LOCAL MARKET
DULL AND NARROW
Profit Taking in Weeks Active
Leaders Caused Some
Shading OF Prices

The week closed with a quiet local
market and aside from n few speciait,es
price changes were unimportant. The
usual week end evening-up operations
produced q little more irregularity, but
In view Of the extreme narrowness OF
the market the variations were without
significance.
Profit taking on n moderate scale
was in evidence in the earlier dealings,
particularly among the more active
leaders Of the weeks trading. Gen
eral Asphalt common on very light
ira nsactions receded 81 to 101. but i'm
mediately rallied 81. American Stores
at the same time shaded u to. 45R.
The favorable showing made by the
Electric Storage Battery Co. in the
annual report published after the clos
ing yesterday was without effect on
that stock, although the price was Gle
vated 81 to 100 on the purchase Of a
few odd lots. United Gas Improve
ment shaded to 4sa4, while Lake Su..
perior Corporation was brought back
to 20. Pennsylvania Railroad continued

'SOFT-COA[ ISSUE

President Will Try to Reconcile
Divergent Views Of Wage
Commission

Washington, March 13.--In all quar-
ters concerned over the bituminous coal
controversy, disposition Is evidenced to
await President Wilson's word before
taking action.
The majority report arising from the
split In the commission, appointed after
the coal strike last fall. is at the White
House, but the minority report OF
John =. White, the miners represen-

will be made public until the President
determines whether Mr.. White and his
assistants. Henry NJ. Robinson. the
commission chairman and public rep
resentative upon It. and Rembrandt
Peale. the operators representative,
can reconcile their views.
The majority report recommends the
men be given % per cent increase in
wages. including the IA per cent
awarded them by Dr.. II. A. Garfield
formerly fuel administrator, and that
local differences in pay and allowances
between different mining districts be
referred to another commission. Mr..
White will recommend that the increase
be fixed at approximately 80 per cent,

NO DANGER OF COAL
FAMINE ON /. c. LINE

There need be no fear Of a coal
| shortage during the winter in any Of
4 the towns or cities along the Illinois
Central Railroad lines, according to
an official report issued by the man
agement.
The report shows that this year to
September 25 the railroads of the
United States moved S92, 747, 900 tons
of bituminous coal from the mines.
as compared with a total of 341 ,276,-
600 in the same period last year. an
increase Of 5t,500,000 tons. When
the outlaw strike was at it's height,
during May, the weekly movement Of
coal dropped to below 100000 tons.
but the 1920 record was established
for the week ending September %,
when 11,217,000 tons were moved in
single week. The coal has been go
ing largely, however. to northwestern
and New England districts, reads the
report.
This heavy movement of coal has
been made possible by increased
operating efficiency, for the report
announces that available facilities
have not been increased-could not
be increased in the short time in
which the railroads have been oper-
ated by their owners.
Seventeen ner cent. more coal was
carried over the lines of the Illinois
Central system in September than in
the same month last year This record
movement served to increase the
number of tons handled since March
l. when the railroads were returned
to private management. to 80 per
cent. above the number of tons
handled in the seven corresponding
seven months of 1919.
Officials and employees have united
in an attempt to secure heavier load
ing of coal cars, prompter release of
equipment by shippers and consign-
ees, reduction of the number of hours
equipment is moved under load and
advoidance of reconsignment.
Their results are shown by the Sep
TENDER traffic figures. The average
daily movement Of coal cars on the
Illinois Central was 44.26 miles per
day, new record. This is an in
crease of % per cent. over the move
ment of September, 1919, which was
80 miles per car per day. The former
record on coal movement was made in
March, 1920, during an intensive cam
paign when the coal car miles reached
1895 per day. The average load car
ried by all coal cars was increased
Tx per cent. over the September,
1919. figure. 1t reached ATT tons, as
compared with 44.3 tons as the aver
age of year ago.
Improvement, not only in the coal
traffic, but in general maintenance
and operating conditions, was regis
tered on the Illinois Central during
last month.
The report shows that the Illinois
Central stands second among all the
railroads in the United States in the
average miles per car PEI day. and it
stands fourth among ali the lines in
the net ton miles Of freight handled.
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1920-10-21

An old singer living in England, M.
L. Albani eye, recalls an incident
which indicates how heavily the late
Empress Eugene bore her many sor.
rows.
"Many years ago used to take my
holiday on Deeside," he writes the Dali
" Telegraph, "and once at least every
season was called to Balmoral to sing
before Queen Victoria. On one Of these
occasions the empress, who was on a
visit at the castle, came with the
queen to hear me. believe that she
had not heard any music since the
death Of the emperor. and had scarce
" finished my first song when she
burst out crying. The queen. on seeing
this, began to cry also, and !, too, from
sympathy, / presume, with the two
great ladies, could hardly restrain my
tears. |, however. very soon recovered
my composure and was able to con-
tinue my work"
