Happy is the writer of books who
can travel in his own yacht. At least
such fortunate individual should be
happy. T. ]. Hams. the author of a
half dozen sea novels and volumes of
short tales, disclaims the possession of
enormous wealth acquired from his
books, and yet he says that his entire
income for the past three or four years
has been entirely from his writings.
Perhaps 1t is because he has been a
practical sailor that he understands
how to so combine business and pleas
ure as to be able to spend his winters
in Florida, mainly in sailing about that
pleasant peninsula. Capt. Hams does
more than sailing, however, for, on
all the cruises he takes his pen is
busy. Last year he sailed down the
coast, leaving New York just before
the tail end of the Galveston storm
whipped every other yacht in sight up
on the beach. He lost a rudder off
Charleston and had an exciting exper-
fence with an escaped convict whom
he shipped a sailor. At the present
time Capt. Hams is finishing up an
other novel. after which he plans to
write number of short stories, which
will be published in the magazines be-
fore being made into a book.
James Creelman has been writing all
his life; it might be said as well that
he has written in almost every coun-
try on the globe. He has long been
known as special correspondent, that
term which such men as Archibald
Forbes, George KEENAN,, Winston
Churchill, G. w. Stevens and Rud-
yard Kipling have been proud to APP
ply to themselves. Like many of these,
Mr.. Creelman believes that the dig
nifty of book covers is worth more than
all the special corresponding in the
world. At any rate, Mr.. Creelman has
announced his intention to give up the
work which has been his so long, and in
the future he will devote his entire
time to writing books. Only few days
ago there was published his "On the
Great Highway" book which, as Ju-
liam Ralph puts it, has all the force of
stirring romance without a line that
is not fact, by man who has long
carried his plume in the van of the
adventurous band of to-day's knight
Grants. One fact is worthy of note
Mr.. Creelman has carried the practice
of the special correspondent into book
covers, for the last chapter of his book
is an account of the assassination and
death Of President Mckinley. The
chapter was read and devised by Mr..
Cortelyou. and it's insertion in a vol
ume published within Zone might say)
a few days of the Presidents death,
makes the book possess at least the
timeliness of a magazine. Mr.. Creel-
man is now hard at work on a long
novel, which will deal with life and
social problems in New York city. II
is to be a very long book, the author
believes in that kind of a story. and
he believes sufficiently in his future in
z the 50elxs ~vorlez. So he says TO give up
$4,000 year as a special correspond
ent for the uncertain rewards of au-
thorship. Herbert Brewster.

AmaIgamated Copper Travelled
Up and Down the Board and
Finally Finished Unchanged
From the Night Before
THE WHOLE LIST
ACTED IN UNISON
UnsettIing in Copper Supplement-
ed to a Degree by a Sharp Re-
Covery in Foreign Exchange
Thursday Pay Day in the Lon
don Exchange

New York, Nov. 26.-Amalgamated
Copper went through an exceedingly
varied course Of movements in today's
stock market and finished unchanged
from last night. The course of this
stock was a pretty accurate index of
the general market throughout. The
days net changes are seen to be very
small as a rule and considerably mixed
although the extreme range of prices
was considerable.
A notable fact in connection. with the
constantly changing course of prices
was the consistency of the movements.
Sometimes the course fluctuated very
distinctly three times within an hour,
traversing each time an average range
of nearly a point. Yet the whole list
moved pretty much in unison, there be-
Ing no apparent conflict in the tendency
of the prominent active stocks.
The opening dealings reflected dis
tinct effort at full demonstration for
an advance, the Trunk Line stocks be-
ing selected for leadership. Amalga-
mated Copper was also supported in
the opening dealings, but the weakness
which quickly developed in this stock
was reflected in the whole market and
so with it's subsequent changes. The
stock fell by successive changes and
very uncertainty to IS and recovered
with frequent reactions to 500, end
ing at so. There was an entire lack of
news to account for the movements.
The early weakness was in face Of
permission from a court to the Boston
& Montana to pay the dividend on that
stock under bond. The withholding
of these dividends was officially Of
fered as a cause for the reducing of the
dividend on Amalgamated. The re-
covery in the stock was in spite of the
sharp break in the price of raw copper
in London, following some recent spec
ulative buying in that market.
striking feature of the check to the
recent advancing tendency of the mar
ket was the decided decrease in activ-
fly. Today's transactions were about
half a million shares less than those Of
yesterday. The unsettling in Amalga-
mated Copper was supplemented to a
degree by a sharp recovery in foreign
exchange which awakened some re-
newed questioning over the resources
OF the money market for the re-
mainder of the year.
Thursday Of this week is pay day in
the London Stock Exchange settlement.
On Dec. the final installment is due
on the British loan subscription. Dur

ALLEN-HIGGANS COMPANY
IS IN NO COMBINE

Some of the New York newspapers
yesterday contained a story to the eff
feet that the wall paper manufacturers
of the United States were to form a
combination in order to foster the in
terests of the business and the Allen
Higgins Company of this city is men
toned as one Of the companies that is
going into the combine. The statement
regarding the Allen Higgins Company
is without foundation, so far as the Off
sials know. They had meeting yes
terday afternoon when the story was
brought to their attention, and issued
the following statement as their posi-
ton in the matter:-
TT is true that there is a fearful
competition among the manufacturers
of low grade wall papers and they ap-
pear to be fighting out their own sal
walton, each one as best he can.
THE manufacturers of high grade
papers, however, are fewer in number
and are not experiencing unusual COM
petition; in fact our trade is very sat
isfactory indeed, and the average quail
ity of goods which we are selling is I'M
usually high, and is the best which it
has ever been since the establishment
of the Allen Higgins Company.
There has been some talk about
combining certain forces of the wall
paper manufacturers 1OI lIlG SANE VI
better prices to manufacturers, jobbers
and retailers alike.
"As yet we are not in possession of
sufficient data to make it prudent for
us to give out any statement in refer
ence to what is proposed or our atti-
tude toward such a proposition, under
any circumstances.
"Our factory is being rapidly
equipped to make it possible for us, by
another year, to make an entire line of
all grades of wall papers which the av-
erage jobbing or retail house would
carry in stock.
80 far we have no particular ankle
ty about the outcome of any movement
which may now be on foot and we will
be in a position to carry on all branch
e.s of our business without the assist
ance Of outside manufacturers In this
way we will be able to handle any
trade which might come to us, regard
less of the assistance of any combina-
ton of wall paper manufacturers"
