,
The current stock movement against
the coalers has been so bitter that It
indicates to the Philadelphia Record
either that the rumored demoralization
In the coal trade has been arranged for
the Bake of enabling the cliques to buy
that sort of shares, or that the ehort
interest has been so extensive that its
representatives will stop at nothing to
facilitate their own attempts to cover.
Throughout yesterday the streetwas
treated to an extraordinary combina
tion of rumors, among which was one
giving the earnings of the Jersey Cen
tral for the first eight months of the
current year, accompanied by a state
ment that the net result was less than
the fixed charges of the company for
the same period, and that its dividend
might be passed for nn indefinite time.
As Jersey Central is now very closely
held. It would have been Impossible to
gain a knowledge of the real condition
of the company, unless it had been ob
tained from the officials of the road,
and their object in the circulation of
such yarns could only have been aimed
at frightening real holders of that class
of stocks Into selling before the Novem
ber rally commences. Another rumor
was directed specially against the Dela
ware and Hudson company in claiming
that the company's coal beds are near
the point of exhaustion. The latter was
a specially gratuitous piece of informa
tion that could only have started from
people who desired to depress the com
pany's stock quotation. The latter two
stocks, as well as Lackawanna, broke
severely in their quotations. Lacka
wanna dropped from 162 to 156, Jersey
fell from 102 to 98, and Delaware
and Hudson from 126H to 123. ' In all
the melee, however, Heading was at no
time as low as It had been on the pre
dnv. thereby demonstrat
ing that the drive against the other
coalers had been used as a cover under
which some clique had been buying
Reading. Real owners of Reading
would prefer a coal war because It
would enable the company not only to
regain a portion of its lost percentage
r,i allotments hut because the road
ivoniii mnke much more through n-
creased shipments than it could possi
bly lose through a decrease in pi we,
A prominent official of the Reading
Cnn nnrt Iron comnanv. who is thor
oughly conversant with the coal busl
og onl.l tn a Khnmnkln Dlsnatch re
norter. in speaking of the alleged
threatened coal war: "I am not a
prophet and will not atempt to say
what may occur in the future so far as
the coal situation is concerned. The
actual situation today so far as the
Reading is concerned, at least, Is that
we are selling all tne coal we are mm
ine. and for the past two months, ow
ing to the restriction In production, we
have sold considerably more coal man
we have mined, at least 100,000 tons
more, and In consequence thereof, have
very materially reduced our stock of
coal on hand. The time is now on
hand," . he added, "when the coke
regions and New England points will
have to begin to stock up before lake
and river navigation comes to a close
for thl3 winter. This wll permit oi un
restricted mining for Novembei' at
least and the future will depend entire
ly on the severity of the winter. Should
the months of November and December
be mild a curtailment In the produc
tion will naturally follow." Another
prominent official referring to the re
port that the Delaware and Lacka
wanna has withdrawn from the coal
compact said that the company, like all
others, would not turn a '.customer
away after its quota had been mined
Their representative at the meeting
Wednesday, Mr. Holden, the Reading
official said, was In no wise antagonis
tic, but was in accord with what was
done. As to the prices of coal fixed
upon for November the Reading official
said, notwithstanding the Increase they
were considerably lower than for the
same month last year. The Reading
mines, except some special collieries In
cluding those of the Shamokln district
closed down Thursday and will remain
closed today, but after Nov. 1 they will
be operated throughout the month.
Railroad men expect better reports
of earnings from this time on. As one
of them explains to the Indianapolis
Journal: "Wearenow coming to a place
In business with the railways where they
cf n tell about what they are doing in
the way of earnings. Everything is
getting down to the hardpan basis.
"While most roads are carylng a larger
tonnage than last year, and freight
earnings show an Increase, still moBt
roads in this section show a decrease
In passenger earnings up to the present
time, but the tide will now turn with
the passenger department, as after
the third week in October the world's
fair business did not cut a very impor
tant part in receipts from the passenger
service, the business carried being
mostly homeward bound on the return
part of the ticket. I look for better
things with the passenger department
from this on, for the reason that for
weeks past the receipts from the pas
senger business have compared favor
