The members of the Central Labor Union
occupied most of the time at their weekly
meeting last evening in discussing the
Maine incident. The union adopted reso-
lutions by a ur ranimous vote, to the ef-
feet that America has been startled by
the intelligence of the blowing up of the
friendly country, and investigation thus far
has shown that the explosion was from
the exterior and that over $50 lives have
been lost thereby. Therefore we, dele
gates of the Central Labor Union of WASH

heartfelt sympathy to the relatives Of the
men who went down to death in the serv-

THE STOCK MARKET.
A Sudden Violent Break i'm Anthra-
cite Coal Stocks n Feature.

New York Nov. LIN ordinary circum-
stances a general break in the anthracite
coal stocks would not call for extended
comment. 1t would be necessary only to
point out the notoriously bad trade condi-
tions affecting those securities and the er-
rors and abuses of management which
aggravate these conditions. This has
been done before frequently and ade-
quately and there was nothing new in
either respect to-day. The only recent
contributions to the general data of an
thracite coal trade conditions have been
the September statement of the Reading
Coal and Iron Company. which showed
decrease in gross of 4S9. l5S. or falling
off of 20 per cent. as compared with last
year, and the abandonment by the Della
ware and Hudson Company of its obso-
lete canal and gravity railroad. The
Reading report was a wretched enough
showing, and with present trade condi-
tions there is no reason to suppose that
the other sellers of anthracite coal are
faring much better. Still, the trade con-
ditions are no worse now than they were
two months ago, and indeed on the whole
they show some signs of improvement.
in these stocks seemed indeed to be the
result of a vigorous bear attack. which
has not been unheralded. While to-day )
drive seemed to bring about more than
the ordinary amount of outside liquida-
ton in these stocks, they showed the
usual decree of stubbonness at the de-
cline, and at the close of business an in
creased short account.
Apart from the anthracite shares the
market was active in spots and its tone
was exceedingly irregular. The industrial
shares furnished more than even their
! recent quota of the total transactions.
