the vIands set before him. 1t was not, how
ever, until the vegetables were served that
he made any alusion to the food. When his
favorite vegetable, dish of green peas,
was uncovered, he demanded attention, and
when all was silent remarked in loud
voice:
'There is death in the pot!"
A great excitement ensued; the guests,
who were in full uniform, drew their
swords, and murmurs of death to the trai-
tori" were heard on every side.
Then Washington sent for Mistress Bless

eye, and was given the seat of honor at
her hosts right hand. She took it with a
dignity that called forth approving and adj
miring comments. Soldiers are proverbialiy
gallant, and those of '76" were no excep-
ton to the rule.
A servant was next sent out by the com
mander-in-chief on d peculiar Grand lie

eagerly of the dish of peas.
And in five minutes by the watch it lay
dead in their midst.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. :
MARKET NOTES.

The copper procession began to move
yesterday morning with the greatest
promptness and a very solid look. The
conditions for the metal could not be
better.
1t is generally talked that Amalgam-
ated will be listed very soon and that
its substantial rise is at hand.
Elm River Co. is working 140 men,
The company has two double compart-
ment shafts under way, and Friday
copper was blasted in large quantities
from vein believed to be Winona lode:
also new one from conglomerate
belts. Good roads are now open to
the mine, and machinery and supplies
are being delivered without incon-
venience.
Visible supply of copper July l, 29,OO4
tons, a decrease of 277 tons since July
Is.
The sale of the Wisconsin Central
under the decree of sale handed down
by Judge Jenkins, May 80, in the fore
closure suit of Trustee Stewart, will
take place at Eau Claire Friday morn
ing.
Copper closed very firm Saturday at
lSAQ1S1ac. for lake, and the week was
the most active in the metal for a con-
siderable period. Consumers were
ready buyers and contracts have been
made running into September. Some
holders are again entirely sold up for
several months ahead and are conse-
quently out of the market
A well known Boston banker, a stu
dent of events, says: There is a close
similarity between the oil craze in 1866
and the iron craze in 1899. Oil and its
production are legitimate, as also are
IRON and its production. But the ere
alton OF oil companies on land where
there was no oil was largely partic-
lpated in by some of our citizens, and
they and the outsiders hold the bag"
London, Las p. m.-Coppers are the
features here today, Anaconda selling
equal to 56B, Utahs 445s. In the rail-
way share list Illinois Central is con-
splcuously strong at price equal to
1l7A New York parity. The continent
is buying Union Pacific and Northern
Pacifics.
Prime reports from Chicago: 1.-THE
month of June has been the best 30
days of growing weather and condi-
tions ferafaFs44 work that the country
mas experienced since the first of
March, 1899, 1t must be borne in mind
that this date is a most critical turn
ing point for all the spring seeded and
planted crops, and the outlook today is
that we are on an up grade rather than
a down. We are from seven to ten
days earlier this season with our win
ter wheat harvest than last year. The
wheat promises to be, so far, of much
better quality than we had expected it
would, and as toquantity the standing
wheat has filled out better, and we
shall have, l think, little more than
we had looked for earlier in the sea-
son. No insects of any kind have been
reported this season in the spring
wheat crop"

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE,

New York, July 5.-The market stocks
continued notably strong. today. The
activity was widely distributed. ex-
tending pretty generally throughout
the list. The general strength was
maintained in spite of a realizing move
ment in the stpcks,. that We're most
conspicuous in last weeks rise, nota-

and the Vanderbilt group, including

cif1c. There was no very heavy pres
sure Of liquidation in these stocks but
there was an absence of effort to hold
up their prices, and number of thCm
show losses Of a point or over.
There was a realizing movement in
the grangers also, but the vigorous
strength of st. Paul sustained this
group and brought new buying. The
line of shorts put out in the grangers
on the early belief in the ruin OF the
wheat crop is understood to have been
very large, and no small part OF the
present strength of the grangers is
attributed to the covering of these
shorts. Atchison preferred rose to
60 3-8; Rock Island Jagged in the
movement on the disappointing May
statement Other railroad stocks
showing conspicuous strength were IL
linois Central, Southern Railway pre-
ferred, Northern Pacific and Erie LIST
preferred. The strength of these was
on buying for London account. MeXi-
can Central was in large demand, and
late in the day the Coalers rose from
/ to l ga.
Bears who had sold Brooklyn Tran
sit in expectation of a Fourth of July
strike were eager buyers to cover short
contracts and advanced the stock at
one time nearly A points. The rise in
sugar extended to nearly four points.
Other specialties which rose strongly
were the Tobacco stocks, Steel 6
Wire, Tennessee Coal, Peoples Gas, In
ternational Paper and Anaconda.
There was some hesitation in the
early trading on account of the failure
of the money market to ease off, as it
was expected to do under the July dis
bursements on interest and dividends,
but later in the day call money fell
to per cent. 1t is now admitted that
the recent gold exports have been di-
rectly due to borrowing for the pur-
pose of easing the German money
market, which was in urgent need of
funds to carry over the half yearly
period. Money is now expected to flow
back to Berlin on account of recent
speculative liquidation, and the crlti-
cal period there is believed to be over.
Discounts in foreign markets are gen
orally easier today.

gains were spread over the active LIST
and were sustained well. There was
quite noticeable liquidation in New

An Antitrust Convention.

