Persons Fear a Reaction.
IMPORTS VERSUS EXPORTS.
Remarkably uncouraging Figures — Con-
dition of the Stock Market—Increas-
ing Demand In Iron Industry.
Failures of the Week. T
New York, Sept. 18. —R. G. Dun &
Co.’ 5 weekly review of trade says:
The end of the bituminous coal strike
and the return of many thousand men
to work at advanced wages adds to the
purchasing power of the people, and the
anthracite region affects not a-fifth as .
many workers. The starting of many
mines and works, the enormous ex-
ports of wheat and corn, the favorable
news as to those crops and cotton, the
fall in sterling exchange a’nd the report
showing that gold imports began in
August, exceeding exports by $2,390,587,
while merchandise exports exceeded im-
ports by $40,953,753, have all contributed
to forward the improvement in busi-
ness. The replenishment of stocks can-
not be-halffinished, though. some whol
could see no sign. of improvement a. few
weeks ago ,are now finding it so vast
and rap1d that they fear'reaction. But
consumers as well as dealers have also
to supply themselves after years of en—
forced economy, and while their power
to purchase is increasing every day, and
their actual buying at retail, réasons
for apprehension are not urgent. When
the tide rises after four years of de-
pression it does not fall again after four
weeks.
The wheat market has declined cvei
4 cents on account of crop reports which
promise larger prosperity, and corn and
cotton are both a. little lower for like
reasons; yet estimates of the highest
financial authorities regarding require-
ments from this country are not small-
er, but larger than before, while better
prospects in Argentina, Australia and
India hold out no promis of large Eu-
ropean supplies, or of any unfil winter
is about over. Atlantic exports. of
wheat, flour included, are more than
double last year’s each week. Corn de-
clined over 1 cent, with growing belief
that the yield will surpass estimates.
Cotton was depressed from 71/2 to 7%
cents, with favorable news of yield, al-
though the mills are now consuming
with great rapidity.
The Stock Market. .
The stock market had another of its
reactions on Monday, but on Tuesday
was higher than ever. The microscopic
reactions thus far have been signifi-
cant. After the average of 60 aetive
stocks had risen $4 per share, it.fell 36
cents in two days of reaction in June
and then rose again. After rising $5
more it fell 17 cents Aug. 9, then rose
. another dollar and had a. serious reac-
: tion ,of 69 cents on the 17th, but was
' $3 more.
higher than ever within a week. Aug.
24 and 25 it fell 25 cents, but then rose
Sept. 13 its reaction averaged
25 cents, and it has since advanced 74
cents. The certainty of American in;
vestors that general improvement will‘
greatly increase railroad earnings has
experience behind it, for in five years
ending in 1892 the volume of business
rose 25 per cent, but the earnings of
railroads increased 50 per cent. Earn-
ings reported for September thus ten
are but 1.6 per cent less than in 1892
and 8.2 per cent larger than last year,
while tonnage from Chicago exceeds
that of 1892 by 15 per cent. The pay-
ments through clearing houses for the
week have been 56.3 per cent largei
than last year and 27.7 per cent large1
than in 1892.
After the remarkable excess of mer-
chandise exports over imports in Au-
gust there appears in two weeks of Sep-
tember an increase of 17 per cent over
last year in exports and a. decrease of 2(
per cent in imports, though last year
exports exceeded imports this month
by' $44,250,000. It is not surprising that
sterling exchange has fallen 114 cents
during the week, the stronger money
market here also having influence. The
outgo of currency to the interior was
$4,750,000, and London bought about
80,000 shares of stock more than it sold
Commercial loans do not decrease in
volume, but were proportionately
smaller, as bankers are preparing for
future interior needs. With Paris ex-
change almost at the gold point, im-
ports from Europe seem not diSLant.
The Iron Industry.
The iron industry again she .‘s in
creasing demand and an average 01
prices nearly 1 per cent higher, and this
gradual rise, now only 7 per cent from
the lowest point, is impressive because
at no point pushed beyond purchasing
by consumers. Buying of 100,000 bosse-
mer‘ pig at Pittsburg has advanced the
price to $10, gray forge is hard to find
there at $9.15 and billets sell at $15.50
Contracts for Santa. Fe bridges, Fort
Wayne elevation at Chicago and the
Harlem bridge here, in all 22,000 tens,
have been placed, with others for sev-
eral large buildings. The demand in cm
works is heavy and urgent. Plate mills
are full of orders east and west, and
sheet mills are more busy at the east
and crowded at Chicago. There is lit-
tle change in minor metals, but with
output increased to 122,431 tons weekly.
Connellsville coke advances to $1. 40 for
furnace.
Textile mills are more fully employed
than at any other time for years, though
new buying has diminished in amount,
and though while the number of orders
received is still large,'the amount is
smaller. The demand is still very good
for the season, and prices are firm
throughout with some further advances.
Actual buying of wool by mills is in-
creasing at all markets, and the belief
that foreign supplies are short helps to
make prices stronger. '
Failures for the week have been 204
in the United States' against 317 last
year, and 40 in Canada against 32 last
year.
Spanish Minister Disciplined.
Madrid, Sept. 18.—The bishop of -Ma—
jorca, Balearic islands, has excommu-
nicated the Spanish minister of finance,
Senor J._ Navarro Reverter, for taking
possession of the treasuryof a church
in his diocese. The ministers propose
to appeal against the bishop to the
holy see.

