RICHMOND TOBACCO HARKEr.

JANUARY ~, 1888
We had about $4,000 pounds Of loose on the
market to-day, and prices were most satisfac-
tory, running up TO 1874 and iSc. for good dark
Powhatan-county leaf, while some Tugs sold up
to &C., and primings at 81 and over. The average
at one warehouse (Shockoe) was about double
last years at same date-namely, t.i5 against
$3.50; Tugs sold at s450at5.o0 to-day for good
quality. The West Virginia Drights were tested
again to-day az auction, and prices wore high
with spirited bidding, though nothing nne or
extra was offered. Very lew packages we're
taken In. The best sold at 40c., lowest CSC. IL
ia evident good and fine color viii sell high. and
buyers seem more willing TO put up with other
imperfections OF leaf TO get good color. New
western types sent here as samples OF last
weeks sales show very high western markets In
new dark, and will stimulate bids on Virginia
grades. Our market for all grades Of old and
new is still too low. aud must keep advancing
and we note elready much stronger feeling IN
all kinds, with no little speculative buying

The pone and british pilgrims.

By Anglo-American cable to the Dispatchl
ROME, January 10.-The Pope to-day
received the British pilgrims, who were
presented by the Duke of Norfolk. The
Pope, replying to al address presented
to him by the pilgrims, said he felt
grateful for the interest Queen Victoria
took in her Catholic subjects and prayed
for her prosperity with that OF her ma
ton, whom he loved and admired. He
hoped for the restoration OF peace be-
tween the different parts OF the kingdom,
and that the irritating questions which
now divide them would be settled and
reason and equity take their place.
In the course Of his reply the Pope
asked the Bishops present for counsel ss
to what he could DO for the good of so
important a nation. One of the Bishops
mentioned the proposed new education
law. The Pope answered that he
would like for them before leaving Rome
TO draw up definite proposals on the
subject, and he concluded g hope
something may soon be done. l have
already alluded to the subject IN my
letter to the Queen. "
The British pilgrims presented fl,6OOtc

The Reading STRIKE.
fBy telegraph 70 Ihe DIspatch.l

PHILADELPHIA, January 1O.-One OF
the Reading strikers at Norristown last
night attacked an engineer upon his To-
connective and knocked him down with a
coupling pin and it took three men to
drive the rioter from the engine and ar
rest him. He is now locked up awaiting
trial
There was no meeting of the General
Executive Board of Knights OF Labor to-
day, because only three could be got to-
gether and it requires four to constitute
a quorum. Barry, Aylensyorth, and
Secretary Hayes are here. McGuire,
Carlton, and Bailey are moving aboutthe
country and cannot be found promptly.
If one Of them should appear tonight
the formalities preceding n meeting
would require another days delay.
About 125 cars of coal passed down the
Reading road to-day, all from individ-
ual mines. Such OF these mines as ship
over the Reading road have a capacity
of $50 cars per day but some OF 1t Is
dropped along the road before reaching
Reading. Several offers, some as high
as 20 per cent. above the December
basis, have been offered by owners of
individual mines, but their men refused
il coal were to pass over the Reading
road. None of the Schuylkill miners
have rs yet experienced the eli
feet of the strike in a financial way.
There is still due them two weeks pay,
which they will get Saturday. The
company will distribute then among
the miners over S3JO,O0O.
PHILADELPHIA, January 10.-Late
developments bring an early settlement
of the Reading railroad difficulties
entirely within the range Of probability.
Ii is learned that General-Aianager ).
B. Whiting, Of the coal and iron com
pany, held quite = lengthy conference
with General-Alsnager Mcleod and
other Reading officials of high rank to-
day. and although all OF those concerned
are extremely reticient as to what trans
spired, the belief is generally enter
tanned that preliminary steps were taken
looking to settlement within a short
time either by compromise or arbltra'
ton.
PoTTsvLLE, PA, January 10.-ThC
most important action in the strike situa
ton to-day was the formation OF com
mittee of leading mercantile men OF the
country to wait upon President Corbir
and urge an arbitration. Pottsyille, to

Failing OGin Coke shipments.

10y Telegraph 10 the DloP"V"hI
PITTSBURGH, January l0.-On account
Of the great falling off in coke ship
ments within the past month coke opera
tors have been compelled to close down
their ovens two days week to prevent
an over-stocked market. A few months
ago operators complained of scarcity OF
cars, but at present they have more cars
than they have use for The cause OF
the reduction in the demand OF coke is
the shutting down of rail-mills.
1t is stated that in the struggle now in
progress between the steel-rail manufac-
turers and railway managers the latter
decided not to purchase any rails until
the price vas reduced to $50 per ton.
The rail manufacturers still demand from
s33 to S35 per ton, and upon one pre-
text after another have closed down the
mills one by one, some to make repairs,
etc, until to-day nearly all of the steel
rail mills of the country are idle.