ably with 1892, which was a better year
for some roads than was 1893."
The building alone, without the land it
will occupy, .will coat l,OOtt,0P0. It will
be Are proof, five stories high,' and be
constructed of steel, brick, granite and
terra cotta.
MINOR INDUSTRIAL NOTES:
Fixed charges of the Jersey Central
are about $400,000 a month.
- a he furnace of the' Temple Iron com
pany, at Temple, -Pa:, has resumed
blast. '
The Superior Steel comnanv. of Pitts
burg, has put up a building for the pur
pose of tempering steel.
oross earnings for thlrtv-seven roads
for the third week of October show a net
decrease of $165,027. or 2.64 per cent.
uross earnings of seventy-four roads
for the second week of October Bhow a
net decrease of $360,316, or 4.26 per cent.
Aldace P. Walker is quoted as saying
that he will not accept the presidency
of the Sante Pe while he Is the receiver.
The plant of the National Bolt. Nut and
Rivet works, limited, of Reading. Pa..
which was closed down for a short time,
Is now In full operation.
ine Pensylvania Steel comDanv. of
Steelton, Pa., has started furnace No.
11, of the open-hearth department, for
the first time. The furnace has a capa
city of fifty gross tons.
General Pasenger Agent Edwards, of
the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton,
has instructed agents to take coupons
from mileage books of traveling sales
men in pay for excess baggage.
ireulctlons of an earlv advance for
Bessemer pig and for steel billets re
main unrealized, with the outlook Indi
cating nothing favoring materially
higher quotations until February.
xne Chesapeake and Ohio will build
an electric light plant at Rlchmond.Va.,
to supply Its storage batteries, which
areuaedonitspnssengertralns for light
ing them, and which are proving a great
success. '
The N. & G. Taylor Co.. tlnplate man
ufacturers, of Philadelphia, are running
eighteen stacks. The demand for its
plates during the latter part of Septem-
Der compelled It to run up to 10 o clock
at night.
The gross earnings of the Missouri
Pacific the second week of October
reached a little over $500,000 and came
within $9,000 of its hieh water mark.
The Toledo, St. Louis and Kansas City.
in the second week, earned $35,818, and
increase this year of $823.
H. E. Collins & Co., of Pittsburg, have
received a contract for the iron build
ing to be erected for the Keystone Roll
ing Mill company; alBo to erect for the
Philadelphia company, at Murraysville,
Pa., two buildings, both to be con
structed of Iron and stetM.
The plant of the Beaver Falls Steel
works, of Beaver Falls, Pa., manufac
turers of cast steel, which has been run
ning single turn since March 1 of this
ypar, has started up on double turn.
The firm reports the outlook as fairly
good, and hopes to run double turn all
winter.
Never In the history of the enst-and-west
lines has there been so largo a
movement of empty cars eastward to
seaboard points to be loaded with west
ern business. The billing shows that
west-bound 'tonnage Js 40 :per cent,
larger than In October, 1893, and largely
of the higher class freights.
The decision of Judge Field, of Louis
ville, in a damage suit that the Pullman
company is not a common carrier,- and
therefore not responsible for damages,
as it did not control the running of the
trains, is looked upon as an important
one for that company, if the decision is
sustained by the higher courts.
There seems to be but small hope that
the eastern freight question can be ar
ranged for the better, at least at the
present time. General managers and
general freight agents who have re
turned from the meeting at Cleveland
say that no efforts were made to
strengthen the east-bound pool, and
this, under the present condition,
amounts to the practical cessation of
all efforts to keep up the pool.
The Leechburg Foundry and Machine
company, of Pittsburg, has now ready
for shipment the equipment for the new
tinplute plant of the Norton Tlnplate
company, at Cambridge,. O. The equip
ment Includes three hot mills of the
regulation size, , three cold mills, three
doubling shears,- two squaring shears,
one Mesta patent pickling machine and
one No. 2 roll lathe. The Leechburg
Foundry and Machine company is also
erecting the tlnplate plant of Wallace,
Banfleld & Co., limited, at Irondale.
A charter of incorporation was re
cently granted to the Monongahela Tln-
piaie company,1 oi ruisDurg. rnis con
cern is closely Identified with the Oliver
Iron and Steel coippany, of that city,
but at the same time is a distinct or
ganization. Contracts have been let to
the Robinson-Rea Manufacturing com
pany, of Pittsburg, for the erection of
nine hot mills, 24x32 Inches in size. It
is proposed to engage In the manufac
ture of tin and terneplate on an exten
sive scale, and contracts for the neces
sary additional machinery will likely be
let in a short time. H. W. Oliver, of the
Oliver Iron and Steel company, Is un
derstood to be prominently identified
with the new venture.

