New York, Aug. 13.—(By The A.

The moderate advance in stock prices, under the leadership of railroad shares, reflected. the belief that a set- tlement was imminent—a belief which was not taken by growing disaffectipn aming the railroad brotherhoods. ana realization that a coal famine was a se- rious possibilit. Competent observers point out that removed, resumption on a large scale of the business revival, which has been steadily gaining headway may be cou- fiently expected. = As “&n ‘offset to the losses - which _the country - has already suffered there is now an - accumulation of demand the filling of which will spur industry for some time to come. Coal supplies, meanwhile, have dwindled to the point where basic industries have been seriously affected.

During the burning of the bacracks ana other buildings there several of the ir- regular troops were entrapped and had to be rescued by means of ladders.

From Waterford he had to travel by tramp steamer, which plowed around the coast for fourteen hours before it reached Queenstown. At Quecnstown were the first signs of devastation caused by the reticing irreg- ulars.
