COPPERS HEAVY.
There Was Steady
Selling in Boston
Monday.
STEELS FELL OFF.
The "Scalpers" Are Disap-
pointed in Amalga-
mated.

Wall Street had about a points drop
all around yesterday, and the average
was some six points under the years
best, a month ago. The weakness of
Amalgamated Copper continues pro-
nouneed, and IS bid. 9s asked, was
quoted in the middle of the afternoon.
Sugar and Federal Steel were notable
weak spots, and in Boston the copper
shares were heavy, with steady selling
1t was an active market also, nearly
100000 shares changing hands in Wall
street in the first two hours, with over
81, 900, 900 bonds, and Boston also had a
very busy day.
The Amalgamated Copper subscrip-
ton results. so far as they are re-
hected- in price of the stock, are dis
appointing and gave the final impetus
to liquidation in copper shares in this
market; the ability of the combine tc
hold up prices may be sound, and after
weak holders are out there may be an
other upward ,whirl, but the profits
many of them large, made in anticipa-
ton of the deal look larger at the mo-
ment than those promised as likely q
accrue by holding on.
Those who subscribed for Amalgam-
ated stock in order to scalp" a profit
have been disappointed, but it does not
follow that Amalgamated will not be
put at or above par when the powers
that be desire it. To shake out the
weak and to make it uncomfortable for
the over-sanguine bidders for stock
which they cannot carry seems to be
quite In line with the combines pur-
poses for the time being. Meanwhile
some Of the great paper profits made
in the last few months on the discount
ing Of this combine are garnering and
prices in the market have been shaded
substantially. There has been free
realizing on the announcement of the
combine.
Today Parrot rose Z, to CO, and came
down to Sc IL later selling at 30 ga;
Isle Royale rose 8. to 81, later selling
at IS IL; Arcadian was up 2, at g.
with recession to SO IA; Butte fell
from SO to So; Utah rose 2, to 43 1-2 fell
TO 40 1-2, and rallied 1-2 later; Cen
tennial rose 2, to 80, recedlng to &c. and
Old Dominion was off / IA. to 40 ga
Other copper shares softened fraction
ally and the general market was
heavy, but lacking in special feature
1t was a weak market, take it alto
gether, but not a bad one; there were
signs in the early afternoon that the
selling was nearing its end, and a turn
on the other side seems reasonable tC
expect before long.
The following quotations were made
on the Boston exchange yesterday on
stocks held in Worcester and vicinity.

HIS CRIES SAVED HIM.
Warren Man Was Nearly
Overcome When Res
cued From River.

West Brookfeld, May S.-Aoout 10
o'clock Saturday evening, as Napoleon
Puff, in company with two friends, left
his house to pay visit to his incuba'-
tor, they heard the cry of Help help!
oh, help!" Following the sound, which
was kept up continuously they came
to the iron bridge which spans the river
about one-fourth of mile from where
they started, and there they found d
man in the river entirely submerged.
with the exception Of his face, and still
crying, For Gods sake, help me. ="
Wading into the river, they pulled him
out on to the bank and sent up to the
depot for a stretcher
Selectman Mellen Smith was notified,
also DR.. F. w. Cowles, and both ar
rived upon the scene in a short time.
He was carried to the depot, and, after
slight examination, team was or
dered and he was sent to the lookup.
Here officer Buxton soon built not
fire, and a stricter examination was
made. The man was at this time suffer
ing from the effects of the liquor he
had been drinking and from his long
exposure in the water.
His body and limbs were stiff and
contracted and as cold as ice, and nc
was in an unconscious condition. IN
der direction of the doctor, his clothing
was removed and he was wrapped in
blankets, and the effects of the heat re-
vived him somewhat. He soon went to
sleep and slept until morning.
A bruise upon his shoulder and cut lips
seemed to be the only injuries. This
morning he stated that his name was
Edward Malone and that he lived
in Warren; that he went to Pal
mer yesterday, and he could not recol-
lect anything after leaving Palmer. 1t
is supposed that he took freight train
from Palmer, and, finding that he had
got beyond Warren, he got off near
West Brookfield, and started to walk
back to Warren, and either walked into
the river or fell off the bridge.
Warner Combs of this town is rails
ing the engine house in Brookfield to
accommodate the new engine, which
is expected soon.

NOTHING

For there is no investment better than
wheat around present prices: when we
say better we mean not only better
opportunity to make a profit, but safer
because less likelihood of loss. Remem-
Der that wheat has not had boom, +"
like the railroad stocks, the copper
stocks and the industrials; it is not
"watered" for five times its cost; it is
not a fancy" but staple commodity
that everybody wants and has to have.

CITY FINANCE COMMITTEE
On Two Matters It Was Voted to Give a
Hearing.

Members Of the city council commit.
tee on finance met yesterday Afternoon
and considered several matters that
have been referred to them. On the re.
quest of the overseers Of the poor for
ar appropriation of $4,000 to be used
in constructing a one-story building
connecting the horse and COW stables
and other improvements at the Home
farm, it was voted to grant a hearing
next Friday night.
The order introduced by Councilman
Connolly at the last meeting of the
city council, asking that $4,000 be ap-
prOpriated for the purpose of erecting
public convenience station on the
common, met with the same DISPOSE
ton, the committee voting to ask
Councilman Connolly and William
Hart of the parks commissioners to
be present at a joint meeting of the
committees on finance and streets. next
Friday night.
On the petition for a bandstand at
Stearns square it was voted to rec
ommend ineXpedient to act. An order
will be drafted, however, directing the
superintendent Of public buildings to
provide for the construction of a port
able bandstand which may be moved
about as necessity may require.
On the order calling for the expend-
iture of $4,000 for additional land on
East Worcester street for use of the
sewer department, it was voted to rec
Ommend the adoption of the order in
a new draft. An order viii probably
be prepared authorizing the mayor to
arrange for lease Of the property for
the time being.

THOUGHT CITY UNJUST.
An intoxicated Tax Delinquent Interviews
Officials ln,Cty Hall.

A man who characterized himself as
a citizen and tax payer of the city OF
Worcester called at the mayors office
yesterday afternoon to protest against
the method taken by the city in collec-
ton of taxes. In the absence of the
chief executive, C. H. Benchley the
mayors clerk, volunteered to furnish
such information as he could give.
The individual was considerably in
toxicated, but after a few minutes
managed to control himself sufficiently
to state the object of his mission. He
claimed to have paid his tax regularly
until hard luck pressed him down and
he was unable to procure the necessary
funds. A warrant had been served on
him, and there seemed good prospect of
his being arrested unless he could make
a raise. He had worried over the mat
ter, and this fact accounted for his
condition. He did not think the city's
servant" should be allowed to perse-
cute man.
He finally appealed to Mr.. Benchley
for advice, which was given in sub
stance, that it would be a good idea to
save the money which had been spent
to drown trouble, and to postpone his
visit to the city treasurer until he was
sober. The advice was unheeded, how
ever, and a few minutes later the man
was in the city treasurer's office pro-
testing against the treatment he had
been subjected to.
Inquiry developed the fact that sew
eral notices had been sent to the indi-
vidual in question, to which no atten-
ton had been paid until the warrant
was served. The last seen of the de-
linquent he had started out to tell his
troubles to a policeman, in the endeayor
to enlist an officer in his interest.
