MAY BE NO STRIkE.
New Haven Manag ement and Clerks seem
Likely to Arbitrate.

BosToN. Nov. The railroad clerks
OF the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad system did not strike
to-day, as expected. No Official strike
order was received.
This change in programme, local
officers say. is due to the fact that during
the week the railroad management has
shown disposition to meet the men and
there is a possibility that the demands
Of the men will be settled by arbitration.
To-day was the time set a week ago by
the general adjustment board OF clerks
on the entire system when the 5000 nnsm-
bers Of the Brotherhood OF Railroad
Clerks were to strike to enforce their
demands for a 10 per cent increase in
wages and changes in working conditions.
During the week the lodges Of the
brotherhood at Boston. Providence, New
Bedford, New Haven and New York
voted on the proposition, all in the affir-
native.
The adjustment board OF the brother
hsod has been in New Haven since Thurs
day.

LARGE SALE OF COPPER.
which Is Expected TO Relieve Partly the
Market Congestion.

1t was reported yesterday that the
United Metals Selling Company had dis
posed OF SO.OOO.O0O pounds OF copper on
Saturday, and this announcement appear
ing simultaneously with the report that
the big copper selling agency had reduced
the price of electrolytio from 1917 cents,
at which it has stood for six weeks. to
i3 cents attracted much interest. This
reduction. 1t was explained, was made in
large measure TO meet the competition
Of other selling agencies which had been
offering copper down from the price OF
1877 cents, but one large producer is
authority for the assertion that copper in
large quantities for delivery next year
cannot be bought anywhere at less than
the IS cent price. The sale of &c, 600. 600
pounds. a larger amount thany any single
agency has been recorded as selling
on any one day in a long period, will, il
is anticipated. do much to relieve the
present congestion Of the market.

The estimated amount of the new issue
is figured on the basis OF capital stock
now outstanding, which comes to about

The last previous issue offered for
stockholders subscription was in 1908
when the road offered SIS. .0OO. 600 at $50
share Q2O), an amount equivalent to
1918 per cent. on the previous outstand-
ing dtock ca capitalization. In 1901 il offered
$50. .OO0. 600. which again was equal to
81 Is per cent. OF the outstan nding. This
also was offered at 100. With these two
exceptions all stockholders subsorip-
tions before and since have been at par.
Last March the stockholders author
lied $50, 100000 bonds to take up the
indebtedness now being met with the
new stock, and this policy Of providing
for funded Indebtedness out Of the pro-
ceeds derived from capital stock sales
is in accordance with the recent policy
not only Of Pennsylvania but OF other
