success in every similar organization. and to be governed by them. The first and most important of those principles is that an exchange depends upon pub lie patronage for it's prosperity. and to get public patronage it must have public confidence. The way to get 1t is to conduct the organization in a way to deserve confidence. To get this. two things are indispensable First, an exchange must see that It's mem bers all deal fairly with their custom CTS, no matter whether they deal in listed or unlisted stocks. Every mem Der who does not do a square broker age business should be expelled. Rig ging the market and promoting the sale of worthless stocks is not a square business, and the great majority of the members of the Denver organization have been engaged in both lines of business. Perhaps that is true about the members of the Colorado Springs body, but if it is, the public has not yet learned the fact If it be true, the day of death and stagnation for its now prosperous organization is not far in the future.
 The second thing necessary in secur- ing public confidence is to scan closely every mining company and stock listed on the board. None but meritorious properties. honestly conducted. should ever be listed. and none but listed stocks should ever be dealt in. Give the public to understand that the fact that stock is listed is evidence of its merit, and that buyers will have fair show when they purchase listed stock and there will be no lack of business. There are plenty of people who are willing to speculate in mining stocks if they can be assured Of a fair deal: but there are very few who are willing to invest when the chances are favor able for being buncoed and swindled. as they certainly are when they deal n the Denver organization.
 Ever since a president of the Colo rado mining exchange used that or ganization ard his official position to aid in floating stocks for his own ben- eft, and fioated them by false state ments, rigging the market and pay ing unearned dividends, the exchange has been on downward grade His management gave the public their first reason to distruct it. That reason was strengthened by the fact that the ex- change lister ragtag and bobtail, re- quired no statements from companies, and became finally nothing but an or ganization which aided sharpers to fleece the public. The public learned the truth, and little business is the result
 There have always been some mem bers who earnestly wished to do what was right and reform it; but they could not control it when control would have saved it. The stench of fraud will always hang around it, and it cannot be recrganized and be suc- cessful. A new exchange, properly

 While the production of copper in the United States fell from 9,390 tons in June to 16,052 tons in July, exports of the metal have jumped from 9,356 tons in June to 15.354 tons in July. July exports of copper have been the largest of any.month thus far this year. With production of 16,052 tons per month, and a monthly export move ment of 15,354, leaving only 69S to meet the domestic demand, and with that demand reviving, a copper famine is among the possibilities, not to say probabilities, of the future.
 For the first seven months of this year our production of copper was 136,- 539 tons. against 123995 tons for the corresponding time in 1897, 117,975 tons in 1896 and only 93,336 tons in 1895. In these same seven months our exports of copper have aggregated S3.- 538 tons against 78,589 tons in 1897, 69,2O3 tons in 1896 and only 40,250 tons in 1895. While copper production in the United States has jumped from 93,- 336 tons in the first seven months of 1895 to 136. 539 tons in the correspond ing period of 1898. an increase of 43,- 2O3. or 46 per cent, copper exports have gained from 40,250 tons in 1895 to S3,- 53S in 1898, an increase of 42,3SS, or l05 per cent.
 It is somewhat singular that while the production of copper in this coun- try is steadily increasing, the Euro pean production is as steadily falling off. In July the European production of the metal was barely 6,794 tons, against 7,5SS tons in June and 7,327 tons in July, 1897, while for the first seven months of this year the total European production was 47,674 tons, against 51, ,590 tons in 1897, decrease of 3.91G tons.

