NEW YORK.

On Thursday next, the regular divid-
end meeting of Amalgama ed Copper
will be held, and on the 18th the quarter
ly meeting OF the United States Steel
Corporation. Refined copper has ad-
vanced to 1913 cents a pound and ex-
tensfve enga gements at this figure have
been consummated for Ceptember and
October delivery. In fine. the outlook
now is, according to the views of the
best posted men in the metal trade. that
the price of the crude metal will remain
stable. or display a hardening tendency.
throughout the remainder of the year
consideration of these factors leads
inevitably 10 the conclusion that Anal
Eamated Is in position to increase its
dividend rate should the nagement of

mated in last weeks markets served to
indicate how widespread Is the belief
that the rate will be raised.
The interest in the quarterly meeting
OF Steel hinges less upon the expecta-
ton of any disbursement to the com
existing statistical position of the in
dGstry. That the net earnings of the
quarter viii amount to something re-
markable Is conceded; the estimates
varying from S31. COG, 900 20 $50. 600 Co., with
the preponderance of the evidence in
favor OF the former amount The focal
point on which ali ewes viii be directed
when the quarterly statement is Is
sued, is the engaged tonnage appearing
on the books on June 30. On April /,
It viii be recalled. the booked orders

one then recognized would prove to be
an exceptional quarter. judged by re-
cent standards. On July ], 1901. 4.136. 600
tons We're entered on the company's
books. Should the engaged tonnage en-
tered al the close of the last quarter
equal or exceed these latter figures. the
condition of the steel industry should
be accepted as eminen.Iy satisfactory.
In tho past the engaged tonnage has
constituted an infallible criterion by
which to judge the earnings in any
given quarter and should the engaged
tonnage on hand at the close Of the
second quarter of 1905 exceed 1000. 600
tons. 1t will be safe to predict that the
Steel Corporations net earnings for the
year will exceed $105. .000. 600.

May Clean Out Office.

At the printing office there is some
worry lest the President may insist on
a general cleaning out OF officials who
have been engaged in the controversy
on either side. That Public Printer
Palmer will retire soon is stated now
on the authority of Senators who have
lately discussed the matter with the
President. They are quoted as saying
that even before the present trouble
arose it was determined that there
should be a change at the printing Of
fee.
To what extent the disposition to-
ward a general cleaning up may affect
the candidacy of Mr.. Ricketts, for Pub
lie Printer is subject of much COn1eC-
ture. Mr.. Ricketts, is the only candi-
date now known to be aspiring, and he
has q powerful political support at
work for him, including especially
Speaker Cannon and the Illinois Sena-
tors
Senator Lodge of Massac achusetts is
said to have made a personal appeal to
the President on behalf Of Mr.. Ricketts,,
basing it on the ground that he consid-
cred Mr.. Ricketts, especially fitted for
the place. While he was not in the habit
of supporting candidates except those
from his own State, he wanted TO be Ola
record as strongly in favor Of MIR.
Ricketts,.
In this connection. It is told by the
friends Of Mr. Ricketts,, when he was be
fore the Keep commission he refra1ned
from volunteering some most interesting
evidence, out of regard for the effect it
would have on personal relations and
the service.
1t is said by his friends. among other
things that he could have told of GER
tain efforts made by a representative Of
the LaustOn company to secure his z3~-
port for the Lanston machines, bv
promises of political support and of op-
portunity to make his course of action
profitable.
