When she was told it was more than

which numbered COOS In 1900, were
1928 in number In 1910. The mum

vanced from about 10000 to more

WEAvERs ON STRIKE
About 60 Leave Hoosac Mill In North
Adams.

ADAMS.
North Adams, Jan. 1S.-About 90
weavers of the Hoosac worsted mills
went on strike yesterday morning
following conference between a
committee of the weavers and the Of
6cials of the company, during when
the company refused to grant the de-
mands made by the weavers. 1t was
the claim of the weavers that they
were doing practically the same kind
of work as that at the Eagle mil,
but that the looms OF the latter mill
we're geared at higher speed, thus
giving the Eagle weavers an advan-
tage even If the price for the work
was the same. Ii is understood that
the difference in price over which the
strike was called amounts to zS12
cents a week. The weavers request
ed revision of the prices paid ior
their work, but this the officials re-
fused to concede.
A stormy session of the strikers
was held yesterday afternoon in cen
trail labor union hall, as the strikers
we're not a unit in ordering the
strike. Some of the older weavers
freely declared that the strike was
brought about by the younger mem
bers of the union, most OF whom
we're unmarried and were dissatisfied
with conditions. The older and more
conservative men openly charged the
younger men with having the strike
fever and with rushing hot-headed In
to the strike before giving the matter
due dellberation. Manager Griffin OF
the Hoosac worsted company, when
seen by the newspaper men, absolute
ly refused to make any comment up
on the situation for publication.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, February THE cotton
market opened firm at an advance of La
3 points on excited covering by recent
sellers. who appeared to be badly fright
ened by the renewed strength of Liver
pool and the failure of early news from
the south to confirm yesterdays impress
sion OF an easier spot situation. Stop or
ders were uncovered on the initial adj
vance, which carried most of the active
months into new high ground for the
movement, with May cotton selling at
100, but realizing was very heavy at
this level and the market later eased off
several points from the best.
The market was less active late in the
forenoon. and after having shown a re-
action of from to 10 points from the
best prices of the morning ruled fairly
steady, with active months some to II
points net higher at midday. Reports
from Montgomery claimed that New
England mills were in the market for
spots. but there seemed to be compare
lively little news reaching the trade from
the south. and no fresh feature devel-
oped after the opening excitement had

Bears Attempt Raid.

An attempt by bear traders to raid the
market gave it an appearance of activity
for time this morning. Although sew
eral issues were depressed sharply, the
attack made little impression on the list
as d whole, and the market fell again
into state of listlessness.
American Tobacco showed the effects
taken by the directors in regard to a
dividend. Southern Railway preferred
rose on the report that the preferred
stock might be put on a per cent basis
at the meeting of the board this week.
Engagement of $2,OOOO0O more gold for
Paris went almost UNDECIDED in the stock
market. Prices f1uctuated i'm a perfume
tory fashion after the early spell of
weakness. Most of the favorite issues
chung to the low level but some of the
specialties showed a better tone. Bonds
were steady.
Wide movements occurred in some of
the usually inactive stocks. but the gen.
cral market was almost mOtiOnlesS.
Sears Roebuck was down nearly points
and Republic Steel preferred ~. Texas
Company and American Mailing prefer
red gained Ia.
The market retraced its course slowly
in the afternoon. Union Pacific mounted
to 1914, its early high price. and Read
ing and Lehigh Valley also sold frac-
ton above yesterdays close. United
States Steel made up it's decline, and
there was a decidedly firmer tone in the
rest Of the list.
