Brokers’ Gossip. Jfcy L. W. Louis’s Wire. Now York. June 80.-Wortley says: St. Paul was dhe strongeet of grangers during yesterday's market. The reason is probably found in the fact that for several day* there haa been free dSIUng of other grangers, particularly of B. & Q., the interest having been transferred to St. Paul. If the market fails to decline further, and takes on a fresh upward movement, it is expected that St. Paul will be found the leader In the group. Dow Jones says: People who have been right on Sugar called yesterday's decline a natural reaction, helped by bears, to put out shorts at lower figures, and had not covered. Those who have gtod information maintain that the linal outcome Will be a sugar schedule, slightly less favorable than the Senate schedule, under which Sugar stock will, in their Judgment, sell very much above the t prices heretofore made. These people arc- willing to hold their stock, undisturbed by any reactions. Coal men say that if the big strike of soft coal miners goes into effect this week it will help the anthracite coalers and would also advance the price of. soft

CO*l.

Wortley says: The friends of Chicago Gds claim that yesterday's decline In the ' stock was caused by realising sales, and this is undoubtedly true, pnd accounts to a great extent for the break. One house alone to thought to have disposed of 6.D00 it bought only two or three After the 4th of July iv ib cvunuviiuy believed that Gas will sell at par. The danger of adverse legislation has been removed, and the stock will be issued as soon as nractlcable. It to said that the company has earned over 4 per cent, this year, and that the output of the company Is increasing monthly. The decline in Sugar yesterday was not due entirely to realising. There was some short selling of it, and the stock was about the only oae which was in anything like demand in the loan crowd. Primary Markets. Primary market receipts of wheat, were 188.008 bushels, against 386.000 bushels the corresponding day of last year. Minneapolis received 145 cars of wheat and Duluth 66 cars, a total of 211 cars, against 420 cars the corresponding day last year.

The Wheat Market Again About Normab-The Quotations. Chicago. June 30.—Wheat had fully resumed its normal condition at the opening to-day, the scare over the July corner having apparently dntirely died out. The opening on Septeniber was steady, though at a slight decline, rains In the winter wheat belt where harvesting is in progress, offsetting the effect of weakness at Liverpool, which market showed a %@Hd decline. Trading was very light and prices moved slowly within a narrow range. Northwest receipts were lltrht—211 cars, against 179 last week and Go a year ago. Crop reports from Kansas were very encouraging. September opened a shade lower at 65H@6SHc. and declined to 64%@64'ic, more from lack of support than from heavy offerings. Corn was quiet and weak with wheat, and the hot weather which was considered favorable. Local receipts were 469 cars. September opened unchanged at 26c, and declined to 25%c.

June 30.—Tradiiv in stocks at the outset showed a measure of yesterday’s selling movement, despite a higher range of prices from London. Business was In considerable volume and fairly well distributed, but the losses did not exceed sharp fractions tn the standard shares. Some of the industrial stocks displayed steadiness with Sugar and Tobacco gaining slightly. The market became quiet after the initial dealings, and a better tone devel-

oped for most shares. Sugar was the leader, dnd touched 128. The improvements in'the balance of the list were only a fraction, and were caused by covering operations. Tobacco was pressed for sale at the high range, and receded a point. Colorado Fuel and Laclede Gas also suffered a similar loss. The absence of any pronounced selling pressure against the leading stock has induced some general purchases for the long account. 1 The bulls accorded effective support to the market after the first hour, and heavy purchase prices improved throughout the list. The shorts were thoroughly alarmed, and in their efforts to cover bid prices up rapidly on themselves. The Anthracite Coal stocks were especially Strong on the proposed Increase in the circular prices of Coal on July 1, and an encouraging May statement of earnings. The Industrials were generally quite buoyant on account of the failure to secure a conviction In the Tobacco Trust case. Local Gas stocks were conspicuous. Consolidated Gas rising 2* to 168*. The Grangers stiffened * to 1*. with Omaha and Rock Island leading. Brooklyn Rapid Transit sagged sharply, but partly recovered. Near midday the market eased off a fraction on profit-taking. The bond market was less animated, but displayed a fair degree of strength. Sales of stocks to noon 153,WX) shares. Money. Money on call nominally 1@2 per cent. Prime mercantile paper 3@4 per cent.

