Our Boston Letter.

BosToN, Mass, April 6.
The copper market has exhibited ,
gratifying degree of steadiness during
the past week which has given some hop,
OF an Improvement in prices in the neal
future. The export movement has con
tinued with increased vigor which prom
Uses to exceed all previous records. So
far this year the exports hare been 80
per cent OF the production against 80
per cent for the whole OF 1895. This
been depleted not little and that any
additional demand would send prices up
a notch or two. Lake copper is quoted
nominally at IL cents, but odd lots
could be obtained from the smaller pro-
ducers or from second hands at a frac-
ton less. The large mining companies
are said to be out of the market alto
gether, most OF them being well sold up
ahead. Sales ahead az far az August are
rumored TO have been made at good
prices by one mine. The foreign visible
supply in March decreased 3,501 tons,
leaving the total supplies in sight at the
end Of the month 80, $50 tons, which is
about az small as at any time for dozen
years. This large decrease for the month
oil March, IN the face of such heavy ex-
ports from this country during that
time, shows coDclusively that the con-
sumption abroad is increasing rapidly
and that better prices for the metal are
almost assured.
Another authority states that the
Boston & Montana is producing at the
rate of 5,000,0 900 pounds per month and
earning S2,500,000 net per annum.
Why do not these authoritative state.
ments come out officially and properly
endorsed instead OF leaking through cir
culars in round about manner?
MERGED has been quite weak recently on
unfavorable rumors from the west. Ger
tificates bearing the names OF insiders
have been delivered against sales of the
stock which, in itself, is sufficient to ere
ate small sized panic among the holders
who are not favored with inside iniorma-
ton.
The Boston & Montana has had hard
time with it's new Atlantic shaft, which is
down $50 feet at present. No ore has
been encountered az yet and the water
became so troublesome that sinking was
suspended until a pumping station could |
be built. The regular quarterly dividend |
OF 81 per share has been declared on Bos- |
ton x Montana stock payable to stock
holders OF record April 10, on May 20.
1t is understood that a large majority |
of Butte & Boston stock and bonds has
been deposited under the auspices OF the
self.appointed reorganization committee.
The report Of the Central mining CON-
pany for the year ended December 81, |
1895, shows gross receipts of Si3, LAG,
decrease Of Sl2, 5S4 AZ compared with |
the previous year. The mine failed to
earn its operating expenses by $l4,4S1,
against deficit OF $4,000 for 1894.
The net surplus at the end Of the year
was $65, 40. against S79, 421. The re-
port does not give much encouragement
To the shareholders, although there is a
slender thread Of hope left ia the unex-
plored ground, where some copper may
be found. BEAN EATER.

Victor Hu1n and Polttics.

Victor Hugo, in spite Of everything
that has been said to the contrary, was
distinctly not republican at the outset
of his career, and it is more than qles-
tionable whether he would have ever
become the blatant one he did if Louis
Philippe and Louis Napoleon had con-
sented to take him at his own valuation
as a statesman. Beranger, who was a
republican pure and simple, notwith-
standing his supposed share in the es-
tablishment Of Louis Philippe on the
French throne, summed up Victor
Hugos republicanism in one line One
day, shortly after the February revolu.
tion which overtopped that throne-as
it would seem forever-an acquaintance
of Beranger met him coming out of the
Palais Bourbon. ~ shall feel obliged, "

JOKING IN THE HOUSE.
The Congressman Talked Loud Enough,
but His Neighbor Heard Him Not.

The members of tho house are still
laughing over a deliciously funny joke
which Representative Fischer of New York
perpetrated recently at the expense OF MIR.
Gibson of Tennessee.
The pension bill was under discussion.
Mr.. Gibson was speaking to an amendment
offered by himself. Mr.. Gibson is con-
spicuous chiefly for his short stature. his
fierce Napoleonic mustache and an opu-
lence of lung power which reminds one of
ex-Speaker Keller He was using this
lung power to its best advantage The
volume OF sound which escaped from his
lips reyerberated through the chamber in
trumpet tones and could be easily heard in
the corridors, IIo was emphasizing his
words with Il series of gcsticulations,
which arc tho usual accompaniment OF
speeches on the southern hastings. He
was fairly warming up to his subject when
Mr. Fischer arose.
"Mr. Speaker" he exclaimed, II rise to
point of order"
1.-The gentleman from New York will
state his point of order" replied the chail
blandly.
MY point is this" Went on the New
Yorker. "A number of members on this
side desire that the gentleman from Ten
nosscc shall speak louder. 1t is impossible
to hear him in this part of the chamber
Why, even the gentleman sitting next to
him is not catching word"
All this Fischer said with a face "a
grave as a Roman senator, dropping back
quietly as he spoke into his seat. The
house, which saw that Fischer was chatting
Gibson, awaited the result with much in
terest. Gibson, who also realized that he
was being guyed, turned and looked for Il
moment at the gentleman beside him. As
he did so his face expressed, first surprise
and then disgust.
Fischer was right. The gentleman
beside him" could not hear him. He was
sound asleep. Washington Post.
