EXPLAINS HIS POSITION.
Inspector Ashford Tells Why School
Buildings Have Not Been Repaired.

Snowden Ashford. District building in
spector, speaking of the condition of the
Central High School and the Thomson
School. recently under discussion, said
that aithouh he does not desire to enter
INTO a prolonged controversy, he is anx-
ious Tor the board Of education to know
the facts regarding the condition of the
schools under their care. He said that the
board of education recently made a re-
quest for an appropriation of $40 900 to
repair the Central High School There is
available only Sc, 900 for the repair of
all the schools of the District. ne ex-
piained, and to apply $40 900 of that
amount on one building would not only be
lmpracticabie, Dut would mean that other
buildings would have TO go without re-
pairs.
He recognizes the fact that Central
Is in urgent need of repairs, the building
having been erected twenty-seven years
ago. He said he had already spent more
than STpo this year for the repair of
plumbing at the building. greater part
of which was ruined by pouring acid into
the zinc from the laboratories.
Regarding the criticism by Capt. Oyster,
president OF the board of educa ton of the
di,apidated condition and the much need
ed repairs to the Thomson school. the
building inspector says he considers it
as 1t has been recommended by the board
Of education 20 be abandoned as soon as
practicable.
When asked for an expression of opin-
ion upon his criticism of the building in
spector, Capt Oyster said he had no
more to say, but that he would continue
his personal inspection of the school
buildings, and will report his findings at
the regular meetings Of the board of edu-
cation.

CHANGE IN BERLIN MARKET.

BERLIN, October 29.--The discount
rate of the Imperial Bank OF Germany
was raised today from 51s TO 6la per cent.
1t is significant Of the changed situation
in the market here that the advance was
a full per cent, whereas the bank, Octo-
ber II. only discussed raising the rate
one-half of 1 per cent The change is
directly due to New York's demand for
gold. which it is feared here will lead to
gold exports from Germany.
TIE exchange rates of all the leading
countries are now above the gold point
The market had expected the German
bank to await the Bank of England's &C

Trading OH the hourse today was very
quiet The advance Of the discount rate
Of the Imperial Eank Of Germany from
5ts to 0la per cent had only a slight IN
f1uence on prices. The private discount
rate was 4 per cent higher.
President Koch Of the Imperial Bank
in proposing to the executive committee
the advance In the discount rate, called
attention to the fact that the position OF
the bank had grown weaker compared
with previous years. He said the mar
gin OF uncovered notes had increased
gold In small amounts already had been
shipped abroad. heavy pressure on the
bank was expected at the end of the
month. and the rise in foreign exchanges
particularly on New York. Paris. Amster-
dam. London and Italian centers. together
with the rising tendency of the open
market discount rate in Berlin, make an
advance of the official rate necessary
which must be full per cent In order
TO be effective.

A1RsHIPs IN WARFARE.
Declared to Be Antidote for Subma-
rine Boats by Admiral Chester.

NEW YORK, October ga specially
appointed committee yesterday introduced
the following resolution at the third in
ternationaI aeronautical congress, now in
session in this city,:
Resolved by the International aero
nautical congress assembled at New
York, That the President of the United
States be requested to call the attention
of Congress to the advisability OF Prov =
ing the departments of the government
charged with these duties funds sufficient
to establish aAronauttcal plants COM
mensurate with those of other nations
That the dirlgihle war balloon has about
reached the limit of its development. for
the present at least. was the opinion ex-
pressed by President Willis l.. Moore.
"Dirigtble war balloons have been de-
veloped TO an inherent speed o. twenty
eight to thirty miles an hour said he.
'"fhis is not likely to be exceeded very
soon. for although the possible speed in
creaseS with the size, the danger and diff
culties of handling such fraii structures
increase also. II is probable that the Yep
pel!n airship, 4lS feet long and 3SE feet
in diameter is On the border of impracti-
cability The present speed may prove
but 1t remains to be ascertaned BY test
to what height balloons will have to as
cend to be reasonably safe from gunfire
and what winds will thus be encoun-
tered"
Rear Admiral c. NJ Chester. U. S. NJ
discussing 1.-The Airship for the l|avy."
said he believed the 'airship Is to be-
come the antidote for the submarine"
He said he has heard so much of tie
| heavier -than-air" apparatus that he Is
astonished 1t has not ueen given wider
consideration by both branches Of the
service.
The navy must go deeply into the sub
ject of aeronautics. he declared, and add
ed that the secret history of the Russo
Japanese war. just coming to light. shows
that captive balloons were much used and
did excellent service.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The upward movement in copper stocks
which was feature of the general mar
ket yesterday, was attributed to the large
sale of that metal abroad. 1t was noted
al the same time as quite a coincidence
that the recovery In the stock market
should begin with those securities, as the
decline in them was the first unfavorab Bile
development in business preceding the late
slump outside OF the liquidation IN the
stock market.
These securities shared in the falling of
In prices which took place during the day.
The copper stocks listed on the local ex-
change showed no effect of this movement
In the general market No change was
made today in the figures for Greene Cop
per as compared with those of yesterday
and there were no transactions.
In the case of Mitchell Mining the quo
tations were not altered, except after a
sale of a ne-hundredshare lot. which
was the only transaction of the day in
this stock. The bid continued at q and
the asking price at l.
The only animation shown by the orok-
ers during the session was manifested
whcu Mergcnthaler was called. Several
brokers wanted small lots. one and two
and five shares, and they were willing to
pay between 19S and 100. The supply at
such figures was limited.
With this exception there was tut little
SFlO3ECe OF LllS market lot securities III
small lots which has characterized what
little trading has been done FOR the past
day or SO. As all purchases at this time
must be with cash, and as marginal buy
ing is not now the practice, It appears
that buyers, instead OF putting al the
money they have to invest in one or two
securities. are selecting a number and
buying one or two or more shares OF each.
This principle Is being applied to the Sc
curites on the local list. although not In
great volume, but whatever buying there
IS at this time seems to be Of that char
acter.

COPPER METAL UP TO IA.
Sales of Over 100000 Pounds
Made at Rising Prices.

NE" YORK, October 29.-The great ac.
tlVity of the copper market which
swamped the selling agencies with or.
GERS on Friday continued undated yes
terday and sales in this city amounted
TO more than 30 10000 pounds of copper
80 great was the demand that Phelps
bodge & Co, one of the largest producers
raised the price from 13 cents, the quota
llon IN the opening morning hours, or
successive advances OF Il of point until
at the close or the day sales were made al
fraction over II cents. Friday the
price was 12N cents
or the 30 000,000 pounds sold yesterday
about third consisted of a sale made BY
one nrm to go to China Of the rest q
small part was for EXPORT to Europe and
the rest for domestic use
The strength In New York is largely ar
outcome of the active speculative bull
market in London. This movement was
continued there yesterday and both spo,
copper and futures advanced on sales in
large quantity to a quotation more than
above last weeks closing. Consumers
here are also beginning to see that in the
early months of 1908 they will feel strong
Iy the decrease In output that has been
ordered in the copper mines. This shut
ting down OF work will leave very little
output OF the metal to the credit of the
month Of November and by next Janu.
ary. when the output of November would
nave come on the market, consumers will
probably find that the supply is consider.
able below the demand.
The closing quotation In London yester-
day was f61 los. for spot and f62 fol
futures. Sales were 400 tons of spot anG
1000 tons of futures.
Tin in London also made a sensational
advance, making a gain in the day from
seven to eight pounds. This was partly
lost before the close, but spot made net
gain of s5 is. and futures of t8 1js Spell
ter in London was unchanged at Ell 15s
