STOCK MARKET LETTER OF J. R.
 MCLEAN & co.

New York, Dec. 1.-The stock mar ket was decidedly strong and most ev
 cry active stock, with the exception of Sugar, made sharp advances, with Manhattan in the lead As we told you yesterday, there is something doing in this stock, and the advance is not yet nearly over. Insiders are continuing to buy all the stock offered, and the street supply is getting very scarce. Present indications look like at least 150 within the next few days. Brooklyn Rapid Transit also recovered sharply, al- though trading in this issue was com paratively light, but, like Manhattan, there is a small supply of stock in the street, and it win be evry easy to force an upward movement when the insld- CTS are ready. Copper, too, shared in the better feeling, resulting from re- newed confidence on account of the con servative message of the president
 which traders had time to thoroughly digest before the opening of the mar ket this morning. Sugar was practi-

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
As Reviewed by the House of Prince &

 Whitely.
 New York, Dec. 4.--European adVices this morning were rather featureless. Here the opening of the market was with a generally firm tone. There was nothing on the tapis to disturb the basic conditions of ruling values; stocks are still in strong hands and there seems no pressure to sell on the part of capitalis- tic holders. Copper securities were in a measure only the controlling feature of the market to-day and we should not be surprised if the general market would not before long cut loose from it's influence and adapt itself to ruling favorable conditions
 Transactions for European account were very small.
 The dignifed message of the presi- dent was favorably received every where and is very apt to strengthen faith in American affairs.
 Foreign exchange appears to become commodity of speculation as any other rates vary from hour to hour almost. To-day it is higher and actual short rates are after opening at 4S7 SS quoted at 4S7 5-S.
 London closed strong for Americans.
 Commission business is still restricted but judging from the attendance in the different offices any moment may bring forth an increased speculative de- mand.
 Wheat and the rest of the cereals are acting with a strong understone, prices for wheat and corn and oats are fully one cent higher.
 Cotton shows more animation and we think on the lines heretofore enumer- ated should do better in price.
 The stock market during the closing hour retained it's early general strength and while the market was dull there was no pressure from any source and the close was steady.

Application has already been made for the with | drawal of $S,OOO,0Oo of government bonds on deposit to secure national 1 bank circulation, which is the maxi mum allowed for the month. It is ev- idently intended to offer these bonds for redemption. The eagerness of the banks to withdraw these bonds, and, in consequence, to reduce their circulation is evidence that the premium offered by the government for the redemption of the bonds is the impelling motive, rather than the needs of the money market for additional supplies. The monthly statement of the money in cir culation in the country by the treasury department shows an increase of near ly $5,000,000 during November, in spite of the SIS, 100000 of gold exports and slight decrease in the national bank circulation Anxiety over the money outlook was therefore not in evidence o-day in spite of deposit at the sub treasury for transfer to New Orleans of $350,000. The most notable points of strength in the days market were among the Gould stocks led by Man. haitian, which rose an extreme 45s. This stock served as a leader also of the striking gains in the local traction group. New York Central was con spicuously strong as was Pennsylvania. General Electric roe 334 There were many gains of to points among the Southwesterns, trunk lines, coalers and industrials. Notwithstanding the satis- faction professed over the trust" par agraphs of the presidents message, the transcontinental stocks and United States Steel were the laggards in the advance. Great Northern pref. lost 11s and Northwest 6%, with a rally of 3. The market closed slightly irregular but near te top for many stocks.

Opens With Firm Tone-Amatgamated Copper Goes Up.
 | New York, Dec. 1.-The stock market opened with firm tone to-day, and
 gathered considerable strength during | the course of the day. The rise did not embrace the entire list, however, and the exceptions to the strength were among the very prominent stocks One stock or group of stocks, and then | another were taken up and lifted in price. The dealings in these active stocks was on very large scale, but
 the aggregate of the days dealings in- dicates that the market was not very broad. The general sentiment among the speculative community was one of satisfaction over the contents of the presidents message and over the tone of the comment upon the document in the press. The recommendation of the secretary of the treasury looking to reform of the banking currency were also viewed with satisfaction in the financial district. The steadiness of Amalgamated Copper removed an ex- tremely disturbing influence and was potent factor, though a negative one,
 in the strength of the market. The trading continued to reflect hesitation while the course of this stock continued
 cratic, but when the firm support at
 about last nights level was perceived,
 the general tone of the market became
 decidedly more confident. The trading
 in AmalGamated Copper was still on
 very large scale. The stock nearly
 touched the low record established yes-
 terday for a moment during the morn
 ing but rallied strongly during the
 latter part of the day and closed with
 a net gain of 2B The renewed break
 in the London copper market was ig-
 nored. The fact that no engagements

Port Royal, Pa. June 1.-THE
Pittsburg Coal and Coke company's
shaft No. ? at this place is again on
fire, after steady running for seven
years, and over 30 men are in the
mines, many of whom, it Is feared, will
never be heard from again: sl
About 6 o'clock smoke was. seen to
be issuing from shaft No. 2, which Is
on the line of the Pittsburg and Lake
Erie railroad. It is thought the fire
started from an explosion and that
six men were in the mine at the time
Of the explosion, the men being Jack
Peoples, Tony Stickles, Frank Daven-
port, = DAILY, Lawrence Settler and
John Stakes. Stakes and Settler were
not near the place in which the explo-
sion occurred and upon the arrival Of
a rescue party they were quickly
brought to the surface. after being
nearly overcome by after damp. They
could give no Information as to what
had caused the fire and told the res
cue party that four other men were
entombed. About Z o'clock superin-
tendent William McCune OF West
Newton, general superintendent of
this district; Dennis Wortley, pit boss
of the mine; Michael Roy, foreman
OF the Euclid mines, and several other
bosses, with about 20 men, went down
shaft No. 1, which is just opposite
on the Baltimore and OHIO side of the
river, and .....-
Have Not Been Heard From Since.
About three hours after the rescue
party had been in the mine two more
explosions were heard. Meantime the
crowd around the opening of the shaft
had increased, the crowd including
many mothers, wives and sisters of
men entombed. All sorts of plans
have been suggested for the rescue
of the men. Some talk Of turning the
river into the mines, but many are
opposed to this idea for fear Of drown
ing the miners. All that would be
necessary to let the deluge of water
loose in the mines would be to pull a
plug which was placed in the mines
after the explosion Of seven years
ago and the water would rush in the
mines at rapid rate. DAILY, one of
the men. known to be in the burning
mine, went in for the first time in the
morning, and it is not known who he
is or where he is from.
At Il o'clock four men volunteered
to go down shaft No. and No. 3, and
one man down No. /, but up to this
time it is not known whether they
have succeeded in making any rescue.
Gas and smoke are issuing from the
mines and over zoo men, women and
children are waiting for some news of
relatives. Doctors have been called
and assistance is being offered on

Omaha, June 11.-Judge Baker in
the district court has decided that the
statute known as the female labor
law of Nebraska, prohibiting owners
of manufacturing and mechanical con-
Germs, stores and shops from working
female employees for more than so
hours a week, is constitutional. The
case was one wherein William Wen
ham, a laundryman, was charged with
overworking female labor. The court
held that it was necessary to limit
