HAzLETON, Pa. October 19.-The

Of powder shall be taken into consid-
Grafton. The miners apparently want
to go back to work for the 10 per
cent advance, and then arbitrate the
question whether they are to get their
powder cheaper as an additional con-
cession. 1t is not believed that the
mine owners will grant any such de-
mand and their refusal may mean the
indefinite prolongation of the strike.

the direct question to-day by a repre-

The nR-committal answer OF the

OPERATORS STATEMENT.


PHILADELPHIA, October 19.-Dr
H. NJ Howe, VINO represented A. Pardee
& Company at the conference in this
city between -l1e individual operators
and the officials of the Philadelphia &c
Reading, and Lehign Valley railroads,
in speaking to-day about the powder
question which seems to have halted
the settlement of the mine workers
strike, said:
The independent mine owners will
not reduce the price of powder from
s275 to $3.50 and in addition grant a
ten per cent increase in wages, neither
will the Leligh Valley, SO their officials
tell me.
Suppose we should cut off SIPS from
the cost of powder, that would repre-
sent about per cent of the miners
wages. If then, we should give the
miners 10 per cent more in wages, the
real advance to them would be Is per
cent. This we can never allow.
1.-THE plan is to fix one price for
powder, $1.50, and also pay the ten
per cent advance in wages. but the
reduction in powder must be consider
ed as part of the ten per cent increase.
We are acting in good faith and the
miners should do likewise as they will
receive ten per cent advance, part
of it being the savings to them in the
lower price OF powder.
"The Reading Company has never
charged more than $3.50 for powder. .

SESSION SHORT
 BUT EXCITING Stock Market Experienced An- other FeVerish Day. TIME FOR A RAJ " WAS DUE This Sentiment Was in Evidence Early in the Day, and Was Reinforced
 by Nervousness on Part
 of the Shorts
TIME FOR A RAJ " WAS DUE

New York, June 23.-The Saturday short session of the stock exchange was fever ish and exciting one under the domination of much the same influence as for some days past The holiday in London left the New York stock market without its ac customed guide to the speculative senti- ment of the outside world, with the usual result that professional room traders were at sea for a time after the opening.
 The sentiment obseryable for some time past among the professionals that the market was oversold and was due for d rally was in evidence at the opening and was reinforced by some obvious nervous ness on the part of shorts.
 The latter element covered freely in Northern Pacific, and there was firm tendency in Sugar, but the continued de- moralization in Brooklyn Rapid Transit upset the influence of the bull element and stocks began to come on the market in large volume before the end of the first hour The excited advance in wheat here was an influence in the break in stocks. The market had become quiet and steady when the bank statement appeared and gave shock to sentiment by the large decrease shown in cash reserves.
 The effect of the Chinese situation on the stock market has diminished into in- significance. But the movement of money markets and the semi-annual settlements to be met on July 1 are a growing source of apprehension in security market cir cles. Berlin has borrowed heavily of New York capital for some time past, and this has served to encroach on the surplus re- serves of New York banks by expanding the reserve requirements.
 This week Germany has added to her demand for credits call for bullion to re- plenish her own banking reserves in prepa- ration for July l. The Bank of France also continues to accumulate reserves and to reduce note issues and loans as though in preparation for a storm. The result has been a stiffening of discount rates in Lon don and an advance of 1 penny an ounce in the Bank of England's price of gold bars and of American eagles. The large payments for pensions by the sub-treasury have tided over the situation in New York this week. But during the week the $5,OOO0 900 of government deposits to be re- turned to the treasury, and afterwards the demands incident to preparation July interest and dividend disbursements, with the prospects of a resumption of interior demands for funds to move the crops. The excessive speculation in wheat also makes additional demands for loans, There is not much liklihood however, of a pressure of idle funds to stimulate slug gish stock market.
 The bond market has moved irregularly toward a lower plane of prices. United States new As have declined F, and the old As, the 5's and the refunding 2s when issued, + in the bid price.

Cotton Letter


 Fairchld & Hobson's Cotton Letter to IT D. Gotham x Co.
 New Orleans, June 23.-Cotton was re- markedly strong today, for notwithstand- ing that Liverpool failed to respond fully to the American advance of yesterday which reluctance was probably caused by the unfavorable news from China and the further rise in food stuffs, first trading in the staple here was indulged in at an ad-s vance of ? to points. The low pressure of 29.6 noted in the Upper Mississippi Val ley yesterday had by this morning made it's way as far south as Vicksburg, Miss, causing general heavy rains again in Mis- sissippi Louisiana, Alabama and in Geor- gia and the Carolinas. The offer of the shorts to cover and the fresh buying on the part of the public and the prospects of continued wet weather for the belt today and Sunday put the market on the verge of bear panic. At the very opening the market was launched on sea of buying orders that eventually carried the month of October to the height of 26 points above the closing of last night. During all the excitement there were no extreme violent reactions; the market was like a compass pointing to but one direction-higher levels The weekly report of the New
