Monday comprised the calling out Of

age houses. and the issuing OF q
number Of conflicting statements. re-
garding the progress Of the strike
by the officials Of the union, and by
those Of the telegraph companies.
Both sides claim to have the strike
won. The telegraph companies. how
ever, are certainly increasing the
number OF men at work and both OF
them had Monday on the board Of
trade a larger number of operators
than at any time since the commence
ment of the strike.
: Early in the day the union an
nounced to number OF brokerage
houses that they would give them I'M
til o'clock to sign the scale or
strikes would be called. Six of the
largest houses in the city refused to
sign and their men were ordered out
In one of he.ofices, however, three
of the men continued at work. Many
of the messenger boys who struck on
the day following the walkout of the
operators returned to work Monday
All efforts by outside parties look

New York, Aug, 20.-In the face
Of many misgivings, Mondays stockT
market opened with some manifesto
lions of strength. Price movements
were decidedly irregular and hesitat-
ing however, and trading was IN
much smaller volume. Events Of the
day were for the most part encourag-
ing The better feeling had its origin
in the change technical conditions,
which in turn seemed to be based
largely on the belief thaS the recent
drastic liquidation had come to
halt; also on evidence of moderate
investment buying. There was
further disposition to attack the most
favorable construction to the speech
es Of Secretary Taft and President
Roosevelt to be delivered Monday
night and Tuesday respectively and
in general, the attitude Of the fed
eral government was viewed with
less apprehension. Reports from the
traffic managers Of the leading west
ern railroads showed no diminution
In freight tonnage, but the roads OPP
Grating east Of Chicago and st. Louis
reported a slight slackening Of bust
ness, which was attributed in a meas
ure to the telegraphers' strike. Rail
road earnings in gross continue very
large, much in excess of last year,
but net results are not altogether
satisfactory. Business on the local
exchange was reduced to nominal pro
portions in the afternoon.
