BOSTON, = October IA Boston's
steamship companies yesterday de-
clined to treat with the 1000 longshore-
men who left their employ three weeks
ago in protest against new wage
schedule.
The shippers refused to negotiate
with other than accredited representa-
tives' of the International Longshore-
mems Association. BY this they in
ferred that they considered all union
longshOremen in Boston outside their
parent organization, inasmuch as one
of the three locals here had its charter
revoked and the remaining two were
sympathetic to this body and antag-
onistic to Joseph P. Ryan, president of
the international
Ryan came here but was unable to
arbitrate the strike. He returned to
New York announced that the strike
lacked the approval of the interna-
tional and he also revoked the charter
of the Boston local for failure to pay
dues.
After the conference today, called to
act on the workers overture for arbi-
tration without the presence of Ryan,
the shippers said they intended to con-
tinue the employment of non-unlon
workers to replace the strikers and that
strikers who applied for work would be
given jobs when they are available"
The shippers said the present strike
is the elimination Of many years OF
unsatisf ctorv relations between the
workers. Radicals in the union have
been responsible for this condition. We
have been obliged 10 employ non-union
workers to keep the commerce of the
port moving and these men are giving
satisfactory service.

Business Notes

NEW YORK, october 14.-Although
the number of buyers registered in the
New York wholesale merchandise market
during the week ended Tuesday was
above the total for the preceding week,
it still remained we'll below the figures
for last year, according to lists published
in the New York Times. For the week
791 buyers were listed as against 735 in
the previous week. and 994 in the CORE
spending week of 1880.
Active retail trade has ended for the
time being at least the lull experienced
for an extended period in the New York
wholesale markets, trade reports said.
Substantial orders to round out stocks
depleted by the holiday purchasing
wave were reported in many lines of
merchandise. The view was expressed
that with cold weather Immediately
ahead, release of both consumer and re-
tail buying power will give far more
animated appearance to wholesale trade.
Millinery deriving its inspiration from
the Italian Renaissance is being fea-
tured by a leading New York store. The
models are based upon extensive re-
search conducted by individual members
Of the Societe de Modes de Paris. Inc.
composed of leading style creators of
millinery. The styles feature beret
treatments fashioned after the hats
worn by the men of Florence, including
the poets, warriors and other leading
figures of the period.
The heavy volume of orders for mems
wear received by resident Offices in New
York indicated that out-of- town stores
enjoyed a satisfactory business on Co.
lumbus day, buying houses reported.

BONDS ARE LOWER

Advances in Interest Rates
Given as Reason for Drop
in Quotations.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 14-Bonds sold
lower today in moderately active
trading.
Right from the opening the market
was affected by the decline in stocks
and by uncertainty over the foreign sit
uation. But probably the chief reason
for the resumption of selling in the
high-grade groups was the evidence
that money rates were going higher,
contained in another advance of bank
ers' acceptance rates. Time money
quotations were firmer, with some 90
day loans reported placed at 3l4 to BIZ
per cent. The official rate, however,
remained at per cent.

Domestic bonds were in a semi
demoralized condition. Many high

United States Government issues were

such as Erie SIS. Missouri-Pacific IS
and st. Paul SIS were somewhat lower.
High-grade bonds, like American Tele-
phone SIS and Atchison General As
were firmer
Japanese government issues were sub
jected to a heavy volume of delayed
delivery sales-usually sign either of
foreign selling or of short selling-but
prices held fairly steady most of the
time. The 612s sold close to 7 per
cent yield basis and the IS sold around
$40 per cent yield basis. These
yields/hre about per cent better than
those on the cream of foreign dollar
descriptions, such as French rs and
las, Swiss SIS and Great Britain 5l2s,
but even this group was heavy today
owing to nervousness in Europe over the
German and British political situations
and the Manchurian crisis.

This was a welcome break for Wall

reductions. 1t had been expected, how
ever. some observers looking for an in
crease in the regular dividend rate, as
well as the distribution of an extra

EX-GOVERNOR STUART
SEEKS FARM RELIEF
Asks I. c, c. to Force Railroad
to Give Him Special Freight
Rates.
BY the Associated Press

BY Jne Associated PreSS.
Henry G. Stuart. former Governor Of
Virginia, yesterday asked the Interstate
Commerce Commission to order the
Norfolk e. Western Railroad to pay him
$4,000 damages because he was refused
drought relief freight rates last year.
Stuart, wealthy farmer and stock
raiser. lives in Russell County. Va. He
said in his petition that during 1880 he
lost 100000 in farming and cattle rails
ing, due partly to refusal of the rail-
roads to grant him special rates allowed
other farmers. He expressed the belief
he was the only farmer in the drought
area of Virginia denied these rates.
Stuart said 80 per cent of his income
was derived from farming and cattle
raising. He added he had been in
formed by railroad company agents that
he was entitled to the rates, but after
permits were issued they were Cancelled.
The reason given for cancellation, he
said, was that he was not a needy
farmer, but millionaire and former
Governor of Virginia"
