrying roads were bene fitted by the weakness of the corn market and reports of the breaking of the western drought. A number of minor stocks moved apparently from individual causes. The American loco motive stocks and international power were sharply depressed. The Canadian Pacifies subsidiary roads responded to the recent strength in that stock. The Tobacco stocks, People's Gas, Amalgamated Copper, American Cotton Oil, the Virginia Carolina Chemical stocks and a few others were notably strong. Traders sold the market on the increase in loans reported by the bank statement, but they induced no follow ing and covered their shorts before the close, which was steady at the recovery. The week just passed has given pret ty clear evidence of the culmination for the time at least, of the speculation for the decline in stocks and forthe rise in grains which has been going on in the various markets during the whole of July. The effect on the stock mar ket has been feverish and irregular movements of prices,, with narrowing fluctuations and decreasing volume of business. According to the invariable rule in speculative movements of any dimensions, this one has overdone it self. The consequence has -been reac tion from the recently prevailing ten dency. Stocks have recovered and grains have relapsed. The beginning of this week in a small way of the transfer of currency to the interior to move the crops calls atten tion to the fact that recent liquidation In the stock market had as its object preparation to meet this requirement. and n'ot to supply means for a renewed speculation in stocks. Foreign money markets look for a demand for gold from New York in the autumn, but as to Its ability to meet It, authorities are not agreed. The speculative outlook from the present level of prices is thus seen to be much mixed. Business in railroad, bonds has been on a small scale, except in a few issues that are related in value to stocks by convertible rights. United States refunding 2's have been advanced i per cent, on call for the week. The total sales of stocks today were 247,000 shares. ' The Dry Goods Market New York, July 27. The drygoods market closes the week with a dull business only in cotton goods depart ments. There are no signs of -stock ac cumulating in any direction, and prices are maintaing for both staple and fancy lines. Printcloths are inactive at unchanged prices. American cotton yarns are quieter than last week, but prices are steady. Worsted yarns are steady with moderate demand. Wool en yarns are quiet at previous prices. Jutes are dull and barely steady. Cotton Futures. New York, July 27. The cotton mar ket opened firm and 5 to 8 points higher on bullish English cables, a very unfa vorable review of the wreek south by The Chronicle and improved accounts from southern spot markets. Soon af ter the call the pit sold for profits and caused the market to waver for a time. Under this selling, October went off to 7.33, January to 7.41 and March to 7.45. The trade was bullish at heart, but having fresh in mind recent trying ex periences on tle long side, were slow to reenter the market. Foreign inter ests bought the near months quite ex tensively, the south was disposed to sell some on the rise and Wall street took profits on moderate amounts of January. Speculation was very tame, at best, and reflected extreme caution on both sides. The weather reports showed scattering showers over most of the belt, but no hard rains. Private crop reports were unfavorable as a whole. Receipts at the ports continued light, while clearances for export were disposed to increase. The visible sup ply during the past week lost nearly 200,000 bales. European spinners were again reported as working under almost bare poles in the-matter of supplies, but were now bidding freely for raw cotton. . The market for futures closed steady, with prices net 10 points lower on July, but 4 to : 10 points higher: on later months. - " taa III Wl m WILMINGTON MARKETS Wilmington, July 27.

XjbI THE WORTH CO RELIEF FROM THE liROUGHT A Slight Improvement in Some Sec tionsTemperature a Little Lower Washington. July 26. The past twenty-four hours probably have been the most favorable to the states of the corn belt since the existing hot wave began nearly forty days ago. Rains, gener ally light in amount have fallen in western Kansas, western Nebraska, 1 southwestern Missouri, central Iowa. Arkansas and a little in Oklahoma and the prospects seem to be favorable for a continuation tomorrow of more num erous showers In the section covered by these states and territories. On Sunday showers are looked for In northern Illinois and northern Indiana. Still there has been no general rain, of which the crops stand in so much need and there are no immediate pros pects of any. On the whole the weather bureau officials here regard the situ ation as somewhat improved. Inciden tal to the rains, the temperatures offi cially reported today were somewhat lower than on yesterday evening. How ever they range from 92 to 100 in the corn belt. Conditions will remain practically the same in the drought section during Saturday- and Sunday and the weather will continue very hot with the possi bility of relief from scattered thunder storms.
