Only IS Per Cent Rum
Many Mines Down.

To begin the week there is a 81
per cent run Of empties in tho
Northern West Virginia coal
fields. However. the car supply in
spots is very poor.
The poorest showing made to-
day is on the Charleston Division,
where there'Is a 80 per cent run.
The Monongah Division has a 81
per cent run; the Monongahlea,
90 per cent; the Morgantown &
Wheeling, 81 per cent, while. the
best showing Is one the Western
Maryland, where the best run Of
cars Is being experienced for a
long time, with a 90 per cent run.
Mines on the Monongah D.yi-
sion today ordered 1895 emptles,
Of which 1915 are for commercial
purposes and $50 for railroad
fuel, There are torty-six coke cars
-eatsdss LOU privately owned ears on
the division. or the I, o 5 1 coal cars
on the division there were /, 055
placed at 2 O'Clock. On the West
ern Maryland today there are $50
cars.
Operations on the Monongahela
Railway today had an early morn
ing placement OF 397 cars, while
707 were ordered. On the Morgan
town & Wheeling there are 400
cars, while SIT were ordered
there. In the Pennsylvania end OF
the Monongahela Railway. where
SOL cars were ordered and 36S
placed, there was a run OF 81 per
cent. The mines on the Charleston
Division ordered 312 cars but Ie-
ceived but 101, placed at z
o'clock. Because OF car shortage
there are forty-six mines idle to-
day on the Monongah Division
and forty-four down on taa
Charleston Division.
Saturdays Loading
Mines IN Northern West Vir-
gipja on Saturday loaded 1870.
cars Of coal. which compared with
s57 cars on the previous Satur-
day and 1912 cars two weeks be-
fore.
Production on the various d.
visions on Saturday was as fol-
lows: B. & o. Monongah, II?
cars; Charleston, So cars; Con-
nellsv.lle, 0; Cumberland 46 cars,
NJ. & *. ~ cars, NJ. & W. III
cars, W. NJ Wyatt-Bingamon &

Weaver Sc cars.
In the Coke Belt
Mines on the Monongahela
Railway in Pennsylvania last
week loaded LEY cars Of coal
against 1888 cars the previous
week and against 1856 cars two

It Is claimed, is responsible, for
the decrease, although the miners

where they attended the Joint con-
ference Of operators and miners
to work out the basis Of future
mage negotiations other than the
Central Competitive Field plan
Andi prevent future coal strikes,
ddmit that practically nothing
was accomplished there
The disagreement rests largely
among the operators themselves,
who failed to be a unit on any
proposition submitted, while the
representatives Of the Unitod
Nine Workers OF America were In
fayor Of embracing sever..l pro-
positions presented by certain op-
orators. In fact the miners acted
as a unit apparently on every
thing submitted.
When the conference opened It
was clearly set forth by the
minersi representatives that tho
Tour state plan was dead and that
lpending injunctlons made this
plan Impossible. The point was
J mad that the way things now
stand 81 per cent Of the tonnage
IN thetorganized field is from
outlying districts. while but IS
pefF cent comes from theE Central
competitive states. After this
point was made, the operators Of
the Rtiytng districts we're asked

The Four Coins.
One OF the most interesting cases
OF Red Cross work has Just been
brought to light. The Red Cross
not only cares Tor ex-seryice men
and their compensations but also
the compensations OF old Civil Wa
veterans, and several such cases
have been cared for very recently.
Not many days ago an old sol.
der OF the Civil War, a man who
lives all alone In a small, well
Kept one room cottage in this
county, a man who keeps his own
little garden in the summer time,
an old veteran who is thorough
ly interesting, came into the Red
Cross rooms to visit Miss Florence
Kneisel, Red Cross secretary, who
Is responsible for so much OF the
good work accomplished In the
county. The old man sat down
and after chatting moment or
two he sang and recited poetry
with the voice like bells His
songs were those he had sung
years and years ago during the
Civil War. They were about
Beautiful Katy" and other allur-
ing ladies. He sang with a depth
OF feeling which impressed Miss
Kneisel very much. After he had
rectted some poetry for her, all
about the things OF long ago, be
showed her a battered, wilted list
of all the names Of his fellow
soldiers in his company, Company
X, of the First Connecticut In
fantry. The list was so old that
Miss Kneisel sat down and copied
1t for him and his thanks were
profuse and appreciative.
The old soldier came to Fair
mont Saturday and gave his mem
bershtp to the Red Cross for this
year, and he never failed to do SO
in past years. He donates also to
other good causeC here, all be-

NEW YORK, May 6.-Following the
lines of least resistance, the stock
market this week emphasized more
or less irregulaTly the moderate re-

Money Continues Cheap.
Few of the elements which gave
rise to the bull market Of the past
two months were lacking. Money re-
mained cheap and the high rate of
production recently reported by man
ufacturers of basic materials was
maintained. Railroad earnings al
forded further ground for encourage

tional cuTrencies marked the passing

further backwa ardness, due mainly TO
unreasonable weather. The inquiry
for principal commodities denotes
steady growth, however, and the
metal markets improved on an In
creased foreign demand.
Trade Conditions More Stable.
Prevailing trade conditions are re-
garded by observers as more stable
than those of any similar period Tor
the past fifteen years. The protract-
ed process of deflation, especially In
merchandise, 1t is argued. minimizes
any likelihood of premature business
expansions such as caused the sefi-
GUS disturbances of 1907 and 1903 and
the short-lived boom of 1916.
Moderate commercial and agricui-
tural requirements will tend. 1t is
popularly believed. to keep money
rates easy until the turn into the
mid year or longer. Foreign demands
on this country's financial resources
are likely to remain in allegiance

STEEL RESTRICTED
| BY MINERS STRIKE
Operations for Week Reduc-
ed, Production Limited.
Copper Firm.

NEW YORK, May 6.-The steel mar
ket is still being restricted by the
coal strike, and operations for the
week have been reduced about per
cent, the production of the steel cor
poration being now about 70 per cent
Of capacity and independents not over
65 per cent. 1t is expected that fur
ther contraction will occur.
Pig iron also Is in an unsettled con-
dition, but many expect the coal
strike to be settled by July. 1. Most
Of the sales being made are from
stock for prompt shipment.
Copper Tone Firm.
Copper has shown a generally firm
tone, owing to continued fair demand
for domestic consumption and a
rather better export business. Most
to Germany and France. but China
has been smaller buyer. while the
recent advance in London has been
accompanied by a renewed inquiry
from British buyers. None of the pro-
ducing interests are now reported
some of them are asking Il higher,
and most Of the smaller lots offered
seem to have been pretty well clean
ed up.
Other Metals Active.
Zinc has not been very active and
prices are a shade easier, owing to
increased competition for business.
although this Is partly offset by q
fair export inquiry.
Tin advanced slightly on the bullish
showing of the visible supply, but
later reacted on the disappointment
action Of London. Consuming demand
is still light.
Lead was unchanged, as while out
side holders are offering a little moro
freely, no weakness Is apparent.
Anthony remains firm, with a fair
inquiry from consumers.