THE COPPER SITUATION

The Boston Post prints the following interesting article On the copper s'tua- tion:
 The feature of greatest interest ID the stock market >he past ten jays Eas been the advance in the price of copper, accompanied by sharp demand for copper shares at advancing prices. n fact, the signing of the protocol was taken as the signal for the resumption of activity in the copper market. The metal as a result rules firm at an ad- vance of fully A cent. In fact, copper consumers as well as producers are very generally looking for a 13-cent copper market. For the first time in months, we almost said years. this sharp advance in copper is not mere marking up of prices on dull but firm market, but is accompanied by heavy dealings, some contracts reach ing months One leading copper bro ker in New York, who does business for some of the smaller companies, re- ports that in the last four days alone he has sold over 100000 pounds. while one leading producer on Thurs day last made a heavy sale for spot, November delivery. Others have sold as far ahead as January. In this con- dition of affairs there is little wonder that sellers of copper are hopeful and buyers more or less anxious.
 The present strength of copper Is ex- plained partly on the theory that the large producers, having recently dis posed of large amount Of their out put ahead, are resting, with the mar .ket practically bare of the metal.
 Then again the statistical position of the metal, particularly abroad is an ideal one as viewed from the pro- ducers' standpoint, and would appar- ently lead to the conclusion that H. cent or even lucent market might yet be attained before this year reaches it's finish. The visible supply of cop per abroad on August 15 was barely 2S,605 tons, a decrease of 1,256 tons since August 1, and decrease of 3,350 tons since January 1.
 The July returns show that while the production of copper in this coun- try has been small compared with pre- vious months, exports of the metal have shown an enormous increase. United States production of copper Qong tons) for July, 1898. aggregated 1G,052 tons, compared with 19,990 tons the previous month and 15,347 tons in July, 1897. In fact, the July produc- tion was the smallest of any month so far this year, the maximum production

ABOUT MINING EXCHANGES.

The Colorado Mining Stock ex- change, or it's successor, which is the old organization under a new name, is doing almost nothing. The ex- change at Colorado Springs, on the contrary, is doing as good a business as it has done heretofore, and stock dealing there is having something Of a boom. Of course there is nothing without a cause, and it is interesting to study the cause of the difference in the business done by the two bodies
 It is to fe found solely in the manner in which the Denver organization has been conducted. It neglected to rec7 ognize the truth of a few fundamental principles which lie at the base of a

The fine weather Of the past few
weeks has changed to cool and rainy.
Farmers have about finished gath
erine corn and cotton and are now
busy sowing oats. A larger acreage
than usual will be sown in small
grain. This part of the county
made fair crop of wheat, Ed
Eleazer alone ground about four
thousand bushels, and several other
mills to hear from.
Rice culture is growing in favor
with the people as they learn from
experience that a large portion Of
our lands is specially adapted to its
culture. This correspondent had a
small patch, about one-eighth OF an
acre which made him two and one
fourth bushels of clean rice. We
will have to get at something besides
cotton for money crop and while
rice may not take its place, it is
something to eat and will also sell at
remunerative prices until we have an
overproduction.
A number of our citizens have BE-
come convinced that they can make
more money manufacturing cotton
than in growing it and are going to
various factories, some to Newberry,
some to Lexington and still others to
Columbia. We wish them abundant
success but are sorry to lose them
from our population.

Caution to Liquor seizers.

A few days ago, at F rth Adams,
Mass, the chief constable seized a
Jar of rum and arrested the party in
whose possession it was found, for
selling intoxicating liquors. At the
examination before the district Judge,
he.swore and testified that he had
seized the liquor, and made detailed
statement of the fact. Hon. Shepard
Thayer, the attorney for the prisoner,
asked him if be knew it was liquor.
He replied "Yes, it was rum" He
was then asked how he knew it was
rum, and he replied, that he had
drank some of it. The prisoner, who
was a woman, was then called as
witness in her own behalf, when the
following questions were put and re-
ceived:
@ Did you have any liquor in
your house when the state constable
called there?
A. Yes, I had some rum in a jar.
Q How long have you had it?
A. About six months.
Q. Did you have it to sell?
A. Oh! no. I don't sell liquor.
@ What did you have this rum
fol-?
A. I kept it to wash the baby.
@. Had you ever washed the
baby in this rum?
A. O, yes, often! I used to turn
out some in dish, wash the baby in
+, and then tuln it back into the jar
again.
@. DO you mean to say that this
vas the same liquor of which the
state constable drank?
A. The very same.
There was great laughter in Il
court, and the state constable de
clared he would seize 70 more liquor
that was kept in jar. He is about
the only man in North Adams that
will take oGense if you ask him tc
take a drink.
