BUTTONS STOCK LETTER.

Special Wire to Duey & Overlook )
 NEW YORK, April 19.-The market proved very uninteresting today, though the volume of trade was larger than yesterday. The rise in values continued against the short interest, and that is all that can be said. Im- portant interests were apparently do- Ing nothing. Probably the only fac tor in the way of news was continued bad crop reports from the West, which had a dampening effect on sentiment generally. No effort was made to drive the short interest in, and traders bought stocks for the turn only. The carly hank figures indicate a gain of 8, ,750, 900 for the week. The bank statement should be fairly good. We are in a trading market, and advant- age should be taken of a reasonable decline to buy stocks.

AMERICANS ID SPEND
 s25,O0O,00O IN LONDON
One Hundred Thousand Tour iStS Already Booked for
 Britain'S Shores.

| LONDON, April 19.-The presence of the colonial premiers for the con. | ference will be the cause of a large amount of entertaining, but more than anything else in the coming season Londoners are looking forward to a record influx of Americans as the back bone of the summers prosperity. The Tribune in an editorial re- marked:
 Not an insignificant item in the balance of trade between the United States and Great Britain is the ex- penditures in this country of American tourists, and figures amply justify the statement. Already more than 100, 900 Americans are booked for the conti- nent, and practically every one is ex- pected to do London on the trip"
 One expert says that 25,0O0, 900 is a conservative estimate of the money that will be spent by the ever-welcome American tourist. Inquiries of the shipping companies point the same way. The rush has begun earlier than usual. Berths have been booked so far ahead that already there is consider able difficulty in securing passages for June and July.
 The London hotels are joyfufly prS pairing to meet the demand.
 The West End shopping districts a so have an eye on the coming tide wave of American gold. And the mo tor car companies are preparing for a prosperous season. Mems tailors are looking forward to a welcome boom, but for the most part ccstumers and milliners do not seem to be particular ly interested in the approaching in- Yasion.
 American women do not shop much in London" said a West End costum- CT. Most of them who come to Lon- don are either going to Paris or have already been there. American wo- men occasionally buy tailor-made gowns here. but most of the articler of woman's apparel are bought in Paris"

GEOLOGICAL STUDIES AT ELY.

The new copper district at Ely, Nevada, which promises to become one of the greatest producers of cop per in that portion of the country, was visited last summer by MT. s. F. Emmons of the United States Geo logical Survey. His purpose was to determine the area that should be in cluded in a typographical map that will serve as a basis for the special geological study of the district. The typographical survey has since been completed, and it is hoped that it will be possible during the coming season, when the mines shall be actually work ing, to make an exhaustive examina- tion of the geology and ore deposits of the district. At the time of Mir. Emmons' visit, a railroad 140 miles long was building to develop the dis trict, and large concentrating and smelting plants were planned to treat the low-grade disseminated copper ores in porphyry that have been proved to exist there in large quantities.
