Western Union Leads.

Western Union was the leader Of the
entire market in extent of trading. and
retained the greater part of the extreme
advance of nearly a point. The steady
increase in activity in this usually quiet
specially and the continued upward
tendency in price are exciting consid-
cradle interest. Reports on the cause
OF the advance are conflicting but ac-
cording 10 semi-official information part
OF the improvement reflects the expecta-
uon of considerable increment in net
earnings, as result of the recent in
PRODUCTION Of material economies IN
operation. Its long dividend paying rec

Rise in Southern Pacific.

The general market was strengthened
also by vigorous upward movement in
Southern Pacific. which was credited TO
commission house identified with the
operations Of one Of the principal mar
ket leaders. Just about at the close an
official announcement was made that
pending the issue of a circular to stock
holders OF the Southern Railway, .sug-
gesting and recommending an extension
OF the period for the voting trust, action
on the dividend on the preferred stock
would be postponed
This policy is the result of a COM
munieation from the voting trustees. an
nouncing the request of holders of large
amounts OF Southern Railway common
and preferred stocks. Pending the re-
ceipt of additional authoritative infor-
nation on the subject, the financial com
munity appears 10 regard the incident
as favorable augury regarding com
prehensive plans for the benefit of all
OF the Southern Railway systems.

The Market Develops
Strength, Although Deal
ingS Are Small.
THE MONETARY SITUATION
Support Follows Another Bad Break in
Colorado Fuel and Iron-Rise in
Southern Pacifc-Western Union the
Leader, at an Advance.

NEW YORK. Aug. 22.-After a period
of hesitancy. due to the un-sual uncer-
tainty regarding the end week monetary
indications, the market developed steadi-
ness and, later, positive strength in a
number OF cases, and net results of the
days operations were almost general
gains in prices. The volume of trading
however, while fairly large. showed an
appreciable reduction from the business
record Of previous days. The known
movements of money-that is, records OF
the receipts of shipments of cash to and
from the interior, furnished by the indi-
vidual banks, and the result of their
dealings with the subtreasury, as dis
tinguished from the system employed by
the banks of averaging those movements
indicated. up to the close of business
yesterday, a moderate balance for the
banks.
Owing to recent shifting of accounts
incidental to very large syndicate opera
tions and the liquidation yesterday par
ticularly induced by the severe break in
: Colorado Fuel and Iron, the interest of the
financial community today turned almost
entirely upon the question of the proba-
Bile changes in the loans and deposits of
the banks. The small gain in cash indi-
Gated this week was something of a dis
appointment. owing to the early pros
poets of the expected gain from the in
terror being supplemented by fairly
substantial gain from the subtreasury.
The Washington times., 1902-08-23
Loss to Banks.

Notwithstanding payments for pen
sions by the subtreasury slightly in ex-
cess of last weeks figures, and dis
bursements OF over $4,000 coo for domes-
tic goods, heavy customs collections and
other drafts upon the banks caused an
actual net loss to the local institutions
on the subtreasury account this week of
over $300,0 900, as the S5O0,0O in gold
drawn for export does not appear in the
subtreasury statement.
1t is known that some of the larger
banks have decreased their loans and
deposits materially, and in one or two
cases have increased their cash from
local sources. Doubtless a large pro-
portion OF the money placed in the
Street this week was supplied by insti-
tutions that are not members OF the New
York Clearing House Association, or by
individual capitalists. for whom the local
banks are carrying heavy deposits.
The more cheerful sentiment was fos-
tered by evidence of support, after an
early further sharp break in Colorado
Fuel and Iron, by an absence of pressure
in other directions. and by renewed ex-
pressions of confidence that the settle
ment of anthracite coal strike Will not
now be long DELAYED

CAPT. MEREDITH's REPORT.
Years Operations Of the Engraving
and Printing Bureau.

Capt. William NJ. Meredith, director of the
bureau of engraving and printing, has sub
mitted his annual report of opera tions of
the bureau for the fiscal year ending June
30 last. In the report Capt. Meredith says:
The aggregate number of sheets deliv-
cred during the fiscal year was 139, 167 ,359
Or this amount there were 81, 1S2, 800 sheets
of United States notes. silver certificates
and bonds; ., 403, ,1',2 sheets of national bank
notes; 54,5I2, 60l sheets of internal revenue
Stamps; 321, 500 sheets of customs stamps
45,SSo,cS0 sheets OF postage stamps; 1851
542 sheets of checks, drafts, etc, and 242-
$50 sheets of stamps for Porto Rico Cuba
and the Philippine Islands. There was an
increase this year over last of II 6O9, ,OGS.
The aggregate amount expended for all
purposes connected with the work of the
bureau was s2,957 .031.74. OF the amount
expended Sl0I, was for new machin-
cry, s11. - for increase in the value of
supplies and printed stock and $41, ,631. 90
for employees detailed to other branches of
the public service.
THE rapid and large increase in the work
of the bureau since July l. 1900, has re-
quired the organization of a night force of
100 printers and their assistants besides
the extension at times of the hours of la
Dor of the entire printing force equal to
one-fourth time. The working of a night
force, consisting, as it does, in a great part
of young women, who are thus required to
pass through the streets to their homes at
late hour of the night, is decidedly objec-
tionab ble AS every available foot of space
in the present building and the extensions
is occupied, the only way that this can be
obviated is by the erection of an additional
building for the use of this bureau 1 have
the honor. therefore, to recommend that the
attention of Congress be called to the neces-
sity for the erection of such building"

DISAPPOINTMENT TO GIBBONS.
Cardinal Hoped Coal Strike Would Be
Settled Yesterday.

