Evidence multiplies that the sec
ond week of June saw the turning
point for the better in crop, trade and
labor matters. The flooded districts
of the West are gradually winning
out, rehabilitation and repair are max

much more optimistic than earlier in
the month.
Pig iron and steel are weaker, buy
ing is still slow and production is at
an enormous rate. An important but
expected decline has materialized in
lead and cotton, owing to manipulative
handling, has advanced, further com.
plicating the situation of manufact.
ured goods.
Cotton has fluctuated wildly, at one
time showing advances of so to 60
points on the new crop and 25 points
later on good crop advices, reports of
poor buying by manufacturers here
and abroad, and a feeling that, while
the old crop is hopelessly cornered,
next seasons prices are held too high
Pig iron production is at the rate
of 21,0O0,0OO tons yearly, and buyers
still hold off, whence weakness and
declines of Is cents TO 81 per ton at

OFFERED WAYLEs $50.
For His Suggestion as to Settling coa
Strike, Mitchell Says.

Indianapolis, June 90 - President
Mitchell has employed attorneys mere
and at Wilkes-Barre, Pa, to defend
the suit which has been brought by
Attorney Wayles Of New York, in
which Wayles asks for 100000 for al.
legged suggestions that led to the set
tlement OF the anthracite strike.
Mitchell said that the miners board
had offered Wayles $50, but he seemed
60 want 100000, He added:
Mr., Wayles came to us with a
plan OF settlement of the strike by
political pressure. He suggested
bringing action under the New York
antitrust lsw against the railroad
companies, and framed a petition to
send to Chairman Dunn of the New
York railroad commission on the sub
ject.
1T probably required Is or 20 min.
utes to draw up the petition. Nothing
was said as to the pay he should re-
ceive and We offered $50 for the
trouble ne had taken. His connec.
tion with our operations amounted to
nothing more than that"
