mittee Soliciting Funds.

Thnre was short meeting o
the Herpoer Commercial Club las
Saturday evening at the counci
chamber.
The meeting was for the pur-
pose of hearing a report from the
building committee which was ap-
poln'ed to solicit subscriptions of
stock for the building of club
Eouse. Owing to a pressure of
other business the committe re-
ported that the time had been too
short to do the work of soliciting
and asked for an extension Of time

week.
The pr value of each share is
$40 and the petition specifies that
the stock is payable after--the cor
poration has secured from the city
of Heppper lease on the real
prop' rty on which the building is
to stand for a term OF SO years.
If the necessary stock can be se-
cured there will not likely be any
trouble to get the lease from the
city council.
The following persons have sub
scribed:
T. W. Ayers, 10 shares; O. E.
Farnsworth, 10 shares; Gillian &
Bisbee, 10 shares; Geo. Conser, 10

THE EUROPEAN MARKETS.
English and French Financiers Await.
ing Sea Fight

With the attention of the civilized world
fixed upon the possible naval conflict in
far eastern waters, 1t is scarcely surprising
that business both on the stock exchange
and in the money market should be more
or less at a standstill, says a cablegram
from London. What will be the financial
results, should that conflict result in a fur
Their decisive victory for Japan, it is some
what difficult to say. But there is no doubt
at all that If Russia should gain some ex-
traordinary victory, the effect on the stock
markets here. for a time al least would
be disastrous. Indeed a good many now
are feeling that even in Paris a Russian
victory would no. be welcome as
twelvemonth ago. 1t would certainly not
be welcome there if it meant prolongation
of the war.
The truth Is we have done much already
to discount the effects both of easy
money and of peace. 1t Is perfectly true
that consols and many leading securities,
such English railways, are still compare
lively low in price, but if you take stock
exchange securities as a whole, 1 should
say that values have already been put to
a level which can only be justified or ex-
tended further by such favorable condi
tons as easy money and an undisturbed
political outlook abroad.
The best opinions here certainly do not
look for a pronounced boom following
the conclusion of war in the far east. If
Russia pays large indemnity to Japan
one OF two things must happen. The money
VIII either come, wholly partly, from
he stores of bearded gold in Russia, or it
will come from the tills of French bankers.
If the former course is pursued, the worlds
money markets will directly benefit, even
when all allowance is made for the fact
that Japan would doubtless use some con-
siderable portion OF the proceeds of the
indemnity for strengthening it's own gold
reserve.
If on the other hand, France provides the
greater part of the money. the effect will
doubtless be to lessen Europe's supply Of
floating capital, but at the same time the
burden will fall upon shoulders Well able
to withstand the strain. Even the resultant
weakening of Russian securities would be
less dreaded because of knowledge that the
over. But if should conceiv-
ably be protracted for another year or two
its after effects must be felt for some years
to come

AMALGAMATED COPPER.
Was the Quarterly Dividend Too High
or Too LowP

Last January the Amalgamated Copper
Company paid quarterly one-half per cent
and one-half per cent extra" and on
Thursday last it declared l per cent. "regu
lar" This means that dividends are now
on per cent. annual basis against 2 be-
tween 1901 and 1905. and in the two pre-
ceding years of it's history.
What Is to be said of the change in rate?
First, that the copper mining industry, this
year, ought fairly to be earning far more
than what 1t earned year or two ago. The
price of copper stands today at 1875 cents
pound, against 1871 at this time last year;
our exports during the past half-year have
increased in quantity by 40 per cent or
more. Even In 1904 company like the Os-
ceola Mining, whose fortunes always follow
those of the Amalgamated, earned $795,0OO
profit, against $5S3. 600 in 1908, and paid II
per cent dividends against 4.
But II the Industry has earned double
what 1t earned in the Amalgamated's per
cent period, has it earned more than half
what 1t earned when per cent was paid?
The price of copper during 1860 and 1901
was II cents, against todays 1873; but the
price was largely prohibitiye. The 1856 OO0,-
ending with February compare with 1885,
100000 In the same eight months of 1900
1901. These offsetting facts.
The Butte assessors figures Sk1wed that,
in the twelve-montA ending JuEe 1, 1904,
the company earned 50, 24O,OOO net, against
$13, 512 900 for the same period up to June,
1901. If. then, earnings have doubled since
last year, the company's profits should be
ba ok to those of its per cent dividend
days. But did it really earn that 8 per
cent, and has it earned the 2 per cent of
the ensuing lean years? The Osceola earned
% per cent on it's capital in 1900. and lost
10 per cent on 1t in 1901. And the Amalga-
mated Is an absolute blind pool.

After the initial plunge the price for

was well disguised, the market presenting

Trading Demand Improved.

During the last hour of trading demand
was of an improved character. The theory
that the price of May wheat had reached
about the lowest point consistent with what
are called legitimate conditions formed the
basis of much of the late demand. fea-
ture was active demand for the July option
from a house which is credited with hay
ing recently been trading for Gates
Prices, however, made little response TO
the improved demand, the rally in May be-
ing confined to less than a cent. The
market closed steady with May off IA cents
at 92A cents. Distant deliveries were af-
fected by the slump in May, the closing
price on July being down cents. at
