No Changes in Trade Conditions-Pro- duction May Be Reduced.
 New York, Oct. 30.-Very little re-
 spect was given locally to the report that the Amalgamated Copper inter- Seets are willing to pay $500 share for Ic0ntrol of the Calumet and Hecla. The latter is a type of corporation that
 has gained wealth and prestige by it's irdependent trade course. It is owned
 by few persons, who have said they
 would not part with their stock for less Than 1000 a share. The company can mine copper more cheaply than any of lis competitors. The stock sold at S95 two years ago. Since then the d1vi- dend has been reduced. To-day the suuotation was around 66O. It rose in Boston half dozen points.
 There are no changes in trade condl- lions. With many the belief is strong that the independent companies will agree to a proposition of the Amalga- mated to reduce production. Senator wv A. Clark, who owns large copper mines in Montana, independent of the 4Y.rYst would not discuss his position to-day. He sails tomorrow for Europe,

Paint long since became an article

Paint long since became an article of necessity, as well as beautifying agent in all civilized countries. Indeed it can almost be said that the civiliza- tion of country can be determined by the amount of it's paint consumption per capital. Of course some localities subject paint to a much more severe test than others.
 Most paint when used along, or near the sea shore, will not stand as long as when used inland, the salt air having a very deleterious effect upon It. Unusu- al care therefore should be exercised In the selection of a point that is to be ap- piled at or near the salt water, and if one there be that resists to remark able degree the trying effects of sea coast exposure that one should, as a matter of course, be chosen.
 Such a paint is found in "Breinig's Lithegen Silicate Paint It is espec- tally adapted for marine painting, and will stand where white lead and other paints fail
 It is manufactured by the Bridge port Wood Finishing Co.,, of New Mill ford Conn, and 55 Fulton street, New York city, and Mir John H. Platt, of 90 Orange street, New Haven, is the New Haven aPent,

 News was yesterday received in this city of the death at Westfield, Mass, early yesterday morning, of Charles N. Yeamans, who at the time of the ab-
 sorption of the New Haven and North

 Mir Yeamans' railroad experience be- gan in the construction department of the Northampton road, his father hay ing charge of the construction of the northern part of the road. On his fathers death he succeeded to the po- sition which had been held by the lat ter His careful attention to duty and adaptability for a more responsible po- sition was noted by the late Joseph F.. Sheffield, founder of the Sheffield Sci entifc school and who was then pres ident of the Northampton company. In the successive promotions which came through Mr Sheffields friendship for him MT.

 Mir Yeamans was at one time pos sessed of a considerable competency, but had of late years been much re- duced in means through unfortunate in vestments and speculation.
