A HAPPY FAMILY.
Presidents VIII Patch Up q Truce
Stocks Strong on This Basic

NEW YORK. July 10.-The stock market to
day reflected the growing confidence that the
Presidents in session at Chicago will be able to
cope with all the difficulties which may come
up before them for adjustment and that har-
mony in the Northwest is only . matter Of
time. The market was strong at most all the
way out, and not only was there a liberal cover
ing of shorts, but the buying for the long ac-
count was Of the best quality, the foreigners
responding literally to the encouraging ad-
vices cabled over last evening and this morn
ing. The leading bears are reported to have
bought a line of stocks equaling 25000 shares.
though this may be an exaggeratlon.
The feeling on the street that the harmony
displayed at the meeting of the Presidents
yesterday was valid bull argument was very
strong this morning, and the strength which
Characterised the later dealings yesterday was
still prominent at the opening Of business,
which, although London prices were not quite
up to ours of last evening, was sufficient to open
most Of the leading shares from u to u per
cent higher than they closed last night.
Rumors Of an important scheme TO secure
harmony in the future were circulated and
took the shape that there was to be q syndicate
which would purchase the control Of the Chi
cago Burlington and Northern, and 80 take It
out Of the way ~ disturber Of rates In the

The Potters Decide to Stay Inside of That
Organization.
ESPECIAL TKLEeRAM TO THE D1sPArcH.i
STEUBENvILLE, July 10.-The National
Union Potters' Convention was in secret
session all day. President O'Neil, how
ever, stated to the correspondent that a COM
mittee of three quietly waited upon Mana
ger Donaldson, OF the Steubenville Pottery,
to see if the strike could not be amicably
settled, but that he would listen to no COM
promise, nor recognize their wishes or union.
As result at to-day's meeting boycott
upon the product of the pottery was de-
clared. The officers said it would be en-
forced through the national organization
and locals here and in Canada. Previous
to the adjournment on Friday, however,
every effort will be made to come to an am
icable settlement. This is not probable, as
both sides are firm.
The question of leaving the Knights of
Labor came up for discussion to-day, but
the movement was defeated two to one. A
measure of importance to the West particu-
larly was passed, extending greater powers
to the Executive Board west of the Allie
ghenies, giving it more enlarged powers
over their local and home matters than
formerly, and less accountability to the
Central Board at Trenton. The election of
officers will probably take place tomorrow.
and the convention finally adjourn on Fri

the morning, and as he gradually grew weaker,
his stomach became affected. His appetite
with sour eructarions of gas from his stomach
after eating. and on account of the kidneys not
performing their function properly, his blood
became charged with rheumatic poison. so that
he had much pain about his shoulders and diff
ferent parts Of his body. As he became more
emaciated he began to cough, and he felt much
tightness and weight across his lungs. In

Blackberries and whortleberries are in over

same is true of apples. which are coming in
freely from the South. The movement of pota-
toes is very active, but there has been no ad-
vance in prices. A Liberty street commission
man reports the largest sales of potatoes on
record yesterday. The total was 800 barrels,
and an average of 500 barrels daily this week.
The speculator who bought potatoes is loser
the past week. A loss of 60c per barrel is re-
ported in some instances. A Liberty street

A FARMERS IDEA.
Taxation of Mortgages and the Property
Upon which They Are Based.

A writer in Farm and Ftreside has this to
say upon a subject of general Importance:
aAfter reading the pros and cons regarding
taxation of mortgages, and also the property
they are based on, and never having seen
plan devised that suits me fully, / would like
to suggest one. Taxing both has . tendency, as
you say, to increase the rate Of interest, and I
fnd its injustice offers an excuse to Q large ma
jority for concealment; and when the mortgage
is concealed. It is good pecuniary investment
for the holder that the mortRagor pays in .
Iwould suggest as q remedy for concealment
the taxation of realty only. at its full value.
making the holder Of the realty pay the whole
statute enabling him to indorse ON the
mortgage note such . proportion Of the whole

BULLISH OIL NEWS
Causes n Squirt In Prices, but Falls to Help
Business.

Business.
There was a small boom in values at the Oil
Exchange yesterday, caused by the receipt of
the pipe line reports, which.were decidedly bull
ish. The figures presented by the National
Transit and the Tide Water lines showed de-
creased production during June of about S0O,-
900 barrels. Other small lines may reduce this
somewhat, but not enough to make any mate
rial difference.
August oil opened at 9l5s. where the market
to 925S. but it soon descended from Its high
perch to 9l56, from which, IN the last few
minutes. there was slight rally to 81. at which
changes reported business very slow. Here it
amounted to about 100000 barrels. Owing to
the near approach of July deliveries cash oil is
entirely neglected. September is hardly
