LABOR TROUBLES AFFECTING TRADE.

PrrrsBuRGH, May &-Trade In aM
branches has been restricted the past week.
on account OF the unsettled condition OF
labor matters and the unpromisins out
look, caused by the prospect Of . strike
next week of the iron workers and coal
miners. While the indications point to
lockout, however. there is reason to BE-
lieve that it will be Of short duration, and
that in the course Of few weeks at the
farthest the mills will again be in opera
ton. The same trouble 10 experienced
here about this time every year, and II pre-
dictions can be based upon past experisnce
| the strike will be over before the 18th OF
June. It must be admitted, however, that
both manufacturers and iron workers
appear more determined this year than
ever before. The iron and coal trades arc,
as might be expected under the circum-
stances, very dull and depressed. Very
few orders for manufacturer iron are be-
ing received, and the demand for pig iron
is extremely light with prices weak and
fully one dollar lower. The coal ship
.ments by river were l,&Oo, 900 bushels.
Glass IL increasing in demand but rates Aro

account OF reported strikos In the Warren
field. The sales were unusually heavy,
