There wai a BoodouUIda demand for stocks nt moderate recessions This
was shown In tho mornlnc by tho way United States Steel common moved up
from lOHj to 105U fn tho face of heavy concentrated nollliifr. These buyem,
however, wcro not disposed to climb after stocks and when higher levels wcio
established outsldo demand censed. At the Bamo tlmo tho bearish binders wcro
not disposed to offer clocks after declined occurred, 'ho result of this restricted
trading was comparatively narrow fluctuations and n small volume of business.
Generally, tho market receded nfler a display of strength in tho first hour
nnd at tho end of the day changes In virtually all tho active Issues were In tho
shape of declines ranging from fractions to above 1 point.

COAL MARKET STRONGER;
WEATHER RETARDS MINING
Difficulties Between Clothing Manufac-
,turefr!and Operators Aro Virtually
Ended Business Generally Largo
Greater strength has been uhqwn during
the last week In the bituminous coal mar
ket, according to the review of trade by It.
O. Dun & Co. Tho report also asserts that
the demand has continued quite heavy, but
that, owing; to the cold weather of the first
part of the week, the miners did not work
wor several days in some mines.
Further the review says )n part:
"Fad-mount gas coal is bringing from
4.60 to H.75 a ton at the mines: Western
Maryland, 3.C5, to J3.85: Somerset, $3.C5
to S3.SC: Geortfs'a Creek' 11.23 to 11.70;
Quemahomlng. 14 to 34.25 a ton. Some
.contracts are being placed, but, owing to the
uncertainty of the marker, aro noVgenerally
solicited. In tho anthracite mtrket the
demand has been heavy and in a number of
cases coal has been sold at a premium.
. "In the lumber trade prices are consider
ably higher and a fair volume of business Is
being done, although deliveries north of
Newport News are considerably handi
capped by embargoes.
"The labor situation has affected the bust,
nets somewhat among the shirt manu'
facturers and also manufacturers dt men's'
and boys' "clothing during tho last couple
of weeks: The clothlmr nlanufacturcrs.
however, have virtually settled their dif
ferences with their operators and are again

Market operations on the Philadelphia
Steele Kxchanso today represented nothing
more than a shifting of holdings by a few
traders In commission houses and on the
Kxchanco floor. The tradlni? all IhrcuKh
tho week has been smaller than last week,
nnd the. General disposition today was to
hold orf until there Is some development
which would make for a movement of any
proportion either way. The slackcnlm?
down In ncllvlty has been largely brought
itboiit by the conditions rullne In Wall
street, ,
Changes in prices today were meaning
less. As a rule thero were no wide move
ments, as compared with the final figures of
last night. Changes were in the major
ity of cases to a fraction below the final
of yesterday. Ho' far aj activity went,
