Uncertainty over the European situ-

situation and the probable demands for

THE wool market has continued

woods have been forced to yield
slightly on account of the competi
tion Of foreign fine woods. The
Lawrence mills affected by the strike
are gradually resuming operations
although no marked improvement in

after Labor day. The trade is natu-
rally inclined to wait more or less to
see what the final disposition of the
tariff will be on the part Of the con-
ference committee The foreign mar
kets are very strong, Yorkshire hav-
ing marked up prices on merino tops

diately on the sale of the East India

sui be extremely uncertain.
Bituminous Coal the Factor.
Settlement of the soft coal strike
was not followed, as anticipated, by
an amicable arrangement with the
hard coal mines. The shopmen's s
strike, which a week ago appeared in
falr way to adjustment, is now to
be fought to a finish. The reason why
these developments, on their face un-
favorable. have not affected the mar
kets more Is that the resumption of
soft coal mining Is the big thing in
the situation beside which the an
thracite tie-up and the disaffection
OF the railway shopmen are of minor
consequence. With a full bituminous
output there will be no interruption
in the industrial life of the nation.
So, too. with the rail strike. 1t has
not caused any curtailment thus far
in freight movements Figures on
weekly carloadings make this clear.
Meanwhile the strike is already
practically won for the carriers on
some of the big eastern lines and the
percentage of employment in the
railway shops elsewhere is gradually
increasing.
Business generally is less active
than 1t was two months ago. The soft
coal strike has been partly respon-
sible. but in the main it is the natural
showdown of the midsummer period
