NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Nov. 29.-The
girls employed in the Bell Telephone Ex-
change, in this city, are out on strike. The
manager of the system here says he had
received complaints about the operators
talking over the switchboard, and sent in a
pledge setting forth that the operators
would refrain from this source Of annoy
ance to the subscribers, requesting that
the chief operator sign 1t. She refused,
and resigned her position, the other girls
in the employ of the local exchange fol-
lowing her example.
Their places were filed yesterday and
the subscribers OF the exchange have suf-
fered no special inconvenience on account
of the walkout.

The stock market this morning was the
best of the week, and there was quite
expectation that the good buying would re-
suit In some excellent advances in the list
generally before the close over the holiday.
The general news from South Africa and
Manila. the several excellent earnings
statements. the continuance Of the flow Of
money to New York, seemed at last to
have accomplished two things-a return Of
confidence in the public and fright for
the shorts 1t is difficult to say which Of
these things was the more potent cause Of
the advance. The shorts certainly covered
somewhat heavily, but also there was clear
evidence that the commission houses were
executing orders. Added to this there was
GOOD clique buying in number Of secur1-
ties. The prediction Of the careful hnan-

suggested in this column heretofore that

Wltnin very snort time.
Leather. common, was again without
support, and ii was sold off rapidly from
IA to below II in the first hour. Immense
blocks of the stock changed hands all the
way down, and 1t was very evident that
some one was unloading a very large
amount of it. Nothing was told OF the
Leather peoples affairs this morning. The
cause of the selling was probably the dec
laration of larger dividend for the pre-
ferred stock. which should be interpreted
as against the interests OF the common.
Such an argument would imply that the
preferred stock should be bought, which
was not the case, however, at least during
the morning hours. The public invests in
Franklin syndicates by the millions Of dol
lars, and the Leather, common, stock is no
worse bunco game that fine plan, so that
perhaps there should be no surprise at the
success Of the people that have advanced
this stock from to 40, and then let it
off again from 40 to 10, in the space Of a
month or two. roping in the public coming
and going.
There is much talk of the "Pennsyl-
vania-New York Central Baltimore and
Ohio deal" 1t is known that the Wander
bilts have been buying Baltimore and Ohio
securities heavily, and there is good evil
dence that the Pennsylvania insiders have
been active buyers Of the stock as well.
What this buying means no one seems able
to say with any certainty as yet The
talk of a closer traffic alliance among
the lines is the most plausible, and it
would not surprise careful observers IL
some such agreement were announced in
the near future. The fact that London
and Berlin investors have also been buy
ing the three stocks heavily, indicates that
the plan, whatever 1t is. is Of large i'm
portance.