THE CHlLDREh CHORUS.

Large Audience Atteada the Closing Concert at Tomlinson Hall.

. .7

The general interest felt in 4he work of the children's chorus was attested by the audience which attended the closing concert of the chorus given last night at Tomlinson HalL In spite of the Intense heat there were several_hundred people on the lower floor, and the balcony was entirely filled. The children presented an attractive appearance, comfortably filling the stage, in the center of which sat Mr. Arens, their director, and accompanist. The singing of the children was so decidedly artistic in quality as to give genuine pleasure. The music rendered had been carefully selected, wae at once beautiful and appropriate. The division of the program into three parts, devoted respectively to eongs for one. two and three voices, showed progression in an interesting way. In the first division, the best number was the semi-chorus, “Voices of the Wood,” arranged after Rubinstein’s lovely melody in F. The chorus without accompaniment,' “Praise the Lord" and "Rock-a-bye, Lady” (composed by Mr. Arens for the chorus), and "The Good Comrade,” in the second part, were equally well done. After the distribution o£ prizes, a charming cradle song and “The Happy Miller" weresung. The most notable numbers on the program, as & whole, were the Rubinstein melody and the unaccompanied chorus, because in these the chorus had an opportunity to show most plainly what it can do’. The famous melody in F calls for the most graceful nuances, and for nice phrasing, and the children fulfilled the requirements almost ideally. In the chorus, without accompaniment, the tone quality was shown to be exquisite, pure, and without the shrillness which is so commonly supposed to be inseparable from children's singing. In reality the absence of this disagreeable quality means that the voices nave been protected by a skillful teacher, and their natural beauty developed. The children or eat he easilj, sing in perfect time and do not flat. They were heartily applauded. Miss Lille Adam, whose remarkable voice to already well known, though she is only feurteert, sang Mlgnon's song, "Krcwest Thou the Land,” and was obliged to repeat one verse. Thad Rich played a violin solo in the intelligent and graceful manner which Is characteristic of him. and also gave an encore. It is pleasant to know that this gifted toy is soon to have the advantage of stvdy abroad. A piano solo was very creditably played by Miss Cecil Marion Bell. Prises AwardedTo the graduates who received the higest marks in examination: First prize. Francis ICdhill, a brooch from "a friend to the chiidren”; second prise, Edna Lane, belt from J. A. Rink.

Mr. McDoel will be vice-president and general manager of the Chicago, Indianapolis A Louisville. It is the same road, under another name, with the same officers and the same business.

The business has increased during the past year, and lawyers say that Judge Woods made a good selection when he appointed Mr. McDoel receiver. Over the K. A I. Bridge. New Albany, Ind., June 30.—A deal was made yesterday afternoon in this city which it is thought means that the Air Line company will enter Louisville over the K. & L bridge within a few weeks and abandon the traffic arrangement with the Pennsylvania company for the use of the old bridge. After negotiating for several months, the Air Line company purchased a strip of ground from Frederick Buche, at Vincennes and Stone streets, which will allow it a connection with the K. A L bridge track. The Air Line controls the belt and terminal road. The latter has had a track laid to Buche's property for several years, but could not obtain permission to cross until now. when 31,500 was given for the desired piece of property. The few remaining feet of track and the connection with the K. A I. bridge track will be made at once, as the material is now on hand.

Rhoada’a Paaa Lost. Official bulletins have been Issued by. the Big Four, Wabash, Pennsylvania, Michigan Central. Lake Shore, Lake Eric A Western, Cincinnati, Hamilton A Day-* ton, the Monon and a dozen more roads, announcing that an annual pass on the lines mentioned issued to C. S. Rhoads, superintendent of telegraph on the Big Four, has been stolen. It seems that Mr. Rhoads attended a meeting at Niagara Falls a few days ago and bad his annual passes in his j ocketbook. As he started to board a steamer there was a jam of people and Mr. Rhcads was lifted In the air by three or four young men, who were struggling to get on the boat. “See there, mister.” exclaimed one of them, pointing up the hlU, “there Is a man who has lost his ticket and he has to go back home." Mr. Rhoads looked, and that is why the bulletins were issued.

