Banking Interests Divided in
 Market Position
U. s. STEEL MORE VALUABLE
Increase In Selling Value Means Profit For the Actual Holders of &c., curlties-Somethine About
 Great Banking Clique.
BY W. G. NICHOLAS.

New oYrk, December 3.-The reaction party in the stock market is getting stronger numerically and in point of in- fiuence. It includes some of the strongest and most experienced operators in the street. It is going the theory that the prosperity feature of the situation has been sufficiently discounted by the advance which has taken place and that the general market would be benefited by set back in prices about this time.
 The banking interests are now divided In their market position and not even all the Standard oil crowd are a unit at this time, some holding that there should be decided reaction or at least half of considerable duration, while others want to continue the suggle and mark up the prices of the goods to still higher levels before pulling out and taking a rest. They have not yet completed their plans for new fiotations and distribution of new Issues of securities and think 1t will be l just as easy to work off the goods at higher figures than those now ruling. The l two market factions are seemingly about equally matched in stren ;th and in- fuence, consequently the market front presents a ragged and irregular appear ance.
 Manipulation is strilxingly evident in many of the active favortes while in others the tape is proof of continued en- ergetic liquidation by the insiders and of increasing pressure. That portion of the public which has come Into the market within the last thirty or forty days has had practically no profit in it's trades although, as yet serious loss has not been incurred This is a good thing for the outside players in some sense, although 1t may breed over-cont-ence which will be costly later on as .a will encourage stubborness to stand out against losses instead of taking alarm and fleeing there 1 from.

Wall Street Not Afraid.


 Wall street cannot be induced to take seriously the scare reports from Wash ington that the President intends to get after the wicked trusts. It Is thought to be more than likely that he will take &C., tion against the beef trust, as government agents have been busy for many months collecting evidence against it. But so long as the White House and the department of justice remain bllnd deaf and dumb to the glaring antiquities of the coal trust 1t would be shockingly inconsistent to run amuck in other and less offensive fields. What steps may be taken by Washing ton to investigate Standard oil can hardly be attended by results of conse- quence. The misdeeds of this venerable sinner have long been known to the world in general, and it's methods are be- leved to be so cleverly concealed and covered up as to make the corporation proof against prosecution.

QUEER DINING PLACES
 TO BE FOUND IN LONDON
BY MRS. E. G. STEVENS.

All foreign cities have their interesting cafes, with customs peculiar to the coun- fry. Each city has one or two well known places that all tourists visit until they lose their individuality by being pat ronized exclusively by foreigners. Tht "Cheshire Cheese" in London. is one ot these places, and nearly every American that has spent q week fin the great me tropolis has had a chop and mug of ale at this interesting place
 But the restaurants where the native people go, those not invaded oy the tour list. are the more entertaining. There are several of them down in the fsecton known as the city" The old London Tavern is noted because Queen Eliza beth ate there after her release from the Tower in 1534. There are several floors and one floor is large chess room. Here you see groups of men play ing their favorite game. The walls are all done In tiles and represent scenes from Shakespeare's works.
 In the large general dining room at the inn are two tables with immense chafng dishes that hold the joints as they call them and the chef with white cap and apron stands there ready
 
 to carve the mutton or beef, so 1t has no tbne to get cold. t
 At another small eating place near the Bank of England these stands are on wheels and are rolled around from table to table so man can slice his own meat if he wishes.
 The grill rooms in some of these cafes are most tempting. Usually they have a table with the meat and fish in its raw state displayed most appetizingly. You can pick your own chop or fish and have it grilled for you Most of the larger and more fashionable restaurants make speciality of East Indian cooking. They have a chef that brings you the dish of curry or chutney dressed Tn his native at tire and looks most picturesque.
 At the Treadero the Turk with red fez and sash that makes and serves YOU with Turkish coffee. was for many years the coffee maker for King Edward. 1t requires cultivated taste to enjoy the thick black stuff. but l, seems to be the fad and is quite popular.
 Everything closes at 19:S0 at night Even at the largest and most fashionable

Interest In coppers Revived.

