Arrangements.
Cleveland, Sept. 3.-The Ohio coal
operators and other representatives. of
coal hauling roads are IN session here
today trying to make arrangements

the strike is settled. All the Ohio
coal roads were represented, but there
will be no step taken toward resump-

strike is officially settled.
There is marked scarcity of coal
here, and there will probably be an.
other advance in the price shortly.

eventually be settled on the basis pro-

Savannah, Sept. g. The market
this morning was moderately active,
with much frmer undertone. Liv-
erpool advices were much better than
expected, and this fact, together with
the receipt of moderate buying or
ders for Liverpool account, stimulated
a covering demand from the short in
terest, which has impaired firmness to
the market. Opening quotations were
from two to three points over last
evenings close. A slight decline fol-
lowed, but the demand exceeded the
offerings, and, as result, prices sub
sequently improved, and at l O'Clock
showed net gain of from three tt
four points.

house was new and elegant one in the
