Outcome of Miners Convention, Rise in Foreign Exchange and Tkreat . ened Actios Against Merger. NEW YORK, Oct 20. Irregularity marked the course of today's stock market. The con trolling influences .were the uncertainty as to the outcome of the coal miners' convention, the risp in foreltm exchange, and the threat- -ened action of the Southern courts against the latest railroad combination. There were some material gains at the outset, however, espe cially in St. Paul, Baltimore & Ohio, Pennsyl vania, Missouri Pacific and Wisconsin Central. On the other hand, such active Issues as Read ing. LouUville & Nashville, Norfolk & Western and Atchison were lower. The strength of St. Paul was due to reports of an early announce ment of "rights." The first reactionary movement was checked by the Increased strength of Baltimore & Ohio, as well as pool movements .In several other stocks, Including Illinois Central. At the same time. Union Pacific, -which has been fairly steady, sold off, and St. Paul also lost a point from Its best figure. Advances In the issues of Kansas City South ern. Canadian Pacific Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste Marie and Toledo, St. Louis & West ern preferred were ascribed to the various pools interested In those stocks. Practically the same Influences were at work In other quarters. The United States Steel shares were firmer and In fair demand. Trading In the tractions' was very moderate. Money was decidedly easy, opening at 6 per. cent, advancing point and then lending ar low as 4 per cent. rThe downward trend of the list was more marked during the afternoon session, tind especially all of the gains were lost at the close. . The exceptions to this rule were mainly in themlscellaneous group. Lon don was a seller all day. The bond market was quiet and Irregular all day In sympathy with the uneven stock specu lation. Total sales, par value, $2,8S5,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. STOCKS.

The Southern Pacific took out a shipment from New York last week of 600,000 pounds of tobacco. It went to Galveston via tho Morgan Line, and from there Is to ba carried to San Francisco on a special train of 11 cars. Dansville, N. Y nurserymen are digging trees for shipment, and tho work will be prose cuted vigorously until cold weather sets In. The number of trees that will be shipped this Fall Is estimated to be more than 2,500,000. Some trouble is experienced in getting cara to ship this vast number of trees.

The Pacific Tinplate Company has been organ ized under the laws of South Dakota, with $300,000 capital to handle the new concern. Workmen at Gas City are preparing to leave in a body with their families for Los Angeles. SLOT MACHINES. They Form a Part of the Whole Gambling System. Troy Press. One of the wholesome effects of reform municipal administration was the smash ing of 200 . nlckelrln-the-slot machines In Brooklyn police headquarters the other day. -They were worth, in the aggregate, about 125,000, and were destroyed In com pliance with the) statute in relation to gambling paraphernalia. In Troy and Rensselaer County the illegal and de moralizing lot- machines flourish under the "Black-Howard-Conway regime, and we hear of no purpose to enforce the law in this respect. Occasionally parties op erating them are "tipped" io move them upstairs, but it would be an easy matter to confiscate all those In use If District Attorney Howard or the Conway police authorities were so inclined. The slot machines are among the vilest of "skin games." Fools who try to beat them get left. Yet there are lota of youths and men of small caliber or partly intoxicated who are induced to squander their money in this manner. They should be protected. But that there wilf be any thing effectual done to destroy these swindling machlnre, Brooklyn fashion, cannot reasonably be hoped for upon the initiative of officials while District At torney Howard and Mayor Conway re tain their present offices. Of course, an aggressive citizens' com mittee, organized for the purpose, could stop the slot machines and other scanda lous irregularities very quickly. Corrup tlonista are afraid of a few honest men, banded together to locate, complain of and remedy evils that are disgracing the city and .gambling is not the worst of them. But the best way is to elect offi cials of conspicuous ability and integrity, who would stamp out gambling, grafting' disorderly saloons, blackmailing, the shameless assessment of subordinates and other crimes common to county and mu nicipal administration under machine rule.
