Big NEW ICE PLANT ASSURED.
II viii be Located Al East Union Mills.


Mr.. j. b. Nalty president Of
the East Union Lumber and Man
ufacturing Co., closed a deal yes.
terday with the DeLeverne Ice
Manufacturing Co, of New York,
for the machinery for fifty ton
ice plant, which is to be located
just south of the East Union Plan
ing Mill in this city.
The machinery is of the very
latest and most approved pattern
and everything about the plant
will be modern and up to date.
The buildings for the new factory
will be of brick throughout and
the work of construction will be-
gin next week. The whole plant
is to be completed and ready for
operation by Feb. 1st, and will be
one of the largest ice factories in
the State.
Mr.. Nalty will be the chief
stockholder in this splendid new
enterprise, which will cost some
where in the neighborhood of
$50, 900, but several other we'll
known Brookhaven citizens will
also take some stock, thus making
1t home enterprise throughout.
Mr. Mark Hazel, an experienced
ice manufacturer, has been secur-
ed as superintendent.
The projecting Of the new fac
tory means that another season
Brookhaven will have an abun-
dance of the finest ice at low rates.
The fuel will be supplied by the
waste from the East Union Plan
ing Mill, which, to most ice facto-
ries, is the heaviest item of ex-
penSe.

Financial News Letter
By W. @. NICHOLAS.

by w. e. NICHOLAS.
NEW YORK, February IL, 1908.
The official announcement stripped the
glamour from the big copper merger about
which Wall street has been so excited for
several weeks. The figure paid for the
Heinze properties In and around Butte was
definitely stated to be s2eooo.ooo. of which
$4,000 is TO be applied to the retire
ment of the bonds of the United Copper
Company. The remainder goes into the
treasury of that corporation. and it is said
with some show OF authority that the pre-
ferred stock amounting to S5.000ooo. Will
be retired. That would leave SIG, 10000
of the purchase money In the treasury,
and would allow a distribution of 30 per
cent to the holders of the sI5.Vo,0o0 com
mon stock outstanding. OF this issue h.
Augustus Heinze has S25. coo 900 in one
block and probably $5,000.Oo0 additional
Apparently that gives him Sl100o,o00 as his
Individual share in the transactions. In
addition thereto he had a two-thirds inter-
est in the other treasury and corporation
assets. The company is supposed to have
s.. 500. 600 in cash, besides the amount above
mentioned, and it owns mining properly
In Montana and British Columbia of more
or less value. The Heinze people aSsev-
crate that these properties are more valu-
able than those that have been sold, but
this remains to be demonstrated. Aladdin
like stories have been told of fabulous
strikes in one of the mines but the CORE
spondence in the newspapers which make
a speciality of mining matters is entirely
free from Mysteries In regard thereto.
The La France, which has been adver-
tised as one of the assets of United Conner
is only partly owned by that corporation,
the HeinZe brothers owning the control in
individually. It is on the program for
United Copper to take over the La France
group. Minority shareholders are curious
to know whether this deal will involve
merely an issue of new United Copper stock
or the transfer of a large chunk
of company money to the individual
bank account of r. Augustus Heinze
and his two younger brothers I'm
certainty on this point has been reflected
In the quotations of the stock in New York
Boston and Pittsburg. Another feature
which adds to the uneasiness of minority
stockholders is the amount of the subscrip-
ton which United Copper or the inside
holders thereof are under contract to take
in the new holding company formed to
take over the Heinze Interests Desperate
EFFORTS nave been made for several weeks
pF the Hefnze party to distribute high
priced shares in United Copper and there
Is good reason to believe that the campaig1,
was measurably successful, although the
manipulation was SO patent that many
speculative lines were dumped on the in
Slders at top figures. 1t is therefore prob
able that the Heinzes played back a large
snare of their paper profits in sustaining
an artificial market

