The laugh Is on Boston police officer
who is visiting relatives IN suburban
community. Thursday the copper
planned for trip 70 the Cape, and was
accompanied by young lady cousin OF
his. AT the particular point where they
were viewing the beauty OF the ocean
waves, the police officer discovered a
massive rock, probably fifteen feet IN
height. The "COPPER" announced his
intention TO climb to the top of the rock,
and In q few seconds his Intention was
executed, ana he was perehed on the top
of the rock. His next thought was as to
how he should make the descent, without
making 1t too rapidly, and possibly land
ing in the water. He lowered himself
short distance, but did not feel safe, so
hauled himself back to the peak Of the
rock. His next move was to attempt the
descent IN his stocking feet, so that he
could get better hold on the rock with
his feet. This plan worked better, but
before he could land on terra nrma he
required the assistance of the above
mentioned cousin, which was gladly
given and the "copper" was once again
on the ground and content to remain
there.

New Engagements Delayed Unttl After
Ballots Are Counted.

New York, October Ger. G.. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review OF trade tomorrow
will say:
The elections mean q great deal to all
business interests and, although conf
denoe IN tho future is seen on every hand,
1t is but natural that men do not care TO
take unnecessary chances and, therefore,
delay new engagements aa far as poselblP
until after the ballots are counted. Buo
contracts for steel rails for the season thus
far, are within 5000 tons OF last year
heavy bookings and the confidence ia an
ultimate marked Improvement Is 80
strone that all raw materials are firm ana
without any speculative activity TO soims
ulate them Conditions IN the iron and
steel market steadily improve; orders
gradually swell ia volume and buyers
make less effort 80 secure concessions. In
most cases quotations are not altered but
there is an advance to so at Philadelphia
for biilets, owing TO the better business
ia rails. Bridge builders are buying
structural forms heavily.
Cotton showed little reouperative power
after last weeks decline ana closed lower.
Even Mr.. Eiiison's estimate that the
world would require 10, $50, 600 bales Of
American cotton this year, failed to make
much impression. The loss in price Is
81 SO a bale since October 9 and exporters
are still holding on. Wheat also contin-
ued It's downward course owing to good
news here and abroad, but an encourag-
ing feature was the accelerated foreign
buying as quotations declined. Corn IS
slightly weaker, while pork products have
fallen sharply. Most other provisions are
heavy but linseed oil rose sharply to z
cents.
Hides were very active with the aver
age price at Chicago for ten grades 1913
cents higher than at any time since last
may. Leather also reached higher level
on good buying. The better tone Of the
boot and shoe market was sufficient ex-
PLANTATION of the advance IN materials.
New England shops are buster than for
many months before. But thus far man.
ulactured goods have not advanced with
materials. Sales Of wool at the three
chief eastern markets continue TO In

week Prices are altered and bids slight
~ below the market are refused. Cotton
goods move rather more freely as the
price comes nearer parity with raw ma
terial but wide sheetings are dull at the
advance to - cents
Railroad earnings have taken another
slight turn Tor the better, gaining 5 8
per cent over 1879 and loo per cent over
1898 for October thus far. Failures for
the week were 300 IN the United States
against l9 last year and % IN Canada
