Copper City Happenings Of Interest
 
EXPENSIVE BLAZE IN
 THE ORD BUILDING
HOTEL BUILDING DAMAGED S7oo-
 UNINSURED.
The Fire Department Did Good Work After It ArriVed-Fire EStinguisheo Twice-Oriein Unknown - Parties Loot Saloon During Excitement.

Fire was discovered in several places on the second floor of the Ord Hotel, on the corner of G avenue and Tenth street, this morning about 9 o'clock. Officer Charles Splawn gave the alarm by firing his pistol. The crowd in the Waldorf got out hose from the fire house and soon had a stream of water playing 10 good pur- pose and checked the fire. Following the arrival upon the scene of the members of the fire department the flames were extinguisheC in short or der, and the fire fighters retired from the building. In less than an hour another alarm was turned in and the building was discovered to be once more on fire. The fire boys put it out some more and the flames remained subdued this time
 During the excitement some parties went into the saloon under the hotel and helped themselves to whisky ga lore and many became drunk. The officers interfered and stopped the purloining of whisky, and one man was arrested for disorderly behavior
 The damage to the building was about S70O, fully covered by insur- ance. The house IS tho property of the First National bank The build ing was to have been torn down in a few weeks to make room for a better one. The origin of the fire is un- known, and it was first discovered, it would seem, from the outside.
 The damage to the furniture will amount to several hundred dollars, on which no insurance was carried.
 The damage to the store of Duggan & Co. was very slight as the store people abandoned their first idea of moving the stock from the building The real estate office next door suf- fered slightly.
 The H. E. Dugan real estate office fixtures were damaged about $10O by water coming through the ceiling from the second floor.

A BIG PETITION IS
 TO BE PRESENTED
WoRKINGMEN PRAY THE cOUN. GIL NOT TO REDUCE THE
 GAMBLING TAX.
People of Douglas Go on Record as Opposed to Showing Any FsVors to Gamblers-Douglas No Camp, but City of Homes.

The petition to be presented to the city council at its Monday night ses- sion, asking that the license tax on gambling, etc. in Douglas be not re- duced, has already been signed by a sufficient number of citizens to give it all the force that a petition of a people to their chosen officers should carry A score of business men have gone on record as opposed to the re duction. Five hundred people at the smelters and in the clty-the men upon whom the city depends for its prosperity-have joined in the prayer to the city fathers against the proposed reduction. There is no doubt of the trend of public sentiment against gambling in this city.
 Many people make the mistake of calling Douglas a mining camp. This town is no camp. It is a permanent city of homes and the people who have homes and families here are of the same opinion as the people of other like communities. That is, they see nothing of a Tedeeming nature in gambling can they recognize in extending municipal concessions to the gambling element step in the right direction.
 There are already between 800 and 500 names on the petition and it is still being circulated. Yesterday at the Copper Queen shelter ninety five of the men of one shift were seen. Eighty of them signed the petition. Twelve declined to sign because the petition was too mild. and three fa- Tored the reduction of the license.

NEW YORK BANKS.

NEW YORK, November 1.-THE flhah-
cier says this week:
AS was expected would be the case
when it was indicated on Friday that,
According to the estimates. which were
based upon the traceable movements OF
money during the week, the banks had lost
about $4,000, 600 in cash-the weeks OIL
cial statement of the New York associated
banks showed deficiency in the surplus
reserve for the first time since September
90 1902 when there was deficiency or
81 ,642.o50
Though the larger institutions seem to
have made strenuous efforts to prevent
such an unfavorable exhibit, through lid
eral calling in of loans, thereby reducing
the deposits and hence the required re-
serve these efforts were unavailing, the
reserve requirements against general de-
posts being greater by 81, 42S. 500 than the
total cash reserve. and, therefore, deficit
OF this amount was shown. The cash
loss, as reported in the official statement.
was S1O,S9S 900.
1t was due, almost wholly, to transfer
through the subtreasury and to direct ship
ments of money to New Orleans and to
ST. Louis, where requirements incident 70
the movement of the cotton crop were
u
needs, and to Washington for account o.
the 5 per cent redemption fund and also
for excess internal revenue collections. The
general deposits were reduced S24 4o9, o.
partly because of the contraction of Slo.-
1884, 600 in loans and in part by reason OF the
above noted loss of cash.
The required reserve against deposits was
reduced So 1926, deducting which sum
from the decrease in cash left S4, 1873, 0I5 as
the diminution in surplus reserve. mas
much as such reserve in the previous week
was 81, 354 2I5, the loss of the above noted
amount OF "a, 1888. 0T5 caused a deficiency OF