Superintendent Lawall of the Ve-
high and Wllkes-Barre Coal company
says that beginning on Monday they
will work eight hours a day and six
days a week. The Lehigh and Wilkes
Barre controls eleven collieries and em
ploys about 3,000 men. Mr. Lawall
said, however, that the full time Is con
tlngent on the weather. The past few
weeks of raw and disagreeable weather
created a brisk demand for anthracite
coal and the surplus stock was exhaust
ed. The Delaware, and Hudson Coal
company has also posted a notice that
their mines would work full time.
' Work on the largest street car house
In the world will begin this week at
Fiftieth street and Seventh avenue,
New York city. The structure will be
the property of the Metropolitan Trac
tion company, and the aim or this cor
poratton will be to make the new build
ing an ornament to the city. The
terms of the contract call for the com
pletion of the car house within twelve
months, and part of it will be in read!
ness to receive cars within six months.

New York, Oct. 29. Business at the
Stock Exchange was moro active, but
the activity was at the expense of the
values. As of late the anthracite coal
ers were the features of speculation,
but today the high priced Investment
stocks and the Grangers received more
attention. Liquidations were oulte
pronounced In the cases of the coalers.
Grangers and other Issues. For a long
time past the bulls have been boasting
that the efforts of the bears to dislodge
long stock were unavailing and that
each attack only served to Increase
the short Interest. They can say so no
longer, for today there was enough
Btock.
In the Industrials. American Sus-nr
was weak early in the dav, but later
the price was bid up to 86 from 85;
closing transacting were at 86. In
the final trading a fractional rally oc
curred and the market left off some-
wnai steadier in tone. - Net changes
show losses of; Vi to 1. Sales were

An Admirer of McKlnlcy.
From the Rochester Post-Express.
The most effective campaign speaker In
the Republican party today and undoubt
edly the most popular man In that party,
Is William McKlnlcy. Kovernor of Ohio.
He has been speaking for two weeks or
more. Everywhere It Is the same story of
large audiences, effective speaking and
great popular enthuuiaum. JamesU. Blaine
was a great political speaker, Benjamin
Harrison delivered some short speeches in
1888 that were remarkably adroit.
Thomas B. Reed Is an effective orator:
but McKlnley has more energy than
Blaine, greater endurance than Harrison,
more skill In sustained argument than
Reed. One secret of his popularity.
aside from the graces of oratory nnd
complete familiarity with the subject, lies
In McKlnley s personality. However peo
pie may differ with him on the question
of protection, there can b no difference
of opinion an to McKlnley1 as a man. He
Is recognized by all as an exceptionally
able politician, but, beyond and above
that, as a patriotic, pure-minded, and
honorable man.
Seasonable Preparations.
He bought him a new waste basket
That would hold a bushel or so.
For he knew they soon would begin to
come in.

TO our patrons:
tVashburn-Croshy Co. wish to assure their many pat
roiw that they will this vear hold to their usual custom
of millinu STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop

owinu to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
wheat tully tnree
no risks, and will allow the new
months to mature before urindinii.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Wasliburn-Crosby Co.'s Hour far above other
brands.
