NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK. February LIT was an
other quiet day to-day at the STOCK Ex>
change. the traders having held aloof
pending the outcome of the efforts or
certain senator's to pass a free-silver-coin-
age bill There was also disposition TO
await the result OF the government-bond
offers by the Belmont Morgan syndicate.
In regard to the former it can be said
that nobody on the street believes Tor a
moment that free-silver bill can be-
come a law. and for that reason the ef-
forts OF the free-silverites only excited a
mild interest. The bond prospectus was
issued after business hours. and contains
nothing OF importance that was not
known for the past few days. The sub
scription-boo are to be opened to-mor>
row. and the syndicate reserves the right
to allot the bonds as 1t deems best. The
best authorities believe that the bonus
will be largely over-subscribed.

After q great deal Of discussion the
union adopted the following. which ex-
pains Itself: a..
Central Trades and Labor Council adopted
a resolution disappearing Of trades-union-
lists Identifying themselves With voiun-
tear military organizations. which action
fiyf9 been either misconstrued or distorted
by the press 30 as TO place this body
In a false light before the public; and
"Whereas we would emphaticaily
resent any and every intimation that

therefore we deem II proper that the

bitterly hostile to the employment OF
such methods. recognizing fully that they
invariably work injury to labor and retard
social and Industrial progress. 1t has
always been a source OF pride Tor US 20
be able to say that while the history OF
trades unionism In our community re-
veals the fact that labor has oftentimes
found II necessary to resort to strikes In
order to maintain its rights and protect
itself from the aggressions OF capital,
still on all OF these occasions our work
ingmen have preferred to obey the law
and assist in the maintenance OF order;
and while we have not the remotest idea
as to what Industrial disputes may occur
here In future, We feel confident that the
same reverence for the law will always
be shown by our wageworkers.
Therefore. In reiterating Its previous
deliverance on this question, the council
would invite trades-unionists. instead OF
arming themselves for military service.
to lay aside the instruments OF war;
beating their swords into ploughshares
and their spears into pruning-hooks, and
thus to furnish a nobler and more patri-
otto example than by shouldering Win
chesters' in the interests OF plutocracy.
War is the inveterate enemy OF progress
and civilization. and the world Is turning
from IL. a government pinned together
with bayonets' must inevitably divide
against itself. Let labor. therefore. turn
its back upon war and all that pertains
thereto and set its face towards the
progress and real benefits that will flow
from peace and brotherhood and co-opera-
ton"

J. Il. Doherty filed the chair. and Sec
rotary a. Il. McCulloch was at his post.
Several vital questions arose for discus

o'clock. During the evening 1t was agreed
that the present quarters were too small.

Az the Central Trades and Labor Union
Is composed of representatives Of all labor
organizations in the city. Its influence ex-
tends far and wide. and its membership is
composed of the highest types Of me
chanics in the city.
MID-WEEK PAYDAY.
The first topic Of interest considered
was that of changing general payday
from Saturday 20 some day about the
middle of the week. 1t was argued that
the receiving of their money On Satur-
days caused great many working-peope
TO go OF on sprees and to waste their
earnings and cripple their abilities. 1t
was also stated that the change proposed
would grestly relieve the too-neavy dsties
on Saturday evening OF clerks and sales
ladies and be generally beneficial In the
community. The motion was passed, and
a committee designated 10 carry Its pro-
visions into effect.
