Fernia, April 3.-Hosmer and the
camps around are quiet. The men
quit operations yesterday and are noI
prepared to discuss the situation Tine
operators do not think the strike will
be OF long duration.
The men declare that they will not
take notice Of the Lemieux act and no
act can compel them to work without
an agreement. Their leaders have
promised to test the act on the first
occasion.
In Cranbrook all the miners are on
strike except those employed by the
Crows Nest Pass Coal Co. The miners
are also striking in Banff, Coleman,
Lille, Hill Crest, Baltimore, Passhurg,
Maple Leaf, Bankhead and Lethbridge.

STOCK VALUES
SHOW STRONG ON
MONDAY MARKET
(By Associated Press.)

NEW DIRK, Feb. 1.-The days de-
velopments are regarded as negative
ly favorable to stock values and the
further firm tone of the market was
the consequence. But the growing
lethargy speculative interest left
dealings dull at times. Selling at
the opening of the market was heavy
and traders demanded shorts covered
with the purpose of taking advantage
of expected selling with an advance
in prices. Professional operations
were renewed for decline when the
state of affairs was perceived, but
they were not pushed agressively.
The refusal of the supreme court to
grant the petition of the Consolidat-
ed Gas company for rehearing of
tire so cent gas appeal, caused an
other downward plunge in price of
that security. Bondes were irregu-
lar.
