sell The prices of Burlington and Quincy,
Tactic Mall and Louisville and Nashville were
persistently held above the close OF yesterday
Holders of Pacific Mail seem 70 have settled
upon about what the subsidy bill will be worth
to the company. and that stock took q
secondary position In the market. Its early
movement, however, was the most important
Of the day. though the revival OF speculative in
terest in Sugar made that active and strong in
the afternoon. There were still efforts 70 get
Burlington aud Quincy OF further on the aSser-
ton that Gould had been autagoniZed by the
management and other influences; but while it
was the most active stock on the list, it was
held fairly steady, and at times even firm.
Silver Certificates were also more active and
nrmer, aided by diminishing stocks here and
late exports, the decline on the failure OF the
free coinage bill having evidently reached ITS
limits. Late in the day Wizards became the
leading features, and material advances were
scored, especially in Northern Pacific, on what
looked like Duying for pressed bull leaders. The
general list displayed the same lack of interest
and after firm opening. with advances over
last nights prices of per cent in Pacific Mail
and u in Northern Pacific preferred, there was
general decline in early dealings, in sy mpathy
with drop OF IA per cent. in Pacific Mail.
The natural strength of the market then be-
came more apparent and everything traded in
moved upward, the advance gaining force as
time wore along, and eliminating only In the
last hour of business. Transactions outside Of
the stocks mentioned, however. we're without
feature although there was considerable
activity in several of the usually active stocks.
The market finally closed dull but firm at the
best prices of the day, and generally at small
fractions better than last evening. The sales
were 142 900 shares of listed and H. 900 shares
of unlisted.
The following were the closing quotations of
the New York Stock Exchange:

clothes that will be attractive to every

the truth. Since the world began
there were never two noses exactly
alike, and there is just as much diff

The successful clothier constantly has
his fingers on the pulse of popular

preference is flowing. Then aud then
only can he hope to be in position to
offer something that is certain to at

TIIE good effects of the Mckinley bill,
says the National LtmocTGt as well as the
bad effects, combine 20 show that pro-
t,ction is for capital and not for labor.
The new tariff increased the protection
on plate glass. The manufacturers are
charging their works and preparing TO
do y bigger business than ever, and
these facts are paraded before the world
by the high tariff papers. SO far as
thcv are true they indicte. what needed
no proof, that the tariff is a good thing
for the manufacturers. Where do the
workmen come in? Tho manufactur-
ers pretend that they cannot get work
men in this country and they are trying
to get permission to import n lot OF
cheap foreign contract labor. We have
also seen a good many glowing descrip-
tons of the Nottingham lace factory
that was 10 be established at Scranton,
Pa. But it seems that an essential part
of this plan was not the employment OF
American LaDoI Dui 'll' iIiiPol '-i'4oiA vi
lot of English lace makers. The
whole scheme has fallen through AS far
as Scranton is concerned. Existing
manufacturing establishments, which
were benefited by the new tariff are re-
ducing wages right. and left, and the
new establishments which Mr.. Mckin-
ley proposed To create are going to I'M
port cheap European labor.

Trouble In the Coke Region.

MT. PLENsAxT. Pa, April "A
bloody battle took place this morning at
the Morewood Coke Works. Al about
2:S this morning n mob offive hundred
men began rioting at tho Standard
Works. They destroyed some of the
Company's property and then cut the
telephone and telegraph lines. About
3 O'Clock party of the rioters, between
four hundred and City and tive hundred
strong, marched to Morewood.
In the meantime by piucky work in
the face OF danger from the rioters who
remained, the Conpany's employees at
the Standard hastily repaired the tele-
phone lines, and sent word to Morewood
that the strikers would attack the works
in three places and had well-laid plan
10 destroy the whole plant.
The Deputy SheriffS were in readiness
to receive the attack. The men were
divided into three parties. Captain
Lauer having charge of the party which
was placed behind the big gates Of the
barn and stable enclosure As the riot
crs passed the Company's store they
raided is as far a. they could in a short
time, breaking windows and tearing
things loose right and left.
They then marched TO the barn en-
closure and attempted To break down
the gates. They succeeded in doing
this, and as they entered Captain Lauer
called out To them to halt or he would
( fire upon them. Their answer Was a
rafting volley in the direction of the
Deputies. none of whom were seriously
injured. Captain Laucr then gave the
order To fire. Two volcys were fired be
fore the mob broke and ran. Seven
men fell dead in the public road and a
number were found wounded. The
rioters then broke up into small groups
! and made their escapes in yarious direct
! ions.
! \ Mt. Pleasant dispatch says: Some
J of the strikers say that they had no in
! tcntion of doing any damage. They
I simply marched to the works to intimi-
/ date those who were at work. On the
other hand il WAS said by n well-knowr
/ gentleman that he was approached by

/ see any of the bombs used in blow

swer. We'll, / haven't one with me
