THE STOCK MARkE1
A Late General Improvement

New York, Sept. 27.-Professional op-
 orators in stocks had the market pretty much to themselves to-day, but they 1 found various matters of encourage
 ment. The Encouragement of the bears
 with all the bad news in sight disposed
 of, was correspondingly great and their
 buying to cover their shorts was an
 important influence. The uncertain
 fluctuations of copper stocks in the
 early dealings kept the market unset
 tied. But the pressure of liquidation
 in them as well as elsewhere in the
 market was materially frightened, and they shared in the late general im- provement of the market. A sharp ral- | ly in price of spot copper in London had an important bearing on the status of these stocks and also on the copper
 trade outlook. It was reported that the Amalgamated Copper company was supporting the spot copper market in London. Whatever the cause of the rally, yesterdays contention that cop per could be imported at profit was disposed of Amalgamated Copper stock sold dividend and more than recov- cred it, but closed with a net gain of only 1M
 The recent notable buying of the Vanderbilts was resumed, the convic- tion growing that an early plan of merger would be announced. New York Central rose 3h and the junior Vanderbilt group from 1 to 51a. A large af ir,co cr,io ctN 1rc made active at advances all the way from 1 to 7k. Among them were the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste Marie stocks, the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic stocks, the Keokuk and Des Moines stocks, Des Moincs and Fort Dodge, the Iowa Central stocks, Evansville and Terre Haute, Minneap- oils and St. Louis, the Toledo, St. Louis and Western stocks and Kanawha and Michigan.
 The coalers and trunk lines responded early to the influence of the Vanderbilt movement and the leading specialties, including the various steel stocks and ! coal fractions, showed evidence of | strength. But it was not until late in | the day that the recent leaders of the market among the grangers, Pacifics L and Southwesterns moced strongly up- wards. The level of prices on the day shows an average advance of nearly a point. The promise of favorable bank statement helped the late strength of | the market i,

Victim of Jokers Is Dead.

The death of Moses Peterson, a we'll
known resident of Marinette, is said to
have been caused indirectly by a practical
joke. While he was in lumber camp
near Marquette, Mich, about six months
ago, Peterson's companions playfully
strung him up to a tree. He feared an
actual hanging, and, although he was not
injured, the shock was too much for him.
His mind became deranged, and rup-
ture Of blood vessel in the head caused
mis- death. The men who perpetrated the
joke were arrested, but afterward were
discharged

Freaks and oranks.

Freak is a word that is used In ths
vocabulary Of the social yernacular OF
our day with quite a different signif-
canoe from the sense given In the die
tionaries. We find IN the latter that
the meaning Of the word freak Is given
as "a fantastic notion.-a humor-a
within" 1t is used nowadays in fash
ionable argOt to denote a person who
is not of 1.-THE crowd" How was the
dance last night?" you will hear one So
ciety girl ask of another- 1T would not
have been half bad if Mrs X had not
filed up her rooms with SO mary
freaks" might be the answer, both girls
understanding that the expression
simply meant people who were not OF
their set, says a writer IA the New York
Tribune.
Crank is another designation that
is frequently used to describe some In
dividual who presumes to have SOM
individuality. 80 and so Is a perfect
crank" you will hear said OF a eenei-
bic young woman who has tastes which
she prefers to cultivate rather than fol
low the routine Of society. You know
the 2. 3 are all cranks." Will be the
sweeping classification of a clever FAM
lily whose members are Sin" society but
not altogether of il. by reason OF
their liking for things outside Of the
beaten tracks of conventionality.
So it viii be seen that one may be
either freak or crank in the estima-
ton Of certain people, and yet be q very
intelligent. attractive man or woman.
