THE CORPORATION COMMISSION.
Some Much Needed Changes Made in
It's Court Room.

A great transformation has been
wrought in the office of the Corporation
Commission, and those who attend the
meeting next Tuesday will hardly >recoe-
nize it.
Sometime ago the office Of the clerk,
Mr.. Ii. C. Brown, was doubled in size
and fitted up in elegant style. Now the
same has been done to the court room
of the Commission. The room has been
made twice as large as formerly and
new carpets have been put down and
new furniture installed.
On the western side of the court room
a raised platform has been erected with
three seats for the commissioners. an
arrangement similar to that for the jus
tices in the Supreme court rom. The
hall is we'll lighted and supplied with
chairs and tables. Because of these
the future sessions of the
commissioner will be held i'll much great
CT comfort than heretofore.

IN THE COPPERS.

Indications are strong that the public
will have unusual opportunities in the
public subscription invited to Amalga-
mated, and that the copper company
for this first amount, will have two
features that may not be possessed in
the later amalgamations. Anaconda
and Parrot, which have been purchased
will be turned into the Amalagamated
Co, at lower than present market
prices, If not at actual cost to buyers.
Again this is the possibility of sub
scription rights attaching which may
be justified by the lower market for
copper which will prevail next year or
the year after.

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, May 1.-The market tic
day suffered severely from general Hq-

Supporting orders by parties largely
identified with various properties and
covering by the shorts steadied th4
market for a While.
A renewal of large offerings brought
prices down in a semi
fashion, and the closing was al the
lowest for practically all stock. Stop
loss orders were met in a variety Of
stocks and the pressure continued to
the end. The pronounced strength in
sterling exchange aroused an expccta-

probability of this, was divided. there
