Closer Union.-Among the days
stories was n to the effect that still
closer reations were to be established
between the Union Pacific and the
Northwest, with its proprietary Omaha
line and another that some alliance
might be made with the st. Paul as an
Offset to the probable Burlington deal.
Amalgamated Copper was another
striking feature of the day, rising near
ly 4 points, and holding most OF the
gain. with big dealing. The rumored
copper combination vas the basis for
the early rise. Consolidated Gas and
Sugar both rose about as much as
Amalgamated Copper. and were conf
paratively we'll sustained. There was
nothing new in Consolidated Gas and
old reports served to lift the stock
again. Sugar, however, which was I'M

Of a large lot.
Customers Charged More.-While
many firms continue to carry stocks
for their customers at about 4 per cent,
as heretofore, many brokers have rais-
ed the rate to s per cent, in keeping
with the occasional marking up OF call
money to s o II Z. This disturbed many
traders, who feared that they might be
called on to pay still more, and much
of the liquidation in stocks has come
from these people. Many leading COM
mission houses supply themselves with
time money at 4 to Az per cent. and
they give their customers the beneIal
of this advantage.
Sugar.-in connection with the heavy
buying of Sugar, at IN advance of sew
eral points. it was said that a strong
pool has been formed at the instance
OF Mr.. Havemeyer, who is expected to
return soon. and the Standard OIL in
terests, who at times have been CON

for dividend talk. and the opposite of

Railroad bonds irregular.
Io-days stock market vas a rather
tame affair. as compared with the ex-
cited dealings for some time past, but
an imposing aggregate OF business was
nevertheless transacted and there were
considerable fluctuations in prices. The
market was extremely irregular all
oay, recovering sharply from the open
ing depression, but yielding again be-
fore the close, which was heavy in
tone and decidedly below the best, but
with considerable net gains remaining
for many important stocks. Operations
were OF a highly m%anipuiative charac-
ter, and seemed TO have for their OBJ
jet TO discourage the selling of stocks.
No very aggressive efforts were appar-
ent to attract renewed buying demand.
Fluctuations wre by no means so vio-
lent or so feverssh as has been the
rule of late. There wire some wide ad-
yanceS among high priced investment
stocks a nd some unusually active

mary decline, rose 4 points, st. Paul

Death OF GAMBLING
BILL PLEASES BUTTE,
WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS THE ACTION OF THE SENATE is EN-
D0RSED BY THE PEOPLE OF THIS CITY.

The solar plexus blow delivered in the
senate at Helena today to the Tierney
gambling bill was the subject OF con-
siderable conversation around Butte
this afternoon. While few of the
people of Butte have placed themselves
on record in favor of licensed gambling,
the fact remains that the great major
ity of the people of the city are opposed
to gambling in any form. In the dis
cussiOn of the matter this afternoon the
conclusions drawn were the same, viz:
that the city Of Butte or the state of
Montana could not afford either as a
moral or financial proposition to endorse
licensed gambling.
II am a member of the Business Mems
association" said a prominent citizen
this afternoon, but I am and have been
unequivocally opposed to the passage of
the Tierney bill. Gambling is a species
of highway robbery and no law can give
1t responsibility. A license would not
lessen the evil but would render the
state a partner in the crime."
ut is one of the greatest things that
has been done by Montana legisla-
ture,' said e. N. Wood, manager of the
Hennessy Mercantile company. Lii
Censed gambling might benefi. few
business men but the moral effects of
such law would work to the detrment
of the state"
