NEw lonK, Dec. li.-The most import.
ant event Of the week IN the financial
world, the failure Of the Panama Canal,
has not as yet boon felt In this country.
The amount Of securities held here is not
large, and there Is a general belief that the
French Government will be obliged 10 do
something 10 avert widespread disaster.
But II eau do nothing TO make perma.
nently valuable the the vast amount OF
securities issued, ap' ANY French lossos

markets elsewhere. The supply Of money
~ nll parts OF the country Is 10 large aud
the heavy disbursements OF january are
40 near at hand that there Is an unusual
feeling Of confidence. The bank cloarings
for the finst week Of December exceed
those OF last year by rs per cent, which
implies large volume Of present bust
ness. The gains outside Of New York in.
cludo oven southern sections In which
there has been most depression.
Reports from Memphis still indicate
that there Is no improvement, the cotton
returns from Arkansas. and Mississippi
being unlayornblc. Throughout tie
Northwest improvement Is felt, except ut a
few points where Wild speculation and
oycrtrading last year did most mischief.
In hardware thcro some disposition to
purchase, and expectation OF higher prices
Is noticed at Cleveland.
Cutting Of rail rates demoralizcs bust.
ness ut Denver and doubtless cmbairasscs
ut many other points, but the general
tenor Of reports Is decidedly favorable.

rcspondenco between the general executive

"Will you kindly say whether or not
You will meet n committee Of the general
executive board OF the knights of Labor
for the purpose Of investigating, and, II
possible, settling the trouble existing be-
tween the Philadelphia q Reading Rail

To this President Corbin rcplicsi

there IL nothing can be made the subject

that he has turned tho boards request

treated. Subsequently the railroads, by
annoyances of all kinds, crushed out u great
many operators and secured control Of
the others. From the time the "long
strike" occurred, in which the men were
beaten, there had been constant complaints
that the established Reading scale was vio-
lated to the injury Of the miners. Mr.
Brumm denied that the miners were COM
bining with the railroad men, and said that
while the latter were in the wrong at first
the blame of refusing 20 arbitrate rested
upon the railroad officials. After the
first interview with Supt. Sweigert,
said Mr.. Brumm, the representatives OF
the men had attempted, they said, 10 send
kilograms declaring the strike of and or
dering the miners back TO work, but the
Western Union Telegraph company, which
TO considerable extent was controlled by
the Reading company, had refused to send
some mess cgcs and delayed others; and
when. in consequence, many of the men
at distant points did not return TO work,
the company had the next day laughed in
the strikers faces.
The hearing will he continued tomorrow
