Money Trust Probe Scare Causes
Light Trading, with Third Ave-
nue. Weak and Cotton Strong.
By THOMAS c. sHoTwELL.

New York, Feb. 7.-Under leadership Of
Union Pacific the stock market showed
considerable strength to-day. although
trading was light because professionals
were afraid 10 do much without knowing
what Congress intended to do about an
investigation OF the money trust. Much
OF the strength was the result of short
covering. In Union Pacific there was
some genuine investment because of the
wonderful possibilities that the Panama
Canal will open up for that company on
the Pacific Coast. Third Avenue was
about the only weak issue. The cotton
market had another burst OF strength.
The dispute over the money trust viii
be settled before the market opens to-
morrow. Mention Of Samuel Untermy-
er's name as attorney for the committee
eNcites bankers.
Copper metal continues strong, and the
stocks have good market in expectation
of a large reduction In the stock OF sur
plus metal on hand in the report this
week FOR the month of January. The
advance to-day in the price of silver
metal TO IS 7-s, which is the highest price
In four years, is helping the copper COM
psuies, for the great ones produce much
silver as by-product, particularly those
IN the Butts camp.

GOMPERS PARRIES
CONTEMPT CHARGE
Labor Leader Brings Bill" Shakes
peare as Part of His De-
fense in Court.

Practically admitting that SOME of the
editorials and other matter relating to
the Bucks Stove and Range Company
published in the Federationist might
have the same consequences as a boy
colt, Samuel Gompers, president OF the
American Federation OF Labor. at the
hearing yesterday before Justice Wright
in refutation OF the renewed contempt
Of court charges against officials of the
American Federation OF Labor. declared
he would do anything within his rights
to advance the cause Of the laboring
people. Mr.. Gompers repeatedly stated
that whatever was published in the Fed
erstion's organ was placed before its
readers purely. because Of its merit as
news and not TOR the purpose Of disobey-
ing the courts order.
The labor leader claimed that under the
Constitution he had the right Of freedom
Of press and speech, and that he never
abused this privilege. Mr.. Gompers and
Attorney J. J. Darlington. OF counsel for
the committee of prosecutors, had fire.
quent verbal clashes during the pro-
ceedings. and the president OF the FEEDER
alton invoked the protection OF the court
a number Of times. Once the witness
refused TO answer a question IN which
his associates were characterized, sa-
tlrically, as wicked" unless ordered TO
90 so by the court.
Claiming TO be a great reader OF Shake
speare, and always carrying pocket
edition with him. Mr.. Gompers explained
that the expression go to - with your
injunctions," which appeared in the Fed
erationist Of October. 1907, and is made
a part OF the contempt charges, had been
miseonstrued; that a comma instead OF
dash was meant by him. He stated
- 49, ~ H.,
speare in mind, such as ''avaunt." 'go
with thy prattle," get thee to a num-
merry" and others and did not mean the
slightest disrespect to the court.
The case will be continued tomorrow
morning.

Condition of steel Trade.

The Iron Age to-day says: THAT the
increased operation of steel works due
TO the large business booked in December
has centered in the Steel Corporations $
plants in the Pittsburg field is strik-
ingly shown in the pig iron statistics
for January. In that month thirteen
Steel Corporation furnaces were blown
in. That is also exactly the number by
which the total OF active furnaces in the
entire country on February ! exceeds
that Of January against PA
The Steel Corporation now has IS per
cent of its blast furnace capacity in
operation. II has blown In five furnaces
in the past week-two at Cleveland one
Qsabella) at Pittsburg. and one in South
Chicago. and one in Joliet, Ill.-making
total OF eighteen furnaces IL has
blown in this year. The Bessemer bloom
ing mill OF the American Steel and
Wire Company, at Newburg. Ohio, has
been started up for the first time in
four years.
This scale of activity at Steel Corpora
tion plants Is not shared by the inde-
pendent steel companies generally. In
the finished lines OF largest tonnage
there is some irregularity in quotations,
the prices at which large producers
were holding plates. shapes, and bars
IN December having been shaded in
some cases.
The pig iron market is drifting with
little definite development. Southern
producers OF foundry iron show a firmer
front, IL Is true, but their Northern com
petitors have not shared IL as yet.
Estimates Of the untitled tonnage OF
the corporation on January 81. for which
the figures will be published February
10, point to an increase exceeding $4,000
tons.
