Lewis, president of he United Mine Workers of America jgarding the strike now in pro- :: ress in the Illinois field. Any settlement of the Illinois * ;rike which would modify the basic iterstate agreement under which le miners of the central field are ow working would result in action the national officers to enforce an v nmediate shutdown of all the bi iminous mines, involving a strike ^ f two hundred and ten thousand' * s ten, Mr. Lewis said. e Mr. Lewis declined to amplify his a ^atement declaring that he considred it self-explanatory. g SPRINGS COTTON LETTER " c The July option sold yesterday at 3.75. This high price was due to har- s tor strike conditions, which prevent- f d cotton reaching warehouses in s ime for inspection and delivery on a uly contracts, and compelled sellers r o settle July sales with buyers at t heir own figures. t A+ fr'ho cnmo Hmo *Via + -TuNr ancing, the Fall and Winter posi- \ ions sold cff sharply on continued t rood weather reports, and a rumor a hat the National Ginners' Condition t leport was around 76.

Yoi rcf 1VI x o ook is excellent, and points to be:ween twelve and a half and thirteen nillion bales, but we must keep in Find that next month, August is apt :o be a critical one for this crop, and considering the resent break in prices ,ve advise a cautious attitude on the selling side for the present. Our Southern friends inform us ;hat the growing crop on account of ligh priced labor, fertilizer, etc, is )ound to cost above 25 cents, and n many cases as high as thirty cents t pound to produce. The general discount at which the spring months are selling make them ook very attractive in comparison vith the Fall months, and, for the noment, we rather prerer moderate mrchases of these months at present >rices and on a scale down. Cotton Seed Oil. The Census report recently issued ,t showed that up to j oOth, there were 326,000,000 louads 01 refined cotton seed oil in he hands of dealers and refiners ompared to 188,000,000 pounds for he same period last year. Upon the issuance of this report he market has appeared unsettled, vith a tendency toward lower levels. Cotton seed oil is now selling well 4- ?r ? J rtriuw uie uuai ui piuuuuuun, aiiu hpuld prices wqrk lower it is "belleyd that foreign inuiry >vill make its ppearance on a lower scale. Stocks of fats in Italy, Norway, Sweden and Denmark are excej)tionlly low, and it is thought that present levels -will induce purchases of otton seed oil by those countries. The oil market has declined over ix cents a pound since May, antf we eel that the pendulum has over wung itself. Present prices have imply discounted every bearish argu nent, and as spot oil at present quoations can only be sold st a loss to he producer, we feel that the refinng trade will lend every assistance n an effort to rebuild prices in order hat they may disose of their holdings it a price nearer the cost of roduc-j ion. Upon decided breaks we would avor purchases of Septemoer or Ocober under 13 cents, with the view if increasing holdings upon a scale lown. Springs & Co. I :OR SALE?One carload Galvanized Roofing.
