TROUBLE IN THE WIND.

Pn imterS and Decorator. and Employ
crx CnnnGt Reach nm Agreement.
MINNEAPOLIS, March 22.-In spite
Of the fact that the members of the
Painters and Decorators union have Of
fered a reasonable proposition to the
bosses. and the scale asked for is lower
than that of any city of the size of
Minneapolis in the country, there seems
to be q likelihood that there will be Z
clash between the union and the bosses.
A. G. cambridge, business agent Of the
Painters, Union has the following %
say in regard to the situation:
'"There has been no settlement yet,
and do not think there will be. Some
time ago our committee offerels to conf
promise the matter by fixing he mimi
mum wage to be paid during the COM
ing year at 32h cents per hour instead
of IS cents, the price first asked by the
union. We thought this a very liberal
concession, but the bosses appeared to
be of a contrary opinion, for they re-
fused to treat with us on any other
basis than 80 cents an hour. We have
made no other offer and do not intend
to. The master painters have been
given to- understand that the union will
sign working contracts stipulat ting 32h
cents as the minimum wage, but that
if we are forced into a strike we will
strike for IS cents per hour

MINNEAPOLIS BUILDING TRADES.
Affiliated Unions Report Prospects
For Coming Season Bright.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 22.-Meetings
Of the Building Trades Council are we'll
attended and much business is trans
acted at every meeting. All the unions
affiliated with the council report that
prospects for goods seasons business
this coming summer are bright, and
that there is apparently no reason why
all concerned should not enjoy a most
prosperous summer. Most Of the scales
submitted by the various unions have
been accepted by the employers, and
there is little ground for apprehension
of any labor troubles which will in any
way interfere with thhe seasons work.
The opposition which was manifested
in some quarters earlier in the season
by some Of the employers to the central
body seems to have died out, and bet
ter understanding of the objects of the
council, and consequently a. more FRIEND
ly feeling, has taken place.
The largest and best contractors ami
employers have only the most kindly
feelings for the central body, land real

ties concerned that it is in existence,

business through the central organizaz

throughout. In spite of favorable IN
terpretations of Saturdays bank state
ment there is some uneasiness persisting
the rest of the season. The whole tone
OF foreign markets continues much de-
pressed. At the same time it is to be
noted that the rise in sterling exchange
here has been checked. Today's action
by the Bank of England in advancing
the price of American eagles even indi-
Gates some apprehension OF future de-
mand for gold from New York. Should
the demand for sterling exchange for the
purpose of repayment of foreign bor-
rowings come to an end and the belated
movement of cotton quickly grow, there
can be little doubt that exchange
would fall to the gold import point al
most at once. The notable decline in
the movement of grain over the rail-
roads exercised some depressing influ-
ence on the market. The closing was
unsteady but at top prices for number
of stocks
There was decrease in the demand for
railroad bonds and the movement of

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 14.--Efforts by large
speculative interests to sustain and adj
vance the stock market continued In
evidence today. They succeeded In
overcoming the early weakness, but as
the level of prices rose over that of Sat
urday. their following decreased and
the advance lost it's force. 1t was not
aggressive at any time and was re-
stricted to a few stocks, notably st.
Paul and the Pacifics The elimination
of large portion of the short interest
as a result Of the advance late last
week deprived the market of an impor-
tant element of strength. 1t was evident
that sustained advance at this time
would have to depend on the efforts of
the larger financial powers. These ele-
ments were supposed last week to have
embarked on campaign for the ad-
vance owing to inside information of
plans to settle the Northern Pacific
tangle, and apparently last weeks re-
ports on that subject We're either not
we'll founded or premature. The sus-
picion has gained force that the circula-
tion of those reports was manipulative
measure against the shorts, or was de-
signed to test the possible effect upon
speculation of the actual announcement
of some such measure. The perception
energies that measures to finance the
Northern Pacific settlement are the
great object to be attained at present
rather than large Interior projects of
additional consultations. The prevalent
rumor of an assignment by the financial
powers of the control of st. Paul to
Union Pacific as compensation for re-
linquishment of the control of Northern
Pacific to the Morgan Hill interest does
not find great credence. Such a settle
ment would not provide for the neutral
ization of the Burlington system as
competitor of Union Pacific, which was
the vital contention of Union Pacific
throughout the quarrel. Nevertheless,
st. Paul showed itself the most sensitive
stock in the market today, falling early
in the day IL below Saturday and ris-
ing later to 2A above. The rest of the
market followed the movement in St.
Paul, though over lesser range
