THE MARKETS
Wall Street Review.

New York. Oct. l0.-Today's early de-
retreat of the operators who had bought
yesterday under the inspiration of the
current rumors of an imminent settle
mcnt of the coal strike. The decline car
ried some bear selling as an incident and
the small rally at the close represented
the covering by this room trading ele-
ment. The closing itself was heavy. Al
ter the opening selling the market be-
came wholly professional in it's propoG-
tons and the total dealings for the day
fell well below half million shares. The
fact of the eve of the Jewish day OF
atonement was an incidental factor in
the growing dullness of the market and
the disposition to close up contract. 50
that the market fell into practical stag
nation late III the day. The Inference
is warranted from this state of affairs
that speculative operation has settled into
Il feeling Of resignation to a waiting mar
kct. pending the relief of the money
stringency, or some tangible development
indicating the prospect of a settlement OF
the coal strike. The resumption today of
conferences and the passing of messen
gers back and forth from j. =. Morgan's
office to that of the political leaders who
'are attempting settlement and per-
Sonal conference between those leaders
and number Of coal road presidents
were without apparent effect in re-awak-
ening yesterdays hope that settlement
was at hand. Prices continued to drop
throughout the period of the conferences
and upon their adjournment with the an
nouncemcnt that the situation remained

movement above referred to. Total sales
