Wall Street Ignores Strike.

Wall street traders have practically
ignored the coal strike and the con-
ditions arising therefrom. Heavy
short selling yesterday morning on
the theory of a smashing decline re-
suited in strengthening the technical
position of the market. while the in
difference of the great speculative
public to the news as circulated this
morning was rather surprising, in
view of the expected liquidation.
Instead of a break the market
seemed to gain strength and great ac-
tivity.
The pace was at the rate of about
100000 shares an hour and the market
grinding the top entering the second
hour of the afternoon, with money
lending at per cent.

Northern France. the French govern

This is the first train since the Ger
mans were oust&d, the railroads hav-
Ing been just restored
The Lens district. once with n popu-
lation of 100000. is now a vast pile
Of rubbish. II will take two wears To
pump out The mines which the Ger
mans flooded and 1T will require fully
ten years to restore them to full ca
pacity work
Walls OF houses are still standing
in Arras. but there In not one build
ing that isn't partially wrecked. Al
ready about 1000 persons have re-
turned TO Arras and are attempting to
revive the city
Louai and Domain are outside the
areas OF war destruction, but were
occupied by the Germans for four
years Every industry In both cities
was Quilted by the Germans: al ma
chinery has been wrecked or taken
away and the furnaces blown up.
The result is that the populations OF
