COPPER STOCK GOSSIP

: A new concern called the American
Copper company was Incorporated yes
terday in New Jersey. The object is to
mine, smelt and buy and sell all metals:
The capital is given as 800, 900 and
the names are all strange to finance,
which. is taken to mean that they are,
as usual, dummies, who will stand for
the original company, after which CAPT
talization will be increased and the
names of the real principals appear.
This is suggestive of a big consolida-
ton plan in copper.
Coincident with it came another re-
port of a strike of rich ore in the Ana
conda mine on the 2,400-foot level. No
one believes these reports any more, SO
many times has ore been struck of late,
Just prior to move in the stock mar
ket. Gates was a buyer of Anaconda.
The tip is out to buy Amalgamated for

turn of bullish manipulation In 1T after
the holiday. Some. announcement OF
a merger proposition will likely be
made after Tuesday next.
Best observers agree that the copper
stocks offer great opportunities, ano
they appeal to spectators who want
quick action, but they are extremely

MIR. LOWRY PLANS

Thomas sn Lowry eysry'n viii soon o' be Back at
work again, there is much discussion
in financial circles east and west OF his
plans for the future and his probable
attitude in the matter of increasing the
dividend on the 500 common stock. EX-
cessive dividends have never been a
feature of Lowry financing, the infiu-
ence being rather for conservatism and
the steady upbuilding of the property.
Bankers prefer to take the bonds OF
a railroad company on extensions which
are paying moderate rate OF dividend
on the common stock, if the company is
and which have large surplus, rather
than those of companies which are
straining themselves to maintain divl-
dends on their common stock at the
expense of the surplus account. As
president of the 500, Mr.. Lowry has
always found ready market for bonds
which he has offered, to- pay for I'M
sue of 500 bonds which he brought to
Wall street was promptly taken.
elf Mr.. Lowry is allowed to main
| tain his policy of keeping down the
| dividends on the common stock, ~ says
] the Wall Street Summary, "and keep
| ing the surplus account up to a high
average, he will receive just as ready
needed for the proposed extensions OF
between 200 and 800 miles as he die
for the bonds issued to pay for the i'm
portant extension which is practically
completed. Of course, all this does moi
mean that the next dividend on Sot
common stock will not be at hlghe
rate than per cent year, but WI
wish simply to repeat that conserva
! tive interests do not look for this
| change, in spite of the fact that me1
who have bought the stock for invest
ment at recent prices need high rat,
in order to get fair return on tn
price paid.'' 5.

CANADIAN PACIFIC RIGHTS

Following up the recent Great Nor
them melon cutting, in the form Of
rights, the Canadian Pacific comes for
ward with a proposition that will glad
den the hearts of the stockholders. It
will not compare with the Great Nor
thern distribution-in which the rights
had a selling value of $35 and approx
mated $49 IN value after contamination
Of the deal-but it will warrant a
quotation of $12, and. enable any
holder Of Canadian Pacific who may
rot want to subscribe for new stock to
sell his rights at a handsome profit.
Every holder will have the privilege
Of subscribing at par, in the proper
tion of one share of the new stock for
every five Of the old. Altho it is the
plan to incse.se the capitalization
from $110,O00,000 to $3.50. 100000 it is
understood that only $20,000.O0 of the
new stock will be distributed at this
time b.
Twelve dollars share, or the equiv.
;.lent of a dividend of - per cent.
would be. approximately the value If
the rights, on the basis of quotation
of 172 for Canadian Pacific.

ARGENTINE BULL NEWS

Some more wild news came yester.
day from Argentina. Slaughter OF
Chicago appeared to be getting it. Con-
servative traders fought shy. Slaughter
was a little mixed himself at first. and
said that his advices indicted reduc-
ton of 40 per cent in the Argentine
exportable wheat surplus, from earlier
estimates. These early, estimates were
for 112,000.000 bushels, for extreme
top. Later it was said the cable re-
ferred to the fax crop, not to wheat,
but still later there was said to be
confirmation of the original advices
which made the shortage in wheat.
The report was so sensational that
it defeated itself.
Covering this matter, Noyes wired
Piper as follows: cit seems hardly
credible that this cable reporting Ar
gentine surplus 40 per cent under last
year can be true, inasmuch as it comes
out of clear sky. We think foreign
markets would have had some knowl-
edge of this if true. and if so would not
be allowing cheap Manitoba wheat to

