A FREE TRADE LEADER,

William l.. Scott the Pennsyva
mia coal king and democratic con
gresham is said to be 80 indignant
at the threat of the labor organiza.
tions to boycott him and his Gus
toners that he has refused employ,
ment at his Spring Valley coal
mines to those miners who, during
the late lockout, distributed food,
clothing and medicine to the sick
and starving, and threatened with
loss Of employment those now work
ing In the mines who continue or
begin to give such relief.
This Is the man who said: 1--WE
(capitalist can control the working
man only SO long as he eats up to-
day what he earns tomorrow. "
This is the leader of the free trade
forces on the floor of the 50th con-
gress, In the sense Of intelligent,
deliberate leadership for Roger @.
Mills, coming from country tow n
In remote southwestern state, knew
comparatively little about the ex-
extent OF our industrial sys-
tenn or the nature and cir
cumstances of those employed
by 1t. This Is the man who is already
plotting to carry the Pennsylvania
delegation to the National Demo
cratic convention In 1892 on the
free trade issue, and to lay II at the
feet Of Grover Cleveland. And he
talks about Oppressive taxation"

indicating that the covering yesterday was ma
terial.
The outside buying stimulated investment
by the room traders in the long side, and the
reaction was due more to realizing by this ele-
nent thanto anything else. Chicago Gas was
depressed at f1rst on reports that plan for the
readjustment Of the company's affairs had
fallen through, but q complete rally occurred
later in the day. A report of the business OF
the Missouri Pacific Railroad for the year
ending June 80 was published by one Of the
news agencies. and which it was claimed was
official, that the company had failed to earn
even the fixed charges for that time by some
thing less than 100000. The publication may
have some little influence upon the stock, but
extreme fiuctuation for the day was only u per
eentRpd it closed only 1s per cent lower than
last evening.
The only activity in the railroad list was in
Lackawanna, which was stronger, but moved
up only fraction. A report that the deal in
Tennessee Coal was over for thespresentsresult-
ed in some selling of that stock, and 1t lost 2
per cent, but recovered i. The most important
movements, however. were in Memphis and
Charleston. which spurted up per cent on the
decision Of the Supreme Court of Alabama,
prohibiting the Eastern from voting the major
ity of the Memphis and Charleston stock which
IL holds. and throwing the control OF the COM
pany to the minority stockholders.
There was renewed selling OF the Chicago and
East Illinois stocks, especially by Boston par
ties, and the common dropped nearly per
cent, most of which was recovered, but the rest
scored a drop of 81 per cent. only of which
was regained. The general list was quiet to
dull throughout. Opening prices advanced
slightly but the gains were afterward gener-
ally lost, and the market closed dull and steady
at close to opening figures.
Railroad bonds were dull and presented no
feature OF interest, while the tone OF the deal
ings was generally steady. A few marked
declines we're scored, among the inactive issues,
but they are few in number.

Country Pr0dHce-JObbing Prices.
While there is nothing like boom in produce
lines, Fridays trade was an improvement on
what we have been having for few days past.
The disturbing element of markets has been
the soft weather. A few frosty mornings would
immensely stimulate trade. Choice grades OF
dairy products are very firm at quotations.
Soft weather has given black eye to game and
poultry trade. Tropical fruits are also de-
pressed by the same atmospheric influences.
Potatoes are a shade irmer. owing to light re-
ceipts. Sweet potatoes are very firm. Other
vegetables are quiet. Apples should now be at
their best. But for some reason markets are
sluggish. Supply of fresh country eggs is not
up to demand.
