On the corner of Hudson and Charl-

to critical eye. would seem to be
Stumbling down, or rather would ap-
parently be il it were not held up BY
the adjoining building. The window
frames. which once were square, are
quite out Of plumb. dropping downward
on tho south side. The ceilings are low
on every floor, and on the Hudson street
front the first floor, which is . little
above the sidewalk and reached BY q

couple Of small stores, while the en-
trance to the upper floors 10 gained
through door OH Charlton street An
extension has been erected ON this side
to the main building 80 a. to cover the
lot.
The building was formerly the farm.
house of Aaron Burr and was located
ON the top OF Richmond hill, through
which Varick street was cut. When
these streets were laid out, the old
farmhouse was brought down to the
road, which is now Hudson street. and
placed ON a vacant lot, then and now at
the corner Of Charlton street. Opposite
to it was placed another frame house,
which had been removed after the great
fires Of 1885 and 1916, from Chambers
street, where it was known a. the "Old
Brown Jug" This removal had been
caused by the extension of the Gre linn
its in the lower portion of the city. A
few years ago the "Old Brown Jug
building was condemned and torn down.
In its place brick structure has been
erected. But so far the old Burr house
has been spared, for, although it is out
Of plumb, the building was 30 strongly
constructed that there is little danger Of
its falling.
For many years the old house Wa %.
cupied by an old time Leather head
Waterman" who, after his retirement
from that service. employed his time in
making leather travelling trunks, which
he sold on this corner, occupying the
upper floors with his family. At his
death, a few years ago, the family, like
many of those who formerly resided in
Greenwich village, removed 10 the ND.

has since ceased to be inhabited b. ono

eThcre has been no change in the price
Of copper which would warrant any such
speculation in the copper stocks as that
which has just subsidized, says the En-
cheering and Mining Journal. Lake
copper was quoted at II cents pound
in New York on August 7. but on Sep
tember Is 1t had risen only to 11A and
In cents, and on November IL 1t had
fallen to about 10N. 1t Is true that at the
present time the tendency of the price
II downward. but no considerable fall
IL to be anticipated, and any decrease
which may occur will probably be slow
Is well as moderate in it's amount. The
movement in the copper stocks, how
ever, seems to have been based only to
vogy small extent on the copper situa-
ton; 1t was entirely speculative, and
outside considerations, such as the ease
or tightness of the money market, had
more to do with 1t than any reasons con-
nected with actual values"

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The Evening
Posts London financial cablegram says:
The stock markets here were stagnant
and irregular today. English rails were
good during the day on better reports from
the strike, but the close was uncertain on
a report that the engineering employers
are to submit an ultimatum to them, which
1t Is feared may be refused. Americans
opened rather dull on New York prices,
but later rallied and showed considerable
backbone. The continued absorption of
bonds by New York is almost phenomenal
South American stocks recovered yester-
days fall. The market today had to pay
for f2,5O0,0 900 of India bills, thus causing a
rise in short money rates, and fresh bor-
rowing from the Bank Of England. 1t is
believed that the bank has temporarily ac-
quired control of the India money just
raised.
Today's sharp raise in the Berlin and
Hamburg discount market surprised Lon
don. 1t comes usually early In the month.
