CONFERENCEISO ON
Operators and Officials of tht

Many Of the Operators in Favor
Of Granting Demands of the

President RatchfOrd Makes q

PITTsBURG, Aug. 24.-The conference

President Ratchford arrived in Pitts
burg at y o'clock, and in an interview
said he wanted it distinctly understood
that he had never been asked by the
operators to confer with them.
"The statements, "said he, "that I
had refused conference is not correct.
am here now at the request of Mr..
Do!an. We will only agree to the
operators proposition if they will pay
69 cents. That is the lowest rate the
miners will accept. 1t must be 81 cents
or the strike will be continued until the
demands are granted. If the Pittsburg
operators settle upon our terms, gen.
eral conference will not be necessary. )"
Operators Are Not Agreed.
Previous to the conference, large
number Of operators congregated in the
. corridors of the Monongahela House.
There was much dissatisfaction among
them, many were opposed to breaking
the strike by importing men and quite
a large number urged the acceptance Of
the miners terms. It was declared
that it was not the Pittsburg operators
who wanted to compromise or break the
strike. but that it was the large mine
owners and lake shippers. The confer
ence ended at noon, after an agreement
had been made for general conference
of operators and miners officials at
O'Clock. The miners officials insisted
on all the operators being present, and
it was decided to make the conference
an open one. The operators who had
been kept on the outside were jubilant
when this decision was arrived at, and
said they would attend. Some said
they would favor granting the 69 cent
rate at the opening Of the conference if
it was seen that the miners officials
would not consent to a compromise to
let out the operators who have con.
tracts based on a 81 cent mining rate.

MARKET NERVOUS
Wheat Sold Off Over Three
Cents at the Opening in
Chicago.
It Then Rallied Again to Near
the Dollar Mark of
Saturday
But Closed Decidedly Lower and
NervOus---COrn and Oats
Excited.

CHICAGO, Aug. 24.-In anticipation Of
seeing wheat go to Sl.05, the galleries
of the board Of trade were jammed by
sightseers. But they were disappointed
in this, although witnessing decidedly
lively opening. There was perfect
food of selling orders, in all the grain
pits, and this profit.taking knocked the
top off prices so quickly as to make the
traders heads fairly swim. Opening at
from 991s to 9S1s, Saturdays closing
price being the higher Of the two fig
ures, September wheat tumbled to 95
cents almost before the crowd realized
what had happened. But it was
quickly apparent that many expected
wheat to go way beyond the magic dol
lar mark, and offerings of all kinds
were eagerly snapped at The limit to
the 'letting go' was apparently
reached when 95 cents for September
was touched, and prices again bounded,
99la cents being reached in almost as
quick time as the decline had occurred.
Again the market turned tail, this time
q reaction to 98114 cents occurring. The
December option in the meantime was
not whit less active, the opening, in
fact, showing rather bewildered feel
ing among traders.
December Came TumblinR After.
First offerings of December, which
closed Saturday at 991a cents, ranged
all the way from 81 to 97ls cents, and,
while September was taking its tobog-
gan trip, December came tumbling
after, falling to 94s4 cents. There it
brought up with jolt and rebounded
to 9914 cents, where it struck the wall
again and went back to SO cents.
The rise in the price had at 3:30p M,
Liverpool time, reached 514d or Ga
cents per bushel over Saturdays latest.
When the agitation here had some-
what quieted down, the fluctuations
narrowed considerably and kept for q
time within half cent of 90 cents. The
ordinary market news outside of the
Liverpool fluctuations received but scant
attention and nothing more clearly
demonstrated the emotional and ir-
rational character of the sudden changes
in sentiment. The tone Of the trade
was decidedly nervous at the close
The official closing figures were 96 cents
for September, net loss of 81 cents a
bushel compared with the close Satur-
day. September corn closed at 81
cents, or three.eighths cents under the
close Saturday. Corn and oats were
decidedly nervous during the entire
trading.
