Dealers in Chicago Also Prepare
for Possible Strike.

CHICAGO, March 16.-Coal in huge
quantities is being stored by the rail
roads and by dealers in Chicago who
have contracts for supplying big es-
t~ablishments. The incentive is the pos
sibility of a strike among the bitunf-
nous miners in the next three months.
For some time the railroads have
been rushing hundreds of tons of coal
to repositories, some of these being in
Chicago, but most of them at adjacent
points.
Some of the roads are stated to be
already in a position where the imn1e-
date calling of a strike would o EN-
oarrass them, because of the vast
masses of coal they have on hand,
while other DAD soon will be in an
equally good position.

NEWS AND NOTES
FOR INVESTORS

During the past week trading in COM
mercial paper has shown a consider
able increase. Western city and coun
try banks have come into the market
and bought large amounts of the paper,
aiding materially the large eastern
city banks in their currency move
sments.
Speculative sentiment in Wall Street
and in the local brokerage offices mas
been more cheerfully inclined, as the
case is always when stocks have a ris-
ing tendency. Nothing startling has
developed in either the industrial or
the commercial world. and the better
ment in the New York stock market
has been set down to professional ae-
tivities. The twelve months decline in
securities has unquestionably resulted
in a very extensive absorption of Sc
curities, reducing the floating supply
and rendering extensive bearish opera
tions difficult even in the face of ad-
verse news.
Combined returns of all transatlantic
steamship lines serving Atlantic ports
UP to Saturday show there is no abate-
ment Of the rush of foreign laborers
from this country. Neither is there i'm :
provement in the inward steerage pas
senger business. During the present
year but 44.712 immigrants have been
landed, while during the same period
last year the figures show that 1879, 052
had been landed in the United States.
The only interest at present in cop
per is in the speculative operations
going on in the metal.
The reason why foreign exchange is
kept at its present low ebb so long
and near the export point is that there
has been a quiet, consistent absorption
of American Investments by foreigners,
which has kept back the expected re-
mittance this spring from abroad of
part of last years importations, and
this, together with the maintenance of
a trade balance in our favor, has
served to keep sterling at a fairly low
level. eve in the absence of any large
supply of commercial bills.
The anniversary of the silent panic in
Boston on March IA. 1907, saw prices
last Saturday there at about the high
est level of the year.
Reports from western traffic mana
gers this week show a little improve
ment in the general tonnage and bust
ness situation, although there is moi
enough betterment to indicate any de-
cided gain in earnings in the near flu
ture.
Cotton is at present selling between
140 and $50 points below the high level
of January 20.
Although the executive committee OF
the New York. New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad voted Saturday last in
favor of declaring the regular quar-
terly dividend of 2 per cent. President
Mellen, of the road, is reported to have
said: 'If the present depression cor
tinues. something win have to be done.
I favor the reduction of dividends first.
the raising of rates next, and the cut
ting of wages only as a last resort"
The rate of So per cent. as the mini
mum rate of discount of the Bank of
England is considered too high when
the bank is so we'll fixed financially.
