From Chan. Forney, who passed
through here Monday, on his way to
Rawlins, we learned that Riverside is
booming. A new addition consisting
of forty acres has been laid out adj
joining the town. Mr.. Forney says
business of every kind is good and
money plenty and that his town gets
the benefit of the smelter, as all the
employees of that institution, team
sters and all, board at Riverside.

Constable j. j. Wirth, of Encamp-
ment precinct, brought a man by the
name of William j. McLees down
from Encampment last Saturday
evening, before Court Commissioner,
j. F. Crawford, to have an enquiry
made as to the mans sanity. A jury,
consisting of Milford Haines, II. p.
Mcmahon, n. I. Rankin, Robert
Dyer, James Blackhall and S. E. Nc
Annuity, were empanneled and, after
hearing the evidence in the case, rend-
cred a verdict that the man was ment-
ally unsound and recommended that
he be sen to the insane asylum at
Evanston. This verdict was suppli-
mented by a medical examination by
DIR. Smither, who rendered a report
of alchoholic dementia. The man was
taken to Rawlins, by Deputy Sheriff
George W. Sisson, and turned over to
the Sheriff at that place for the Asy-
lum authorities to call for.
The man has been a hanger-on of
the saloons here and at Encampment
for the past two years and has, ac-
cording to all accounts, always been
more or less "off," but seems to have
grown worse of late, while at En-
campment. The man had fallen into
a hole at Encampment and injured
his right ankle and had to be carried
from place to place. DIR. Smither
gave it as his opinion that the man
would gradually grow worse instead
of better and that it was very evident
that he would oon be entirely incap-
able, both mentally and physically, to
care for himself.

DENIES COPPER RuMoRs.
Statement That Calumet and Heela
Will Not Paw Rebates.

Boston, Dec. 27.-While no formal
statement has been issued by the Calu-
met and Hecla relative to the rumor
that the company will not sell copper at
the present prices, man closely identi-
fled with 1t puts an end to the recent
gossip about that and other companies
being probable heavy losers by reason Of
being compelled to pay rebates on fu-
ture-delivery contracts. He said today:
There is a widespread misapprehen-
sion regarding this matter Of rebates.
The story that the Calumet and Hecla
company will have to make large pay
ments on future deliveries by way Of re-
bate on guaranteed contrT Its Is abso-
lutely false. The Calumet and Hecla
company has given no guarantees. and
never does give any. excepting on its
own market price.
why should the Calumet company
agree to meet any market price that q
competitor may see fit to make? As
we'll might the United Metals Smelling
company make price OF or cents
as 10 cents, call that the market price
for copper, and then have our CUSTOM
ers expect us to make rebates on that
basis. Such reasoning is the sheerest
nonsense. We allow rebates only when
we sell to one customer at less figure
than to another. as market conditions
demand, and then only an amount
that is equivalent to the difference IN
the prices"

the stock was going under par. Yester-
day the price of the stock opened aus
piciously for the bears, for, after start
ing at 102A the price slid down with
scarcely any hesitation to 1885. 1t
seemed to have struck some sort of
snag there tho, for 1t began to rally. The
bears kept on bravely selling. for they
argued that the buying demand was
probably but a little covering of con-
tracts by other shorts, who We're going
to miss the real pie and only get the
crust. But the stock. tho it dropped in
price a little every now and then, kept
steadily tending upward. The bears
kept selling, but some one else kept on
buying. Thousands upon thousands of
shares were dealt In and the bears were
plainly getting nervous. The price had
got above los. Then 1t got above 1O9.
and then there was a rush of the bears
to cover. In the final hour they tunlbled
over each other to get stock. The price
ran up in a few minutes from 1OSA to
112ls, fell to 111ia, and then jumped to
1877, closing at 112A, net advance of
ca points for the day. The sales were
195,s00 shares
While the price of the stock was
jumping slsyward there We're lot or
reports that did not help to improve the
feelings of the bears. 1t was said that
things had cleared up In the sugar
trade" that the war was over" and
that an important conference had been
held OF leading sugar refining interests
at which "a truce had been declared
Down in the sugar district, when these
reports were investigated, there did
seem to be an improvement in senti-
ment. 1t was learned that James II.
Post, president of the National Sugar
Refining Company, had had a talk with
Henry o. Havemeyer. president of the
American Sugar Refining Company.
This was the basis for the Wall street
report that there had been conference
at which it had been decided that all
special discounts should be Withdrawn,
and that there should be no further
cuts in prices. Mr.. Post declined to dis
cuss the report that an understa nding
had been reached with Mr.. Havemeyer.
All he would say was:
Nothing has been arrived at as yet"
He was willing, however, to talk about
the sugar situation in general, and
said:
The situation is very bad in the
sugar trade and is practically I'M
changed. The demand is increasing
slightly, and no doubt as soon as the
grocers again buy freely, prices Of re-
fined will be but to their normal ievel.
How soon this will be, Ican't say. 1t
may be a few days. It may be a few
weeks, but think the situation will
warrant it very shortly"
Wall street. after the close OF the
market and on comparison of notes.
somehow came to the conclusion that
James r. Keene had had something to
do with the run-in OF the sugar shorts.

