CONNELLSVILLE, Pa., March 22 (Special).—During the period of de- pression many coke independents in- creased facilities for handling and loading coal and for this reason it is believed that the coal capacity of ‘the Connellsville district is larger than at any time during the war. The district is non-union.and In the event of a miners' strike, production is expected to jump above the-war- time level. Steel.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 22 (Spe- cial).—Merchants dealing in men's clothing make contradictory reports as to business, but, on the whole, de- clare conditions are improving in the moderate-priced lines.

PHILADELPHIA, March 22.—With labor problems so prominently in the foreground of all the railroads’ trou bles, the Pennsylvania railroad’s state: ment on the workings of its joint ré- viewing emmittees 1is interesting. When the “Pennsy” inaugurated this system of- settling grievances and controversies with its employes last year, one of the objections urged by labor leaders was that the commit- tees would be under the control of the railroad. The statement shows this not te be the case. 7 Of the 6,196 cases taken up by the committee last year, 3,729, or more than 60 per eent, were decided against the company; 2,314 were withdrawn By the Associated Pres; is a complete list of today's transac-| tions on the New York Curb Market up to 2:15 p.m., with sales of each is sue and the high, low ard last prices: INDUSTRIALS.

The total number of stockholders March 1 was 141,922, an increase of 6,466 in a year, the wider distribution resulting in a decrease of 3.36 per cent in the aver- age holdings of each person.

CHICAGO, March 22—Wheat aver- aged lower in price today during the carly transaction, the bulk of business part of holders. Bears contended that a considerable improvement in export demand would be necessary to bring about any decided rise in values. Favorable crop reports were also regarded as a factor against The opening, which ried from % decline to % gain, with May 1.34% to 1.34% and July 1.17% to 1.18, was followed by a slight general upturn, and then by setbacks to well below yesterday's finish. Corn and oats showed rather stub- horn resistance to selling pressure. Scantiness of receipts counted as a influence.
