season. but II was the highest in several years.
Transactions reached the enormous total OF about
one million bales. The shorts nothing less
than furious TO cover. AT times SO intense was the
excitement that brokers would be offering to buy
cotton at two or three points above the price at
which others offering TO sell It, While the
demand general. and largely from European
sources. the feature Of the local market was the
apparently Unsuitable demand from a Wall Street
house reputed to BIS heavily short Of March con-
tracts. and also rumored to have been a heavy

number of bearish dispatches. This concern bought
enormous quantities of cotton, especially foC Au-
delivery. At the best point the market showed
the unusual advance of Is to 80 points The record

MINERS Win
President Mitchell Declares
Strike Off
WORK RESUMED MONDAY
No Further Trouble in the
Coal Regions, or in Get~
ting Coal

Hazleton, Pa, Oct. 26.-The great
coal strike is settled, the miners &C
cept the Increase offered by the COM
panies and President Mitchell has de-
clared the strike off. He says in part:
Gentlemen:-Afte carefully can
wasting the entire strike situation we,
your officers, district and national,
have concluded that your victory is 50
nearly complete that no good end can
be served by continuing the strike
longer. The contest has been in pro-
gress for 80 days and the companies
employing you have, with few excep-
tions, signitied their willingness to
pay the scale of wages formula ed by
the Scranton convention of October II
and ID.
We are aware that some disappoint-
ment and dissatisfaction has been
caused by the failure of the operators
in districts one and seven to separate
the reduction in the price of powder
from the advance in wages, but, after
careful inquiry, we are satisfied that
each mine employe will actually re-
ceive an advance Of ten per cent. on
the wages formerly paid. In the
Schuylkill and Lehigh regions the
largest companies have agreed that
the sliding scale should be suspended,
and that wages should remain station
airy at ten per cent. until April /,
1901, thus removing one of the mi
quities Of which you have complained
for years.
While it is true that you have not
secured redress for all your wrongs,
while it is true that the increase in
your earnings will not fully compen-
safe you for the arduous lobor you are
compelled to perform in the mines,
you have established powerful Or
ganization which if maintained and
conducted on business principles will
enable you to regulate many Of your
local grievances and make your en-
ployment less hazardous and more
profitable than before the strike be-
gan.
GAS there are some few companies
who have neither posted, notified nor
signified in ny other manner their
willingness to pay the ten per cont
advance in wages and suspend the
sliding scale we would advise that nm.
less the men employed by such com
panies receive notice before Monday |
that the advance will be paid they re-
main away from the mines and con-
tinue on strike until the companies
them agree to the condl-
lions offered by the other companies;
and the employees of the companies
who have offered the advance of the |
per cent and abolished the sliding
scale are hereby authorized to resume |
work Monday Oct. 80, and to be pre-
pared, if called upon, to contribute
reasonable amount of your earnings |
for the maintenance of those who may |
be compelled to continue on strike.
(Signed) JOHN MITCHELL,
President.