N QEARY BANk|NGLAN
Minnesota Congressman Re.
quests Views OF Representa-
tive Men in Every State.
He May Introduce a Bill in Con.
sress to Amend Banking
Law.
contemplates Loan of Funds on
Real Estate collateral..0ues-
tons Asked.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Representative
McCleary, of Minnesota, has addressed
the following letter to some $500 repre-
sentative men in each state and terri
tory:
TT has been suggested to me by sew
eral gentlemen interested in national
banks and DESTROYS of rendering them
as useful as possible to the communities
be well to amend the national bank act
so as to permit national banks in small
er places where the clientele of the bank
is largely rural, to loan a portion of
their resources on real estate security.
If the proposition seems wise to those
who have practical knowledge of such
matters, 1 may introduce bill after the
holidays providing for an amendment.
With that in view desire the benefit of
your judgment in the matter and l VIII
appreciate an early answer to the fol-
lowing questions:
81. Do you believe that such an
amendment would be in the public IN
terest?
90. If your answer be affirmative.
where would you draw the line between
those national banks that may and
those that may not make such loans!
Would you make capitalization OF the
bank or the population of the town
where the bank is located the basis OF
such classification?
SO. Just what percentage and OF what
would you specify in the amendment?
That is, would you grant the permission
az to a certain percentage of the capital
of the bank, or as to a certain percent
age OF its loanable funds? Suggestions
running from rs to 40 per cent OF the
capital Of the bank have been made)
az. Would you limit the operation OF
the amendment to farm loans or would
YOU include town property?
20. Would you permit loans under
amendment on first mortgages only. or
would you permit such loans as meet
the approval OF the board of directors?
&c. Would you require that all loans
under the amendment should have the
approval Of the directors before being
made?
~. Have you any other suggestions as
to the proposition of an amendment II 1t
should be made?
"s. Are you willing TO have me quote
you on the above points in any remarks
that may make on the subject?"

hold Now Are EXCEPTIONAL.
Cotton Industry.

washington, Dec 27.-The state de-
tracts from the first annual report OF
United States Consul Norton at Har-
put, Turkey. Mr.. Norton had difficulty
in securing his exequatur from Turkey,
that government declining at first to
grant the necessary authorization on
the ground that there was no commerce
at Harput to warrant it. He says that
the two vitayets of Mamouret- Ul-Aziz
and Diarbekir compose the consular
district and curing 1900 the trade aggre-
gated something over s4000,000, evenly
divided between exports and imports.
There is much to favor the growth of
commentaries between Asiatic Turkey
and the United States, says Mr.. Nor
ton. The American educational effort
at Harput has had widespread infiu-
ence. Contact for nearly half century
with American teachers, American
methods and American family lfe has
led to high admiration for all that
bears the stamp OF American make, and
to a deep seated confidence in Ameri-
can integrity and business principles.
The region thus is in a particularly re-
ceptive mood for American commercial
enterprises.
The establishment of the consulate in
January last, 1t is stated. was followed
by prompt efforts to open direct trade
relations with the United States. Tur-
kish farmers, he says, await with Gag
erness to see the workings OF reapers
which have been ordered from America,
one OF which is expected to perform in
a day what eighty men would accom-
plish with existing facilities. Within
fifteen months no less than 1872 Ameri-
can sewing machines have been dispos-
ed of in Mr. Norton's district and have
driven from the market completely the
English and German machinery hith-
erto in vogue. In even less time seven
ty American life insurance policies have
been issued, with prospects of many
more. As to bicycles, the consul says
that the one used by him personally
was the pioneer in the Harput district,
and that "as result Of the appearance
of his wheel in and about the cities Of
Mezreh and Harput a demand has
sprung up for bicycles"
"Live American traders" Mr. Nor
ton says in conclusion, have an ex-
ceptional opportunity now to establish
themselves in this region and gain such
foothold that serious competition in
the future will become q matter Of ex-
treme difficulty."

THE EAsT's VIEW OF SHAW.
Not Well Known There, But He Conn
mands Confidence.

4
New York. Dec. 27.-Charles s. Fair
child, who was secretary of the treas
ury under Cleveland. was asked wheth-
err he could speak of Mr.. Shaw's quail
fications for the Office We'll, said he
II heard Mr.. Shaw speak at the none
tary conference, and he made an excel
lent impression upon those present, at
least that was the effect upon ME. He
spoke directly and fuently upon the
currency question, and appeared to
have implicit faith in the intelligence OF
the people; there was no mistaking
where he stood or his ability to demon
strate clearly and forcibly what he
wanted to convey"
His fitness. then, for the position Is
unquestioned?"
yes, think so. You see the Office
requires no technical knowledge. what
is wanted is common sense; that's all.
i went into the Office without special
training, and you know managed to
leave the Office without getting into
prison"
j. Edward Simmons, president OF the
Fourth National bank, said: II know
something OF Governor Shaw. but not
bankers may or may not expect Of him.
He is known, however. as man in ia
vor of sound money. So far so good.
The bushes conditions OF this nation
are such that the president would nat
urally try to secure man whose faith
In the gold standard Is unalterable.
Upon that standard the country stands,
and there is good reason to believe that
the president will do his best to main
tain 1t"
Valentine p. Snyder, president Of the
Western National bank, said: Our
correspondents in the west, some of
whom are visiting New York. have per-
sonaMy and by letter stated that the Sc
lection OF Governor Shaw for secretary
OF the treasury is a good one. He is
eminentfy sound upon the currency
question and will add confidence to the
business Interests of the country"
The Evening Post, the financial au-
thority Of Wall street, prints a remark
able editorial tribute to Governor Shaw
as the prospective secretary of the
treasury. The selection Of man from
the west as the successor to Mr.. Gage
is commended but the picking of Iowa's
governor for this most important posi-
ton is especially praised. His ability
successfully to fill the Office is held to
be beyond dispute, and in proof thereof
his record as the executive of the
Hawkeye state is cited The selection
Of a western man with such record, 1t
is pointed out, is sufficient In itself to
remove his administrator from any
suspicion OF domination by Wall street
influences.
