COAL FAMINE NOT FEARED.
Reserve Supply to BE Released In Accord.
ance With Plans Already Made.

The best informed Of the coal dealers
were Of the opinion yesterday that a pro-
longed anthracite coal strike will not bring
on a coal famine, as the operators had pre-
pared for a stoppage Of work.
It Is est mated that in all 1900 600 tons
OF anthracite were mined last year, Of
which about Of 600 900 tons were shipped.
Henry S. Fleming, secretary Of the Anthra-
cite Operators Association, which Is com
posed Of the individual operators, said that
while the operators could not increase the
wages without increasing the price Of GOAL,
there was a confusion in the public mind as
to the actual price Of coal at the mines.
IAN array Of figures he said. giving the
results of such a complicated business as
the coal industry gives little idea Of the situa.
ton to any one but an expert. The general
impression seems to be that there are large
profits to The OPERATOR"
The reserve coal held by the companies
will be released in a systematic way, in ac-
cordance with plans arranged before the
termination Of the last agreement, based on
the probable time a strike would last.

POLICE HELD VICTORIA.
Mrs. Suilman's COachman Was Arrested
for Talking Back" to Policeman.

for Talking Back" to Policeman.
While Mrs. James A. Stillman of 10 East
Seventy-second street was calling with a
friend on Fifth avenue near Forty-fifth
street yesterday afternoon, her coachman,
Louis Hartmann, in charge OF her victoria
talked back to Mounted Policeman Lobdell
Of the traffic squad and was locked up.
Lobdell said that Hartman was too far out
from the curb and that when he told him
to drive in closer Hartman threatened
him and the footman joined in.
Iobdell ended the discussion by making
the goodman drive to the East Fiftv-hrst
street police station, where he was locked up,
charged with disorderly conduct and OBJ
structing traffic. The victoria was sent
around to a neighboring livery stable.
No charge was made against the footman
and he hurried back to notify Mrs. Stillman
of the arrest. He found her outside the
house at which she had been calling, much
surprised to find that victoria and coach
man had disappeared. Thu footman ex-
planned the trouble and Mrs. Stillman and
her friend called a cab and drove to the
station house.
Mrs. StiIlman expressed great indignation
because her victoria was placed in the
livery stable when the footman remained
at liberty and might nave driven 1t back.
She gave the house at 10 East Seventy
second street as security for the $500 tail
demanded for the release of the coachman

CHICAGO RESERVES TAXED.
Demand for Money From San Francisco
and Local Withdrawal Keep Rates I'd.

CHICAGO, April 2s.-The tendencies of the
local money market have been toward dis
tinot frmness this week, with rates at 5N
and 9 per cent. This is because Of the
further drain upon this centre, due in the
main to the San Francisco disaster, which
has been the chief factor, and Chicago's
Losses in cash, both by reason Of direct
Withdrawals of deposits by interior banks
and shipment Of currency to the Pacific
Coast against New York credits.
The ~shrinkage in deposits has easily
amounted to several millions the last ten
days, and the amount Of money forwarded
to the stricken city on New York orders has
been variously estimated at between So
900, 900 and Sia, OOn, 900. 1t can be readily
seen, therefore, that the reserves here have
been heavily overta% sd, and with the usual
epring demand for commercial purposes,
perhaps larger than In average years,
lower money rates do not appear to be
among the immediate conditions.
The monetary situation will very likely
be some time In adjusting itself and mean
while rates may go even higher. 1t is the
general impression among bankers, how
ever, that the worst is over in the matter
of demand for the relief Of San Francisco.

NO CUT IN GRAIN RATES.
Eastern Railroads Waiting to See II Lake
Vessel Employees Strike.

