A FIRMER TONE DISPLAYED
Decided Strength Developed After
the Markets Opening.
AEgressiveness shown by the United
States Steel Issues-London II Buy
er at Higher Figures-Deaiings in
Usually Inactive stocks Heavy.

NEW YORK, Sept Although appre-
hersiors respecting tine developments in
the money market in the near future ap-
peared to be today fully as keen as they
We're yesterday the stock market had a
much firmer tone than is displayed then,
and indeed after opening with a rather
uncertain tendency, it developed decided
strength. The recovery in prices set in
upon the development of aggressive
strength in the United States Steel is
sues. the advance in those stocks extend
ing to the remainder of the market.
Rumors were current that an early set
tlement of the labor troubles was likely,
although these reports Were altogether
wanting in any authoritative confirma-
tion. They were, however. particularly
persistent and circumstantial. 1t was
said. indeed. that the United States Steel
Corporation. while it would make no con-
cession whatever to the strikers, would
deal generously with them and that a
mode of settlement had been already ar
ranged.
London was again factor in the mar
ket, substantially higher prices being for
warded from that quarter while foreign
houses continued TO buy here. Their talk
ings on balance amounted to about % eco
firm throughout the day. a per cent
rate of call was established at the open
ing and most of the days borrowing was
effected at that figure. The market for
sterling exchange was inactive and show
ed little alteration from yesterdays s gen.
eral conditions. So far as could be as
certained no arrangements for the import
alton of gold have been undertaken and
none seems likely in the immediate future.
Most OF the days more pronounced
movements were among the specialities
and the usually inactive railway stocks.
The Mexican National issues were par
tfcularly strong, and Chicago and Great
Western advanced on renewed reports
that the control of the company was being
sought in the interests of other North
western lines. Other strong features were
the Atchison shares. Missouri. Kansas
Baltimore and Ohio. The anthracite coal
issues were also decidedly steady. The
movement in st. Paul continued to reflect
the uncertainty of opinion respecting the
rate of dividend to be declared on that
stock next week.
Among the specialties, there were par
ticularly sharp advances scored in Colo
rado Fuel ard Iron, and in Tennessee
Coal and Iron, but little gossip of inter-
est attended either movement The ru-
mors recently current that the control
of both properties was desired in the in
tereSt of the United States Steel Corpora
tion were revived, but met with little
credence.
AS noted the United States Steel issues
were decidedly stror g. and the industrial
quarter generally was firm, with fairly
active dealings in Sugar Retiring and In
ternational Paper. number of particu-
fic for various periods, including the re-

THE UNION NOW CONTROLS.

G.. p. o. Still Indisposed.

There were no new developments yes
terdav :G the controversy that has OBJ
tain,1 Cor the past year between the un-
ion and anti-union press feeders employ
ed in the Government Printing Ofice.
All but one of the non-union workers
abandoned opposition to the union Tues
day morning, and have asked for union
cards.
One woman employed in the press room
of the job room of the Government Print
ing Office who is the single non-union
employe remaining, failed to go to the Of
fice on Tuesday or yesterday. and what
her stand will be when she does appear
is yet unknown.
1t was reported yesterday that she had
carried out an alleged expressed deter
minaticn to give up her situation rather
than be forced into the union. The ru-
NOR, 1t was said last night, was with
out foundation. The woman was indis-
posed on Tuesday and yesterday, and on
that account did not go to work.
Ii is understood she Will report for duty
tomorrow morning, when doubt concern
ing her intention will be removed. 1t is
stated that If she is allowed to work on

EVIDENCES OF UNsouND MIND
Song and Dance the Unremitting Oc-
cupatiOn of Edward Bench

Edward Beach, eighteen years old, OF
12i5 Four-and-a- half Street southwest,
spent last night in the strong room at the
Emergency Hospital, while the physicians
are endeayoring to determine whether he
is mentally unbalanced or simply suffer
ing from the effects of dissipation. He
was arrested yesterday morning at the
corner of Seventh and X Streets south
west by Policemen Dierkoph and WortZ.
Beach appeared at the locality men,
toned about o'clock and endeavored to
enter a ship chambers store on the cor
ner On being denied admission he began
to sing and dance, and nearly the entire
time since then he has continued this ex-
haustive exercise.
In reply to the questions of the police
men he sang and danced, and danced with
them to the patrol box. He danced in
the wagon as he was being taken to the
hospital. and even in the strong room at
the hospital his vocal and terpsichorean
proclivities were not subdued.
The physicians have endeavored to Sc
cure some information from him as to
himself and his people. With the excep-
ton of having given his name and ad-
dress, he has been unable to reply ra-
tionally to any of their questions. Sani-

condition. AS he was in the charge of
the hospital authorities, however, Mr..
Frank refrained, out of courtesy for those
officials, from sending the police sur
geons to examine the boy. The hospital
physicians are confident that he is of un-
sound mind. but in the absence of any
history of the case they were 10th to GER
tify to his being insane.
Little is known of Beach or his ante
cedents, although the police are making
an investigation. At the address which
the youth gave the police were informed
that the boys mother was not at home
and would not return for. some time. 1t
was also ascertained that Beach was
taken with an epileptic fit at Kernan's
Theatre Tuesday evening and was taken
to the Emergency Hospital In the First
precinct patrol wagon. On this occasion.
after being revived by the physicians at
the Emergency Hospital, Beach insisted
on leaving the institution and was per-
mitted to do so.
1t is thought that further action in the
case looking to the commitment of the
young man to the asylum will be taken to-
day.

A campaign seems 10 have been waging
against the AmalgamateG Copper and
Smelters stocks and it has been hinted in
some quarters that insiders were respon-
sible for it, the theory being that some
deal is soon to be announced, and that
stock is being bought in cheap prepara-
tory to the announcement. Numerous
bear tips have been circulated against
both companies recently, which. 1t may
be inferred. originated from the inside
clique. 1t is whispered for instance that
there has been a disagreement in the
management of the Smelters Company
which is causing much friction and III
feeling. Yesterday the recent decline In
these stocks gave way TO a slight ad-
vance, and If this theory of quiet inside
buying Is correct 1t seems likely that the
advance may continue. On the other
hand there are some reasons for believ-
ing thai the decline has been a genuine
one, caused by inside liquidation Ore of
these is the fact that the exports of
copper have fallen off tremendously dur
ing the past year and the company can
hardly be doing as much business as
formerly. The exports of copper in
August were $500 tons, against 900 tons
in August a year ago. The total export
for the first eight months of the present
year was only $500 tons as compared
with 115,174 tons in the same period "A