TRO UBLES AT 11111131111131),
Women Make an Attack on the Workman
at the Monarch Washery, and They
Quit \Vork—Massillon llIlners Re-
sume and Idaho Men Strike.
Hazleton, Pa., Sept. 18.—A powder
mill at Lofty, about ten miles from
here, was struck by lightning and‘ex-
ploded. The building was burned to the
ground, but no one was injured. The
explosion gave rise to the report that
the strikers were attacking the DOWdel‘
house, and occasioned some excitement
here, it being reported that a detach-
ment of troops had been requested.
At an early hour today a message
seached GenerallGobin that there was
more trouble at Audenried. The attack
made by the women yesterday, which
resulted in driving the miners at those
collieries out, was repeated when an-
other attempt to start up the collieries
was made today. More than a hundred
men reported for work at the Monarch ;_
washery, when the band of women,
armed with sticks and stones, 'came
down upon them. Some of their num-
ber again stationed themselves on top
of a culm bank ready to pelt the men
with their weapons, but violence was
avoided by the men promptly going
out. At the Star washery about 110
out of 135 men returned to work, but
the women are determined to drive
them out, and they are not expected to
be working'more than a few hours. '
No attempt was made to resume at
the Carson washery. . As soon a's the
reports (if this disturbance reached
General Gobin, he sent a squad of the
governor’s troops to the scene. When
the cavalry reached there all attempts
at violence had ceased, but the women
followed the troops about the street,
hooting and cursing them.
The brigade commander’said today
Saturday night, which is to be addressed
by P. J. Maguire and other prominent
labor leaders, will not be interfered with"
unless incendiary speeches are made.
There will be a. guard of soldiers there
to suppress any such agitation. The
general added that he is trying to err.-
ciliate Fahey and the other leaders, who
are asking for a speedy withdrawal of
the troops. General Gobin answered
their. request by telling them the only
way to bring about such a withdrawal
is for them to stop holding mass meet-
EM
ings and exciting the people.
Massillon Miners at “Work.
Cleveland, Sept. 18.—Twenty-ope hun-I
dred minors went to work in the Mas-
sillon district today. The differences be-
tween operators and miners were ad-
justed at a conference last night at
Massillon, at which concessions on both
sides were made. A uniform car limit
of 2,500 pounds was established, and
the price paid for break throughs and
for room turning was increased. The
miners agreed to ignore the ten day pro—
vision ad-opted at Columbus and to re-
turn to work at once. The bright out—
look in the Pittsburg district and the
light demand have created an easier
feeling in the coal market here.
Idaho Coal Miners Strike.
Pocatello, Ida., Sept. 18.—The coal
miners at Diamondville are on strike
and will stay out until their wages are
raised and the truck store system abol—
ished. The capacity of the mine has
been about 1000 tons daily, and it has
been running full.
Windstorm In Ohio.
Cleveland, Sept. 18.—A storm which
swept over northern Ohio approached a
tornado in intensity. At Sandusky roofs
were torn off, plate glass windows were
demolished and numerous trees blown
down. A yacht in the harbor was
wrecked. At Defiance considerable
damage was done to buildings and
crops, and the same report comes from
Massillon. At Paulding several build-
ings on the county fair grounds were
wrecked and panic caused among the
people. ’

Shoe Operators Strike.
Brockton. Mass, Sept. 18.—One thou-
sand operators on the Chase lasting
machine in the shoe factories of Brock-
t0n and vicinity, struck today. The
strike fever is contagious. It has al-
ready spread to the edge setters, and at
several factories the men are out 011
strike. A conservative estimate of the
entire number affected, if the strike of
the edge setters becomes general, is
2,500.
Welcome Rain In the Western States.
St. Louis, Sept. 18.—In addition' to
causing a decided decline in tempera-
ture, the rain which has fallen during
the past 24 hours has broken the
drought and done much to save corn,
orchards and pastures. Reports re-
ceived from southeastern Iowa, south-
ern Illinois‘and Missouri indicate, that
the rainfall was pretty general.
Yellow Fever Suspect Dies.
New Orleans, Sept. 18.—Seena Braun-.
ner of Webster and Second streets, Car-
rollton,_ died today. The case“ was re-
ported as suspicious on Sept. 13 .by Dr.
Bell. An autopsy will be held. It has
not beensdeclared yellow fever. Two
new cases of yellow fever have been
reported today.
Coal Trust Case Postponed.
Saratoga, Sept. 18.—The coal trust
case, which was on today’s calendar of
the appellate division, supreme court,
third judicial department, has, by
agreement of counsel, been put over till
It is understood that it
will be argued Sept. 24.
Simla’s Latest Trouble.
Simla, Sept. 18.—A destructive fire
which began in a bazaar of Kabul, the
capital of Afghanistan, onSept. 6 lasted
until Sept. 7. One hundred and fifty
stores were burned, four persons were
cremated and damage to the amount of ,
several lacs of rupees was done.

ceived here that the, Spanish coasting
