which were merely heavy under traders opera
tons The market looked tired, but 1t did not
appear weak. Financial interests connected
with the big anthracite producing and carry
ing companies DO not believe that the proposed
coal miners strike VIII last long enough to hurt
the actual value OF coal investments. The view
Is taken that the lack Of harmony among the
miners viii be important factor in checking
the strike So called grievances differ in vart-
QUE sections Of the coal region. while, from re-
ports II appears that many miners are not dis
satisfied with prevailing conditions. It is there

Efforts were made TO weaken the coal stocks,
but the absence Of offerings prevented any de-
cdded decline. Reading first preferred was the

ing prices evidently were not cheap enough TO
attract new buyers. The greater number Of
stocks are not dear, but It is evident that buy
ers will not come into the market If they believe
that the chances favor lower quotations And
It is also evident that lower prices can only be
brought about through liquidation by holders
who at the moment. are convinced that condi-
tions governing the actual value Of investments
will not be upset by the November election. In
other words. stocks are held by people who be-
lieve that President Mckinley will be reelected.
The market may yet have political scare IN
which some holders Of securities may sell, but
decline based on such selling would probably
not reach substantial proportions. A moderate
decline might he q benefit to speculation. as 1t
would doubtless carry the market out Of its
