First Prices Lower Than on Friday, but

New YORK, June 1.-The foreign advices over
the holiday, including the conferences at the
Bank of England, together with the late
weakness Of all the stocks which enjoy
an international MARKET conspired to
make an unsettled feeling in the stock
market, and first prices were oil ma
terially lower than the closing figures of Fri
day, the losses being generally from u to "a
per cent. St. Paul and Union Pacific were not only
the most active stocks, but also the weakest,
the former after opening down at 63a de-
clining to 621s. while Union Pacific was down
u at 45A at the opening and afterward de-
clined to A. Lackawanna, Louisville, Bur-
lington and Atchison were in the
second rank In point of activity
cline of Louisville on Friday preventing it be-
ing in the front rank this morning The rest
of the list we're generally quiet, but lost large
fractions, and such stocks as Rock Island, Chi
cago gas, G. C. C. and st. L. were all at
least per cent below Fridays final
oped partial cessation Of the pressure to sell,
and while there was little recovery in prices,
less activity was seen. The market remained
weak in tone, however, and at II o'clock it was
fairly active and weak at the lowest prices
reached.
stock market after II o'clock was very quiet,
except for st. Paul and Union Pacific, but q
better tone marked the trading for time and
small fractions were gained in all the active
stocks, which in some instances were
sufficient to bring the prices up to those Of the
opening. The progress made was small in the
extreme, however, and the dealings were
devoid Of feature throughout the hour. The
market at noon was fairly active again and
steady to firm, generally at small fractions
better than the lowest figures.
Silver opened at g714; highest sale, 971k; low
est sale, 9716; last sale, 97la.

DARBY's MEN CALLED OUT,
The Union Executes a Flank Movement and
Captures . Dozen of His Printer.


Captures Dozen of His Printers.
At 1890 today Mr.. John L. Kennedy and Mr..
Frank Padgett the president and secretary of
Columbia Typographical Union, 1Ol, walked
into the Job printing Office of Mr.. Rufus Darby,
and in ten minutes half of Mr.. Darby's COM
positors had put on their coats and walked out
1t was the second edition Of the strike of last
March when all the compositors in job printing
Offices struck for hours and higher pay, the
Darby Office being the only one to hold out
against the demands Since that time the fight
has been carried on quietly, but with deter
mination on both sides, and the walk
out today is tho latest move on the checker
board. By the hrst strike Mr.. Darby lost
twenty-five men whose places he filed with
non-union men and continued to run as usual.
At simple signal today from President Ken
nedy twelve of these recruits laid down
their sticks and it was seen that the dozen had
been influenced by the arguments so plenti-
union. Eleven men remained at their cases
and Mr.. Darby's little army has been about
evenly divided.
NOW ON STRIKE ALLOWANCE.
The men who have gone out have become
regular members OF the typographical union
and are to be considered as on a strike, receiv-
ing the weekly allowance Of 81 per week for
unmarried and So for married men. The
work Of converting them to the union has gone
on steadily since TIE first strike and every
effort has been made to gain the desired end.
The men did not leave Mr.. Darby singly or by
pairs as they joined the union forces but re-
manned at the cases, the leaders hoping by
one grand coup to carry the entire force
out at once and end the matter. This morning
it was thought that enough of the non-union
men had been converted to cripple the Office
and it was determined to order the men out.
CONFERENCE THIS MORNING.
Messrs. Kennedy and Padgett this morning
proposed that Mr.. Darby should accede to the
demands Of the Union, but Mr. Darby declined.
He says he will fIl up his Office again and have
his new men sign an agreement not TO

FISHING WITH NETS.
A Question which the Comnissioners Have
Referred to the Attorney

nttefreu 10 the ATTORNEY.
The act Of March 2, 1855. prohibited the fab
ing with nets in the Potomac river within the
District Of Columbia for five years. The Law
was up this spring and the result was
the river about the city was literally covered
with nets Of all kinds.
The law OF April 6, 1850. prohibited the fsh-
ing with nets within the boundaries Of the Dis-
trict Of Columbia after the slst Of MAY In any
year.
This morning the harbor master made .
swoop upon the fishermen who maintained
nets and ordered them to remove all nets with
IN day. The fishermen claimed that the act
Of March 2, 1885, repealed the old act % April,
losO. aud there Was NO provision 20 the time
Of taking up the nets.
Tits morning the harbor master called the
matter TO the attention of the Commissioner.
and they Submitted the matter 10 the attorney
for the District for opinion.
