TRADING WAS SLIM
 IN COTTON MARKET There Was a Brisk General Buying for Both Accounts NEW ORLEANS WAS FIRM There Was Fairly Good Demand for Desirable Grades of Cotton In All
 Markets-splnners and Ex-
 porters Competing.

New York July 29-The cotton market opened steady with all months but July up to points. Following the call there was a period of nervousness with reac- tionary movements under profit-taking, but at the noon hourd the market ha turned steady with local operators ar- rayed on the bull side. Trading all day was slim and almost entirely professional. Whereas the early Liverpool cables were distinct disappointment the late advices reported full recovery and a subst; tial net gain on brisk general buying for both accounts. Buying orders were sent to representatives here, but this class of business was too small to cut much figure either way. Marked flrmness in the New Orleans market, dry weather reports from the southwest. forecast for continued drouth in Texas and small receipts ali helped to hold the local market steady and to check selling for either account. There was a fairly good demand for desirable grades of spot cotton in all markets, with spinners and exporters competing for sup plies. Near the close room operators be- came discontented by the poor public in terest displayed and In selling out sent prices off to below the opening figure. The close was barely steady with prices net 1e points lower to 3 points higher.

''COPPERS" As AN INVESTMENT.

In buying "Coppers'' for speculation or
investment. intending purchasers should,
if possible eonfne their purchases to the
stocks Of established producing mines,
for while such stocks are greer from the
risk Of loss than any otIfe= class of stocks
there is no greater Xxx than that which
attends the purchase Of the stocks of new
copper mines.
No investment in a gold or silver min
ing stock the stock of land company. or
an industrial based upon patents IS at
tended with so great a risk as an invest
ment in the stock of new copper mine
A. least 499 in each 500 Of the new copper
mines whose stocks are offered for sale
publicly are worthless, large proportion
OF them being swindles of a most fragrant
character, organized and conducted for the
sole purpose Of selling stock.
The reason for this is seIf-eyldent; to
n1ire copper and legitimately conduct
copper mining business at the present time
calls for the investment Of a very large
amount Of cash capital No new copper
mining company can begin business, under
the necessary modern methods. without
the expenditure OF at least 81 coo 600 TO
81 coo 600 cash before any dividends can
be earned, making It the most uninviting
field for small capitalists who intend to
conduct the business Iegitimately. and the
most inviting field for schemers whose
only purpose is TO sell stocks on promises
which can never be redeemed
As an illustration Of the difficulty Of
securing new copper mining properties:
During the past few years il has been
necessary for NE 10 closely follow all al
legged discoveries Of copper mining prop
erties in the United States. Canada. and

THE FUTURE OF "COPPERS, +"

Intending purchasers of "Coppere" for
investment or for speculation should first
find correct answer to these questions.
IL VIII the earnings of "Coppers." at
the present price of the metal. allow Of
larger net returns than can be secured
from any other class of stocks?
% Can the permanency OF production
of copper mines be as surely ascertained
as the future earning capacity of corpora
tions which are the basis of other stocks.
and,
81 VIII the present price of copper. the
metal be maintained? The answer TO
these three questions will enable one to
decide whether "Coppers'' are a purchase
at present prices A cursory investiga-
ton OF ''Coppers" viii prove that no other
class of business Will give as large net
earnings as are at the present time de-
rived from 'Coppers' at the ruling price
of the metal
careful investigation or the present
method Of conducting the copper mining
business Will prove that in no other in
dustry can the future earnings be as
surely ascertained for so long time in
the future as "Coppers."
The reason for this IS that all good pro-
ducing copper mining companies first, that

which they afterwards are to produce, -
and each year thereafter add 70 this re-
serve an amount of ore equal to from 80
to 100 per cent of their yearly production;

the verS large dividends they do pay. set
aside each year in the form OF blocked
out ore, 50 TO 100 per cent additional diyi-
dends.
So consistently has this been practieed
that mines like the Boston and Montana

and that II VIII be maintained through the

cost of production is from to cents,

world is so rapidly and steadily increas sing

COPPERS IN THE PAST.

