At the meeting of the United Labor League yesterday delegates were admitted from the Upholstery Weavers' Union, No. 25, and Journeymen Tailors' Union America, No. 56. Local No. 37, of Upholsterers' International Union of North America, notified the league that it would withdraw its delegates.

A resolution frag passed in opposition the bill now pending at Harrisburg permitting tower fire-escapes for factories, The were exceedingly strongly worded, and asked for the re Time is hard on poor furniture and' leaves its imprint early. A bright idea is to get the thoroughly trustworthy-kinds from reliable makers who guarantee every piece. We unhesitatingly guarantee because we manufacture and know the quality is perfect. Especially true in regard to parlor and upholstered lines. Buy where you can depend on a perfect purchase, because "Time will.

Tell." is not the slightest evidence to show that any important changes are to te made. The stock has been unduly depressed because of the misfortunes of the Packer estate, and is now reacting to a point that more nearly represents its true value. The most interesting advance in the local market has been in United Gas Improvement, in which it is said" an important deal is pending. The nature of the operation is not stated, but recent buyers express entire confidence that a much higher level of prices will soon be reached. The quick advance in Union Traction from 8'Ji to was on insida orders, and.

nothing else. In some respects the local market lacks the snap exhibited in New York, and certainly there has been no such influx of outside buyers as has been seen in that miirket.

June 12. No new features of Importance developed in the cotton situation to-day. The trading was on a small scale and largely of a local character, and confined principally to traders evening up their' contracts over Sunday. The market was small and narrow in consequence, and the fluctuations were confined within narrow limits, and on the whole unimportant. The Liverpool markets developed further weakness.

Cables reported spot cotton there very dull, with prices easy at l-16d decline, to the basis cf 4-32d for middling. Even at this concession there was a limited demand, the total sales being only 40iO bales, of which 210rt bales v-ere of American cotton. The market there for futures opened quiet, with prices unchanged to point lower, and closed steady at a net decline of l-64d from last night's prices. These advices, with the official weather map showing much warmer weather all over the South, with light showers in Central Texas. Tennessee and Georgia, led to a renewed liquidation, and the market opened easy at 2 to 4 points decline.

The selling pressure soon subsided, however, and the loss was later recovered on buying by traders and covering of shorts, the market finally -losing steady at last night's Spot cotton here and at the South ruled quiet and steady and In fair demand, with prices unchanged from yesterday. 1 he range of prices for the day was a follows: Yester's Open.

There was an Increase of $1,810,000 in loans, making a gain of $9,000,000 in this item in three weeks. Large receipts of currency from the interior caused a gain of 244, 500 in actual -cash, while the deposit account was increased by and now stands at the unprecedented total of These changes caused a gain of in surplus reserve, increasing that item to The expansion in loans tells very clearly of the improvement in manufacturing and mercantile circles, and the remittances of currency from the near-by interior indicates that an early movement of the new grain crops is not expected. Nothing but easy interest rates can be expected from such a condition as this, particularly as the foreign exchange market shows every indication of breaking sharply in the next week or so.

It is very evident that there will be no further important inquiry for gold for foreign account this spring. In speaking of the money market last week the Financial Chronicle of Saturday said: Money on call, representing bankers' balances, has loaned generally during the week at 1 per cent, at the Stock Kx-rhanpre. A few loans have been placed at IVi and some at l'i, but the average for the week has been a fraction below the last-named rate. A feature has been the offering by one of the large trust companies of round amounts on call at 1 per cent, on all dividend-paying stocks which have not defaulted in three vears lint verv Tittle of this monev was at the rates current on the Exchange. There are liberal offerings of time money, but the demand is light, mainly for the reason that commission houses, a rule, are relying upon the call loan branch of the market.

Quotations for time contracts on good mixed Stock Kxt-hnnge collateral are 2 per cent, fcr sixty days, 2V. per cent, for ninety days to four months and 3 per cent, for five to seven months. There is a good demand for first-ci'ass commercial paper, while the offering's are fair and names cli not accumulate. The inquiry will probably continue good until the banks are lilled up. when the demand will naturally slacken.

Kates are 0U0V2 per cent, for sixty to ninety day indorsed bills receivable, WjSl-I per cent, for first-class and 4a4'A per" cent, for six months' single names. Ranks having large correspondence with institutions in the interior report a continued inquiry preparatory to applications for rediscounting, and the letters received speak very encouragingly of the outlook for the employment of money; but as yet very few reciiscotir.ts are made. The feeling in mercantile circles uptown is very confident. Many houses report repeated orders for goods, while others say that their business is larger than it has been for five years. One of the most important reasons for the belief that the advance in stock prices, which has just set in, will be very important, is the fact that we start from an extraordinarily low level.

Bradstreet's has kept a record of the fluctuations of ninety-eight commodities for many years, and the index number representing the value of these commodities is but little above the lowest of last year. At the time of the Baring panic, that is, on January 1, lStl, the index number was 101.741: ion June 1. 1S07, it had fallen to 72.828. The numbers at important periods in the interval are given below. January 1, 1S91 January 1, 12 January 1, 18W3 July 1, lSy.1....

IS!) 67.1S2 75.044 74.193 72.823 It is very evident that merchants and manufacturers have been operating upon a declining scale for five years, four of them years cf severe stress. After such an anxious experience they are all carrying light stocks, and as it is well known the consumers liave almotrt entirely exhausted their resources, it is very evident that when the demand does set In it will be quickly transmitted to the source of production. That is to say, the recovery will be very rapid. The speculation in stocks is broadening so fast that no opportunity is afforded for a reaction. The constant arrival of new buyers in the market absorbs all the stocks offered by the room operators as fast as they are presented.

London, too, has teen a pteady buyer and has taken fully shares of stocks the week, although on Monday that market was closed altogether. The bullish fever is spreading very fast and is assisted by the masterly manipulation of the clique in the Morgan If the present expectations of an active fall trade are justified it would net be at all surprising if Reading first preferred and Northern Pacific preferred earned dividends during the present year. These stocks hav-? led the speculation during the past week and although they should react some, still they are pretty certain to be kept prominently before the street for some time yet. A good deal of talk is heard about the improvement in the anthracite trade as a reason for the advance in New Jersey Central, but there is -no improvement in the trade to speak of. The coal companies will probably make more money in the last half of this year than they did in the last half of 1S0, but their great gain will come not from the cerJ business, but from the improvement in manufacturing, which is such an important element with most of them If the Lehigh Valley earns a dividend this year and the Reading earns one on its first preferred stock it will be from their miscellaneous freight business and not from their anthrac'te coal trade.

The New Jersey Central has fewer industries along its line than almost any other anthracite property, and, therefore, will derive lr-ss advantage from this source. In the local market the rise in Lehigh Valley has occasioned a great deal of loose and purposeless talk as to changes in the management.
