Copper Situation Improving.

The copper situation is also clearing

ties of the metal and the majority Of
copper metal sellers believe that lake
copper will sell at 10 cents per pound
within two weeks. Exports continue on
a very large scale and many predict that
exports for September will reach 10000
tons. During the first eight months OF
the present year we have shipped abroad
upwards of 100000, 0vy pounds of refined

News of Improvement.

From every source comes news of inn
provement. The condition of the cotton
crop is above the average fer eleven
years. The condition of the corn crop Is
satisfactory and wheat is better than re-
ported. The farmer and the planter are
in excellent shape with money to invest
Railroad returns for July show that
business is smaller than in the previous
July, but both gross and net earnings
have held up wonderfully and as. a rule
the di lidends of the big companies are
more than earned even when the de-
crease is largest. OF course the railroads
in the southern states have had a good
tine. having seen helped by the high
prices CT cotton. Mary of these roads
need ne. rails AMI ..eS rolling stock
which they will be able now to purchase.
All lines are now busy talking about
car shortage and engine shortage This
is a yearly phenomenon and will prob
ably be more marked than ever in a
year when business is actually short. The
basis of the present talk is a fairly good
one. 1t consists of the fact that in many
sections shippers have increased their
orders for cars on short notice, causing
equipment managers on some divisions to
sit up late at night devsing methods to
meet the calls in a hurry. The change
arises naturally from tho hesitation of a
few weeks ago when shippers at large
were inclined to underestimate their pros
pective needs in the line of equipment
In period of crop uncertainty this
phenomenon always occurs. Taking the
system as a whole there is not railroad
in the west that has not all the cars and
engines 1t needs for its present business
and several of each left over.
The best features of the western traffic
situation are the heavier movement of
merchandise and coal. The grain tonnage
is slightly better than 1t was week
or so ago and Is likely to increase from
now on until 1t reaches its climax late
in the autumn. The prospects are that
in the aggregate it will be very heavy
over the season. The fruit tonnage from
Missouri and the south has been salts
factory to date. The heaviest and most
profitable of it does not move, however,,
until a week or two later, when the ap-
PIE trains from the Ozark country are
very important factor on the local div
isions southwest of St Louis. The crop
was a failure last year and will this
year make a fair showing.

PoIi,s Theater.

Riccobono's trained horses are Polrs wonderful feature act this week. The famous "Good Night horse is one of the troupe, and a number of dogs per form equally marvellous tricks and feats.
 McWatters, Tyson and company, in a spectacular and beautiful act entitled W audeville," presented a novelty and comedy combination that was applaud ed last evening and both principals had to come to the footlights and bow their acknowledgements.
 The act furnishes a bit of clever im- presentations, among them an Italian, a Jew and a monk, the latter by Miss Tyson, and she's wonder. Bright song hits mark the entire performance, and minstrel show, Hermann the Greats famous Turkish illusion and the swamp scene presented three pret- ty misses, who emerge from lilies in the pond. The electrical effects thrown on the swamp scene and the sudden opening of the lilies, disclosing the beautiful young ladies, made an en- trancing picture.

UNIVERSITY CHAMBER CONCERTS
Eighteenth Year of the Series-Famous
 Kneisal Quartette.

Eighteenth Year of the Series-f'amous
 Kneisel Quartette.
 Announcements have been issued III regard to the coming season of uniyer- sity Chamber concerts. This series IS now in it's eighteenth year. and has proved to be an indispensable factor Tn the increase of musical appreciation m the city. In recent years the celebrat- ed Kneisel Quartette has been the prin- cipal attraction. The remarkable per lection of tone and expression which this organization manifests is well known. The individuals of the quar- | tette are artists of the highest rank. Their resignation from the Boston symphony orchestra two years ago cre- ated a sensation in the musical world, for it was universally recognized that their places could not easily be filled. This was particularly so in the case of MT. Kneisel, the principal violinist and assistant conductor, and of Alvin Schroeder, the leading violoncellist.
 The cause of their resignation was the increasing number of concert en- agreements for the quartette, which made it impossible to attend to their duties in the orchestra. At present they devote their whole time to quar- tette-p playing, and pay even more at tention than formerly to the attain ment of the utmost perfection in their work. The result of their labors is manifest, for it may safely be said that there is no individual organization in the world that gives such d finished musical performance,
 Music lovers in New Haven will be pleased to know that three out of the four concerts of the course will be giv- en by the Kneisels. The first one will be on Saturday of this week, the other two in March. The Adamowski Trio will give one concert January 24.
 Lampson lyceum, the beautiful audi toriun recently built by Yale univer- sity, will be used for the chamber con- eerts. The Kneisel concert Saturday evening will be the first musical event to take place in the new hall. It is expected that the audience will De able to listen in greater comfort than in the hall which has been used in previous years. Lanpson lyceurn is somewhat larger and has better seating facilities.
