New York, June 2S.-The Commercial Ad- yertiser's London financial cablegram:
 The news of the relief of Admiral Sey mours party caused slight futter in the markets here today. Great operators were soon absorbed again in the complicated conditions and the market relapsed into stagnation. Americans were in narrow limits and dealings in them were meagre.
 The bank sold 14,000 pounds gold in French coin and lost 20,000 pounds to the continent A large business was done in loans at 3h per cent. There were no dis counts to speak of, a fact which was regarded as significant in view of the absence of an increase in the authority of other securities shown in bank returns.

Afternocn Session

President Young called the joint conven- ton to order at 2:10 and stated that the first business to be taken up was the reading of the operators proposition. This was read by Secretary Adams and was as folows
 'Whereas, One year ago the operators of this district, recognizing the improved con- ditions in prospect for the coal and iron trade, not only conceded to their employees an increase in wages, but a higher scale than ever before prevailing in the district, the increase in the wages of the miners amounting, in cases, to 70 per cent over the lowest scale in operation during the depressed trade conditions, and in all cases to over 40 per cent; and
 "Whereas, The miners and other em- ployes have presented to us a scale for the coming year which will further increase the cost of mining from 20 to 40 per cent;
 Be it resolved, That as the conditions of the coal and iron trade do not justify any advance in costs and in view of a rap idly declining market, we cannot agree on any advance on last years prices, and .,rherefore, We propose to pay the next year the same scale of prices now ebeing paid all other conditions, rules and regu- iations to remain as at present" A motion to adopt the proposition was made and President Baxter of the Tennes- see Coal, Iron and Railroad Company on seconding the motion, stated that he had
  day before that the proposition would be accepted and he regretted to see dispo- siton to vote it down.
 He said: "The company I represent is owned by men at distance, and I am here as their representative. If I were to accept the proposition you have made here they would put a new man in my place, and the directors would justly discharge me. I tell you now for once and for all that before I would sign the contract you have offered I would lay my arm there Qn- dicatng a stove near him) and let it be severed.

 The directors have confidence in me and believe I will deal fairly with them and with you. If I were to sign your con- tract it would be said I had been driven to the wall, that Baxter had been wrecked, that Baxter believed in organized labor and they had ruined him; that he year after year signed contracts with the men until now 1t is a question who owns the proper ty see confronting us a crisis, and we are nearing the line that divides us.

The defeat by this convention of the first section settled the question so far as the balance of the scale is concerned" He suggested vote be taken on the scale as a whole, and this suggestion was embodied in a motion by a delegate.

BETTER WEATHER REPORTS

New York June 2S-Events of the day
 on the Cotton Exchange were not calcu-
 lated to clear up fhe confusion of opinions
 and mixed state of sentiment in general.
 The statistics came to the forefront and
 cut leading influence in the English and
 New Orleans markets as well as in local
 circles. A great stir of spinners and shorts
 in Liverpool for the present crop caused
 one of the most sensational advances in
 that market remembered, which rise, in
 turn, caused a decided uplift here and in
 the south. The far months fluctuated in
 the reverse direction in keeping with bet ter weather reports and predictions and selling by these holders believed the mar
 zet to be in a top heavy condition as a
 result of the late closing up of short ac
 counts. At the time of our opening values in Liverpool were to points up on near months but 21s to 3 points off in the remote options
 First sales indicated an advance of ?. to 6 points on the old crop and a decline of to points on new crop cotton here, with
 the room trade very much at sea as to just which way to turn. The later reports from Liverpool increased the nervousness
 
 effectively checked fresh speculation by the outside public Disquieting reports Tn connection with affairs in China intensified the general excitement prevalent Liquidation set in after the opening and forced prices down to about last night prices on summer months and to Il points
 not lower on far months. quick turn of front in response to a perpendicular rise in Liverpool sent values up 10 to 12 points, A long period of apathy gave way to renewed 1eVerish fluctuations and spas modc trading in the last hour PrIces once more took an upward direction on urgent demand from southern and foreign interests, which were influenced by reports of heavy spot sales for export in New Orleans and southern markets. The market closed firm for near months with June 4 points, July 30 points, August 24 points and September points higher. Later months were steady at d net decline of to points,
