Stocks, Bonds and Miscellaneous
Securities bought and sold,
The action of the market for
Copper stocks during the past
week has clearly demonstrated
that great pressure is required to
keep the Copper stocks from ad-
VaDcing, and the moment this
pressure is removed, we believe
there will be a large advance in
the entire list, especially in Am
algamated, Parrot, Old Dominion
and Utah,
We belive now II ever is the
time to buy Copper stocks es-
peoially on any decline
We are prepared to execute
buying or selling orders in any
listed stock.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 1.-THE bulls got

wheat situation proper for them to work

night for the corn belt scared the corn
shorts badly, and there was a rush for

NEW. YORK. Sept. 1.-THE occasional
strength of today's stock market was
not very convincing band as the day
progressed proved less and less so. The
market closed distinctly weak, with
practically all of the early gains com
pletely wiped out and. the average, level

was perhaps a natural reaction from the
violent rebound. of prices yesterday The
artificial stimulants which were applied
TO the market. yesterday to maintain it
against the expected pressure were
Withdrawn to a considerable extent to-

they We're not needed. Supporting Or

there was considerable manipulation
also for the rise. THIS was particularly
which followed the opening dealings The
recovery had the effect, which was prob
ably designed, of checking the disposition

number of special stocks Were selected
then for demonstrative upward move
ment. The sustaining influence on the
general list which was expressed by these
tactics was taken advantage of to real
lie by the large financial interests which
bought to sustain the market yesterday
and in the slump of Friday. The large
reduction in the short interest which was
caused by the buying to cover, forced by

te1day's advance had served it's purpose

been lacking regarding the effects of the
untimely cutting off of the chief magis-
trate, the condition of the money market
and other considerations tending to re-
press speculation to the normal point at
this period Of the year reaSserted them
selves. The money market continued
easy, as reflected in the lower rates for
call loans and the influence of the dis
bursements by thei Su btreasury but the
relief in this quarter had the natural
effect of steadying THE exchange market,
and the expectations that announcements
would be made toda5aSof Engagements of

West Superior, Wis, Sept. 5.-Fire this
morning caused in the neighborhood Of
900 damage to the dock Of the Lebigh
Coal and Coke company on st. Louis bay
The flames started about IL o'clock and
after raging all the morning and this
afternoon were not out and, it was not
thought they would be finally subdued un
til tonight
The origin of the blaze is not known
but it is claimed the fire might have
caught from a box car that was standing
on the track. The department had diff
Guilty in getting to the center of the fire
owing to the great distance out on the
dock, and there was some delay in the
arrival of the fire tugs, so that it was
hard to fight the flames which increased
with great TaDidity.
The dock was built up with pockets on
each side of railroad track and in the
neighborhood of 500 feet of these pockets
on both sides were burned and are a to-
tai loss. The loading apparatus and box
cars were burned also. There were in the
neighborhood of 200, 900 tons of soft coal
on the dock and fire caught in the out
side of all of the piles of this coal With
all this coal burning at once, it was diff
cult to do anything on account Of the
great territory over which the fire spread
Nine streams were kept on the flames.
The damage to the coal cannot be esti-
mated and the total estimate on the loss is
as yet only rough one. The dock and
coal were insured.

Der yard took fire and a southeast wind
carried the flames over the city. The fire,
however, in the yard was extinguished
without much loss although it is still
constantly threatened. The whole city is
in the path of the fire and is in the great
est danger of being totally destroyed.
The local fire department is working
like demons, but can do very little toward
checking the flames. Outside help is
nearly here. Eight blocks in the north
western portion of the town are now
burning. The city hal caught fire, but the
flames were soon extinguished.
