meeting of the general committee of citi-
zens in charge of the work in this city for
the relief of the Texas food sufferers, to
be held in the rooms of the Board OF Trade

held owing to a misunderstanding on the
part of the members OF the committee. Inc
date of the meeting was published IN Inc
Times and other Washington papers at the

Wight, but had evidently been forgotten
The meeting was called principally for
the purpose of adding to the committee
the names of those of, the colored people
interested in the work, the contention
being made by them that their names on
the list and published in the papers would
indicate them as being authorized to solicit

occasion to ask for aid Commissioner
Wight, Chairman of the committee, stated
TO the few who appeared, that call would

Representative W. A. Calderhead, of the
Fifth Kansas district, paid his respects TO
President Mckinley at the White House
yesterday, and assured him that the peo-
pie of Kansas heartily endorsed his Philip
pine policy. In speaking OF the sentiment
OF the people, Mr. Calderhead remarked
that Kansans were of one mind on the
matter of expansion. Their idea was TO first
chastise the Filipinos, and afterward set

they should have. He said the people OF

The strength of the present stock market
is not to be questioned. Business is dull
and there is no advance in prices from
day to day but the fact that there have
been no declines when all the surface teen
meal conditions surrounding the market
have been adverse is the matter of conse,
quence. The people who have been work
ing recently in the market have been the
bears. The leaders of the bull contingent
have been out OF the city. The bears
have taken advantage of the poor bank
statements, have exaggerated the posi-
bility OF tight money in New York, have
worked the labor troubles for all they
were worth, and yet have not succeeded IN
causing any break in prices. comparison
of the level OF yesterday with that OF three
weeks ago will show that if there has been
any movement whatever il has been a
fractional advance. Yesterday was in no
way different from every recent session in
the market. Quotations fiuctuated within
a range of half a point or less in most
cases, and the extreme movements were
point or less. The level at the close
would have to be computed with great care
to discover whether it was gain or a
loss on the average from that of the close
on Tuesday. Such seems likely to be the
condition prevailing for some days longer
II any movement in the session yester-
day deserves TO be dignified by calling il a

Gas, during the first hour of the day There

So Before noon the manipuiators of the
BOOM if a boom had been intended, became
tired OF the game, and during the remain
der of the day the stock was no more active

back to near the opening level. The talk
regarding Peoples Gas has been most opti-
mistic recently, owing 10 the steady in
crease in its earnings in the last six months
Consolidated Gas also was strong early
in the day, but like Peoples, declined in
the afternoon. A net loss was scored. The
gas war in New York seems no nearer
an amicsble settlement now than a week
after Its opening. 1t is said that the Con-
solidated is making long time contracts
TO furnish gas at 80 cents 1000 feet. The
public wins in this fight. and perhaps IT. is

suggestive of good backing, and careful,
market critics would not be surprised to
see it advance several points further on
the next general upward movement of the

high level of the movement. Southern

Am expert and eminent authority on iron

An expert and eminent authority on iron
mines has come to the rescue of fright
ened country with the assurance that there
IS no danger of a famine in iron ore. This
gentleman says that America can continue
to mine iron and double and quadruple its
mining for a hundred years, maybe for a
thousand years. without coming to the end
OF the supply. The mines of the Lake Su-
perior regions, he says, are illimitabls in
their extent. The London Statist' and
some authorities in good standing in this
country have been limiting recently that
the enormous demand on America for iron
and steel, both for home and foreign con-
sumption, will soon make the supply of
ore matter OF grave doubt. These sug-
gestions are not supposed to have been
made wholly in a disinterested way, for the
good of America and the world in general
With this question thus happily settled,
and with every blast furnace and iron and
steel works in the country running full
time, and with scores and hundreds OF new
competitors entering the field every week,
it is possible that America may at least
soon begin TO make small impression on
the foreign trade in iron and steel that Is
awaiting development. AS to the profits
in the business the records of some OF the
concerns will be revelation at the end of
this year, it is confidently predicted by in
siders.

The small squirt in New York Central
seems to have died away completely, and
the price of the stock yesterday declined
TO 1S9 IA, nearly two points from the
high price of the week. Pennsylvania also
after showing considerable strength in the
morning hours and reaching as high as
1871 Ia, sold off in the afternoon to 1856 3-S.
The decline of these two securities seems
TO have been caused by several more posi-
tive denials that there is to be any con-
solidation of the two systems. The value
OF these stories OF railway deals, even
as market riggers, Is very much to be
questioned. The declines that follow the
denials are usually greater than the ad-
yances in price. Both of these securities
are legitimately entitled to higher prices

Central especially is selling much above

much further advance in any ordinary

that the Federal Steel Company is actually

arrangements with a financial institution
to pay the dividends of the company pend

price of the Federal Steel securities. The

-----------------------------.-- The Stock Market.

New. York, June 23.-The stock market did not extend beyond professional bounds at any time to-day, but the small active element amongst the opera tors were disposed to cover outstanding short contracts and as a result prices, are very generally higher on the day, In some cases notably so. The meeting Of the directors of the American Steel and Wire company Ip settle the much dls- cussed dispute as to whether or not a dividend should be declared on the com mon stock was the central event of n- terest After the directors went into session the market waited with eager and almost breathless expectancy for the result, Much bitterness has been manifested amongst the conflicting ele- ments over this question, but the action of the tsock wheu it was finally an- nounced that no dividend would be de- clared at present showed that the event had been thoroughly discounted. The price closed at the highest of the day, 2 1-2 points above the lowest. There was Q momentary dip to near the lowest af- ter the news came ott, but offerings were small and the price quickly moved upwards, absorbing some blocks of mod crate dimensions on the way up. The action of this stock in face of the worst that had been foretold cleared the situa- tion and there were some sharp ad- vances in the closing dealings. The Steel and Wire news did not come out
 until within half an hour of the close and the earlier strength of the maSket then re-asserted itself. There was period of practical staguation and yield ing of prices before this question was decided. The great improvement in the ser timent on foreign stock markets was rcrected at the opening here, notably in h Baltimore and Ohio stocks and there was a good demand later for the Van aerbilt group of railroads, the grangers, the Pacifics, Contlnenta Tobacco and a number of other speoialties Sugar, T. c, and l., American Smelling and the distilliug group were centers of weak ness at one time. but without general ef- feet on the market Metropolitan Street Railway was up over 4 points at one time and Air Brake rose IA points.