Trainmen** Trouble Settled. The threatened trouble among the trainmen at St. Louis was settled last night. A passenger brakeman on the Missouri Pacific left his train in the Union station for a moment to speak to his sister. The station-master saw him and at once suspended him. The trainmen on the different lines took up the matter, and for a time it looked as if there would be trouble. An appeal was taken to the general manager and he reinstated the brakeman, and required the station-master to reimburse him for the time he was suspended. The First Car of New Wheat. For five years the Clover Leaf has hauled the first car of new wheat Into Toledo, and there has been a quiet rivalry between the roads entering that city for that honor. Yesterday the Clover Leaf again took In the first car. It was consigned to Paddock, Hodge A Co., and the car was trimmed with banners announcing it. Receiver Peirce says there is an immense crop of wheat along the line of the road, and -this oar is but the forerunner of a heavy business. Wabash Annual Report. The figures of the Wabash annual report have not been made public, and will not be for some time. H is given out however, that they will show that the road, dutlng the year, earned 317,500 in excess of the fixed charges.

ISARBITRATION A FAILURE?

LABOR COKMISSIONBRS INVEST*. GATE CABBL A CO. DIFFICULTY.

The Operators Refase, aad the Law Is Crlttelsed as Weak Beesnae It Doe* Not Mske Arbitration Com ps I aor y.

- ;, l Special te Tbe Indianapolis New*. Washington. Ind., June 30.—B. Frank Schmid and L. P. McCormack. State Labor Commissioners, appointed under the act approved March 4. 1397. were here for one week, trying to settle the differences between Cabel A Co., the largest bituminous coal operators in the county, and the miners employed by them, numbering 234 men. The commissioners were at work almos* night and day, and they have thoroughly informed themselves as to the situation. They have been among the miners and the operators, and visited the mines, and have -eqjefuHy considered, and. it is thought, have impartially weighed the statements of employes and employers. After laboring for five days, as directed by the law. to bring about an amicable adjustment, the commissioners tried to Induce the principals to submit to arbitration, in which event the finding of the commission would be as binding as a judgment in court. The operators finally decided that they would not consider the proposition to arbitrate, claiming that it was too late, and that they had arranged to adopt new ifethods and had contracted for mining machines. The commissioners then proceeded to conduct a formal investigation of the disagreement. Sessions were held in the court-house and witnesses were examined on both sides. A verbatim report was taken in evidence, and the commissioners will submit their finding to the Governor, the inquiry having been concluded last evening. The contract between the bituminous operators and miners for the third subdistrict of Indiana, made st Terre Haute ithto spring, to be observed from May 1, 1837, to May 1, 1898, provided tiuk pick miners should receive 51 cents a ton, a reduction of 9 cents. The schedule was accepted by the operators and miner* here. The agreement further provided that “in case of deficiencies or inequalities, parties were to try to agree or to arbitrate.” This caused trouble. In one of Cabel A Co.’s mines there is what is termed offal, dead dirt, bone «>al and fire-clay, ranging from a few inches to more than two feet in thickness above the coal. Under the old schedule, when the miners received 60 cents a ton, they removed this dirt for nothing, under protest. Under the reduction they contended for pay for removing dirt, demanding 2 cents an Inch a lineal yard. The company refused to concede the demand, insisting that If it was granted they would be getting no reduction from last year’s prices for mining. The miners then quit work on the 80th of April, since which time the mines and miners have been Idle. This is the trouble which the commissioners fruitlessly attempted to ad-

just.