The heavy and persistent selling of steel
stocks which has been going on for a week
or more is largely for account of specialists
In the iron and steel trade. Those in closest
touch with trade conditions seem to have
detected slight cooling of the atmosphere
They will not admit that there has been a
turn In the situation, but frankly say that
they notice a slackening of high pressure
enthusiasm. The pig iron market seems to
be more nearly on an even keel than for a
good while back. This, the experts say,
does not necessarily signify that the boom
in the iron and steel business has culmi-
mated or that there is to be important re-
action. 1t is altogether unlikely that orders
on the books of the steel trust or of the
smaller companies will be as large in vol
ume on the first of April as they were on
the first of January but that is to be ex-
pected. Bookings were very generally made
for the year, and the reduction in the
total Will merely represent orders filled, or
in other words the first quarters manu-
featured product. The heayiness OF the big
steel stocks had a depressing effect on the
entire market. and added no little to the
creation of a rather bearish feeling among
the professional element.

There Is a feeling that the market Is too
full of deals" for its own good. Not less
than half a dozen active stocks have been
doomed out of all reason solely on dear
talk. People are getting tired of it. and
wondering If the realization will come up
to expectations 1t Is more than likely
that in many cases every possible good that
would come from pending deals has been

Cause of Disappointment.

Cause of disappointment.
The reception by the market OF some or
the events of the week offers examples OF
The feeling about the prices of stocks which
have been brought about by the eNpecta-
ton OF these events. The settlement of the
contest over copper properties In Montana
has been long expected. and the rumorS re-
gardinE it have furnished some OF the most
important ammunition for the conduct OF
the speculative campaign. The formal an
unuUcegncnt OF The terms OF the settlement
was met by wide declines In the stocks al
fected. The same was true of the action OF
the Union Pacific directors in raising The
dividend rat uu that stock 10 q per cent A
comparison of some Of the reports I'm ctICN-
4tiuu before these happenings with the
actual results reveal a degree of eN3sSera-
ton leaving room for much d appointment
on the part Of previous buyers. But the
market movement IS attributed to the opeI-
alton OF the rule of specu atiNe operators
10 sell on good news in order TO realize
their profits The object lesson OF the e.
feet uu the stocks mentioned has had its IN
fUeucp ON other stocks In which important
happenings are expected bat are not yet
announced They have been sold II the
fear that the effect ON their prices OF ma
turing projects also has been fully dis
counted.
The same speculative attitude is main
tsIned toward the statistics coming 10
hand az the prosperous conditions existing
I'm many departments. Iron and stee. stocks
have declined I'm face OF the January pro-
durf.on uf pig irou rising TO a record for
amy month at zoos, 500 tons and a weekly
capacity active on Februry I showing
further increase In output. Gross earnings
OF railroads for the first week OF Feb

THE FOREIGN MARKETS
PAST WEEK EXTREMELY DULL
ON LONDON CHANGE.

Special Cahlegram to The Star.
LONDON, February 17.-Business IN the
stock exchange this week has been ex-
trenely dull. and at the close about all
quoted stocks are a trife lower than last
Saturday a great variety of causes are as
signed for the stagnation. For example.
the situation at AIgecras is said to have re-
strained home operators from investment
and speculation, and others are reported to
have a certain amount of anxiety lest the
kings speech next Monday may contain
something likely to injuriousiy affect mar
ket values. while others are said 10 view
with alarm the shrinkage in the South Al
rican market but the combined effect of
the influences mentioned and others that be-
long in the same category appears so slight
when measured in the price movements OF
the week that IL seems probable the real
cause of the inactivity lies in the continued
stringency of the money market.
Apparently there is no serious apprahen-
sion that values will yield to any great ex-
tent; on the contrary. feeling of quiet
confidence seems to prevail that when
money becomes easy again business will
brighten up but nobody pretends to know
when this period of easy money will come
Some say ii will not come until the man
ufacturers whose borrowings have caused
the stringency shall have begun to pay off
their loans out of their profits. There has
been considerable falling of in me de-
mand for consols and other gllt-edge Sc
curities, but it has not been accompanied by
any pronounced decline in prices. The
movement of foreign government stocks
has been of slight Importance, but the tone
of the market has been fairly good. Brit
ish rails have done poorly the demand for
them being extremely small, and 1t is said
that there has been considerable closing of
bull commitments.
The Americans as a rule have been Gull,
but Northern Pacific has been a prominent
exception.
Unmitigated gloom has hung over the
