An opportunity Of lifetime to make money in

You often wonder how such immense fortunes
were made in copper. 1t is because the winners
had the ard brains to get into a new cop

kings OF Boston made their money in this way,
and it is the only secret OF their success.

mary receipts this week have been a mil
lion less than the week previous and about
a million less than the same week last
year.
Oats at the close were 1-S@1-4 cent over
Friday. There was a good deal heard
early in the week about damage in Ne
braska. but interest in oats seems to have
been lost in the excitement over corn con-
qtions.
Provisions were dull and moderately
lower with the hog market. Selling of q

ready for such boom. The past weeck
has not been barren of new Developments
OF satisfactory nature that will in time
heip This movement The news of the
wheat crop is distinctly better. I. is seen
that the talk OF the ruin of the crop was
overdrawn, and even positively untrue.
The crop will not be as large as one or
two recent crops probably, but 1t will be
a big one. and il will give abundant wheat
for domestic consumption and an i'm
mense amount for export in addition. The
prices of wheat are certain to be good
and the farmers that depend on this crop
for their welfare will be prosperous and
have money TO spend. The outlook for
corn is superb. the chances favoring a
big crop and good prices. Corn is as yet
somewhat of a gamble, but the best au-
thorities say that the reasonable expecta-
ton is for yield Of Zoo, 900. 900 bushels.
The cotton crop will be a great one. and
prices will be the best for many years.
The returns from the crop will be the
record probably. Thus the farmers every
where are likely to have plenty of money
20 spend, and spend 1t. This will mean
good business generally, unless all signs
fail. and it will ensure big railway earn
ings. The trade reports published yes
terday are more sanguine in tone, sug-
costing a revival of business activity and
foreshadowing price declinees. The stu
alton in China is giving the entire world
grave concern, but conservative Ameri-
can financiers are inclined to look On the
hopeful side of the situation as far as this
country is concerned. 1t can be seer that
this is SO from the continued phenomenal
ease of money. There is some talk of The
possibility of exports of gold to Europe
during the coming week, but as yet inter-
national rates do not suggest that this will
be profitable. 1t is probable that the
alleged coek-sureness OF the Wall Street
politicians that Mckinley will be re-
elected, if 1t really exists, will give place
to q less secure feeling in the near future,
but while this may cause some small de-
clires in the market il will not hurt the
intrinsic situation or prevent the boom
when 1t is due.

The declines in the group may be traced
directly to the fight between the loca
companies and the agencies of outside com
panies; for II IS now becoming evident
that the fight is OF this nature II the
facts are to be stated plainly. The out

without serious rate war and a complet e
disorganization of the Underwriters Board

Choice of new and larger dividends has
been the market matter that has attract
ed most attention during the week. Union
Pacific common, Atchison common, Read
ing first preferred, Norfolk and Western
common, Chesapeake and Ohio, Erie sec
ond preferred, and Baltimore and Ohio
common have all been discussed frequent
ly in this connection ani at times during
the week they have all shown buoyancy on
account of these rumors. The list might
be extended to take in several other less
important securities. In every case men,
toned the earnings of the companies dur
ing the past year have been very large
and the dividends suggested have been
earned and much more. In many cases
more than double the amount of dividend
talked about has been earned. AS far as
the ability of the company to make the
disbursements to stockholders is con-
cerned, there can be no question. As to
their willingness there is much grave
doubt, and rightly in many cases. There
is an interesting suggestion in the street
regarding these disbursements that is
worthy of some attention. Perhaps they
will be made. il they are made, for their
political effect and their effect on the stock
market II will be noticed that nearly all

Conservatism" may dictate that these
dividends be not declared at present, but
held until the proper time nearer the No
vember elections. a bunch of new and
enlarged dividend disbursements at the
proper time would undoubtedly help many
people throughout the country to more
hopeful feeling regarding the existing or
der of things. 1t is well known to fnan-
cial people that such considerations do in

The Locol security Market,

somewhat uninteresting, though prices held
their own well and in some cases adj
vanced fractionally. Capital Traction stock
has been strong, owing TO talk of the in
creasing earnings of the company, it is
supposed. The insurance muddle has not
been improved by the Intervention of the
Middle Department and the local insur-
ance stocks have not been buoyant. Gas
stock has been fairly strong. and Potomac
Telephone has seemed inclined to go off.
Mergenthaler has held its own. There has
been noticeable rather wide divergence
between the bid and the asked prices gen.
orally, characteristic usually OF dull
market and downward tendency.

of the preceding week, which were at 1G3.
AS stated in The Times yesterday the
earnings of the Capital Traction Company
during the past six months have showed
continuous and most encouraging growth
over those of the same period a year ago.
good surplus has been earned over the
per cent dividend rate, though how mut b
this is the street has not yet learned Ore
story is that the company is now earn
ing at the rate of more than per cent On
the capital stock. There has been come In
vestment buying of the stock ard it is
thought not unlikely that the advance will
be carried somewhat further at this time.
The new extensions of the Capital Trac-
tion authorized by the last session of Con-
gress are generally expected 10 add ma
terially to the earnings of the company.
The management is already making sur
veys for these extensions and the contracts
for the work Oh them will be given out IN
a short time. The money for the maxi
ing of the extensions will be raised tenn
porarily on another issue of bonds, which
will be put up security for loan in
stead of being sold, it is understood.
The recent declines in the price of To-
cal insurance stocks have been general,
and perhaps should be considered eIious
when it is remembered that during tie
same time other securities have lost moth
ing in price. The following table gi,es

losses have varied from a small fraction
on the low priced issues to ten points on
