session. The lethargic condition of the market is
the subject of much discussion in stock circles.
Neither good nor bad news seems to have the
slightest influence, favorable railroad earnings,
break in cotton and talk about gold exports, all
alike falling to start up activity To-day the

from the port of New York, primarily due TO the
break i'm cotton: then came the denial of the re
ports current yesterday that the miners in the
Ohio bltuminouS coal fields intended striking, and
finally there was an advance in the price of anthra
cite coal by the Delaware and Hudson and Penn
sylvania coal companies, and statement that
other corporations will shortly follow suit. The
effect on stock prices practically nothing. Lon
