COPPER STOCKS ON ToBoGeAN
Sensational Decline In Consolidated
Lake Superior ON the PhiIa-
dsIphia EXCHANGE.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 12.-There were
three important developments today In con-
nection with the collapse Of the shares Of
the Consolidated Lake Superior company,
which began yesterday and continued today.
~ The president Of the company, F. s.,
Lewis, resigned.
C) The quarterly dividend of * per cent,
due on Monday was deferred.
go A loan Of $1,000 600 was arranged.
The loan Is to be made by a number Of
local trust companies and banking institu-
tions, with the aid Of Speyer & Co. and the
Morton Trust company of New York and
the Mercantile Trust company of Baltt-
more. 1t is to be secured by notes pre-
sumably on the Algoma Central railway
and the Algoma Steel company, subsidiary
concerns of the Consolidated Lake Superior
company, and by the preferred stock of the
company. In the market today stock
dropped to SS%. a decline of SAN a share
since the decline began. Common sold at
6, a fall of 1874 a share during the same
period.
The cause Of the company's financial Diff
fculty is the existing money stringency.
When the last dividend was declared a
large loan was practically arranged with
which to pay dividends amounting to about
s412, 900 and to meet certain other obIiga-
tions.
The closing of the ~company's steel rail
mill at Sault Ste. Marie, which appears to
have preoipitated the decline of the stock,
is said to be due to the noncompletion of
blast furnaces, steel plants and other i'm
provements. which should have been ready
nearly two years ago.
F. H. Clergue, general manager, wired
the directors from Sault Ste. Marie today
that the rail mill had been temporarily

which is owned by the Canadian govern
ment.

thought he was in Vermont or in sight
OF her mountains earlier than that,
probably in 177s. He was met at
Windsor by the governor and other
officials who came with him by stage
/ TO Montpelier. The stage was drawn
by six white horses which were changed
every 10 miles and the drivers were in
suucted to make the 10 miles in an
hour il they killed the horses. 1t was
expected the party would reach Mont
pelier early in the day and the school
children were kept in readiness TO well
come him from that time until 3 o'clock
in the evening, the time OF his arrival.
| The troops were stationed on Barre
street all through the day, awaiting his
, arrival Gen. Lafayette and his suite
were entertained over night at the Cad
well House and the only carpet then
owned in town was borrowed 10 put
down in his bed room. On the next
day he addressed large concOurse OF
people from the Pavilion porch, near
the spot where the new bronze tablet is
to be erected.
After the address a reception was
held, and as Lafayette passed down the
line of old soldiers he asked each one
under what commander he fought.
One old man replied Under Bergine,
sir The descendants of this man, Ar
buckle, Hessian who had deserted
from the British army during the Reyo-
! lutionary war, still reside IN East
Montpelier.
LAFAYETTE went from Montpelier TO

stone OF the south college of the Uni
versity OF Vermont, and at Burling-
ton the proceedings were closed by q
reception and splendid entertainment