deposits less IS, $50, 600 public funds-against
which, 1t may be noted, no cash reserve IS
required by the Treasury Department 10
be held-the deficiency is s2s4,S
The statement made a good proof. the
sum of the contraction in loans and the
loss of cash being only s422,900 greater
than the decrease in deposits. 1t is note
worthy that the loans exceeded the de-
posits by SIS 1868, coo; there is, however,
nothing in the fact which should cause
apprehension. such excess of loans probably
representing the employment of circulation,
uninvested surplus and other available
items, which were loaned because OF the
exigencies of the situation 1t may be
observed that heretofore when deficiencies
in reserve have been shown they have
rarely been continuous, the reserve posi-
ton of the banks having been speedily rec
titled through the contraction of loans and
hence in deposits and reserve requirements;
such rectifcation will most likely tend to
restore the surplus of the banks IN the
near future.
The daily average of bank clearings for
the five days of the bank week was $751;,

to bear local franchise stock and to an
nounce the determination OF the municipal
would cripple the greedy corporations quite
seriously
The insiders of the company took all the
stock the politicians were freely selling
without owning. They then advised the
boss to see the error of his stock market
ways unless he desired to part with un-
necessary $4,000. for they proposed to
squeeze enough out of the political shorts
to make up what their company would lose
from the enforcement OF the cruel ordi-
nance. Which the boss did. having no wish
to decrease his bank account But some of
his followers had pinch or two. which
was salved little later when they bought
the stock and held 1t until the ordinance
was repealed. Tney then sold the stock at

Market in Same Rut.
1t is because of the knowledge that such
things are done that Wall street thought
the local franchise stocks were sold by peo-
pie who had confidently expected a sweep
ing Tammany victory, as though only DEM
ocrats were susceptible to stock market
tips. The market, moreover, continued In
the same rut Of indecison and hesitancy
that has SO exasperated the professionals.
It was weak one day and strong the next.
Whenever the signs of tight money be-
come visible to the naked eye OF the op
timist the professionals rush to sell stocks
and predict an experimenting crash, only
to be brought face to face with the fact
that the country at large Is too prosperous
to justify full-fiedged bear market.
And big money" on the bull side seems
equally far away. for prices are very high.
Dealers in bonds report that they are not
doing a greater business because they
haven't the goods to deliver at prices to
tempt investors, especially at a time when

admit that when money comes down there
may be an upward movement in stocks. but
he insists that in the meantime stocks
should decline.
The public is not buying securities in bulk
today. but neither is it selling. What Is to
start a wholesale selling movement when
general conditions are as good as at pres
ent? The answer is not easy. And what
Is to start a wholesale buying movement
while the majority of stocks are so high
that bargains are few and far between!
The answer Is equally difficult. 1t prob
ably revolves itself into the old question
of whether the public can be stimulated into
big gambling in stocks. 1t is now gambling
in cotton. The planter who holds his and
the farmer who isn't selling his wheat are
gambling.
But that does not encourage Wall street
much any more than 1t hear with
equanimity the reports of real estate booms
all over the country and the deVelopmehl
OIL local enterprises by local capital. There
is a great deal of real money in the coun-
try Perhaps It Is just safe where 1t is
as it would be In Wall street. But 1t helps
to make the market so exasperating to the
professionals who live by fluctuations.

ular with some potato growers. Some
of the potatoes Of best quality, how
ever, are also freest from blight. We
believe that leaving everything else
out Of consideration it will pay po-
tato grower to grow varieties of good
quality which are equally or more
productive than those perhaps little
freer from blight and spray them with
bordeaux MKT ire He would then be
in a position to offer the very best
potatoes to his customers, who would
soon appreciate those of better quality.
The question of how to market pota-
toes depends so much on local condi-
lions that it is not considered desir-
able to go very fully into it here. The
practice Of the best growers is to sort
and bag the potatoes just before they
are ready to market them. Good ma
chimes for sorting and removing the
sprouts from potatoes can now be OBJ
tanned, which lessons the labor very
much. A sorter or separator is here
represented
