MARKET GENERALLY
HIGHER And ACTIVE
Trading Presented Appear
anceS of Iregularity.
Interest shifted Towards MisceIIR-
neOus stocks and SDeciHIties and
in Standard Issues Realizing
sales Were Apparent.

NEW YORK. Feb. The Stock Market
opened active and generally higher. but
with the trading presenting many appear
ances Of irregularity-
Interest again shifted toward the mis-
cellaneous stocks, and the specialties, and
in the standard issues quite heavy profit
realizing sales were apparent.
Strong features this morning were c. c.
c. and 81. l.. Iowa Central, Toledo. St
Louis and Western. the Green Bay issues.
81. Joe and Grand Island. and Chicago,
indianapolis and Louisville.
ST. Paul and Union Pacific were
actively dealt in. and both were compar-
atively heavy. while Southern Pacific was
lower than last nights final figures.
Junior VnnderbiIts strong.
The junior vanderbilts continued strong
In sympathy with the rise in c. c. c. and
St l., with active trading in the Nickle
Plate stocks.
In the Industrial quarter, the United
States Steel issues we're very heavily
dealt in, and were strong.
Peoples Gas advanced on large deal
ings, and Amalgamated Copper was COM
paratively neglected.
Sugar Refining was steady.
Consolidated Gas advanced slightly on
small dealings
London furnished a slightly lower range
OF prices for American stocks, and the
transactions in this market for foreign
account in the early dealings we're in very
small volume.
Confidence Held in Check.
Confidence was to some extent held in
check by the expectation that as a re-
suit OF the weeks heavy shipments of
gold. tomorrow's bank statement might
make a less favorable exhibit than those
of the past few weeks
There was otherwise nothing Of interest
which engaged consideration and little
hght was thrown upon the various gen
eral and particular uncertainties of the
situation.
After the opening the market ruled
very irregular during the forenoon
There was a very sharp recovery noted
IN all OF the local traction stocks. spe-
olal activity appearing in Metropolitan
street Railway and Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit
Reports that a formal announcement OF
the Metropolitan financial transactions
would 4 made next week led TO buying
for both accounts in that stock.
Somewhat Reaetionnry.
ST Paul. Union Pacific. Southern Pa
ciic. and other recently active features
OF the market were socewhat reactionary.
ST Paul preferred on the other hand
advanced on comparatively large dealings.
Amalgamated Copper continued weak
Profit realizing sales were very heavy
In all quarters Of the market. and we're
presumably stimulated by the prospects
that tomOrr0w's bank statement would

PHILADELPHIA CONFERENCE
Report Current That Operators Will
 Offer Increase.

Philadelphia. Oct. 13.-Numerous confer ences took place in this city today rela- tive to the anthracite coal miners strike. the more prominent of the participants being President Baer of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company; President Cassatt of the Pennsylvania Railroad and United States Senator Quay.
 The proceedings at the various meetings were not divulged, but it was evident that some new move Is contemplated by the operators. A report was current here to- day that the weekly meeting of the coal road presidents would be held in this city tomorrow instead of New York according to custom. Tonight. however, 1t was learned on good authority that President Baer will go to New York tomorrow ana that the meeting will be held there as usual.
 As President Baer was leaving ifs office in the Reading Terminal building this evening he was asked as to the truth of the report that the operators contem- plated offering the miners an increase. To this and all other questions he returned his usual answer that he had nothing to say.
 President Baer returned to this city from New York early this morning. He remained in his private car until O'CLOCK when he proceeded to his office and break lasted Two hours later he went to the office of President Cassatt remaining In conference with the latter about forty-nve minutes. The only other person present during the meeting was 2. s. w. Provost, third vice-president of the Pennsylvania Railroad in charge of traffic.

MITCHELL DENIES REPORTS.
Miners Chief Says Union Men are
 Not Working

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 13.-What was looked upon as an important day in the matter of resumption of work in the coal mines passed without any serious trou- ble and each side to the controversy is claiming victory.
 Reports received here from coal com panies all over the region are to the ef- feet that at least twelve collieries and four washeries started operations today. President Mitchell, in a talk with the correspondents, asserted that reports re- ceived by him from his lieutenants in the field showed fewer men were at work to- day than last week.
 1t is quite evident that extra efforts were made on both sides to gain an ad- vantage. The soldiers of the Third Bri- gade were sent into the outlying mining towns in this region long before starting up time to patrol the roads leading to the collieries, but they were not compelled to rescue any one from theSstrikers.
 The companies superintendents are au- thority for the statement that for the past two days the mine workers have been making house to house canvasses holding the men in line.
 Tn an interview tonight President Mitch ell summed up the general situation as follows:
 T have heard from every point in the coal region today and my information is to the effect that fewer men were at work today than there were last week. There were assertions from the camps at Scranton, Haxelton, the Panther Creek Valley and Shamokin. The report that twelve collieries resumed operations Is not true.
