THE MONETARY DRIFT.
Subsidence of Western Land Booms Helpful
to Legitimate Business.

The local money market was practically
unchanged yesterday. There was moder-
ate calls for loans. which were made at 61l@
6per cent as the rule, shading either way be-
ing exceptional The bulk of business was
of the routine sort. Clearing House ex-
changes were $2,5s4,oss 81, and balances s22s,-
80 s.
A prominent financier writes: There is
one thing, now being very largely ignored,
which deserves attention, and very close at
tention, and that has to do with the COM
plete disappearance from the financial world
of calls for funds to carry on inflated real es-
tate speculation in the West and Southwest.
There is hardly vestige of the land boom
in the West or Southwest, and the millions
of money-and 1 estimate that $50, ,0O0, 900
went from the East during the last two or
three years to help along these booms-are
now in the East or ready for the East, to use
in legitimate channels. To my mind-and 1
reflect the opinions of other conservative
bankers-the money let loose through the
elimination of these wild land specuIations
is going to be very important factor in our
financial situation. 1t will be helpful, in
fact, beyond calculation"
Secretary Foster says that, while It is not
altogether settled, it is more than likely that

COKE PLANTS RESUME WORK.
The Frick Company Takes Strong Measure
Against Organized Workers.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH1
SCorTDALE, May 25.-Resumption of the
coke plants in the region has been very
heavy to-day. Both the big plants, Standard
and Trotter, of the Frick Company, were
put in operation. At the latter place consid-
cradle trouble is anticipated. John Nc
sloy, an active strike leader, was reelected
check measurer by the men this morning.
and took his place on the tipple, As soon as
he had got started to work one of the Pinker-
ton guards placed him under arrest, and es-
corted him from the Company's property to
the public road, when he was told to 90 and
advised not to return.
McSloy left, but it was to Uniontown.
where he employed Judge Campbell to pros.
ecute the Frick Company for interfering
with his rights as a check measurer. The
State law authorizes the employment of
such an official by the miners, and makes an
offense against it punishable with fine of
$500 Heretofore the Frick Company has
not objected or interfered with the men
having representative on the tipple but
McSloy was elected representative of an
organized body, and their first plan in re-
suming is to rid the 1region of ali semblance
of organization. If the men persist the plant
will probably be closed down again.

very little trouble. We have tried to have

still some upon which 1t is desirable more

clothing have been mostly made to the Fe-

and fuel have always been cheerfully fur

stormy Friday from the Cape to return work

sons are so little accustomed to sewing that
1t is necessary to give them very plain work.
Consequently there will be quite an amount
