PITTSBURG MILLS CLOSE DOWN.
Various Reasons Assigned for the Move,
Whits-LeAding ths Machinery TO Keep
Out Rust

Out Rust
PrrrsBURG, PA, July 2s.-The Bes-
semer steel department Of the Jones &
Iaughlin's plant closed down to-day,
throwing 500 men out OF en-
ployment. The men fear q long
suspension and the members OF
the firm refuse to be interviewed. 1t
Is generally understood that the de-
partmenL was closed on account OF =
lack OF orders. II is asserted that the
frm has been refusing western orders
on account OF the financial scare and 1t
shut down rather than take risks.
A condition OF uncertainty exists at
the works OF the Oliver Iron and Steel
Company, and the thousands OF en-
ployes are apprehenSive Of a pro-
tracted shut down. All sorts Of rumors
were afoat to-day. Ii was said
that the firm was going to run
pon.union; that fence was being built
around the South Fifteenth street mill,
and that the machinery In the various
mills was 0eing white-leaded,t that being
the usual way machinery is made proof
against rust during a long shutdown.
David Oliver was seen this afternoon
and said that the open ana exposed
parts Of the plant were being tempora-
rily closed until the mills are ready to
ooerate. he positively refused to say
ANYTHING about a resumption with noO-
union men or the white leading OF the
machinery.
The idle men at the Sligo mill, South
Side, are much worried over the con-
slant stream Of colOred men calling at
the mill Office. They fear the mill is to
be operated non-union. IL has been
closed since July 1, when the scale ran
out. and the firm has since failed
10 sign the scale. Nearly every day
this week a number OF eolored men have
called az the mill Office, aud during the
past forty-eight hours they have been
coming in squads. The idle mill work
as conRrerate on the street, but in no
way molest the colored men.
Nothing can be learned at the ofice
OF the firms intentions.

THE CONDITIONS IN NEW YORK.
London Has More Money Than She
Needs and American stocks are Going
There 70 Bring Back Gold.

Hondon Has More Money Than She
Needs and American stocks are Going
There to Bring Back Gold.
NEW YoRK, July 9s.-It vas said to-
day that the higher prices for American
stocks In London confirmed the news
published yesterday that New York
capitalists had combined with other in
terests 90 buy stocks here and carry
them abroad. A broker said:
''The sense OF such an operation Is It's
best explanation. Everybody admits
stocks 20 be- cheap here, while In Lon
don there is 3 plethora OF money. IL
Is therefore simple enough 20 buy
stocks here and carry them abroad. The
market has turned. London is ready
TO carry all the stocks that we want 70
send over there. With stocks going Out
and gold coming in there is very little
doubt as To the main movement Of
prices"
In connection with this statement IL
was said that a conservative estimate
Of stocks TO be shipped to Europe to-
morrow was between fifty and sixty
thousand.
Interest lu Wall street to-day was
largely ceutered in reports OF gold i'm
p0rtatiOns. According 70 we'll Informed
bank officers some very erroneous re-
ports have been published concerning
them. One OF these bank presidents, a
leading member OF the clear
Ing house committee, said TO q reporter
that the talk Of bank syndicate having
been formed 20 import gold or that the
clearing house had arranged 70 assist
certain banks % DO so, etc, was not
only untrue, but was absolute nonsense.
eff any one will study the rates Of ex-
change, he continued, "he will see for
himself that they warrant movement
or gold this way. Now anything that
Is being done by any bank or banks TO
facilitate that legitimate and proper
movement is simply and solely an indi-
vidual matter between the bank and its
customer who imports the gold"
The clearing house committee met
to-day, and after The session IL was
learnd that an additional issue OF So
500. 600 loan certificates had been au-
thorized. It was authOritatiyely stated
that the issue OF certificates was direct
ly connected with impOrtations Of gold.
The same statement was made with re-
gard 70 the certificates issued yesterday.
A member Of the clearing house COM
mlttee. when asked the cause
OF the issue Of certificates
yesterday and to-day, explained
that there were large maturities At this
time and the banks were preparing to
renew those which could not be negOti-
ated 10 the open market The bears,
said this member Of the committee,
''might possibly use the issue OF certif-
Gates as an a tQent Ia favor OF their
pessimistic but in reality IL was
good bull Aent as II was evidence
Of the liberia pirit OF the banks and
their determination 10 take care OF their
customers In the present financial cri-
sis
The sub-treasurY was debtor az the
clearing house this morning S472, 600,
and about s4OO, 600 OF that sum was paid
In gold. The orders for currency con-
tinued 70 arrive during the day, and
called for very large amounts. One
bark president estimated the amount 70
be -, 600, 900.

Spsaal Telegram to tsS Rsgistsr.
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 2S.-Some
days ago q statement apparently official
was sent from here throughout the
country To the effect that since January
/ over two hundred national banks had
failed. This statement was grossly Ak
agerated, and TO correct 10 and remove
the false impression from the public
mind Comptroller OF the Currency Eek
els mas prepared a statement giving the
facts about the bank failures this year.
The statement says:
.sRecents dispatches having appeared
IN the NEWSPAPERS 70 the effect that
since January 1. 1898, two hundred
national banks have failed, the follow
ing statement has been prepared that
the public may be properly informed.
Instead OF two hundred having closed
their doors, but 105 have gone into the
hands OF the comptroller OF the cur
rency. Fourteen Of this number have
already resumed business under favor
able conditions and possess OF the con-
fdence OF the communities
where located, and during the
ensuing week, 10 Is expected
that several others Will nave cOmP Pleu
with the requirements Of the Comptroi-
Ter and re-opened, while prior to Sep
tember 1 an equal number will resume.
Out OF the total OF 105 closed but 67
have gone into the hands Of receivers,
the balance either having re-Opened or
are still in the hands Of the examiners,
with strong prospects Of re-opening."
By geographical statistics the failure
10 distributed as follows: New England
States, 2; eastern States, 2; middle
and Mississippi Valley States, 10;
northwestern States, o; western
States, 55; Southern States, 25. The
statements show the number Of the na-
tlonal banks now 10 operation through
out the country is 3,7S5, Of which 30 are
IN West Virginia, In which State there
has been no failure, while there were
Two in Ohio. IL also points 70 the fact
that Chicago, New York and Milwaukee
are the only large commercial cities 10
which failures have occurred, and thai
these were due nearly altogether 10
mismanagement.
