exactly distrust, but cold pessimlsm IN
quarters where we nave been accus-
toned to near nothins but the gospel of
optimism? Some OF the reasons are
these: Q) Prosperity has been amply
If not over-discounted; CD higher IN
terest rates due to the absorption oil
money In new enterp1i ses make stocks
relatively dear; (S) excessive under
writing of new schemes n the conse-
quent locking up Of funds is disap-
proved: ca corporation profits are
declining, owing to increased expenses,
60 large masses of u%ndigested securi-
ties are held over tie market above
buyers views; the big mel having vast
merger plans in progress must wait TOT
the decision on the Northern Securities
case affecting the status OF holding cor
po%rations. With such influences at
work a bull campaign seems Impossible
How long the prese.,t inertia will last
can not be told. The market has latsly
been breaking the record for inactivity.
A bear party of strength might lntuse
some life into the market; but with
stocks and credit so highly concentrated
as at present there is little chance OF a
serious attack from that quarter.
Bank Reserves Rising.
General conditions continue to m
prove. Bank reserves are rising and
money rates growing easier. Some UNI
easiness was manifested over possible
gold exports, as we ere still large bor-
rowers abroad; but grain is going t
ward more freely. tine foreign money
markets are in comparatively easy con-
dition and there is little likelihood OF
important gold shipments until next
spring. Our contemplated $40,00o.OOo
purchase of the Panama canal will, OF
course, compel heavy payments In Eu-
rope, but in any event arrangements
will certainly be made seeking to de-
range the exchange market as little as
possible. 1t seems equally certain that
nc radical antitrust legislation will be
attempted this year; iho this same con-
eressional inertia also lessons the
chances of any Legislative relief on the
currency problem. TIE only disturbing
element now in sight is the Venezuelan
question, which contains infiammdble
possibilities. but the chances are still
very largely in favor Of a ~peaceable set
Element. For the coming week an tr-
regular market may be anticipated,
with the drift towards a somewhat low
er level of prices"

Iowa Miners Have Practically
Decided to Insist on In
creased Wage Schedule
WOULD BE EFFECTIVE ON APRIL /
Operators Admit They Are in Rather
Difficult Position and That Miners
Will Be Hard to Convince That They
Should Not Have Advance-outcome
Is Indefinite.

Des Moines, Jan. 26.-Unless there is
a change in the situation before spring
d strike of the Iowa miners seems Prob
able. The miners have practically de-
cided that they will insist on an in
crease in the schedule for the year be-
ginning April 1. The convention of
miners and operators which meets in
March will take up the matter.
That the miners will demand an in
of at least 10 cents a ton for screened
coal and 5 cents a ton for mine run
coal, making the price 81 and so cents,
is generally conceded. Whether the
operators will be willing to grant this
advance remains to be determined The
question has been discussed in an in
formal way by the operators, but there
is a wide difference of opinion as to
what should be done. Some of the OPP
orators want to grant the advance and
prevent trouble and a rupture with the
miners and others want to compromise.
~ ssAS ~NAAa AiS aGiAillh l4ISI y RlCo0
ent scale is high enough.
1t has ever been suggested that the
miners will ask that all the coal be
paid for OH q mine run basis and that
it shall be weighed before it goes over
the screen. II this is done the cost of
railroad coal and clean lump will be
materially increased and the benefit
the miners will receive is estimated at
an advance of fully Is cents on the ton
over the present arrangement.
The probabilities are that every mine
in the state will be represented in Des
Moines during the convention by both
operators and miners and that the
question at issue will be referred back
by the scale committee to the meet
ings for ratification. Heretofore the
miners have pursued this policy, but
the operators have entrusted their
business to All executive COMMITTEES.
The feeling that there is to be / de-
cided difference of opinion between the
two houses of the conference has caus-
ed considerable correspondence all
ready as to the advisability OF calling
In all the operators.
Operators say chat their own num-
bers are to blame for the position
they find themselves in, that many of
them, because of good business, and
stiff prices, have voluntarily advanced
tha nrice-frps qA re aH winter. Tney
admit that with this precedent it Will
be hard to convince the miners that
they should not have an advance.

Berlin Affected by Bombardment.

