The stock market to-day renewed its advance
and almost everything on the list is materially
higher this evening There was some hesitation
in the forenoon, but later in the day the bullish
feeling became more pronounced, and the up
ward movement met with no setback. London
had a large number of buying orders in this
market this morning, and aters, upon making
this discovery, realized on their long stocks and
afterward made an effort to get the market
down, but new buying was heavy and buyinRs
of stocks very limited, and they again became
buyers in the afternoon. The news of the day
was uniformly favorable, and that from the
corn belt was especially encouraging, while the
prospects of entire harmony among the trunk
lines and graugers roads gave an impetus to
speculation. The bullish feeling ran highest on
Vanderbilts, and several stories were afioat in
regard to negotiations for large blocks of those
stocks, especially Lake Shore, and while the
street believed it is not clear that insiders are
buying more stocks, IL is evident that they are
selling, and the demand is heavy. Many of the
leading stocks this afternoon sold at the high
est prices for months, and notwithstanding lib
eral offerings at times In several of the leaders,
no marked impression could be made upon
them. Lackawanna was subjected to the
heaviest pressure, and a portion of its yester
days advance was lost. The closing was active
and strong at the best prices of the day. The
business was the largest for some time, sales
gereyating 2i7.000 shares. The entire active
list, with a few unimportant exceptions, is
higher. Evansville and Terre Haute rose per
cent Pullman 9, Michigan Central and Texas
Pacific Ia, and others fractional amounts. The
following were the closing quotations:

A FEELING OF REBELLION.
Reading Minors Inclined to Refuse to Go
to Work.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 90 Meetings were
held all over the Reading mining regions
Sunday by the miners, and a decided I'm.
willingness to obey the order to go to work
was manifested. AT Shenandoah 1000 min.
ers first voted TO refuse to resume, but after
ward reconsidered it, and concluded to obey
the order At Pottsvile the miners joint
committee could not come to an agreement.
AT Shamokn 900 strikers were told by the
leaders that they must go to work, but they
took no action.
There is an element among the prominent
miners which is opposed to going to work
until the company takes back the railroad
men, and they are sowing the seeds of rebel
lion, while the committee which agreed with
Corbin is kept busy counteracting their
efforts. Among the business men in the
region the order to go to work is hailed with
joy.
What the strike cost furnishes no end of
speculation. Close calculation, however,
places the loss to the men as follows: Rail
road hands, $l93, 900; miners, 81, $50, 600
Total l,s72 coo The loss to the company
could not be ascertained, but it is estimated
that it will aggregate many times the
amount lost by the men.

10Th sIDzs OF The QUESTION,



PROVIDENCE, II. l., Feb. 20 Tho Com
mercial club held an important meeting Sat
urday night at the Narragansett hotel, 200
guests sitting down to the banquet Those
chiefly distinguished were Hon. r. Q. Mills,
of Texas, chairman OF the house ways and
means committee Hon. W. g. r. Brecken.
ridge, of Kentucky, of the same committee,
and Hon. w. w. Grape. of Massachusetts,,
all Of whom discussed tariff reform.
Mills addressed his remarks chiefly to
the wooden and cotton manufacturers
as representing the chief industries of
the state, and spoke vigorously for
an hour urging free raw material as in the
best interest OF the manufacturer, the labor
or the consumer and the nation. He said
our wool people have wool in their eyes in
stead OF wool on their backs. Under free
wool the farmer obtained the highest price
for his product and as the tariff was put on
and raised from time 10 time the price of
wool continually decreased. This infant
industry, which needed protection in
1924, is at three-score years aud ten still AN
infant in its mothers arms. "But," said Mr..
Mills, a will tell you in confidence. We are
going to free it, and We are not going to re-
move the duty on manufactured goods.
w. w. Grape, of Massachuss SITS dealt with
the question of the surplus, which he would
reduce by cutting Off the internal revenue sys-
tenn The men who are now crying for tariff
reform Carlisle and Mills among them
voted "No" on the propositions to remove
war taxes like the tax on matches Mr.. Mills
had said nothing about cutting of the S5S,
600, 900 duty on SUI gar or the $40 1000, 900 on
Injuries; therefore there would be only STA,
900, 900 from which to reduce Sl00,0 900. In
that case, is the question Of free trade abso-
lutely Irrelevant Mr.. Grape turned the
laugh on Mills by quoting him as saying that
the reduction of tariff made wool higher to
the farmer aud lower to the manufacturer.
Congressman Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
said that ii was simply question of free to-
baeco and free whisky on one side and free
necessares of life and untrammeed CONNER
cial activity on the other
T.. A. Hartshorn, of the American Pro-
tective Tariff League, made sharp speech in
favor of protection, and said that the i'm
portance to the manufacturer of free raw
material had bsan greatly exaggerated.
