urated during the day has tied up
nearly all the mines In the Wyoming
valley and a conservative estimate
places the number Of men idle at AZ
600. This includes the men out in the
Scranton district. Only about 500 OF
these are f-emen. The balance is
made up Of miners, laborers, engi-
neers, breaker boys and machinsts
employed in and about the colleries
Every mine from Pittston TO Naticoke
is affected.
When the whistles blew for work
the firemen refused TO report for duty
and orders We're then issued by the su.
periniendents to close down. The strik

their respective headquarters where
they held meetings and discussed the
situation.

other countries of Europe Oats are high
ef' owing to the rather poor domestic
crop prospects. Hog products were strong
earlier, but broke and finished lower on
liquidation caused by the bear raids.
The feature in the retail trade this
week has been the very large distribu-
ton of all classes of summer goods, in
Cuced by the hot spell. Wholesale dis
trlbution has been comparatively limited,
but it is to be noted that Western jobbera
have experienced a good reassorting de-
mand, based upon hot weather condi-
ions. The textile situation is fully as
favorable as a week ago. Cotton goods
production has felt the influence of reg
ulariy planned curtailment, and, in addt-
ton, has been affected by shut-downs,
due to the heat. The tone of values IS
frmer and the outlook is regarded as en-
couraging.
In the iron and steel trades strikes ana
weather have been features leading to
unsettlement, but just how much idle
ness Is due to the demand of labor Or
CARNATIONS is hard to measure, because
shut-downs of iron and steel mills for re-
are the necessary and usual thing at this
period of the year. The fact is that non
union mills ordered struck by the Anal
gamated society are now running at full
capacity and the employers claim that
they welcome the shutdown Of the Iin ion
works so as to allow of needed repairs.

WEEK IN WALL STREET
Hot weather, Coupled With Holt

NEW YORK, July -Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow villa say: only
three days Of this week were devoted to
business in Wall street, and the market
: especially on Monday and Tuesday, was
narrowed by the tOrrid weather and nat
ural curtailment of outside interest
Transactions were on small scale, and
this fact was as effective as the discom-
fort which the financial community ex-
periencCd in causing the New York stock
exchange members and governors to re
verse a previous decision and determine
to close the board on Friday and Sat
ufday, as Wen as for the legal holiday
on Thursday. This action has been criti-
cised In some quarters as a neglect of
duty on the part of a body which per-
firms such extremely important func-
lions in the financial mechanism of the
. country In the street itself the unusual
step involved was generally approved,
even IN banking circles, though it was
noted that banks and other lenders, in
view of the four days holiday, took the
precaution to call in loans extensively,
putting the money in some cases out at
much higher rate on eXacting pledges
10 be prepared to repay the loans on Fri
day If ii was deemed necessary to call
them, This process led to a decided hard
euinS of call money on Wednesday, the
rate advancing to 1890 per cent, and a
good part of the loans made over the
holiday were at from to 70 per cent.
Prior to this the money market seemed
