NO SIGN OF A BOOM.
But Moderate Inprovcme- in General Busi-
ness Continues.

II. @. Dun 4 Co. s Review Of Trade says
There is still no distinct Improvement In
business, although conditions favor It. Con-
fldence slowly rises, speculative buying OF
materials for future use continues, imports
OF gold do not cease. and the Bank OF Eng
land has not tried to check them by further
advance in rates, as the weight OF the de-
mand now falls upon France.
But an enormous business IL held back
until the future Is more clear. Names great
majority had no such influence as many an
ticipated from n verdict less emphatic. To
many minds nothing an Eastern State can do
In contest represented as sectional gives
sufficient assurance how the Western and
Southern States may decide.
In cotton, hides, wool and pig iron, buying
openly speculative in character marks the
current business. Wheat has risen l96c,
although Western receipts OF 6,626, $50 BUSH
els exceed last years and in the three weeks
have been 17,S5j,s s6S bushels against l6.79l,-
$50 last year. Corn has scarcely advanced as
Western receipts are still us large US year
ago with exports smaller.
The only industry showing incrense Of
working force Is the cotton manufacture,
restriction of output having secured more
healthy demand for some goods. Most OF
the mills have started or are about TO start,
though the uncertainty Of the cotton market
| embarrasses. Prices Of staple goods havo
advanced so generally that the average OF
representative quotations is 81 per cent.
higher than in the first week OF August. No
| such improvement is seen In woolens, but
the speculative buying OF wool, nearly all ut
Boston, has raised sales to 17.7l6,3OO pounds
for the past three weeks against II, ,l33,i7O
last year and 2i,572, 400 in 1892.

MINING RATE CUT.
The Price of Digging Coal Reduced to 81
cents a Ton.

The union members of the Pittsburg dis
trict adopted resolutions which will bring
about peculiar condition in the mining
situation. 1t Is voluntary reduction OF the
rate of wages In order to meet the competi-
tion of non-union miners and operators. BY
this method 1t is hoped to bring all those
outside the fold Of the union to terms and
compel them to sue for peace In order
that a better condition may be brought
about.
p II. Penna, president OF the United mine
workers. took part In the proceedings. and
advocated the action subsequently taken by
the convention. Addresses were also made by
Secretary Warner and Cameron Miller, ma
tional vice-president. Many OF the delegates
expressed their intentions, and never In the
history of miners conventions did the ques-
tion at issue receive more consideration.
The plan was proposed several years ago,
and since that time been more or less dis
cussed
Most of the time was consumed In fixing
the amount of the voluntary reduction. A
number of the delegates were In favor OF
making the district price 80 cents ton, but
1t was argued that the principal competitor
was the New York and Cleveland gas coal
company, whose recognized rate Is "a cents.
1t was finally agreed that 54 cents should be
the district rate.
After the resolution had been passed
Michael ID. Rathford, president OF the United
mine workers of Ohio, addressed the con-
vention. He said he deplored the condition
of affairs In the Pittsburg district, as re-
duction meant q further reduction in Ohio.
He agreed with the delegates present that
the action was justiilatle, and in the end
would bring about a condition which would
ultimately be of lasting benefit to the coal
mining craft In the Buckeye state.

shots Mt Jones, one of which took effect In

first took effect in the left side just below the
heart, while the other entered the abdomen.
