has been in evidence at declines for several days, was not altered material ly to-day by the advance in prices. A material change in the tone of the market was the consequence. Hitherto the sentiment of the speculation was contended in vain against the steady and determined pressure to sell stocks whenever prices turned upwards and on every occurrence which could be in- terpreted in a way favorable to values. Uncovered bears showed more uneasi- ness to-day than at any time since the decline as q result of the light offerings of stocks which appeared in the market. Their buying was not on very heavy scale, as is testified by the moderate aggregate of the days sales of stocks. But they were obliged to raise bids con- secutively to fill up their needs, and a rather wide and comprehensive rise in prices followed Opinion was general | that the demand was still largely con- | fined to the short interest and 1t was not considered probable that other de- mand would spring up at the sharp re- covery after having been So backward at all recessions The belief has be- come prevalent, however, that buying of a substantial character has been in effect on a scale down for several days past.
 The principal event of the day was the purchase in the open market in London of S2 100000 in gold for ship ment to New York. The demonstration of the ability to draw gold without the facility of government deposits allow ed on the last movements caused an easier feeling over the money sltuation The price of gold, however, was at an advance of full penny in the poung over the market price. Sterling ex- change at Paris also fell back. The call money market here was easy, in spite of some large requirements falling due on the 18th and the 70 per cent. install ment payable on Baltimore and Ohio stock subscriptions. Saturdays strong bank statement had some belated ef- feet in helping stocks. Something was made also of the coming return of J. P. Morgan to New York, which occa- stoned a revival of the Great Northern are lands deal with the United States Steel corporation. A strong market for copper in London was a favorable fac tor for Amalgamated Copper. The rise in the minor Vanderblts was based on the organized agitation for an increase in the dividend distribution on Mlchi- gan Central. The demand became very ldull late in the day so that there was fractional recession and a slightly heavy closing, but active selling pres sure was not renewed and substantial net gains remained as result of the days business.

GRAY COMES BACK
MINE WORKERS HEAR FROM STATE
 INSPECTOR.
Unionists Mine hut 20 Per Cent, n Per Cent of Accidents Happen
 In Their Ranks.

Birmingham, June 14.-(Speciall-At the meeting of the United Mine Work CTS of America, Alabama District No. 20, today there was considerable dis cussion in reference to the letter written by Chief Mine Inspector J. M. Gray in which he set forth some min ing rules which he announced would be enforced to the letter.
 A second letter from Chief Mine In- spector written to President Ed. Flynn was read to the convention. It gave some interesting statistics. It showed 1 that In 1905, there were 11,900. 53 tons of coal mined In Alabama, the largest amount mined In one year and of this amount, 3.452.s45 tons came from union mines, which is 29 per cent of the coal produced last year. There were ITS mines operated in 1905, forty-eight of which were worked by union labor. which is 26 per cent of the entire num- Der.
 There were 17,21s men working in and around the mines of Alabama in 1905, of this number 5,S76 were work ing in the union mines, which Is 34 per cent of all the men in and around the mines. There were 1S5 persons killed in 1905, 132 of these were work ing at union mines, which is n per cent of all the fatal accidents in the State It Is thus seen that the union miners produce 29 per cent of the coal, with 34 per cent of the men and Fl per cent of the accidents were among the union men. The second letter of the Chief Inspector asserts that all mining rules heretofore adopted were made without consulting with the State Min ing Department or asking for approval of same and when this deoartment has attempted to change the rules for working the coal at the union mines. it has been unable to do so. the min CTS claiming that under the law they have no right to interfere with the pro- vious rules and regulations And for this reason I have notified your con- vention what they may expect and it will be unnecessary for you to make rules at all to work the coal and to prop the roof. as this department will make such rules. as required by sec ton 20 of the mining laws"
 The convention decided to have a committee appointed to confer with the Chief Mine Inspector and adopt resn- lutions as regard his letters and pro- posed rules for mining. During the convention 1t was again asserted today that the Chief Mine Inspector favored the operators against the miners.
 The committee on scale declines to make public any of it's report to be submitted to the convention either to- morrow morning or tomorrow after noon. Colonel T. C. Bush. president of the Alabama Consolidated Coal ind Iron Company, the only furnace compa- ny in the district dealing with union miners. today announced that he in- tended attending the joint conference of operators and miners invited for Monday He did not comment what soever on what he expected from the miners as to a wage scale for the en- suing twelve months. Not a word IS given out yet as to any other furnace
