London, April 4.
Old Coventry has a sheaf Of dramatic tradi-
tions. In the Middle Ages a series of miracle
f.hd morality plays enacted there, and there
'pere periodical professions and mummeries in
honor of Lady Godiva- Shakespeare mustered
Falstaff's ragged followers for a staggering
march through the town OF the three tall spires.
Mrs Siddons was married in one of the famous

Her father, Benjamin Terry was playing near

ple father was tall and erect and the mother

Copper Stocks Increasing.

Stocks of copper the metaD are slowly
but steadily increasing, despite the eff
forts of bulls to make 1t appear that con-
sumption is still running ahead of produe-
ton. The best statistics available show
that since the first of the year there has
been an increase of about 52,0o0,000 pounds
in our domestic surplus, making stocks at
this time 9S, 100000 pounds. against 6s,0oo,0oo
pounds on January /. The nigh prices
have stimulated mining activity in most
extraordinary way and the outlook for
the year is for production of 1,100,oo0,000
pounds. At this writing the United States
consumes between 55.000,000 and 100000
pounds a month, or a maximum about
700, 100000 pounds year This, which will
be perceived, will leave large surplus
for export, considerably more than the
current rate of shipment, In spite of this
showing a majority of experts in the cop
per market express the conviction that the
metal will continue to sell above Is cents
during the remainder Of the year.

Effect of Earthquake.

The California earthquake gave Wall
street tremendous shock. 1t created
semi-panic on the stock exchange and
loosened up a bass of securities which
came tumbling out, falling on the heads
of the market players. On Wednesday the
whole list underwent a sharp break, Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific leading with
declines of or points and practically
everything else sympathizng. On Thurs
day there was a further slump, Union
Pacific going to 1852, loss of points in
two days. Southern Pacific had break
as severe as Union Pacific. On the second
day of the break Reading had a severe
setback. recedlng to 126l2, loss in two
days of about points. United Railways,
which owns the street car lines of San
Francisco tobogganed 80 points. This Is
a stock which has only lately been intro
duced to the New York market, and the
burden of the shrinkage fell on the two
banking houses which had underwritten
the security The appalling nature of the
catastrophe and it's magnitude had SEN
sational effect in every speculative COM
munity although 1t has not seriouly dis
turbed the foundations of the business
situation. The utter humiliation of $780,,
100000 worth of property is calamity
but It is by no means irreparable. San
Francisco will be rebuilt and on a
grander and bigger scale than before and
the work of reconstruction will be stimu-
lating in every sense of the word. The
earthquake and subsequent confagration
demonstrated among other things the SUI
periorty of the steel and iron structure
over every other kind of building, a fact
which will be of very great advertising
value and of increased revenue production
to the iron and steel stocks. This point
was seized upon by the bulls in this class
of industrials and they came to the sup
port of their favorite issl with enthu-
siasm. 1t will be the same with San
Francisco as 1t was with Galveston. Bal

scah-larger even than was the case Of
Chicago, when that city was scourged for
$50 O00. 900. All of these communities re-
covered sharply and completely from the
catastrophes which overlook them, and
each and every one is stronger today
than ever before. 1t is true also that the
stock market rallied quickly from shocks
like that which has been experienced this
week

street Trust Making Money.

The steel trust is making money at the
rate of $4,000, 900 a month, or s16O,OOOOOO a
year 1t is entirely improbable that such
high pressure results will hold good long,
but the prediction Of $l45, 900 900 net for
the year is not extravagant, and that af-
ter making all proper reductions for de-
probation, repairs. extensions, etc In
view of this situation holders of the conf
mon stock feel warranted in looking for
ward hopefully to resumption Of divi-
dends, although the management does
not give direct encouragement to such ex-
peetations, Mr. II. C.. Frick Is quoted
however, as saying that he expects steel
common to eventually cross the prefer
red, and as Mr.. Frick is the real dominat-
ing personality in United States steel his
views carry weight big Steel is more
and more coming to be regarded as the
best barometer OF trade and business con-
dftions and the opinions of the leading
spirits in the corporation are eagerly har-
kened to-
Wall street heard with emotions the an
nouncement that the department of jus
tice at Washington had called upon
Charles Il. Hughes of this city and Alex
ander Simpson, Jr, of Philadelphia to
prosecute the coal trust under the Sher-
man law. The government has a mass
of evidence already at hand the bulk of
which was furnished by William Ran
dolph thre years ago and pigeon holed. IL
Mr.. Hughes carries into this work the
pertinacity and genius for getting at the
facts which he displayed in the interuance

Political End Well Managed.

The political end of the Wall street
game in whisky has been managed with
eonsumate skill and patience. 1t has been
made to appear that manufacturers and
the entire farming element were unani-
nous for free alcohol in the arts. Con-
gress has been impressed with this idea
through the medium of countless me-
MORALS and letters from manufacturers
and farmers. The scheme of bombarding
Congress with machine made memorials
for the purpose of giving an appearance
of popular backing for proposed legisla-
ton has been worked time and again
but never more effectively than in this in
stance. The agricultural community
seems to have become imbued with the
idea that if Congress would only re-
move the tax from alcohol used for manu-
featuring and fuel purposes they could get
about twice as much for their grain, po-
tatoes and beets as they are now receiv-
ing That Is the experimental phase of
the case. The known feature will be a
direct loss in revenues to the govern
ment of $15,ooo,00O to s20,0O0OOO and the

no business man in the community more

The unprecedented growth of the Kress

the success of the firms business meth

when he placed Mr.. MeCleery at the head
of the local establishment.
From an humble beginning eight years
ago, the Kress store has grown to be the
largest sc and 10c store in the world. No
stronger proof of the faith Mr.. Kress has

sired than the fact that he has built here

The fine. commodious Third avenue store
was occupied last spring. The store is one
of the handsomest in the city. and every
available space is used, too. One hundred
to 200 people are in the company's employ.
THE coming Of Kress on Third avenue
probably did more to bring the street into
Its present commercial Importance than
any other factor.

HOMECOMING AND HOME

The great army of the workers are re-

residence districts of the city and suburbs
and with an eager air of anticipation they
crowd themselves on every available

The morning journey to work is less
picturesque owing to the fact that the
hour for beginning FORK varies from
to 9, and the crowds are consequently
not so great. But 1t has its features.
There are the bright faces and immacu-

who took his girl to the Jefferson the

Growth of BuIlish Sentiment.

Bullish sentiment in Wall street prom
ises to grow stronger as the spring adj
vances, The eountrys prosperity is SO
overwhelming that it impresses the whole
speculative world. 1t overshadows every
thing else and dwarfs every off-setting
feature. 1t makes pessimism ashamed of
itself and drives croakers into the re-
ccsses. 1t excuses the unfavorable COM
pexion of the money market and every
body joins in the chorus that snug money
and high interest rates comprise bullish
factor, inasmuch as they furnish proof
Of intense and general business activity.
The money they say Is wanted for legiti-
mate purposes and speculation must ex-
pect to pay high for whatever surplus
funds it can get hold of. This is philo-
sophie view to take of the situation and
il meets with high favor in every Wall
street quarter at the present time.
There Is one thing which experience
has taught the fnanciers. however, which
is that good times will not last forever.
1t was Bret Harte that remarked that
the only thing certain about luck is that
it will change. 1t is so with good times
and bad times. IL we were to have con-
tinual prosperity life might become mono
tonous. Perennial depression on the other
hand might get on to our nerves and pro-
duce morbid conditons-Go rkyphobia, as

financiers and manufacturers of securities
are therefore taking every advantage of
existing conditions to provide themselves