CHICAGO, April 2s,-Chicago grain men,
fearing a strike on the Great Lakes which
will efiectually cut off that traffic, begin
to M where they are on the export
grain question, AS yet the Eastern rail-
roads have not reduced their freight rates
70 meet the Lake rates, and II the strike
is declared the all rail rates, which the
grain men have attempted to avoid by
waiting until navigation opened, will have
to be used to export grain now held for
shipment.
Every year 1t has been the custom Of the
Eastern railroads to reduce the rates on
export grain to meet the competition Of
the Lakes. This year when the proposition
hrst came up, more than a month ago,
certain OF the lines decided that other
classes OF business which they had in large
quantities were more profitable than the
grain business. They decided TO wait
until April "a before making a final decision
IN the matter. But when April "a came
the railroad officials found that a new
condition had developed. There was immi-
nent danger OF q strike on the Lakes because
the vessel owners would not consent TO
employ union men al mates, The old
agreement between the men and the en-
ployers was to expire May /. This means
II a strike Is declared the Lakes will be sewed
up n the competition removed.
The roads then decided to wait until after
May before making their decision about
reducing the rates, If the danger OF a
strike is averted the rates undoubtedly
will be lowered, but II the strike 10 declared
the regular export tariffs will be allowed to
stand as they do when cold weather re-
moves the Lakes as a factor in rate making.
Despite the disaster at San Francisco,
which caused the supreme body Of the
Mystic Shnners to abandon their oontem-
plated meeting at Los Angeles, a special
train on the Wabash, bearing 1870 members
Of the order from Boston and Springfield,
Mass, passed through Chicago to-day en-
for the Coast.
Many other parties that had planned
making the trip have cancelled their con-
tracts with the roads. Passenger traffic
officials of lines reaching to the Pacific
Coast report a surprising volume of bust
ness following the disaster at San Fran
cisco. They had expected a marked de-
IN the movement, but this was true
for a few days only, and now the business
Is beginning to pick UP rapidly.

Bulls Unable 10 Get Up a Scare OF Any Sort
Liquidation OF May Wheat q Feature
OF the Market-WOrld's Supply Shows
Usual Decrease-COrn and Oats Strong
CHICAGO, April 2s.-Iiquidation in May
wheat was a feature OF the market during
the fore part Of the week and the premium
over the deferred futures was lessened
materially, many of the May longs having
transferred their holdings to July or Sep
TENDER.
The liquidation to some extent Offset the
effect of considerable bullish news, the
most important Of which was the Kansas
; report, which showed 10 per cent. Of the
area winter killed. This would indicate
a crop of only 50, 100000 bushels as COM
pared with 95 900 900 bushels indicated by
the Government figures on April /.
As the week advanced the bearish news
was almost overwhelming, but prices held
up surprisingly well. The statement of
the worlds available supply showed large
and steady decreases in wheat east Of the
Rockies and abroad. This week the de-
crease was 1854, 900 bushels, against a de-
crease of l,206, 900 bushels the week before
and a decrease Of 4,4l4 900 bushels a year
ago.
This showing was instrumental il holding
prices. The bull faction used every effort
and every scrap Of news to create a crop
scare, but the experts now on the ground
found nothing but excellent conditions.
Reports Of hot winds n dry weather
had but little effect. For the present the
situation does not present inviting factors
to the professional or outside buyer.
There are more influences to encourage
selling on the advances, and the market is
merely a scalping affair. The San Francisco
calamity is regarded as a bearish factor
from a financial standpoint, as it will make
investors timid.
Seeding in the Northwest has progressed
rapidly outside Of the Red River Valley.
The acreage is estimated to increase from
8 to 10 per cent. and the crop is going into
the ground with the soil in good condition
and about on an average seeding, outside
of last year.
At the same time millers are paving a
high premium for cash wheat in all markets.
The milling demand, however, Is not of q
volume to make a good bull market and
the export demand is decidedly ~disappoint-
ing for American and Manitoba wheat.
There are only a few things left for the
extensive damage to the crop
here or abroad and a large European cash
demand.
Corn showed considerable strength most

There has been no material
change in the movement from the farms
and supplies continue to contract. Stocks
at all primary points are being rapidly
reduced, while those Of the East are down
to a low level.
Trade in oats was Of limited volume.
Seeding is nearly finished in most sections,
or will be In a few days. While the crop
is late, it has zone into the ground in fine
and made an excellent start. The
vicissitudes are ahead of it, but for the pres
emit the trade is not worrying about the crop.
