Weak Opening

Special Dtspafcn to The Star.
NEW YORK. November 13-The day S
dealings upon the stock exchange were
again conducted upon a small scale, and
the general characteristics of the market
varied not at all from those which have
been expressed during the past ten days.
The course of prices differed somewhat
from that pursued yesterday. inasmuch
as the market rallied from weak open
ing. whereas in the previous business
session there was fairly continuous de-
cline from the first quotations
Few developments of novelty and I'm
poTtance were presented for consideration
during the day. An urgent demand tor
currency was again observed and stiff
premiums were quoted In fact. 1t was
said that Ia. per cent had been bid for
the whole amount of the gold on the new
Cunard steamship due to arrive here ten
davs hence.
Fairly large additional engagements o:
gold for import wera announced without
much effect upon the foreign stock mar
kets Little was done here for foreign ac
cunt A good deal of interest vas ex-
pressed with regard TO the probable &C
tion of the management of the Bank OF
ESgland upon the discount rate of that
Institution tomorrow, but as matter OF
fact. the discount figures in the open
London market showed a slight relaxa-
ton.
The renewal of the proceedings In the
Hartman inquiry was one Of the chief
topics OF discussion during the day. bu,
neither Union Pacific nor its affiliated
shares were specifically affected in conse-
quence.
smelting's Further Decline.
In the early part OF the day American
Smelling suffered a further extensive de-
cline. but the stock subsequently rallied
on somewhat indefinite assurances that
no reduction in the dividend rate was
likely at the forthcoming meeting of the
directors. Transactions. however. in indi-
vidual securities were as little Influenced
by particular circumstances has been
the case for many weeks past.
General dealings in the market were OF
the same perfunctory character as has
been the case since monetary conditions
became the overshadowing feature Of the
situation. Such buying OF securities as
was conducted was made mainly on cash
isis or upon margins beyond the means
OF the ordinary speculator. Scattering
liquidation continued. but was in much
smaller volume than yesterday.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 13.-Evidently
the highly speculative element In the
stock market is more aggressive than 1t
has been for some months. Because con-
serVative brokers discouraged marginal
transactions this element is compelled to
operate almost exclusively on the short
side. They are circulating a large num-
Der of unpleasant rumors md they seem
to be very confident of their position. They
allege. among other things. that forced
liquidation in Industrial securities will be
general and on a pretty large scale for
some little time to come. and they main
tain that conditions throughout the coun-
try are more unfavorable than has been
currently reported.

General Secretary's Report.

Thomas II. Canning. general secretary
and treasurer. in his report called atten-
ton 10 the vast number Of laboring men
In the country who have refused to join
the trades union movement on purely
trades union lines on the grounds that the
labor question of today is not a question
Of wages and hours, but of regulation of
commodities now controlled by capital. He
said that at each increase of wages of 10
per cent the cost of living is increased
from 20 to % per cent
While this organization does not op-
pose capital" Mr.. Canning said, which
it believes should have reasonable return
for its investment, yet the toiler has a
right to reap part of the benefits. II
is time this organization should bring be-
fore the country the question o. giving the
government absolute control over the
telegraph lines
The recommendations Of the Postmaster
General concerning the parcel post and
the post office savings banks were in
dorsed by Mr. Canning, although he disa-
greed with the Postmaster General as to
where the money should be deposited. He
said that this attention of the government
should be directed to the alleged illegal
money order business which is being car
ried on by the express companies in oppo-
sition to the Post Office Department. He
further recommended that the knights of
Labor protest against the action of mem
bers Of the judiciary who. he affirmed
constantly grant wholesale injunctions
without giving the defendants a fair op-
portunity to be heard.
Among the resolutions offered and adopt
ed were from District Assembly, No
&c, the local assembly asking that Con-
gress pass a law in the interest of the
public to regulate the conduct of detec-
tives in doing their work and prevent them
from employing questionable methods to
obtain information against persons sus-
pected of crime

Every State Represented.

Secretary Thomas H. Canning reported
that there are delegates present repre-
senting every state in the Union. Deter
mined efforts will be made to place the
order of Knights of Labor in its old-time
ascendency. he state. and to that end
the convention is this afternoon consider
ing a proposition to employ national
all the large cities and many Of the
towns and organize assemblies after ex-
planning the aims and objects Of the or
ganization.
Announcement was made that a com
plimentary banquet will be rendered the
officers and delegates to the general as
sembly by District Assembly No. 66 this
evening at the old headquarters of the
K. OF l., on the northeast corner of
Pennsylvania avenue and John Marshall
place.

Labor Strikes Denounced.

Labor strikes were denounced at the
opening sessions yesterday afternoon by
General Master Workman mon Burns of
Pittsburg. He declared the day of strikes
among the laboring classed is past; that
the worktngman must look for another
weapon with which to better his condi-
ton.
He said he thought better weapon
would be careful exercise of the ballot.
He dweit at length on the strike of the
telegraphers, and declared that If the ad-
vice of Mr.. Small, their president, had
been followed, better results would have
been gained. He also held that they did
not get the financial support they should
have had from organizations with which
they were affiliated. He believed the Ia
boring men of this country should unite
tn one grand political organization for po-
litical control. Labor organizations, he
contended. would never be successful until
they unite and vote like socialists for
men who have been tried and understand
their wants He praised President Roose-
Welt for his effort to control the trusts.
Master Workman Burns called particu-
lar attention to the speech delivered by
Vice President Fairbanks on Chinese ex-
clusion, and recommended it for careful
consdera ton. He believed his organiza-
ton should submit a bill to Congress in
the interest of compulsory arbitra ton.

A close observer Of the market says that
in his opinion, in view of the adverse con-
ditions that have existed for some weeks.
prices have been very we'll sustained. He
points out that an upward movement has
been checked by the refusal of the brokers
to take marginal accounts and by the ag-
gressiveness of the bear party, and also by
the constant liquidation of weak accounts
The best opinion obtainabls among con-
servative fnanciers Is that the market
will continue irregular for some time.