Sharp Competition In Mining. Coal mining Is not’so profitable here at present as in former years. Along the railways of southern Indiana, where, a few years ago. there was one mine, there are now a half dozen or more, and in the large markets competition is sharp- A few years ago Cabel A Co. shipped 1,400 carloads of coal annually 4o Chicago, and sold at a profit. Now they can not get coal Into Chicago and meet the prices. Then the miners worked steadily and received good wages, bought homes and lived on the bast the market afforded. Now the average day’s work of a miner here, as shown by testimony before the commissioners, is four tons a day, mine run, which, at 33 cents a ton, schedule price, aggregates 3182. Out of this must come 30 cents a day for powder, oil, etc. The price Is better for screened coal, but

tUe output is leva.

The miners claim that they can not average more than 31 a day. The dead dirt which it Is necessary to remove to termed by the miners' organisation “a defleienev," and they claim that It is customary for miners elsewhere to receive pay for removing It; that It requires from one-quarter to one-third of their time, and that at the schedule price for picking coal, fixed for this year, it would be a great hardship for them to remove it f»r nothing. They also testified that before quitting work they tried to come to an agreement with the operators. but failed; hence hey claim that it is a "lock-out,” and not a “strike.” They also assert that the district price per yard is 3106. but that they are willing to accept 31. The district price for handling dead dirt to 3 cents, but they are willing to do it for 2 cents. Sometimes the pay-roll shows that the miner has made 32 or 32 50 a day, less expenses.

but they explain this by saying that it could only occur when the miner has spent- a day in his working-room, getting everything ready for a big day’s, hoist.

Chicago aad the Market.

Mr. Kennedy 4 . secreLary and treasurer of the United Mine-Workers, testified that deficiencies and irregularities in Indiana mines were nearly wlp%d out; that screens in use were uniform, and that where deficiencies existed, as at Linton, Edwardsport, Bicknelt and Montgomery, they were paid for. He also said that Chicago fixed the price for Indiana coal. Joseph Cabel, the veteran operator, who is eighty years old and has been actively engaged in the mining business for twenty-eight years, testified that the company had been running Its mines at a loss for the past five years. B. P. Strasder, traveling salesman for the company, asserted that more mines were being developed, and that era! was becoming cheaper all the time. He also testified that while Chicago was a largo consumer, he did not believe that city

fixed the price for Indiana ccal.

To recapitulate: The miners assert that they can not handle dead dirt for nothing; the operators affirm that they can not pay for. the dirt and sell their coal except at a loss, and if they can not handle their coal and "break e\en,” they can not employ miners. For this reason they will experiment with a few machines. and if they find the new way profitable they will continue it. Twelve men are required to run a machine; six to operate it and six to load coal. As fast as the machines are Introduced the old workmen will be employed. If they

desire it.

The investigation was conducted pleasantly and Intelligently. The local miners

Locally th« tow to thought to be all right as far as it goea That is tn ssy. while the investigation is undoubtedly a good thing, tho law to inadequate to settle labor troubles unless both parties t6 the controversy consent to arbitration. This must be voluntary; it is not compulsory. Those who have bene watching the investigation now assert that the law is weak In that it does not give the commissioners power to summon the parties refusing to arbitrate. to show why. etc. Then, ahquld the commissioners determine the reasons assigned insufficient, it should have Ihe right to proceed arbitrarily. As it now is. unless both parties consent, the attempted arbitration is worth nothin*, except for statistical purposes, or for ths purpose of supplying information upon which to base future legislation. Messfs. McCormack and Schmid ars complimented for their zeal. They mad# an excellent impression while here. Both are broad-gauged men and well fitted for the duties devolving upon them.

Naturally, a caretul investigation Into the qualities of Postum preceded Its adoption by the officer in Chicago. It Is quite generally known to athletes themselves, that Postum Cereal Food Coffee adds, in a marked degree, to the power of any man for continuous physical exertion, the heart, lungs and nerves working vastly better than where ordinary coffee has been used. The reason for this to that Postum is made of certain parts of cereals, skinfully selected and scientifically preparo-d. Certain Ingredients of food are needed by the human body to supply the peculiar gray substance that should fill every nerve cell In the body. This can not be obtained from drugs, but must come from food. Postum Cereal Food Coffee Is made from these elements. It looks like coffee and taste* much like It. but to a distinct beverage, rich In, food value and standing on its own merit. - - . . „ Many people have had Postum poorly made.
