A RESU MPTION
OF River Traffic Predicted---The
Rains Will at Least Bring a
Packet Stage.

or River Traffic Predicted---The
Rains Will at Least Bring a
Packet Stage.
PITTSBURG, Pa, October 31.-The
river men believe that the rain which
began falling at 10 o'clock this morn
ing will enable resumption in navi-
CATION on the Ohio river, at least for
the packets. The precipitation in two
hours amounted to quarter of an inch
of rainfall. 1t will take general rain
fall of two inches to bring a coal ship
ping stage in the rivers. The rain was
light when it commenced falling, but
at 1890 p. m. it had increased consid-
erably in volume.
At this season of the year the ground
is covered with leaves in the forest and
mountain regions and they hold the
water. River men would like to see a
15-foot stage Of water, but 10 or II
feet would be welcome. Rain is fall
ing at all up-river points. There must
also be rain throughout the Ohio val
ley in order to make a good coal ship
ping stage, as the Ohio is low at Carlo.
There is 20,000000 bushels of coal
awaiting shipment and a rise will be
attended with unusual interest The
coal is owned by the Monongah River
Consolidated Coal and Coke Company
the recently formed organization that
has absorbed all of the river coal inter
ests. The coal will be started south
practically under one management.
There are thousands of men who are
awaiting employment. Some of these
who are skilled in their line of work,
such as pilots, engineers, firemen and
deckhands, have given notice that an
advance in wages is wanted and it is
expected that some concessions will be
made. The pilots have in reality been
granted an advance, for all the branch
firas of the concern who have hired
men for the year since October 1 have
paid the scale price
