BASE BALL MAGNATES MEET Peace Conference Preliminary S:ion Held Eetweea Oomnvttccii OUTLOOK IS GROWING MUCH BRIGHTER Prosper! ;l for agreement to the Baal on Which Terms of ipltlfmrnl Mey Me Approached. CINCINNATI, Jan. All th mcmb:D f the joint peace committer of the Na tional and American Bae I'f.ll lcsirurs met here today. The National members are at the fit. Nicholas and the American mem bers at the. Orand hotel. They met sepa rately durlnr, the forenoon with tin owners ind managers In their respective leaRUes, many of whom are present, as well as President Harry I'ulllam and Ban Johnscn. The American members want the dispute over the players pas-ed on first. Chair man Herrmann, after spending the night ith Robison, Dreyfus and others, net James A. Hart and other National leader this morning and afterward called on Charles Comlskey. Heury Kill ilea, Charles Snrners and other at the headquarters of :he American conferees. Session Lasts Eight Hours. The Joint conference went Into execu tive session at 2 and Presidents Johnson and Pulltam were made the fourth mem bers of the committees of the American and National leagues respectively. The eight representatives were the only ones admitted to the conference. The discussion lasted from 2 until almost 7 this evening, when a recces of an hour was taken. The conferees then went to another room, where dinner had been or lered, and the executive session was prac tically continued while thpy were dining. A crowd of reporters and base ball men gathered on the outside, among them being J. E. Bruce and C. J. McDIarmld, counsel af President Johnson, and stockholders In the St. Louis club; Manager Frank C. Ban croft of the Cincinnati Nutlonal league club and Manager Charles Nichols of the Kansas City Western league club. The peace commissioners were Interviewed as they passed Into the public dining room and stated that no action bad been taken, although they had discussed all the ques tions In dispute. They had not yet agreed on the extent or even the character of an agreement, and were therefore unable to teclde on the order of business or what questions should be taken up first. There seemed to be a consensus of opin ion that It would be necessary to reach n lompromlse on the questions of territory and disputed players. One proposition discussed was that about a score of players who have feigned con tracts with both leagues should remain where they were at the time of the '"peace meeting In New York last month. It was also proposed that the American league should hold Its franchises for clubs in Pitts burg and New York. As to Pittsburg, there 1b some doubt, but It seemed to be understood that the Amer ican league would gain a foothold In New Vork. One or the conferees said that the ex change of opinion had done much toward establishing confidence between the oppos Ing forces. Before the meeting each aide bad mistrusted the other, as there bad been considerable misrepresentation. The general discussion was opened by each one of the eight, conferees being callel on to explain just what he favored, what ha thought ought to be done, how It could be don and how far the conference should go.

Chairman Herrmann said the conferees spent the evening In general discussion, without any motion or action, but that they seemed to be getting together. In response to a question he admitted that, amalgamation had been freely dis cussed, with specific plana for a twelve club league and other changes, and special consideration had been given to contract Jumpers. It was conceded by all that the conference would compute Its work tomorrow, and this was generally Interpreted as indicating that the conferees were really getting to gether on the principal terms that would enter Into a peace agreement.

FUEL FAMINE IS OFFSET Dan Baji General Prosperity Minimis! Coal Shortage Efil. TRADE OPENS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL Tardy Deliveries Lead to Advance Or ders, Collections Come In Promptly and Everything Points to Year of 'access. NEW YORK, Jan. 9. R. Q. Dun ft Coa Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: v'ollectlons are notably .prompt at all leading renters, bearing testimony to the fine financial condition of the nation's In dustries at the opening of the year. Dis tribution of merchandise Is heavv and manufacturers are pressed lor prompt de livery. Orders for spring goods come freelv and In some lines there Is more than a sample business In tall weights. Tarly deliveries In the past lead purchasers to anticipate requirements more than hereto fore and orders are being placed far In advance of actual needs. Fnel Sltnatlon Still Serlons. The fuel situation Is still the one aerl- ousfy disturbing element, rendering ab normally high tne cost of maniifLi-itirlnir and restricting the purchasing power of al most the entire population. Fortunately, mis comes at a time of exceptional pros perity, or there would be a general con traction Of consumption in other lino. 'J here Is little Interruption because of the labor disputes, but many operations are in terrupted by the delay In transit of needed materials. Railway freight rates were ad vanced, and one result will be a lues of exports from eastern cities, the traffic beln deflected to New Orleans. In the Iron and steel Industry the most significant event of the week was the dis cussion regarding the profit sharing pro posal by the leaulng producer. Inadequate supplies of coal are still restricting opera tions, contracts lor tne new year were made at 14 a ton, but prompt deliveries often commanded 8 or Si ami at Chicago some sales were reported at 110. pig Iron continues scarce, prices generally advanc ing during the past week, and the ex pected advance or $1 a ton was made In wire products. Much new business line come forward, especially in bars and sheets, which had been comparatively quiet, while there la a vigorous demand tor structural material to be used In Drldgo work and car shops. Another year of un precedented activity in this Industry Is con fidently anticipated. Partially because of the published statistics of supplies, but more on account of London speculation, there was a aharp advance In prices of tin and copper, followed by some reaction, due to realising sales. Footwear Is Light. New England producer of footwear are busy on spring Business and a few deliv eries have already been made, although shipments are light In these lines as yet. Lxceptlonal activity In rubber goods Has reduced supplies to an unueually low point. Home varieties of leather have advanced slightly and tanners of hemlock sole have only limited holdings. Exports of hemlock sole continue heavy. No new features have appeared In the domestic demand for dry goods. The best event as to cottons haa been the continued buying for export, which has exceeded ex pectatlons largely. The print cloth market has ruled firm, with business restricted by the reserve of sellers, who show no dis position to make concessions. An ti woolen goods the demand for overcoatings for next fall has not come up to expectations which may be attributed In part to the f.ict tnat tne season opened unusually early. Prices are fully maintained at the opening level or tne season. h allures for the week numbered SaO In the united States, against 373 last year, and 21 tn Canada, compared with si a year ago.
