NEW YORK, Oct. 16 The formal an nouncement thai the coal miners represen tatives had agreed to submit their difficul ties with the coal operators to the hoard if arbitration appointed by President Rooa . en removeo any lingering uotiots thai existed In WhII street as to the possible hitch In the efforts to bring about a satis lartory solution of the matter. With the removal of this long deterrent factor aa a market Influence, speculators began to figure on the benettclal effects oil general business, that would follow the re sumption of active mining operations. News from the antliruclte region Indicating that the miners were In Jubilant spirits over the prospect of speedily returning to work was greeted with great satisfaction, as was the statement that the mine opera tors were mnking preparations to rexume work on a large s-ale. Advices from tabrond that the situation was viewed there with great cheerfulness Intensified the optimlstlc leeling nnd caused heavy buying of the general market. London followed Its satls laction over the outcome by creating a strong and active market for American se curities there and supplemented it with some largo buying orders nere. Prices opened with a rush upwurd and huge blocks of stocks were bought at rising prices. The opening In the coalers was large and there were 6.O0O shares of Pennsylvania pur chased on a fractional spread. Initial gains were well over a point throughout the ac tive list and after a temporary setback the rise was renewed with vigor and advances of 2 and even '3 points became numerous. Tho buying movement embraced all of the usual favorites and at times was heavily centered In various groups, particularly in the Pennsylvania group. The pronounced strength of the market brought out the usual crop of rumors regarding special stocks, particularly Norfolk & Western, which advanced over 6 points to 80 on re ports of an increased dividend. Much of the heavy buying throughout the list was credited to a heavy operator who has re cently returned to the street after an ab sence abroad. After the first burst of en thusiasm over the favorable aspect of the coal strike situation tho street began to re gard that Incident as a secondary tailor In the market and commenced to discount the expected eaalng up of the monetary situa tion through the rumored bond purchases by Secretary Shaw. Nothing definite re garding this developed during the day, but there were verv manv circumstantial ac counts touching the transaction. It was re ported tnat the amount Involved would be about $15,000,000, which would be tendered by a syndicate on satisfactory terms. Pro fessional traders were inclined to regard the heavy buying as foreshadowing an early announcement of the transaction. Room shorts showed mucn concern over the heavy absorption of stocks and covered pretty extensively In many of the leaders. The market at times showed some hesita tion while realizing was in progress, but where this process was going on the effect was largely counterbalRnccd by heavy buy ing at other polnta. Monetary conditions today were more favorable to borrowers and there were more liberal offerings of time money below recent rates. Prominent features In the day's movement were the Pacifies, Louisville & Nashville, Stigar, Illi nois Central, the high-priced coal stocks and St. Paul. The laucr waa marked up above 190 on a revival of reports of closer relations with Union Pacific, which stock was also conspicuously strong. Sterling exchange rates today were somewhat teadler, owing to a rather smaller volume of commercial bills. The statements of the large European governmental Institutions were scanned with Interest, in yiew or some expectation here that there Is an early likelihood of gold imports.

The mniiiv of the offerings on the whole was rather inrenor. so tnat what little good stuff did arrive sold to fairly good advantage. Included In the receipts were several loads of cornfed cattle. Some of them showed considerable qualltv. and those kinds sold without much trouble at verv satisfactory prices. There have been ho good cattle here In so long that It 'Is al most Impossible to make comparisons, but the cattle sold at about what ft was thought they would bring. The common and warmed-up kinds were neglected, the same as usual, and buyers did not seem to care whether they got that class of cattle or not. The cow market was active this morning and fully steady with yesterdav. Packers all seemed to be quite anxious for supplies, and as a result It waa not long before practically everything offered was disposed of. As compared with the close of last week the market is a little stronger all around. Bulls, veal calves and stags also sold fully steady with yeaterday. The stocker and feeder trade did not show any great amount of activity. There were verv few good cattle here, and such winH. could be quoted steady. The common kinds were very dull, the same as usual. There were very few western beef steers on sale, and the most of them that did arrive were lacking In quality. Good beef was steady, while common kinds were rather dull. Range cows showed consid erable activity and the market could he quoted fully steady. Stockers and feeders if desirable, were steady, but others were hard to dispose of at satisfactory prices.

The market opened Just about a dime lower than veaterdav's aversse hut aa sellers were holding for more monev the market was slow In getting started. When trading did begin, however. It was not long before the bulk of the offerings was dls. posed of. The most of the hogs sold from $90 to $6.96 and as high as $7.05 was paid. Some of the packing grades sold from $6.80 to $6.85. There was not much change from start to finish, as the last arrivals, sold In about the same notches as the early hogs.

Paekere have been so short on mutton of late that they have had a hard time to supply their trade, and as a result they were anxious for both sheep snd lambs and the market ruled active and 10 15c higher than yesterday. As compared with the close of last week the market may be quoted 15tff25c higher on desirable grades. Afew cars of native sheep and lambs ar rived and they sold at very satisfactory prices. The cornfed lambs brought mostly from $5.25 to $5 35, but as high aa $5.50 was paid for a small bunch. Yearlings sold up to $4.00 and ewea $3.60. The demand for feeders was also active and all desirable grades sold at stronger rrtces. There were a good many buyers on hand, so that anything desirable was easy to dispose of. The common kinds, though, were slow, the same as usual.
