The Copper Production.

Copper is the principal metal used
these days In manufacturing, mining and
scientific interests, and conse quenily the
product Of this metal has increased to
wonderful proportions. There was mined
and aent to market during 1894 over
60.000,0 900 pounds. OF this there was
exported about lS0, ,00O, 600 pounds. leav-
ing for home use about the same amount.
As the production Of foreign copper did
not exceed l97, 900. .OOO pounds it will be
seen that the United States actually
mined and marketed two.thirds OF the
worlds production "a to lead and zinc
We are entirely independent Of foreign
sources, this country having produced
more than was required. Tin is the only
metal that seems to be scarce in this
country, for with the exception Of small
amounts mined In the Black Hills and
California, there appears to 30 little 20

this exception, 90 great are the develop

The cold weather of the past ten
 days has not tended to improve busi-
 ness or the morals of the average resi-
 dent of the borough. Tn fact, it seems to have caused more inward, and at times, outspolSen profanity than is healthy in a Christian community.
 The extreme warm weather that pre-
 ceeded this cold snap had made the
 straw hat and summer clothing trade
 begin to boom, and the various clothing
 dealers had unearthed their stock of I straw hats and placed them in a con- spicuous position near the doors, and
 were doing rushing business, but the boom suddenly collapsed and now over
 coats are brought out again. One of
 our east side farmers says that this cold snap is Q blessing in disguise, and 1t Is | hard for the average citizen to pene- trate the disguise and see where the
 blessing comes in, for the week or more
 of warm weather had forced the growth
 of everything to an unnatural degree
 and had 1t continued for a fortnight longer the grass crop and others would have matured weeks ahead of the us- ual time, and the farmers would have ldu lO SOIC lO lletylDS UtLOTG IllG lHHL of June, and other products of the farm would have been ready for har- vesting before they had really got a chance to get their natural growth. However the theory may be the major lty feel that the cold weather has been with US long enough to prevent the un- natural growth of the crops and hope that the beautiful sunset of last even ing is a sure hamburger of pleasanter, if not much warmer, weather.

 A Big oOncourse of People Attends the
 Laying of the Corner Stone of the New
 Chapel Last Evening.
 There was large gathering of people at the corner of Chapel street and sher- man avenue early last evening to par ticipate in the ceremonies of the laying of the corner stone of the new chapel which is being erected by the College street Congregational church, last even ing at o'clock. The ceremonies were opened by the singing of hymn.
 Rev. Dr. McLane, the pastor, officiat ed and made some very interesting re- marks concerning the object and aims of the church. After asking Q blessing the stone was lowered into position, while the doctor handled the trowel. Rev. Professor Blackman of the divini- ty school led in prayer. The stone on the front side has the figures 1885,"

There Was a Material Falling or in Busi-

New York, May 21.--There was a
 material falling off in business on the
 stock exchange, The dealings in rail-
 way and miscellaneous bonds aggre-
 gated $2,527, ,0OO against $2,816,OOO yester-
 day. Stocks opened rather irregular on | London selling and further offerings | by professionals who have apparently
 been deluded by the sensational reports | of serious damage to the crops. The strength of the Sterling Exchange mar
 ket, perhaps, the result of nnanipula- | tton, also encouraged the reactionists. The most serious decline during the early hours was in Northern Pacific

 provisions for the proposed reorgani-

 having received more attention from holders. It will be remembered that the plan provides for heavy assess ment on both the common and preferred stocks. A break in wheat however. made the bears on stocks feel less se- cure of their position and after midday there was a steady demand to cover short contracts This buying led to an advance of 4 to 19s per cent. In the improvement the stocks most conspicu- ous were Sugar, the anthracite coalers, the grangers, Missouri Pacific, Louis vile and Nashville, Manhattan, South ern Pacific, Tennessee Coal and Iron and the W'abashes.
 Chicago Gas displayed more strength and after slight reaction at the open ing sold up IF to 75. Western advices were to the effect that the legislation desired by the company will be granted Laclede Gas was quite feature and rose points to 33, Leather securities were also higher on New England buy ing and the common rose 1A to 229s and the preferred 2A to 94A. The favorable report of the Rubber Trust for the year led to buying of the shares and the common sold up to fl and preferred to 94%.

