Copper Circular.
New YORK, November 4, 1897

AVE" AOth, NONomD6f 4, 1006.
Demand was by no means active dur
ing October, and although the month
opened fairly steady, yet the market
yielded under more or less effort to sell
within the past fortnight and the price
gave way to II cents. The decline has
not developed any decided tendency to
stock up by consumers In anticipation Of
future necessities, but as is generally the
case on a receding market. manuiac-
turers are inclined to hold OF. Bot this
is not to be wondered at. especially as
manufacturers are pretty we'll supplied
Tor the balance Of the year,
While some leading copper producing
interests are not particularly anxious to
press sales just now on the basis OF pres
ent market values. nevertheless sufficient
copper is procurable at IL cents to meet
the present demand. Inasmueh as the
Calumet and Hecla guaranteed their own
price Of Tx on previous sales to their
customers, they cannot be expected to
enter the market until after the explra-
ton OF their outstanding contracts this
year. Manufacturers haye been quite
busy OF late, and this fact IL very en-.
couraging feature OF the situation, but
on manufactured copper prices arc very
low compared with the former margin
existing between the raw and manufac-
tured article.
The foreign copper market fuctuated
between e49.3.9 and f47.15.0 per ton

NO RELIEF FROM CAMPBELL
KANSAS COMMISSIONER FAVORs THE
CHANGED LIVE STOCK RATES.
Says Cents Per 100 Pounds Charge Il,
Fairer to Small shippers Than
Dollars Per Carload Rates
Hallway News.

Topeka, Kas., Aug. 5.-(Special.) Rail-
road COMMISSIONS Campbell. in discussing
the proposition of the railroads TO restore
the cents per 100 pounds rate on live stock
in Kansas. to-day said that he believed
that it was the proper way to make the
rates. n intimated that If shippers came
to the board with complaints they would
get no satisfaction from him 1T seems to
me-" he said, that it puts every shipper
on the same footing. The farmer who only
ships a couple of cars of stuff each year
then gets the same rate as the man who
ships twenty cars. The dollars per car
rate plan always struck me as in favor
of the heavy shipper. For instance, rail-
roads. in competing for business, would
pay more attention to 4 large shipper than
they would a small one. They would see
that the heavy shipper got a thirty-six or
forty foot car, and sometimes would fur
nish him with palace stock cars, while the
only car they would set in for a small
shipper would be a thirty foot car. Now,
under the proposed plan. the small shipper
with the thirty foot car will pay freight
on the actual weight of the stuff and the
heavy shipper with his big car Will do the
same. OF course. the big shippers VIII
probably kick. but there are more small
shippers in Kansas than large ones, and
the rate that will be fair TO the greatest
uumbe is a good thing"

STOCKHOLDERS ARE ASSESSED.
Missouri National Bank DepOsitOrs
May Receive Another Dividend
in the Remote Future,

Receiver Theodore B. Wallace. of the de-
funct Missouri National bank. has received
the formal notices from the comptroller
that an assessment of 100 per cent has
been levied on all of the stock of the bank
and that tits payable not later than Au-
gust 80. The notices have been sent TO all
OF the stockholders. and unless the sums
required are forthcoming by the time des-
iEnated the receiver will have to bring
suit for the collection. While some of
the stockholders are worth the sum as
sessed and will come forward and paw,
there are many stockholders who will es-
cape the assessment. because the govern
ment cannot enforce the collection of the
sums.
The first announcement that an assess
ment was to he made on the stock was
published in The Journal on July .. and
told that it would be 100 per cent. At that
time some Of the parties interested took
pains to dispute the correctness of the in
formation. but the assessment has been
made. and the sum is just what The Jour
nal said it would be.
That il will require much litigation to
ever close the affairs OF the bank is sure.
There will be much personal bitterness
show itself in the settlement. and there
are good grounds for saying that the next
federal grand jury will be called on 10 in
vestigate the methods used in some in
stances by the banks management.
The heaviest individual stockholders are
Major Calvin Hood, of Emporia. and
Charles J. L. Lantry. of Strong city. Kas.
Of the bank they were induced TO purchase
about $4,000 Of the stock. but had later
sold a part of II to some friends The
number of stockholders is 40.

Talks of the Future of Omaha, Kan

road.

Theodore Gilman. of New York. who has
had charge of the financial adjustment of
matters in the transfer of the Quincy.
Omaha & Kansas City to the Omaha, Kan
sas City & Eastern system, was at the
Coates House yesterday. He was in the
city consulting with the officers of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Trust Com
pany in the final disposition of details of
the transfer of the lines and the opening
OF the system for business. He will leave
for the East this morning.
we have concluded everything connected
with the opening of the system for bust
ness. and ran the first through train this
morning." said Mr.. Gilman last evening.
we are now ready TO go after business
and handle it for the public. Our next
step will be to get the line of the Kansas
City & Northern connecting road con-
structed so that we will have a direct con-
nection with Kansas City. We think we
have a line that furnishes a very valuable
connection from Omaha to Quincy. We
also have a good connection for Chicago
with the Santa Fe at Hurdland, and when
the system is completed to Kansas Citv
our property ought TO earn some money.
There is not a dead mile of track on the
line The country along the road produces
an immense amount of freight TO be carried
to market and also demands a great deal of
stuff from other markets, and the line will
get business both in and out of every sta
ton"

TOM MORAN UNDER ARREST.
The Notorious Tough Suspected of Be
ing One of the Thieves Who
RObbed S~trefcher'S Store.

Tom Moran, one of the members of the
West Fifth street gang of tOughs, was
picked up by the police yesterday on gen.
eral principles, for investigation. Inspector
Halpin has had a feeling all along that
Moran was one of the men concerned in
the theft OF the showcase of rings from
Ia front of Streicher's jewelry store, at
ltii Main street. Monday evening, and or
dered his arrest.
AFTER Moran's arrest, Harry Unkefer. OF
l@8 Holmes street. and Edward Netzham-
mer. OF l6i5 Washington street. told De-
tectYe OHare that they saw the men
steal Streicher's showcase, and believed
they could Identify one of them. The de-
tectiNe took them to the police station. and
they told Inspector Halpin, after they had
seen Moran, that he resembled one of the
daylight thieves. They were not positive
IN their Identification. however, and Moran
was held for Investigation.
inspector Halpin hopes TO be able to put
a state charge against Moran. as IL does
no good TO send him 10 the w~orkhOuse on
a city charge. He takes an appeal to the
criminal court, and by the time his case
IS called the witnesses are scattered SO
that a case cannOt be made against him.

STOCK BUSINESS BOOMING.
Six Thousand Cattle shipped From
Ia Yards i'm One Day to
Country

The revivifying effect of the recent rains
was again seen at the stock yards yester-
day. The pens were full of buyers from
the country for stockers and feeders, and
there was hardly a commission house but
what had one or more orders for cattle
to go back to the country. No such move
ment for this class of cattle was ever be-
fore had at this time of year.
The recent rains insure a big corn crop
In many sections and good late pastures.
and save much of the corn in the drouth
stricken portions of Kansas.
II Is now pretty well settled that tho
West will have plenty and cheap feed for
this fan and winters operations. hence
this rush now for young and growing cat
tie and hin sheep to go into the feed lots.
There were no less than POP cars shipped
TO the country Wednesday. close to 6,Oe
head. the largest number ever sent out in
ore day this early in the season. and II
was only exceeded once before at any time.
November Is, 1886, when the shipments were
24 cars.
Kansas got 81 cars. Missouri 100 cars,
Iowa IS cars, Nebraska Z cars, and Illi-
noiS 5 cars.
