TALK OF ENDING
The Steel STRIKE
President Shaffer AVerSe to Discussing
the RumOr That Comes From Wheel
ing--Situation at the Mills.

Pittsburg, Aug. 2S.-Probable peace for
the striking steel workers within ten days
as outlined In dispatches from Wheeling.
was the interesting topic in strike circles
nlere today but nothing definite could be
learned. President Shaffer was averse 20
lslking on the subject. Finally he said
shat while the report mught be true. he
had no knowledge of 1t. He did not see
how settlement could be affected with
out the Amalgamated association. and
while some might hope for such good
luck. yet in the face OF gains made by the
strikers he would not back down from
his original position.
The steel officials reiterated their pre-
vious statements that no oyertures for
peace had come from the strikers and
that the strike could only be settled by
the return OF the men 10 their places.
The peace proposition sent out by
President Shaffer 10 the members OF the
executive board or the Amalgamated as
sociation for their approval previous TO
presentation 10 the United States steel
Corporation by the representatives OF the
National Civic Federation. lends color 10
the peace rumors. and the provisions OF
she plan were being discussed zy the
strikers at Lindsay and McCutcheons'
works today.
The proposition provides for a provision
al scale not TO be signed for this plant
leaving recognition OF the Union open
The men stated that they were prepared
TO return 10 work tomorrow, under those
conditions. They stated that all they
would require would be that the Amalga-
mated scale be paid and that union men
be allowed perfect liberty and no dis
elimination shown.
Notwithstanding the reports that all
preparations had been made the tinplatc
mill at Demmler did not resume this
morning There was much excitement in
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1901-08-28

I the vicinity of the plant all night and
several hundred strikers guarded the APP
proaches TO the property, but no new men
appeared and there was not the slightest
disorder.
1t was reported that two hundred ma
chinists and helpers went back 20 work
at the works of the National Tube Co.,
but this is denied by the strikers who
say that no others are IN the mill than
the one hundred or so who have been
making repairs for some time
The Star tin plate plant In this city
was running three turns this morning.
This was made possible with the sixteen
extra men taken into The works last
night Supt Arthur Piper said they now
had eighty skilled men at work and be-
fore the end OF the week he expected 20
have the four mills In full operation
There were many strikers pickets mill
workers and others about the works today
but everything was quiet.
The strikers claim that there are not
nearly so many skilled workmen I'm the
plant as the management would have the
public believe
Six mills were running full at Painters
ana the management was preparing 70
mill. They assert that they will have
all these departments I'm operation within
a few days, and that they will turn out
the scheduled amount Of material
The Monongahela plant is still closed
tight, and the manager denied the report
that IL was intended to- import men from
Ohio TO start operations. The condi-
tions are unchanged at the Penna tube
and Continental. tube works and also at
the Republican Iron works. Not "a man
IL at work In any OF the plants named
and there are no indications OF early

The strikers are quiet. and are remain

LONDON MONEY MARKET.

Advertisers London financial cable
gram:
No business to speak of was done
anywhere on this side to-day. London
is waiting the settlement which will be
begun on Monday. The tone was dull
Mining contangos were heavy; money
is being held back for the arrangement
of American accounts and mines were
being sold freely to make up the diff
ferences in Americans.
In the best informed quarters they
say that the talk of failures and losses
here are grossly exaggerated. The
panic is looked upon simply as a case
of heavy profits heavily diminished,
and the expectation Is that those with
good credit can easily be tided over.
One prominent jobber's account was

The market for Americans was sin

The start in Americans was good;
the first prices were from TO IL above

Chicago, Milwaukee G st. Paul took
the lead for rise with a squirt of u

NEW YORK, May 10-There was a
marked and general improvement in
the condition of affairs on Wall street
to-day, and this evening prices are
generally almost back to the levels of
the first part of the week, with a gem
eral restoration of confidence all along
the line. London was very strong,
there being advances in Americans OF
as much as IS per cent, Il marked
change over the conditions of Thurs
day. This braced the New York mar
ket for the opening, and the recovery
was both prompt and general The
most notable gains of the morning were
in Union Pacific, Burlington and st.
Paul, while the evident collapse Of the
Northern Pacific corner was heralded
as a good omen. Northern Pacific COM
mon sold as nigh as los, and Southern
Pacific to 49, a very good price. The
fractions recovered in good shape, and
Manhattan looks like its old self again

blow came in the Illinois crop report.

of corn still remained in farmers hands,
this being I5.0u0 900 bushels more than
