NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET


NEW YORK. Oct. ga process OF diges-
tion OF speculative profits was In progress in
today's stock market and Its effect on prices
was quite clearly manifest as the day went
on Transactions during the first hour were
on very large scale and the market had all
the appearance Of great strength and anina-
tion at that time. Yesterdays demonstration
Of revived interest and strength had the er-
feet OF attracting a new lot OF buyers, largely
on a minor speculative basis. Warehouses
and commission houses reported consideraDie
increase OF volume OF orders from oulSaus
sources. 1t was this demand that was leu
by distribution OF selling orders, to the reiiet
Of the burden of holdings Of the speculative
element that has conducted the recent cam
paign. The skill and address with whicn .he t
movement was conducted gave evidence Oh ths
experiences and resources of the leaders any

CHANGE
In SITUATION
BETWEEN BOX CAR
LOADER COMPANY AND MEN
REMAINS UNSETTLED.

The situation in the strike at the
Box Car Loader companys plant re-
mains practically unchanged in so far
as settlement of the difficulties with
the strikers is concerned.
The strikers have eight pickets
stationed at places near the plant but
no disorder exists and all seems peace
able on the part of both parties to
the difficulty. The company have
placed new policeman from the
works as Waterman, who patrols the
street in front of the plant on Second
street.
In conversation with Mr. Hunt of
the manufacturing company this morn.
ing. he stated to a reporter that the
differences were no nearer settlement
than at any time during the strike
and overtures, would have to come
from the men. He also stated that
no trouble was anticipated from the
strikers and that the object of placing
day Waterman on the outside of the
plant was to prevent mischief from
boys.
Mr.. Hunt stated that ten men were
put to work at the plant this morn
ing, when asked by a reporter if they
were working. The pickets stated how
ever to the reporter that put two men
were put to work this morning and
that they were boys out of high
school instead of men. More of the
strikers took their tools from the
plant this morning.
