15O, 900. The leaders express a determination
to press their claims and march through the
streets until the demands Of the dockmen shall
have been granted.

generally quieted down. In the vicinity of the
st. Pancras depot, however, there is still some
excitement. Many coal beavers are resuming
work at an advance in wages. which course Is

police escort They divided the chains and
traces, compelling the drivers TO return In

scene and started for the coal yards.
THE COMPANIES URoED TO YIELD.
The wharfngers, shippers and merchants are
pressing the dock companies to yield to the
strikers. They declare that the dock compa-
nies, by their action, are driving trade to other
ports. The companies complain of the pressure
that is being brought upon them TO recede
from their position, and their representatives
promise to answer those that are importuning
them to settle with the men later. There are
more men at work toda, than at any time since
the strike was inaugurated The mail steamers
are being loaded slowly. The tea car men
have resumed work. The prospects for set
tlement are more hopeful. Several ships with
cargoes Of sugar are lying in the Thames and
at Greenock. The sugar was all bought up to-
day in fifteen minutes at pence advance and
sent by train to London.