-Four years ago I publicly called atten-
ton 70 "Coppers the fact that al
though they had been actively dealt in on
the Boston Stock Exchange for over fifty
years, and had been and were still the
basis Of large portion Of New England's
wealth. their merits as frst-clRss and
semi-speculative investments we're almost
unknown 10 investors and spectators in
this country and Europe; 70 the fact that
investigation would prove that an invest
ment in the stock OF any Of the coed pro-
ducing -Coppers'' would give much larger
yearly net returns, with a surer guaran-
tee OF permanenCy for a longer period Of
time, than a like investment IN any other
class OF stocks, and I stated my belief
that so soon as these facts became known
to investors and spectators throughout
this country and Europe, there would be-
gin scramble" for -'Coppers' unparaI-
leled in the history Of the stock market
with the result that the price Of such
stocks then for sale in the open market
would multiply. that this increased value
would hold and be further increased for
years 70 come.
AT this time and in all my subsequent
statements, the following were named as
come OF the leading -Coppers" which
would multiply in price: Butte & Boston,
then selling at 81 10 S14; Boston & Mon
tana, then selling a $50 10 SO. and Caiu-
net & Hecla, then selling at 1925 So
radical did these views seem that they
were adversely criticised by those in
terested IN financial matters. and more
particularly by professional financial
critics. bat ii Is now known and admitted
that my preC' ctions erred on the con-
servative side only, for the present prices
of the "Coppers" then called to the at
tention of the public show an increase in
value OF hundreds Of millions Of dollars.
or more than has ever accrued to auy
other class Of stocks in q like period.
The prices Of the three named. Butte.
Montana. and Calumet. alone show an in
crease in value OF SIS, G0G 900.
Il IS low known that never in the his
tory OF stocks has there been a parallel
TO the scramble" for ''Coppers'' which
carried the price OF Butte from 81 10 Sos
per share, Montana from $50 10 $500. and
Calumet from S225 to $500, and others in
Ike proportion. or another instance
where such & tremendous increase In
price held and became permanent The
fact that the public were so quickly edu-
Gated, that such a great increase in
values came IN such a short time. and
that this increase has held and is still ad-
FaDcinE. and that seven cut Of every ten
persons interested IN financial matters In
this country and Europe are now familiar
with the merits Of "Coppers," when four
years ago not one in one thousand had
even an intelligent idea of their worth,
in my opinion proves the following state
uent, which was used Ia all my public
utterances:
Owing TO a peculiar combination oil

IN THE STOCK MARKET.
Early Trading Animated. With
Generally Firm Tone.

Generally Firm Tone
NEW YORK, Jan IS--Trading in stocks
upon the opening Of business today was
fairly animated and generally firm tone
prevailed
There were particularly sharp advances
in Missouri. Union Pacific. Southern Pa
cifc. and Manhattan from yesterdays faal
level. and the railway list generally dealt
in at material gains.
In the Industrial quarter. Federal Steel
was the feature and. after opening lower,
the stock developed steadiness- sugar Re
fning was the only other active feature
OF the quarter and was fairly steady
Aside from Manhattan. the transactions
in the local traction shares were N lin
tied volume There were further large
dealings in the Erie issues which contin-
ued to reflect the disappointment that no
dividend was declared upon the stock yes
terday as had been commonly expected.
The London market for Americans
showed irregular price changes and the
dealings here for foreign account were
on both sides of the market. Consols
were lower in London. probably because
OF the disappointing situation in South
Africa. and the state of the Queens
health also attracted some attention. So
far as could be ascertained. the threat
ened political difficulties with Venezuela
were not an appreciate influence in the
dealings here.
For the most part the local trading
seemed to be governed by the same con-
siderations which have been effective
throughout the week The now very large
group of spectators operating for de-
cline continued to sell stocks with free
dom, and their efforts met with little OPP
position from the larger financial inter
ests- The business of commission houses
was comparatively restricted by reason
of the uncertain character of the market.
but fo: the most part it seemed to be still
upon the buying side.
Expectations were commonly held that
tomorrow's bank statement would show
further additions to surplus reserves out
these appeared TO play but small part in
today's dealings.
