FINANCIAL.
New York.

NEW YORK. Dec. 15.-The stock market to-
day was only moderately active, and for the
amount of business done it exhibited less
feature than for any day for some time. The
strength, however, remained unimpaired
throughout the session, and while the ad-
Yances are not marked except in one or two
cases. they are generally uniform. The Van
derbiits, the Changers and specialties monop-
oliZed the market most of the day. while the
general list moved slowly and quietly
throughout the day.
The features of the transactions were the
continued buying for investment and the
strength in the New York Central The ex-
pectauOn has become quite general that 8

A BATTLE IMMINENT.
Italians and Austrians at Crested
Butte in Ugly HumOr.


Butte in Ugly HumOr.
CRESTED BUTTE, Col. Dec. 15.-The
indications are that bloody battle can
not long he delayed. Since all over
lures for arbitration have failed, both
company and strikers have taken a
more demOnstrative stand. The former
has ordered lumber and already begun
the erection of houses for the protection
OF the men who will take the place of
the strikers.
This evening 100 Winchester rifles,
with $500 pounds of ammunition, were
dumped from a freight car and i'm
mediately taken possession of by Sheriff
Shores and his deputies. Fearless men
are now on their way TO Crested Butte
from Pueblo and other places to handle
these rifles in protecting the property
of the company and the lives of their
new employees.
The strikers are now holding secret
meetings tonight, all the proceedings
being in the Italian and Austrian lam
guages. They avow that they will fight
to the death for what they consider to
be their rights and that they will allow
no imported men to take their places.
In other words, they insist that their
demands shall be complied without ex-
ception or there will be war to the knife.