BALTIMORE, October 4.-Cardinal Glib
bons today furnished to the Evening News
the following his views on yesterday $
conference between President Roosevelt,
the coal operators and President Mitchell:
I'm common with every other person in
the country / had looked forward to the
conference Of yesterday with the most
eager and hopeful anticipation. Certainly
it was a noble opportunity, and President
Roosevelt cannot be too highly commended
for the effort made by him to end amicably
strike that has been so prolonged and
the cause Of so much anxiety, and no DOUBT.
also, of considerable distress.
Without venturing to express any opin-
ion as to the legal rights involved in the
matter at issue, l cannot refrain from ex-
pressing my sympathy with the workers in
the mines in their effort to better their
condition. 1 hoped from the bottom of my
heart that some adjustment fair.to both
sides would come from the conference and
If the dispute had beer left by mutual
agreement in the hands of the President
himself to arbitrate l confident there
would have been a general feeling of salts
faction. Unhappily, that was not to be,
and my disappointment that the conference
has proved without fruit is ACUTE

COMMENT ON THE CONFERENCE.
Views Of London Papers on Efforts Of
President to Stop Strike.

LONDON, October 4.-Presdent Roose-
velt's Intervention in the coal strike attracts
great attention in Great Britain. Pending
it's result business in the American depart
ment of the stock exchange was yesterday
virtually at a standstill and the coal mar
ket is certain to be strongly affected. Long
dispatches from the United States, describ-
ing the situation, are published in the news-
papers this morning, which nearly all devote
editorial articles to the matter, applauding
President RooSeVeltS courage in ignoring
tradition and red tape in the endeavof to
effect a settlement of the dispute, but dis
playing no surprise at the failure of his
laudable efforts.
The Standard says: President Roose-
vet's action raised questions important to
every Industrial community. The question
of how far the executive of the state TO In
terfere in labor conflicts is a point which,
like the kindred subject of International ar
bitration is one upon which 1t is easier to
cherish praiseworthy ideals than to reduce
them to practice.
The Daily Chronicle considers that praise
worthy appeals to patriotism and good feel-
ing do not suffice in such cases; that the
conciliator must go to the heart of the
matter and discuss the points in dispute and
of possible concession in detail In the pres
ence of both parties
In an editorial article the Times expresses
the hope that President Roosevelt's inter-
yention may not be without success and
says:
THAT the head executive should attempt
to mediate in a labor dispute and risk the
chance of failure argues either that he en-
tertains an almost certain conviction Of
success or that he holds the position to be
growing both desperate and intolerable"
The Times then refers to the rumor that
1t is the intention of the Washington gov
ernment itself to undertake coal mining in
Pennsylvania, and says:
President Roosevelt has shown hfmsef
before now to be man Of in1nite re-
source, and one whom it is difficult TO de-
feat. 1t is rather to his powers Of persTa-
sion, however, that one hopes his success
may ultimately be due"

RAIN STOPS MANEUvERs.
Very Unpleasant Conditions at Fort
Riley, Kan.

FORT RILEY, Kan, October 4.-The
maneuvers at Camp Root are stuck in the
mud. So firmly are they planted that it
will be at least forty-eight hours before
anything can be undertaken.
Thirty-six hours of cod ra;n thirty hours
of bowling gale. which has driven the
rain with such violence that 1t stings as it
strikes, have made conditions the reverse
of pleasan in the camp.
General Bates this morning was again
compelled to postpone the field maneuvers
until further orders. The dirt roads over
which the men would be compelled to march
are in an almost impossible condition. With
fine weather on Sunday 1t is believed that
the ground will dry sufficiently to permit
the resumption of the maneuvers on Mon
day.

VIOLATION OF BERLIN TREATY.
Russian Warship Passes Turkish Forts
in the Bosphorus.

CONSTANTINOPLE,O October 4.-Excited
comment has been caused by the fact that
the Grand Duke Nicholas arrived here on
the Russian ironclad Georgi Pobiedonosetz,
which, owing to the insstence of Russia,
was permitted at the last moment to pass
the naval forts. The warship anchored in
full view of the Yildiz Kiosk. The censor
suppressed all mention Of the word iron
Clad" but the Mussulman population was
deeply impressed by what was regarded as
another instance of Russia overriding the
clause of the Berlin treaty, which closes
the Bosphorus to foreign warships.
The sultan Is showing extraordinary at
tention to the grand duke and Is treating
him on the same footing as a sovereign.