Berlin. Jan. 26.-Business on the
bourse last week vas quieter than n
ing the previous period. Operators
regarded the San Carlos incident as
likely to retard the settlement of The:
Venezuelan difficulty, and therefore un-
wise and unnecessary. The influence
exercised on the stock market by the
bombardment was accordingly in the
ulation.
American securities experienced an
n%neyentful week. Canadians showed
much lighter trading han previously,
weakening in sympathy with wall
street. Domestic loans improved upon
the cheapening of money. most OF the
foreign government securities entity seepqtry
Disconto Gesellschaft, advanced be-
cause the banks are expecting in
creased earnings from the Forthcoming
conversions and loan operations.
Thu industrial market showed a SELL
ing tendency. Iron shares were lower,
Notwithstanding an advance in the
price of pig iron in Lorraine, the lat
est American market report having
an unfavorable effect on them. Coal
shares dropped in consequence of the
break IN the cold weather, and the
statement that the coal syndicate is
trying to induce the companies TO vol
unfairly restrict the output.
The gain in Hamburg-American
steamship shares, reported previously,
was partially lost, and the North Ger
man Lloyd securities lost 5 points upon
the passing of the dividend. This sec
ton of the market was also unfavor-
ably affected by the controversy IN
the newspapers over the financial poll
icy followed by the Hamburg-Amer-
lear and North German Lloyd COM
panies.
Money has grown cheaper and more
abundant. The German banks have
been doing a heavy discounting bust
ness In London during the past week,
making Germany a large debtor to that
market. Hence. exchange IN London
has been rising sharply, and New
York exchange has also advanced. It
Is now believed that the Reichsbank
will postpone n reduction in its rates
owing to the fear Of gold exports, and
because of the near approach Of the
new German and Prussian loans.
Germany's pig iron production in
1902 amounted to 8.402,660 tons, against
7,7S5,SS7 tons in 1901. The provisional
estimates Of Germany's foreign trade
put the imports at SLABS, 900. 900, an
increase of $4,000, 900. The exports are
at $1,251, 100000, IN increase
of ! 100000.

Absence of Speculative Activity the
Most Noticeable Feature Of the Stu
ation-Henry clews Says Wall Street
Has Become Observation-Disclosures
Preparing to Raise Defense Fund.

London, Jan. 26.-While the general
tone Of the stock market last
week was firm, business was marked
by an absence of speculative activity.
Kafirs did not respond to Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain's announcement
at johannesburg Jan. II of the details
for the financing of the new South
African colonies. This announcement
had been already discounted, and the
DELAY in he settlement Of the labor
problem in South Africa is creating
uncertainty.
American securities were without any
striking feature; the movements were
irregular, probably owing to the de-
velopments in the Venezuelan affair,
which, it is considered, show a pos
sibility of fresh entanglements.
The sole feature of the week was
the movement in West Australian
mines, which, following on a period OF
depression, became active because o.
the completion Of arrangements LOT
large consultations. Home
were affected by the disappointment
felt at the dividend announcements,
which did not fulfill expectations, tho
the amounts carried forward exceeded
those of last year.
The week closed with money rates
easier and with a good prospect OF a
reduction in the bank rate next Thurs
|day5 Consols rose sharply In the
middle Of the week on government
purchases, but the advance was not
maintained.

STREET CAR MEN STRIKE.
Five Indiana Cities Are Without Street
Car Service.

Car Service.
South Bend, Ind, Jan. 26.-As the re
suit of a strike of street car men on the
Iadina railway campany's lines yester-
day the cities of South Bend, Misha-
waka, Elkhart, and Goshen are practi-
cally without street car service. Fol
lowing an all night meeting of their
union, nearly all of the conductors and
motormen left their work at 4 O'Clock
yesterday. I
The officers of the company tried to
operate the cars with crews made up
from Office employees and men n boys
employed at the power houses. During
the day the company succeeded in run
ming one car over each line on an hourly
schedule ana. the mali cars, but all SER
vice stopped at 6 o'clock last night, eA-
cept one car from Elkhart. which
reached South Bend it $50 o'clock.
The strikers in South Bend and Mish-
awake have been orderly, but trouble
was threatened at Tlkhart. where an
attempt was made to pull the crews off
interurban cars.
The trouble was brought about by
the discharge of ten men, officers of
the union. The memoirs say the com-
pany aimed an attack on the organiZa-
ton. The union asked that they be re-
instated, and this request was refused.
The union now makes five demands.
which it insists must be granted before
the strike is declared off
The demands are:
A nine hour schedule.
Adjustment of grievances by arbitra-
ton.
conductors and motormen.
Recognition of the union by the COM
pany.
Wages of rs cents per hour on city
runs, 1925 a day on i~nterurban runs,
and 25 cents an hour for overtime.
1t is said by the strikers tonight that
they will attempt to prevent n Mdf-
ana railway from operating any cars
tomorrow. A meeting was held and
hoasts were made tina there will be
trouble. If any attempt is made to in-
terfere with the South Bend. Elkhart,
and Goshen line. the United States
government will take a hand in the
strike. as this line carries United
states mail between South Bend and
Goshen.
The men were recently unionized In
division BIT Of the Amalgamated Assoc
citation of Street Railway Employees of
America. They say they have the sup
mort of the entire organization, which
controls the majority of street car men
in the United States.
