ASK FOR COAL ROADS RECEIVER
BOSTON CITIZENS TAKE ACTION TO END COAL FAMINE
NINE OFFICIALS CONFER WITH AUTHORITIES
NINE COMPANIES AFFECTED
PETITION FOR A RECEIVER FOR ROADS
CARRYING COAL.

Boston. Sept. PA committee of citizens
headed by the publishers of a Boston news
paper. to-day sought relief in the courts from
the present coal shortage and high prices by
asking for receiver for the coal Companfes
and coal carrying roads. bill in equity was
filed in the Supreme Court against the following
named corporation
The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Com
pany, the Central Railroad Of New-Jersey. the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company. the Delaware
Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company
the Delaware and Hudson Company the New
York Ontario and Western Railroad Company
the Erie Railroad Company, the Pennsylvania
Coal Company and the Philadelphia and Read
ing Coal and Iron Company
The petitioners ask that a receiver be ap-
pointed for the benefit of all concerned upon
such terms and in such manner and with such
agents and servants and with such rates Of
wages and other conditions of employment. and
at such prices for goods produced and sold as
the shall from time time adjudge
proper.
The bill is based upon the legal theory Of the
coal situation given by H. W. Chaplin, lawyer.
Mr. Chaplin says in support of his position:
Since the public has right in the mines
right TO have coal forthwith mined for i'm
mediate consumption, and has right to have
that coal Immediately TRANSPORTED out of the
mine regions by the coal CARRYING roads,
court of equity, if other solution of the diff
ficuIty is open, has authority to, and upon the
application of a representative proportion of
the people undoubtedly would appoint d re-
ceiVer or receivers, 10 take into his or their
hands the whole business now in the hands OF
the anthracite coal combine and to run it
in its place
A subpoena to serve on the defendants CIV
ing notice of the bringing of the suit is to be
taken out on Monday by the plaintiffs lawyer,
and it will probably be returnable in Novem-
Der.

The critical coal situation is causing a panicky
feeling throughout the city. 1t was the subject

near future held for them.

had plenty hand, and had not as yet felt
the scarcity Myers & Co. contractors for the

SHEEP-There was another liberal supply
of sheep and lambs here today, as will be
seen from the table of receipts above. The
quality of the greater part of the receipts,
though was on the common order and
comparatively little fat stun was on sale.
The better grades of killers sold readily at
just about yesterdays prices but as usual.
the common grades were dull, as packers
all wanted good stun. There were no
strictly good natives here, but It is safe to
say that desirable grades would have COM
manded steady prices.
There was a little more inquiry for feed
ers today than there was yesterday, but
while there was a little better tone to the
trade there was no particular change in
prices. The inferior grades were slow sale,
the same as usual

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS.
snIes Light and FeatureIess, NOtwith-
standing End of strike.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21-Trading in the
stock market today was in light volume,
very narrow and devoid of any noteworthy
feature. The formal settlement of the coal
strike excited little interest There was
just a bare suggestion of activity at the
opening, but this was almost altogether
due to moderate buying for account of the
western speculative contingent. The mar
ket soon became very dull and save for a
few spasmodic rallies continued so to the
end. Missouri Pacific's unfavor9 bic show
ing for August caused heavy selling, with
an extreme decline of points. Much OF OF
had been prominent in the stock. The other
standard railway issues were comparatively
neglected the greater part of the day., their
trials, such as American Hide and Leather,
United States Leather. Rubber Goods,
United States Rubber and few others in
the same class, all OF which appeared to
be subjected to manipulation. Operations
through the day were almost altogether of
a professional character. and at no time
did the list reflect any public interest. These
conditions were not caused by the monetary
situation, money being very easy, but in
light demand The prevailing rate was 5lz
per cent. Time money was again slightly
easier, much of the days loans being made
for periods of from four to six months, ,,o-

belt, There was little or no public support,
and the foreign business went almost ex-
clusively to the bear side However, light
receipts at the ports and a small estimate
for Houston receipts led to heavy covering
later in the first hour and there was indica-
January option. The southern spot cotton
people took every advantage of an advance
90 S65c for January to put out hedges, and
pressure of this nature soon forced prices
backward again. Commission houses sold
scattering lines of winter months, other
wise outside business continued along hand
to mouth lines. Predictions for bearish
weekly crop weather report from New
Orleans at midday and for an increase in
receipts before the close of the week helped
to weight down the late forenoon market.
The bureau statement proved quite as
favorable as expected and prices continued
morning up to mid-afternoon. Then there
was a steady liquidation and short selling
movement, under which prices slipped
steady and net 4Gs points lower. Total
sales estimated at 100000 bales.
