A TRIFLE NEARER TOGETHER.
Probability of Big Strike of Miners
Somewhat Lessened.

Probability of Big Strike of Miners
Somewhat Lessened.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. The chaotic
differences between the coal operators
and miners existing late at night, were
somewhat better in the morning light.
The joint scale committee has decided to
allow the subcommittee appointed last
Saturday to wrestle with the scale. The
national board officers Of the United
Mine Workers, save President Mitchell,
were excluded from the snb-committee,
deliberations. just before going into,
the meeting, President FL. L. Chapman
of Ohio, said: &
e 1--WE will grant the miners an advances,
Of 1s cents ton on the screen basis no,
more, and this is plain talk We decided.
last night to do this
A national board member Of the,
United Mine Workers, who is also a.
member of the joint scale committee,
said: .t -
ssThe miners end of the joint com
mittee, at their conference, agreed to .ac-
.cept Is cents advance; to allow the screen
basis in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and
give Illinois and Indiana run of mine
basis. The miners will not go below
this 15 cents advance. If a settlement
is not made by Saturday night, I fully
believe that there will be a general
strike in the four states now in the in.
terstate agreement
The Illinois and Indiana miners are
as determined as ever not to give up the
run of mine basis. Illinois with hen
$4,000 strike fund will hold ont, the
leaders say, to the bitter end H an
agreement is made on a 15 cents per ton
advance for screened lump coal, it viii
mean about two-thirds Of this increase
where run of mine basis is adopted.

LONDON, Feb. 2.-2:50 p. MN the
absence Of exciting war news the ma
tion and the newspapers have had time
to discover the utter lack of relation ex-
listing between the feeling of the people
and the temper Of the government as
demonstrated in parliament, where, in
stead of relieving the grave anxiety of
the country by the declaration of meas
ures it is proposed to take in behalf Of
the national safety, the ministers con-
tinue to demonstrate their inability to
grasp the situation, by beating the air
with recriminations self R-accusatory de-
fenses and chickering's as to the degree. of
responsibility attachable to the respec-
I tive departments of the government
The disgust, almost despair, noticeable
on all sides, is voiced by the ultra-min-
isterial organ, The Globe, which says:
t'The heart Of the empire seems par
alyzed, while its extremities are in full
vigor. Thus far only one statesman in
the front rank has struck the right
note, and that is Lord Rosebery."

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, August Slower cables
and a slack cash trade depressed the
wheat market to-day, September clos
ing sc under yesterday. Corn closed
closed &c lower and cats A@ase down.
AT the close provisions were 5@7hc
higher to sc lower
Wheat was quiet throughout the day.
Liverpool was easy and Argentine ship
ments, 9S4 600 bushels, compared with
the $4,000 bushels jche previous week.
This condition OF affairs, combined
with somewhat better harvesting
weather in the spring wheat territory,
coaxed trade to the selling side. Sep
TENDER opened at 74K@745sc, and sold
off to 74Ac. At this point st. Louis
claimed some export sales and this, to-
gether with a moderate amount sold
here, was of sufficient promise to in
fluence fair amount OF buying, under
which September rallied to 745sc. AS
these sales we're not, so far as the
trade knew, followed by others, sup
port of the bulge melted away. Long
stuff in moderate quantities came out
and the market sagged to 1880, and
closed weak &c lower at 74c.
New York reported 20 loads taken for
export Seaboard clearances were
equal in wheat and flour to 10000
bushels Primary points received l.
046, 600 bushels, compared with $4,000
bushels last year. Minneapolis and Du
luth reports $50 cars, against 312 last
week and SIS a year ago Local re-
ceipts were 1926 cars, 29 of contract
grade. The trade in corn was not ex-
tensive and largely in the way of prep
aration for delivery day-that is, get
ting rid of September purchases and
buying instead corn at 1c discount. Sen
timent was rather bearish all day.
Gables were lower, the weather was
favorable and a bumper crop was pre-
dicted for iowa Receipts were 20
cars. Country acceptances were still
light, although larger than yesterday.
A large amount OF changing was done
in the corner where cats transactions
are carried on. Liquidation OF Septem-
Der in favor OF deferred futures was
general. September sold between 13sc
and z14c, closing A@asc down at
1%c. October closed at 215s G21%c.
Receipts were 322 cars.
Provisions were active and firm on
good cash business ana the execution

best demand was for lard and ribs, and
these held strong. but pork eased of
after the bulge. September pork sold

Stccks-Except for the rather active
selling of Sugar and Peoples Gas,
there was not particle of animation
in to-day's stock market The sympa-
thetic effect of the weakness of these
two specialties wiped out the slight
opening gains in some of the inter-
national stocks. Again at the close
there was sufficient time for the short
interest, which was averse TO leaving
contracts uncovered over the three
days holiday, to stiffen the price of
some of the rails, but the general tone
was easy, owing to a late drive against
Peoples Gas. Among those to show
notable frmness were Southern Pa
cifc, New York Central and Baltimore
& Ohio The weakness of Peoples
Gas gave a striking illustration of the
lack of consistency in the minds of
professional operators. The other day
this stock advanced on the report that
a newly organized company in Chi
cago was in control of interests friend
ly to Peoples Gas. The professional
Intelligence by to-day had arrived at
the conclusion that the formation of
this friendly company must be the
slignal for war upon the organized gas
company, the rival of the Peoples.
The stock was accordingly sold indus
triously at an expense of "a in its
price. The movement in Sugar was
about equally independent of the news
of the day, and was apparently due to
realization on the advance in the re-
fined product which was made yester-
day. The part taken by the profess
ional element was based on a scrutiny
CT HE source of orders In the stock, and
when the traders thought they could
trace selling orders to inside sources
they tuailed on and sold. Tobacco and
Brooklyn Transit were weak during
the morning, but partly recovered
later in the day. Chicago Terminal
preferred lost IA, Union Bag preferred
15s and National Steel preferred ".
Consolidated Gas advanced ia on
light transactions when the announce
ment was made of the declaration of
quarterly dividend of 2 per cent. on
the stock, thus restoring the rate pre-
vailing before the recent local gas war
Pennsylvania suffered somewhat from
the effect of it's statement of earnings
for July, the increase in net earnings
on the lines east of Pittsburg and Erie
directly operated being practically Off
set by the decrease on the lines west
Of those points directly operated. The
ST. Paul & Omaha also returned large
decrease in gross earnings for July.
The Chesapeake & Ohio showed Il
handsome net increase in earnings for
July, as all Of the coal roads have
done AS the active demand for coal
is factor in keeping up operating ex-
penses OF railroads generally other
railroads did not respond. Money
market conditions. consisting of an
easing of the London discount rate
and the promise of a strong bank
statement tomorrow, were ignored.
The bond market was barren of in
cident. United States old As declined
Il in the bid price.
