COPPER TRADE EASY. The Actual Conditions Not
 UnfaVOrabIe
Belief That no Further Cut in Prices Will Be Made-A Low Visible Supply Prospect of Better Demand.

New York, Oct. 23.-with copper at r cents a pound q comparatively low vis- ible supp!<. q prospect of better de- mand in the near future ana a growing belief that the Amalgamated Copper company will not cut the price of the product, the copper situation was easier today.
 What the Amalgamated company may do in the course of the next few weeks no one, knows absolutely. Sev- enteen cents a pound for copper is not rate at which there can be much cut ting without loss to the sellers and an ultimate demoralization of the industry itself Or that many of the most con servative men in the trade agree
 No change in the price of lake copper was announced this afternoon There is, however considerable uneasiness, and the stock market accentuated this fact. Nor can 1t be denied that appre- hension exists on the part of many as to what the AmalSamated company will do. The trade is watching the stock market, but it is clear to the minds of many that the stock opera tors are not giving close attention to the trade. A speculative stock like the Amalsamated is naturally regarded with some suspicion. and although the holders of most of the stock may be men of stability and eminence. yet there is a feeling in the trade that the stock market may give wrong inter- pretation of the actual condition of affairs.
 No meeting so far of the Amalga- mated Copper company has been called. and from a semi-oficial source it was learned that none is likely to be called in the near future. This fact alone is reassuring. for it is taken to mean that no cut in copper prices will be made at all events for some time to come. It is the view of conservative men that any cut at this time would benefit no one. and that if it is caused by a foolish rivalry between the company and the Heinzes or, in fact, anybody else. it must necessarily injure all
 John R. Stanton. one of the best au- thorities on the domestic copper zitu- alton. said this afternoon:
 T do not see anything to be alarmed abolt- I have no doubt that the Anal- gamated Copper company, if 1t based its policy upon true economic grounds would not reduce its price at all Still, we cannot tell what other policy or mo- tiVes may control Alarming talk in the newspapers does not. of course help the situation. The demand will go on increasing; depend upon it. Why when the world was producing one third the amount of copper it is today from 10000 to 10000 tons were carried ahead, and now, when we are produc- ing three times more, the surplus is not abundant by any means. Of course exports are low at present Germany, one of our best customers, has bought little from us of late, but the demand will spring up again and England, Rus sia and other countries are still steady customers. The trade will certainly not be benefited by putting down prices. Nothing can be gained by it."

STICKY FLY PAPER
To Which Mr. W. T. Smith is Just
 Now Adhering.

That corporation of indefinite consti- tuency known as the London company organized largely for purposes or iiti- gat.on, is like q piece Of sticky fly pa per covered with not only adhesiveness but succession of surprises. Who ever touches it gets stuck Some of the victims get loose. but they have for sometime afterwards an un- pleasant sensation about the feet Any litigation in which the London com pany has been plaintiff or defendant has somehow involved everybody tha; had anything to do with it from the court down to the spectators.
 Mir. ". T. Smith is the latest vic tim. He is on the fly paper with both feet. He can raise one ;tr a time but that very act makes the other adhere more closely.
 Last June the London company in an evil hour for Judge Burnett brought or rather revived an action in his court against W. A. Daggs and others to get possession of q ranch near Mesa. The case occupied several weeks and finally resulted in a judgment for the plain tiff. Mir. Smith had for some years had interest in the property. but he ha.i never asserted it and in consequence had led a happy life. His troubles be- gan when a way for the satisfaction of his claim seemed to be opened to him.
 He acquired the interest of the Lon don company in the judgement or rath- CT he partially acquired it. There was a matter of the costs left an open ques- tion. MT. Smith decided to let the London company pay it's own cost. The London company wished him good luck in the trouble which it had assigned to him at his own request.
 The first obstacle was Justice Bur nett's refusal to issue the writ of restitution which he had ordered for the London company, to MT. Smith be- cause he was not a party to the suit, and because the judgment had not been regularly assigned.
 It was at this point that the justice found himself on the fly paper. He was made defendant in a mandarnus proceeding in district court to compel the issuance of the writ. The judge ment of the district court was that the justices court should go on with the hearing of the case and determine the question of the assignment. That was done. the writ was issued and Justice Burnett got off the fly paper, and. MT. Smith had one foot ra;ged out or

Charles grabbed it and threw it outside, where it exploded Next the robbers compelled the en- gineer to crawl up to the opening in side the car. hoping to use him as d protection from the messengers shots. The messenger kept up a steady fire over the engineers head and stil kept the robbers at bay. The robbers gave up the task of securing the express treasure and went for the mail.

was to the effect that there was some
obstruction in the hallway at the head of

Captain Black detailed officers Payne
ana Taylor to make AIN investigation.
They found that the obstruction was a

influence of liquor.
The obstruction was gotten down safe
ly and taken into the police station and
put in front of the railing at the desk
Of House Sergeant Durney, who put it
through the usual course of examina-
ton.
1t gave the name of William Hartman.
Hartman told Sergeant Durney that he
had served IA years in the navy and only
recently had been on the Indiana. He

and Safety,
Y. M. G. A. DELEGATES VISIT

The Rev. W. l.. 5. Murray pastor of
st. Paul's NJ. L. Church, preached an
eloquent sermon last night on the subject
Young Men to the Front" The sermon
was especially to prepare the way for the
400 young men coming to this city this
week III the interest of the Y. Nj. CA.
The afternoon sessions are to be held in
st. Paul's Church, which privilege has
been cheerfully granted by the trustees
of the church. The Rev. Mr.. Murray
took his text from the first chapter and
seventh verse OF Daniel: Unto whom
the prince of the Eneuchs gave names:
for he gave unto Daniel the name of
Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shad-
rack; and to Mishael, of Meshach: and to
Azariah, Of Abed-Nego."
DIR. Murray said: "These are good,
old Jewish names given to four young
men showing that each had been trained
to believe i'll Jehova. The heather
| names We're given by the prince con-
meeting them with the heather gods.
These four young men were of good
blood, We're trained but now captives in
Il foreign land. 1t is good thing to be
well born; it is better to be born again,
| far better never to be born ut all than
noI W De DOfu again.
The young men coming to this city
during the week represent the best
brain and Drawn of young manhood.
They come in Christ's name. They are
la Christian Association. This city is
preparing to give them royal welcome.
The four young men of the text were
away from home, in this age more than
ever before young men are away from
home. At school, at business, looking
for position OF travelling, and the Y.
Nj. Q. A. is intended to help young man
either ut home or away from home. The
religion of the four young men came in
contact with the customs of the heath
ems but they proposed in their hearts
that they would not defile themselves
with neither meat or wine. The open
door for detlement is before every young
man. The Y. NJ. G. A. opens door OF
protection and safety. 1t was the pur-
pose of these Jewish young men to obey
the laws of their fathers God.
Ii the young men of this age will be
true to God and themselves they will not
be false to another. The four young
men We're good companions for each
other, they prayed and counseled one
another. The way to keep out Of bad
company is to chose good companions.
Results which always follow are to be
noted. First they We're wiser than the
young men of their time. They knew the
truth which is always better than error.
Loving the truth God promoted them,
when assailed he protected them, even
in the frey furnace and den of lions"