Every governor and every attorney-gen- eral in the United States, always except ing Attorney General Griggs, who comes from New Jersey, is requested by Governor Savers, of Texas, to report at St. Louis on September 20, for the purpose of taking action in recommending legislation that will force existing trusts into dissolution, and prevent the creation of new trusts. Governor Savers is convinced that if as many as twenty states can be induced to adopt a uniform policy in reference to trusts, and will enforce such policy with firmness, impartiality and vigor, relief from the great evil will surely and quickly follow.
 Governor Savers has invited all governors and attorney generals to attend, and he assures all that there is no politics in the proposed meeting. And yet it seems to be understood that the republicans will not attend, and that the attendance will be confined to the officials of the south and southwest. non-attendance of the con- ventlon on the part of republican officials will have but one meaning-they do not desire to see the trusts vigorously pressed just as MT. Mark Hanna Is preparing to circulate his campaign subscription lists. They are not opposed to trusts until after campaign funds are gathered in, and then they will want time in which to consider the matter. The convention will doubtless democrats, and even if these can agree upon some common plan and can secure its adoption in their respective states much good may be accomplished.

Ore Supplies of the Future.

The Iron age frankly admits that when the Lake Superior district is drawn upon, as it soon will be, at the rate of 20 coo. 900 tSss year. failure in the supply of high grade ore is plainly discernible. Ut is safe to say" adds the Iron Age, "that in a few years a 50 per cent. or poorer ore will be readily taken from the Mesaba, and no scoffing at the statement will change the fact"
 In the American Manufacturer, pub- lished in Pittsburg, Captain Samuel Mitchell, of the Lake Superior district. thus discribes the ore situation:
 A few years ago much was written and published about the supply of iron ore on the Lake Superior ranges being exhausti- ble, especially the Mesaba. Great damage was done the ore interests by these state mnts. W do not get reports of this kind from mn who know what is meant by

The True Democratic Position.

The esteemed Montgomery Journal in it's efforts to divide and distract the demo- cratic party of Alabama, affects to con- slider the Age-Herald untrue to the Chicago platform. The Journal bolted the platform of the last state convention of the Alabama democracy, and 1t is trying to find other bolters, no matter from what. If the Jour nal really desires to know what the posi- ton of the Age-T4etald is, 1t can find it stated in these recent words of General A. J. Warner, of Ohio:
 Bryan has lost none of his strength with the democratic party. The money question has lost none of its importance, while at the same time, no doubt, other questions of great importance have arisen.
 And on the money question, inasmueh as an effort will be made at the next ses sion of congress to retire the greenbacks and turn over to the banks entire control of paper currency, this phrase of the money question is likely to attract more attention for the time being than the silver question.
 None the less they are deceived who think that the silver question hos been finally settled. There is much wisdom In the reply of the Scotch divine to his con- gregation when they wanted him to pray for rain: Yes, when the wind gets in tho right quarter
 ''The wind may not be just now in the right quarter for pressing the silver issue, but it will get there. The rapid and uner pected increase in the production of gold has had, so far as 1t has gone, the same effect that the restoration of silver to coinage would have had had it been re- stored, and there had been no increase in the production of gold; but it does not fol- low from this that 1t is safe to rest the worlds money supply upon the sporadic production of a single year or a single pe- rod
 The democratic party will stand by the Chicago platform. The money plank will be made full and as strong as if there were no other issues. I would be in favor also of making declaration against trusts as if they were the only issue; and the same with our declarati against imper- ialism and the Philippine war.
 Neither question can be said to obscure or take precedence of the other, but all combine to make an issue that I believe the people will support"

TENNEssEE COAL AND IRON

From the New York Times.
 Tennessee Coal and Iron was one of the notably strong stocks in yesterdays mar ket. The advance to 637s was again attri- buted to the operations of a pool of in- siders, who are understood to have made plans for an aggressive bull campaign Tn the stock. The professional contingent con- tlnues bearish on Tennessee Coal, insisting that the stock is selling much too high for a non-dividend payer, especially in view of the fact that there is a heavy accumula- tion of unpaid dividends on the preferred that must be taken care of before the com mon stock can get any benefits of the eompany's increasing business. Because of this bearish feeling the short interest in Tennessee Coal has been extending for some time past, and is now, it is said as- suming unwiedly proportions. Insiders and friends of the property say that the ac- cumulated dividends .on Tennessee Coal preferred can all be taken care of with the proceeds of the sale of the companys s railway lines.