Speculative interest in the coppers has been revived throughout the east by the sensational advance in the price of the copper metal and by the continued re- ports of a shortage in the worlds sup ply. The best copper authorities assert that production falls far short of con- sumption and that the metal Is certain to advance to IF cents a pound again within a year Consequent upon this ad- vance of the metal. speculation in cop per shares has been rife and all the active stocks have seen a remarkable advance. Trading on the New York curb market in copper stocks occupies the attention of the traders to the exclusion of almost every other country. It is asserted that all the prominent producing companies will close their fiscal year with a large surplus of earnings to their credit. These predictions have caused a most sensa- tional advance in the price of the popu- lar copper stocks. Among these Mon treal and Boston Consolidated M. & S. has perhaps had the greatest percentage of advance of any.
 Three weeks ago this stock went beg glng on the curb at 75 cents a share and today 1t is large demand around s3.25 to $3.50 per share, and there are those who freely predict that. owing to an internal struggle for control of the company this price will advance to s10 within 50 days
 United Copper, a Henze property, is also advancing In value as are British Columbia, White Knob, Tennessee and all of the popular low-priced copper stocks. On Tuesday of this week the Chinese government endeavored to pur- chase 240O tons of spot copper at the mar ket for the manufacture of coin but was unable to get the order filled and they best price they could obtain was 15% cents for March delivery.
 Phelps, Dodge & Go. make the state ment that unless copper production in- creases more than 10 per cent from now until the first of next year there will be copper famine.

Planning to Move West.

 The New Haven Is one of J. Plerpoht Morgan's pets. He has taken more ~ ~ieal live interest fin that property than in any of the corporations with which ne IS identified and he is said to be the moving spirit in the new schemes or eNpaiis,oii. ~, 1t Is well known that the hockeleiiei combination now dominates Ne" Aoi central and with the increased power that outfit Morgan is being slowly pusileu pl'l into the background.

William Rockefeller is a director of the New Haven road and he has two or three or his dummies on the board with him. put the Standard oil is a minority factor there. It is no sure thing that the Penn sylvania Is not in some way tied up with Morgan in these plans and the sugges- ton is made that In the final shake-up the New Haven will abandon the Central and have it's terminals In the grand un- derground depots now being constructed by the Pennsylvania corporation.

PARKER
DAVIS II
CLUB
Organized by Willamette Uni
VerSity Students Propose
TO Hold Rally Saturday

The Parker Davis Club of william.
ette University is the name of an or
ganization formed by the Democratic
students of that institution yesterday
afternoon. Although few in number,
as compared with the membership of
the University Republican club, they
propose to make up in quality what
they lack in quantity. With a MEM
bership of nearly 20, comprising some
of the most prominent students in the
University, they feel that they are
capable of making themselves heard.
At the meeting yesterday the question
of a Marion county Democratic rally
was discussed, and committee of
three, consisting of Murray Shanks,
Roy Byrd and o. b. Long was appoint
ed to work up demonstration in this
dity for next Saturday night.
The committee has so far met with
success in their efforts, and big dem
onstration is practically assured. Be
sides the regulation number of bands,
etc, a number of prominent speakers
from Portland and other parts of the
state will be present. Chief among
these will be Gov. Geo. Z. Chamberlain,
if he can return from California in
time, and Presidential Elector ballard,
of st. Helens. The students propose
to make this the biggest Democratic
rally held in Salem for many day.
Although Salem and Willamette
University are known as Republican
strongholds, this is the only college
Democratic club in Oregon, and per-
haps in the Northwest. The officers Of
the club are:
President, Edgar +. Averill.
Vice-president, Murray Shanks.
Secretary, A. Marker.
Treasurer Geo. b. Simpson.
