NEW YORK.

The tone Of the market yesterday was
decidedly stronger than on any day this
ally manifested by the professional ele-
ment that controlled the situation to
allow stocks to reap the benefit OF the
many favorable existing market factors,
rather than to cooperate longer with
view of producing a decline. Amalga-
mated Copper, which has been subject
ed to quiet but steady pressure of late,
was permitted to move unhampered.

best price of the day, with a net gain

advance that Amalgamated has achieved
&nce the stock was placed upon a per
cent basis, and it was fully warranted
by the hardening tendency displayed n
the crude metal market. Extensive or
ders for refined cOTsJr for September and
October delivery were placed yesterday
upon q 15A cent per pound basis al
though the official quotation for the
metal still continues at 1915 cents. Steel
preferred moved up II point, while the
common closed unchanged American
Smelling advanced q. American Loco
motive g. and Anaconda placed itself
upon parity with London prices by an
advance of ~ points.
The most striking incident of the day,
from a news standpoint was the placing
OF Erie second preferred, upon q 4 per
cent dividend basis. That Erie has shown
a marked Improvement in earning ca
pacity of late was generally known. and
| that the management contemplated in
creased terminal facilities and extensive
changes and betterm erlts was an open
secret; but probably because of the
heavy expenditure incidental to the ac-
complishment of these comprehensive
plans. the Street was inclined to believe
that the placing of the second preferred
| upon a dividend basis would be post
pOned until the close OF the current half
year. The news leaked. however. late
in the day. before the official announce
ment, and the trading in the three Is
sues of Erie comprised one-third of the
markets tOta! volume. Erie common

Practically all of the crop news Of the
day was favorable even the revised es-
innate of the Agricultural Department
on the June acreage Of cotton planted,
which put the reduction about midway

Charles F. Weller.

"Only six new paid workers have

In the comparison which Charles f.
Weller, secretary of the Associated
Charities, draws between the work of
that organization in 1900 and 1905, the
figures and statistics have a significance
far beyond what they show upon the
surface.
During these five years the scope Of
the work has increased many fold. Mr.
Weller says:
I'm a vague way the comparison of
the two totals may suggest now the
work has grown. The 10O.s97.35 units Of
1905 as compared with the Y .49S 45 of
1900 may roughly suggest that the work
has more than doubled.
Each year the effort has been for
less relief and more upbuilding- This
is the ideal kind of aid. and each year
the Associated Charities approaches
nearer this goal. Necessarily the growth
of the work in the past five years has
resulted in increased expenses. In 1900

Credentials Insufficient.

Another important factor in the failure
OF the mission was the fact that the
minister came without any credentials
that such credentials as he bore were
rot recognized by the department as
stamping him as a special envoy from
the Emperor of Korea. That he was

There are different sorts of race

different attitudes toward them in diff

said Perhaps that fact is largely re-
sponsible for the progress our people
have made.
"A majority Of the Sioux Of the diff

HIS HEART BEATS
FOR DYING KOREA.
Minister Minis Mission a
Complete Fizzle.
HIS NERVE FAILED HIM
Broken Hearted Over the Tragic Death
of His Brother, the Diplomat
Loses Hope.

That the special mission to America
of Yeung Tchan Min, Korean minister
TO France. was a total failure, was due
TO n great extent TO the blow that befell
him through the suicide Of his brother,
Prince Min. Although the Korean gov
ernment is not officially recognized di-
rectly by the State Department he no
doubt would have fallen short of his
purpose in coming to Washington, but
it is understood that he almost COM
pletely lost heart and nerve after ar
irving in New York, when he was first
apprised of the death of his brother, TO
whom he was greatly devoted.
In his grief, the minister lost his
nerve. According TO the statement made
today by the only person who was in
the confidence of the minister during his
brief stay in America, he was rendered
almost a total wreck by the tragic
end of his brothers life, and what ne
had planned to be strong arguments
either slipped his memory or the courage
TO express them failed him when he
called at the State Department.
1t was stated that although his call
was not accepted as official, he was
given kindly and sympathetic hearing
Now IL develops, according to The Times
Informant. that the audience was brief,
and that the minister was frankly told
