The trading indicates substantial
gain in confidence, in the market, and
the buying appears good and imparti-
ally distributed among the best issues
Much of the recovery since yesterday
is, of course, due to short covering,
and while the market may yet yield
to realizing, likely TO come out in
moderate volume. so many recent
causes for depression have been elm
mated or discounted that it Is fair to
expect good rallies on the breaks. I'm
ion Pacific and Southern Pacific appear
well supported and this is also true OF
the New York Central group. Con-
tinued gain from sub-treasury by
banks with evidence of money COM
ing TO New York from the South and

in Bituminous Field So
Serious Conference Has Been
Called to Devise a Remedy.

PITTSBuRG. PA, September 16.-
Thoroughly alarmed over what threat
ems to be the most serious coal famine
in history. coal operators of Western
Pennsylvania and West Virginia, the
bItuminons field, have called a meet
Ing in Charleston. w. Va, on Thurs
day next to devise ways and means
of Increasing the coal output and
handling It.
One of the probable results OF this
meeting will be voluntary advance
in the wages Of the niners, in the
hope of increasing the output. Oper-
ators declare that never has there
been such a shortage of miners. Men
who have for years worked as miners
are able to get work in other lines
and are deserving the mines.
Every inducement has been offered
to the miners to increase the produc-
ton, but without result. The opera
tors have concluded the only way to
get out more coal will be BY increas-
ing wages.
Conditions which confront the oper-
ators are serious. Many OF the West
sern railroads with whom the opera
tors have contracts have notified them
they will have to fill their orders ac-
cording to contract or the contracts
will be Cancelled. The railroads are
doing everything In cir power to
place cars at the disposal of the oper-
ators. but with the present movement
of crops it is almost an imposslhility
to obtain cars.
