Little Significance in Recent Decline
 in Foreiun Copper Prices.

The steady decline in the pTlce or copper in the London market during the past few days, although chiefly due to speculative influences, has none the less caused a deal Of uneaSlnesS among producers in this country ana has likewise created a feeling among the consumers that possibly the turn
 in the upswing of the market has at last been reached. The present Lon don price is the lowest that has been touched since the middle of March and the decline is the result chiefly or manipulation. It has served to bring the foreign price down to level with American quotations. The fact that London quotations have been much above the American prices has, for some time past, been source of dis quietude to the American copper pro- ducers, in view of the fact that it was regarded as an unhealthy element in the situation. Under the circumstances the reaction is very welcome and is really counted on as an indication of SoundnesS rather than as the develop ment of some fresh weakness. None the less, it goes without saying that consumers are not disposed to do any considerable amount of buying so long as the foreign market is show ing a declining tendency. As mat ter of fact, however, there is up to date no occasion whatever for any ap- prehension that the market has started in on a downward swing. The de mand for the metal has, it is true, slackened somewhat of late, but no more than is usual at this season of the year.The situation generally has undergone no change, and, according to the people who are best informed regarding the actual conditions, the market is now as strong as 1t has been at any time in the past and has likewise very promising outlook.
 The American Metal Market voices very general sentiment regarding the drop in London prices when it says that the bear movement has unqUeS- tionably been purely a speculative one and apparently deliberate scheme to encourage bear sales with a view to entrapping the shorts and repeating the squeezing later on of those who have had the temerity to sell what they did not own, especially when the supply of the metal is so limited and in it's present close control.

STOCK MARKET IS
 SHOOTING DOWN

grasp the significance of the present
 setback.
 The situation is made all the more puzzling by the fact that another in crease in the dividend distribution next month to an percent basis is generally looked for-an expectation that is based upon recent official in timations. Under the circumstances, the query is being raised as to wheth- CT the selling movement is simply a
 part of a cleverly arranged market campaign, intended to permit the in siders to add to their holdings pre- liminary to a fresh upswing, or wheth- CT it is really the outgrowth of some inherent weakness not yet revealed.
 The settlement of the Montana cop Der warfare several months since has internationally already been a great financial benefit to the company and. at the present rate of production and with an IS cent copper market, there is absolutely no question but what this big copper producing corporation is earning at the present time at the rate of better than $l6 per share on its stock. The shrewdest traders who keep this fact constantly in mind are therefore united in the belief that the Amalgamated proposition is, despite this latest bear attack, in a thorough ly sound condition and that when the people who are engineering the pres ent drive" have accomplished their purposes, the stock will show an i'm provement more rapid and pronounced than has been its decline, and that. before the summer is far advanced, it will sell al a higher price than it has ever touched since its flotation.

 June 26. 1906. N improvement
 In Stock Market.
 Today shows no improve ment in the stock market, but rather a tendency for further declining in prices. There are no particular favorites on the list outside of Globe Cons.. which is strongly sought after with nowhere near enough of the shares to go around, though We were able to secure a good ly share of the allotment placed here for our clients.
 The closing figures tonight show a drop all along the line, with only a few exceptions. Denn shows the most strength of any of the stocks, and could not be had at less than $15 at tonight's close. Cananea-Du- luth is holding well and when ever offered is eagerly taken up. The stock is recognized now for its real worth, and the knowing ones all realize the brilliant future which the property has ahead of it.

( Fargo Forum: President price is
after a better class of indicator hand,
lers than has been the rule in this
league in former years. He feels
that he hasa trio of good men in An
derson, Long and Bassessen and is in
correspondence with two other men.
both Of whom are. said to be all right.
The league will either engage five
umpires, to have an extra man to take
the place of any jumps who become
i'll, or else a local umpire will be APP
pointed in each town to serve In a
case of an emergency. President Price
says no jumps who fight the hooze can
serve in this league.
The instructions to the decision ar
biters this season will be first of all
their duty to the public, then to the
club owners, then to the players, and
discipline on the field will be-the key
note Of the circular. President Price
proposes to, eliminate rowdyism as Tar
as< possible and the umpires will be
backed up by the head OF the league
in their efforts to preserve order and
keep the game as clean as possible.

LOUISVILLE, Sept. l2.-Enterine
the Southland for the first time il
two years, W. ]. Bryan today received
welcome that in warmth and spon-
tanity has not been surpassed by any
greetings since his return from abroad
His arrival in this city provoked q
great outburst OF acclamations from
the thousands of marchers and yet
more thousands on the streets. His re-
ception at the Armory tonight, where
he addressed a crowd of 10000, was
nothing less than volcanic eruption
of enthusiasm.
Although the attendance of southern
notables was smaller than at first ex-
pected, on account of Bryan's recent
acceptances of numerous invitations
from other southern cities, still the
meeting was a very representative
southern gathering graced by Ken
lucky leaders of the Democracy, a
number of prominent Democrats from
other Southern states, and great mass
of citizens from Kentucky and Indiana.
Bryan was welcomed to Kentucky by
his whilom opponent Henri Waiter
son, who presided over the meeting,
Other speakers, preceding Bryan, were
Carmaek OF Tennessee and
Stone of Missouri. Bryan, before max
ing his formal speech, read a statement
In which he declared that, regarding
railroad ownership by the government,
his New York speech stated exactly
what he wanted TO state and he has
nothing TO modify or withdraw. Bryan's
speech was in the nature OF an elab-
,ration Of the ideas presented In his
Sew York speech.
