Fewer Men Employed Than at
Any Time Since the. Trou-
BILE Commenced. .st

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 28.-There ia
more activity in the coal miners strike
situation than for several days. Men
are marching from mine to mine in the
Hazleton region inducing workers to
quit and 60 home, being careful to so
conduct themselves as not to transgress
the law. Near Wilkesbarre several
small washeries that were idle are pro.
ducing fuel and around Scranton the
operators show disposition in one way
or another to move things.
In the neighborhood of Shenandoah.
where the soldiers are located, every
thing is quiet, though the Reading
company has three less mines ct work
than were working Monday. Taking
the entire coal field as whole it may
be said that fewer men are at work
than at any time since the strike began
and consequently less coal is being pro-
duced. z.s.
+ From Hazleton comes the, interesting
point that Markle & Co. have granted
some of the demands made by their
men ten days ago, leaving to arbitra.
tion, however. the main question of re-
duction in the price charged to miners
for powder.

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

The transactions in stocks were again yes
ferday on a very limited scale. In a majority
OF issues the dealings were limited TO few
hundred shares. The changes in prices for the
most part were trifing. but consequence
Of the dulness the tendency of prices was. per-
haps toward g lower level. The speculative
community as a whole however. seems to he
looking for an Improvement in values soon, for
+be reason that August is almost invariably a
month of rising prices and also because con-
ditions in the main are favorable and are
likely to continue No material decline IN
stocks is looked for anyway until higher rates
for money are recorded There are as yet no
signs Of q Tightening in funds, although 1t
hardly Is believed that the requirements for
moving the crops can be met without some
increase In the charges TO borrowers. 1t ap-
pears certain that the flow Of money to the
weet and South will not begin until later than
usual possibly not until October. Even then 1t
is probable that II will attain no great volume.
The amount Of gold that will be shipped to
Europe as a result Of the sale of British Ex-
cheouer bonds IN the United States has not
heen determined. While S2S,000,000 Of the notes
IS 10 be allotted to this country, 1t is not
thought that anywhere near that sum in gold

IN favor of America will 1t is presumed, be
utilized in part payment for the bonds. 1t Is
doubtful II much more Inan Sl0,UOO,VoO III so4u
will be sent across the ocean. The placing in
this market OF more than half Of the latest
British issue is looked upon with favor here.
It is an incident that adds wonderfully to the
financial prestige Of the United States. It will
not adversely affect the home money market.
II has not thus far raised the rates for call
money IN the least As for time money, it is
offered in abundance at 215 per cent for sixty
DAYS. and at 4 per cent for four months. While
the rates for sterling exchange have been lifted
somewhat they have not been advanced to
the normal gold shipping point 1t is understood
that the Bank Of England facilitates the move
rnent Of gold from this country by remttttng in
terest on the gold while it is in transit.
The stock in which the trading was largest
was Brooklyn Rapid Transit. 1t was under
pressure most Of the day and lost point. It
has not vet been announced when the annual re-
port of the company will be issued, but it Is
expected TO be out IN a few days. Metropolitan

THE COAL TRADE.

The Coal Trade Journel" thus describes the con-
dltion of the coal trade:
The demand for anthracite has been a quiet one
for some weeks with little more strength in the
latter days of July, but when the middle OF Az Az
gust has passed there will be a decided turn for
the better in this particular unless all signs fail
There has been consdeab BILE tonnage put into stock

come into good play so soon as that dema no

list price OF July a fact, and not theory and Il
viii also prove that The Companies have done wisely
in keeping up the production
Soft coal is growing to be more active. and one
may note in the reports which come to hand an
undrcurrent strength to this branch of the trade
such as it has not had in many months. and we
should be surprised if the prophesied repetition
of last fall activity would really come to. pass.
There is a new source Of supply to the Atlantic
Coast trade during the last week in the resumption
of the Georges Creek district shipments, and this
will give those who want THIS particular grade a
ments. Prices are being, well nlainLaned on the
best grades of fuel at all points. The increased
demand for coal to go abroad is also likely to con-
tinue and will be of benefit 10 certain Of the trade
This is growing slowly, but steadily. to many

While no steps in that direction have yet been
taken it is not improbable that application will ne
made to the New-York Stock Exchange to place on
its list for dealings the British Exchequer notes
which have been subscribed for In this country.
The Mexican bonds. the issue of which was handled
by J. P Morgan & Co. are on the list The list
ing of the British notes would facilitate dealings
in them and establish still closer financial rela-
tions between London and New-York.