UNION PACIFIC BEARS

Bears in Union Pacific had hard
time Of trying to make some money on
the short side of the stock. It is us
ually accepted as the proper thing to
do, in a professional market way, to
nouncement of something exceptionally
good concerning it. Union Pacific
was tipped for dividend advance, and
when the men representing the heavy
interests Of the road got together in
New York, the move was to sell it, and
wait for the break following the an
nouncement. when the good news hav-
ing been discounted, the stock would
necessarily decline. This was the
professional traders way Of figuring it,
but it failed to come out that way,
since no dividend announcement was
made. d.
Northern Pacific was another stock
that kicked back on the bears and put
them to the bad all around. FS-s

MINNEAPOLIS OPTIONS
MINNEAPOLIS PRODUCE

The refusal of the railways to re-
celve shipments of fruit the first three
days Of this week materially affected
shipments to country points and was
bad handicap to the produce and
fruit business. Being out of fruit half
the time doesn It seem to have the eff
feet of doubling sales the other half.
Bananas are probably more affected by
extreme cold weather than any other
fruit, sales being extremely light. Sup
plies have been abundant, but prices
are held fairly. firm.
The variety list of apples is narrow
ing; Jonathans, Northern Spies and
Greetings are getting scarce, and may
soon be out altogether. Prices are
held very firm. Demand from country
points continues heavy The lower
grades are nearly all disposed of, quo
tations being almost wholly on strict
ly fancy stock.
Eggs were held very firm early in
the week and there seemed good pros
poets for a big advance in prices, but
heavy daily receipts had a weakening
died egg quotations were again re-
duced to the low point of the season.
Butter of all grades is firm. Extra
creamery is in especially good demand
and all receipts of that grade are
quickly absorbed. Fresh sweet pack
ing stock is also wanted and at prices
! somewhat higher than a week. ago. Re
ceipts of butter are under year ago.
| yet quotations on extra creameries are
almost 20 per cent less than in the cor
responding week year ago.
The poultry market was very &C
tive, with good advances in price on
| top grades of all lines. Dressed tur:
keys are very scarce, fancy and old
toms both a full cent higher. Fancy
spring chickens and fat old hens are a
cent to cent and one-half higher. The
demand for dressed is in excess Of sup
plies, but on live poultry it is more
difficult to make satisfactory sales
There have been unusually heavy re
ceipts of live poultry this winter, &C
counted for probably by the mildness
of the weather.
Fancy veal was in light supply an6
higher. On other grades the marke'
has been well supplied with no change
in quotations.
Potatoes remain unchanged as tt
quotations, but holders are anxious tt
sell and buyers are able to get sup
plies at from 2 to 8 cents lower thai
a week ago. ~ s,~
There has been fair movement il
beans, but quotations are considered

Second Ten-ThOusand-DOI Libel
Suit for Daily News POlit-
icaI story.

A result Of the wholesale trial and con-
viction in the columns of the Daily News
Of persons charged with illegal regstra-
ton last spring was. the fling yesterday of
the second libel suit against the junior
yellow. Charles c. Kehm is the plaintiff
and he asks for $4,000 for defamation of
his character by the mention he received
in connection with hysterical headlines and
half column of more or less defama-
tory statements regarding a long list of
people whose names were published
The suit grows out of the fact the sensa-
tional paper was not satisfied with saying
suit had been filed against the persons
whose names were given, but insisted on
trying and convicting them all Of gross
frauds"
Mr.. Kehm's name appeared in the list
and his address was given 174 Cunning
street. from which point the News de-
clared he had registered. The petition says
that for more than eight months prior to
the registration at which the frauds were
charged he had resided at 17l4 California
street and registered from there, and his
name appears on the registration books as
registering from that address. No Charles
c. Kehm is registered from the Cunning
street number. The defamatory article is
cited in full in the petition.
This is the second suit growing out Of
the publication of this article the first one
also being for $4,000 The registration cases