IN CUBA.

The recent successes of Gomez, the
leader of the Cuban insurrectionists,
warrants The impression that the
"rebels," as the Spanish call them, or
the "patriots" as they term them
selves, are much stronger in numbers,
resources, and bravery than the sup
porters Of the government would have
the world believe. Ever since the
first outbreak occurred, Spain and her
emissaries in the island have made
light of the insurgents, ,and have peri
odically put forth the assertion that
at the proper time, with one fell blow,
the rebellion would be suppressed.
Action has been continually deferred,
however, and the suspicion has been
gained in neutral quarters that
Spain has a bigger job on her hands
than she calculated upon when she
first contemplated the distur bance in
her West Indian dependency. This
suspicion has been strengthened by
recent events, and there is now good
ground for the belief that it must be
only through the importation Of a
powerful army and after a long and
hard campaign that the European
power can overcome the ''rebels.''
The latter are fighting with all the
ardor of patriotism and the evidence
at hand indicates that their cause is
just. The sympathy of Americans
naturally goes out to them, and if
they are rewarded with victory no re-
gret will be expressed on this side of
the Atlantic. From commercial
standpoint Cuba is one of the most
important states in the world, and
her interests would be materially ad
vanced with her population unbur-
dened of European thraldom. Sue

The New York Herald and the Bos-
ton Globe have announced their in
tention to discontinue, each, it's week
ly edition supplying the deficiency
with Sunday paper. The Herald
admits that the weekly news is fully
given by the numerous local papers
"that now stud the various states like
stars in the sky" This admission Of
the value of the home paper accords
fully with the opinion we have often
expressed. No other journal can re-
ally fill its place as the dissemination
of general news, and it gives, besides,
the local incidents of interest to each
community, the town and the county.

The cold weather of last week was
in very strong contrast with the hot
weather the week preceding. Some
Alaskan or Hudson Bay weather drift
ed southwark and froze the whole
country from Colorado to the Allan
tic. Frost extended well down into
Illinois and did great damage all thro'
the northern tier of States. Snow
fell to considerable depth in Michigan
and in Wisconsin. The damage to
fruit must be great, while great deal
in the line of garden, and field crops
must be injured. The damage in
this State will be something, but not
great. The weather got at least a
month ahead of the calendar, and
many people were deceived by it and
led to plant and sow what ought to
have been kept out of'the ground. It
is safe rule to do all sorts of business
by the calendar, not by the present
state of weather. If the proper sea-
son has arrived to plant and SOW, do
that work; if it has come time to har
vest and gather, do that.

RECALLED.

1t is with sincere regret that we
learn Of the recall of Seneca Haselton
from Venzuela, where he was sent by
President Cleveland as Minister. His
recall is occasioned by charges pre-
ferred by Admiral Meade, who has
been in Venzuela ports Of late and
has had to do with the diplomatic diff
ficulties which have engaged the at
tention of President Cleveland and his
cabinet. The nature of the charges
are unknown, but the New York
World claims that Mr.. Haselton is
broken down mentally and physically
from the effects of very severe i'll
ness that came near destroying his
life. Mr.. Haselton is in Washington,
and his best friend and sponsor, Brad
ley Smalley,. has presented his case
before the president. Judge Haselton
is we'll known throughout the State
and has a reputation for ability and
integrity. 1t is not believed that he
has gone wrong unless it is from the
effects Of his sickness.

The four per cent government bonds
that were sold to the Morgan Belmont
syndicate are all printed and signed
and Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury, Curtis, will sail next week for Eu-
rope to deliver the thirty millions of
them that were placed abroad. 1t is
the talk in Wall street that the mem
bers of the syndicate will divide about
$4,000, 900 among themselves as the
profits on the loan. 1t is figured thus:
The government purchased $62, ,00O,
900 in gold and paid for it in four per
cent bonds having thirty years to run.
The profit to the syndicate is
the difference in the price at
which the bonds were received
in payment for the gold and
the price at which the syndicate sold
the bonds to the public in this country
and abroad. Bonds amounting to $780,
100000 were sold in this country, and
the rest were sold abroad. They were
sold at prices which practically return
to the syndicate 40 per cent of the
money spent for bonds in this coun
try.
