Summing up the expressed opinion OF
Wall Street, it would appear that the
chief significance of the Amaigamated
Copper Compaay's statement was that
il appeared at all. Despite assurances
that were very nearly official in origin,
the speculative contingent remained
Skeptical up to she last moment When
the statement began coming over the
news tickers traders bought copper, on
the theory that airy statement at all
that the directors were willing to put
out should be good for a point or two,
in addition to the disc0unting which the
price of the stock has been doing
for several days. Much of the early
buying, was done by brokers for the
pool, but traders asserted that they de-
tected pool selling going on at the same
time. and estimated faat pool purchases
only about balanced sales. They sur
missed that the pool was unwilling to re-
peat the experience of the last quar-
ter. at which time it is believed to have
taken large blocks Of the stock between
81 and 50, which, Of course, still shows
a loss Insiders were. therefore, un-
derstood to favor maintaining the price,
without seeking to mark il w in a1-
vance of public following. Tie point
was made that once having issued a
financial statement the directors could
scarcely avoid issuing half-yearly or at
least yearly statements hereafter
According to the reasoning that pre-
walls in some quarters. the expected
retirement of E. H. Hartman from the
active management of Union Pacific
operation is a bull card" on the Har-
rinian stocks. Thus far the best OBJ
tainaDle Information in regard TO that
gentleman's intentions is that he wifi
'reiinquish 10 his well chosen subordi-
mates more and more of the details of
railroad management, but will remain a
heretofore the connecting link between
the properties and the large financial
interests which have made their great
development possible. His retirement
from the operating side Of the business,
which seems 10 be the limit of pending
changes. is expected to promote har-
rnony In Union Pacif1cs relations with
its competitors; no one believes that he
is not TO remain as the man higher
up to whom company presidents will
be responsible for results.
The disposition OF traders not to re-
main long committed on either side Of
the market was confirmed yesterday by
the entire absence of commission house
orders, Aside from the evening-up sales
Of traders who had been working for
rally. the market did not develop any
points of weakness, and the impression
prevailed at the close that some of the
obstacles TO higher prices were in d
fair way to disappear.

CHIEF ZIRBES MADE A HAUL
Gets Reputation for Detective
Work in Sioux City

The Sioux City papers have recently
been devoting quite a little space to
gently lauding Chief Zirbes Of this
city. IT all came about through the
arrest OF two more of the Springfield
bank robbers and Zirbes did it.
While enroute home from the pre-
liminery examinations Of Carroll and
Wilson, who were bound vel at
Tyndall Friday, he saw two suspicious
looking characters On the train and
took pains to find their destination,
which was Tripp. Now Trippis quite
near Springfield and the chief got a
"hunch" that these fellows were back
after some Of the plumber that had
been left behind. The chief went on
to Mitchell but took the train tack
the next morning and sure enough
the same pair got on again. They
looked as if they had slept out doors
all night and when they got to Sioux
City Zirbes, first having phoned for a
couple of detectives, pointed the
fellows out to them and the arrest
was soon made. A lot Of silver was
found in their possession in such
shape that there is not much doubt OF
their having been in the deal OF
friends Of the two men now IN Jal.
