NEWYORE STOCKS AND BONDS
Liquidation Places the Market in q
Strong Position Right Now.
ELECTION REDUCES SPECULATION
Exports to Foreign Countries show
an Increase, while the linz
ports Keep Growing
Less.

NEW YORK. Nov. 5.-(special Telegram)
Liquidation In speculative markets dur
ing last week included many agricultural
commodities and other raw staples.
Some changes have been wrought in the
general price level. which have served per-
haps to bring our own prices through ue,
clines more into touch with the general
price level Of the rest of the world. rms
would seem to be somewhat implicit in the
way in which our exports to foreign coun-
tries are waxing, while imports are wan
ing. Some check administered by necessity
Of extravaganza. Manufacturers orders
have been greatly reduced. while the stocks
on merchants shelves have been materially
depleted to a great extent.
stock Market I'm Good Shape.
The liquidation of the year places the
stock market in a strong position In com
parison with its position when prices are
well up and stocks in large quantities are
held on more or less dubious margins Tor
miscellaneous account. Speculation In Wall
street is influenced to great extent by
elections, which may have accounted In
part for the unsettled condition during
the week. Many spectators withhold in
vestments until after the results from the
elections are known.
Australian shipments OF wheat this week
were $4,000 bu., against $4,000 last week
FAN River sales OF print cloths for the
week are estimated at 1900 pieces, includ-
ing 1900 spots. Deliveries contracts
run through December, January and Febru-
airy. Buyers showed themselves very in
different and could not he interested in
goods at any price. Curtaiment among
the mills was very light, amounting to not
more than 10000 pieces.
Merchandise Sales OFF.
In the yarn market there was a dispo5i-
ton to shade prices from nc TO lie per
pound in order to stimulate purchases on
| the part Of small users.
| This weeks merchandise imports at New
York were Is per cent below the same week
OF last November. and with the two eXcep-
| tons were the smallest OF any week this
| autumn. This gives an interesting side
! light on the progress in readjusting our
| foreign trade position.
! A further rise in the London open mar
] ket discount rates was announced, which
| have now recovered more than ono-half
OF the decline that followed the French
! banks relief measures.
| In spite of the known recourse in London
| this week for credits to sustain the stock
exchange position. the actual weekend
! surplus reserve declined $3,S00.O00 This was
in consequence of the unexpectedly large
! outgo of $6500,O00 cash from the associated
banks reserve. This was in part due to
| gold shipments to Canada.

GAIN EIGHT
HOUR DAY
The Machinists' Committee Sue
ceeds in Getting Favorable
Amendment to the Naval Appro-
priation Bill.

Eight thousand men have prac,lcally
erty each working day, by the terms Of
the naval appropriation bill, just passed
by congress, which carries with it rid
err making mandatory the s-iour day on
all work performed upon the new battle
ships and colliers.
These same men had been toiling in
Cramps and other yards for l3 and 10
hours day. They will now work for at
least three and half years upon the new
men -of-war with 16 hours out Of the 24
that they can call their own.
The bill now lacks nothing bnt the
President S signature to become law.
1t was Representative Fitzgerald that
placed the amendment upon the Lii in
such manner that the chairman could
find no loophole to declare it out of order,
but to the Legislative committee OF the
mahinists union is due the main credit
of this great gain to organized labor.
In speaking of the effect of this bill,
Joseph Rourkc and w. II. Johnson repre-
sentativcs of the machinists union, point
ed out that workmen once accustomed to
an shour day are not likely to 60 back
to longer hours and that therefore the
precedent established in such yards as
Cramps, in the construction of battle
ships, will undoubtedly force a similar
shortening of hours on all uork, whether
for the government or for private con-
Germs.
The general application Of IN S-hour
day on all government work, as embraced
in the bill now held up in the house COM
mittee on labor. is, however, bitterly OPP
posed in secret by a large ma iority of
| representatives. In public they Gare not

STRIKE AT
M'KEES ROCKS
A Big Revolt Again Ties Up the
Pressed Steel Car Plant of
"Baby" Hoffstot.

"A big strike of more than 800 men is
on again and in full swing at McKees
Rocks, in the notorious Schoenville plant.
The men are nearly all organized into
the Industrial Workers Of the World. The
strike was precipitated by the discharge
of several members of the l. w. w. for
their activity in the union.
The strikers are determined 10 protect
their members that have the manhood
and the spirit to stand up for the organi-
zatlon, and they are preparig to rut up
a struggle as bitter as that of last fall
IN the same plant, if necessary
There were several clashes between the
company police ond the strikers, ard it is
said if the fighting continues, the sheriff
will ask that the Cossacks be sent to
Mckees Rocks again. Strikers state
however. that the company is playng it's
old game in stimulating violence SO that
opportunity may be found to call for the
constabulary.
Early it was seen that the strikers til
not intend to permit strike breakers to
take their places while they were out
The frsst cars from iPttsburg, It is said
were stopped at the famous Donovan
bridge by strikers, and the crews were
ordered to turn and go back to Pirtsburg.
OF the 5000 employed in the Plant, on
ly about 500 returned to work These
| 500 men left the plant later in the day
| however The plant is completely tied
up.
The small shop keepers in and about
McKees Rocks are terror stricken, as a
large number of them were completely
ruined, financially, during the last strike
| there.

their motto, that is what they are pleased
to term business. The indescribable
