THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Aug I4.--Tradinr in the stock market today was active and sensa- tional toward the close. when heavy losses were registered. under a flood of liauida-- tion orders. The day's developments were for the most part distinctly unfavorable embracing as they did the announcement of receivership proceedings against very prominent New England manufacturing con- cern, whose embarrassment was brought about by lack of working capital
 It is generally known that in the present rations in all parts of the country are ex- perfencing much difficulty in financing their legitimate requirements. So urgent have the needs of some of these corpora ttons become that all sorts of inducements to attract capital have been offered. Senti- mept was also adversely affected by the failure of the treasury department to take action leading to the relief of the money market. It was hoped. that some word of encouragement might come from Oyster Bay regarding the governments attitude towards the so-called trusts. but up to the close of the market no message was forth coming.
 The market held moderately firm in the early session. but in the final hour under a succession of concerted bear attacks, to- gether with enforced liquidation, prices broke from two to seven points in almost all the active issues while many of the special ties fell with greater violence.
 The late break was attended by rumors, soem of which hinted at serious trouble in commercial circles in this and adjacent cit ies. Inquiries among the leading financial institutions. however. failed to elicit any confirmation of these reports. The closing was extremely active and with a slight ral- 1y resulting from covering of short con- tracts. The level recorded at the end of the day was the lowest. in many instances, for six years. nT fact. not a few issues sold as low in the memorable panic of May. 1901.
 The days business aggregated almost one million shares. Some of the days extreme declines, include: Amalgamated Copper S2: Union Pacific. pfd. T: Union Pacific exc; American Smelling 6%: Reading 6h; Great Northern pfd. 6k; Delaware and Hudson 6%; Brooklyn Transit 5: and New York Central 4h.
 In the special class the losses were even greater. extending to 12 points in Third Avenue. On "a single transaction Wells Fargo stock broke 20 points. and others so called investment Issues suffered heavily.
 Conditions in the money market were nominally unchanged. In reality ali time accommodations were stiffer. practically few over time loans being made at less than I per cent.
 The bond market waswe ak in sympathy with the movement in stocks. Total sales par value were $1.s12.00o United States government bonds were unchanged.

CHAMPION FlaHERMAN John
T. Sanders holds the record for big
catches Of trout ON Beaver creek this
year. He went spa* Saturday and
fshed half day aud also flshed few
hours Sunday, quitting at noon, but
he landed fifty fish, ranging in size
from seven inches to sixteen inches.
Two Of them weighed two pounds each
and several were nearly 80 large. He
filled his trout basket twice and in
the last days fishing he had one more
fish than lie could get in the basket.
He did not weigh the fish but esti-
mates that they would tip the scale
at forty pounds. Mr.. Sanders and
Ira Burroughs have each claimed to
be the champion trout fishermen in
Fremont county and the test is soon
to be made. Mr.. Burroughs has chal-
lenged to have it out with the man
who daily grinds out Justice, and the
date will be one Of the days within
the next two weeks.

THIS COUNTY WILL
BOON COPPER MINES

Fremont county Il bound to become
~ famous for it, copper ~ Teller
county is for It's gold, a. the copper
il At Red Gulch, in the western part
Of the county, and the right kind
Of men are behind 1t to push matters
and bring it successfully into promi-
nence as copper producing section.
A poetoffice has been granted and a
town site il being surveyed 70 be
known az Copper Field. A telephone
line IL now being built into the dis
trict which will be in operation very
soon thus connecting the dist riot
with the outside world. Papers are
being drawn to incorporate an cleo
trio company for the purpose Of light
ing and installing lioisting machinery
In mines The mines which are caus-
ing this excitement In the Red Gulch
district are those Of the Red Gulch
Copper Mining company. A force
Of men are employed sinking the shaft
deeper, drifting and croes-cutting.
This company made . record shipment
. few days ago and are preparing to
send another which they think will
be still better. The Copper Prince
Mining and Smelling company is
probably the most active one in the
district. They have struck vein on
Copper Prince No. 8, which promises
to be great producer and it is pre-
dicted that it will prove more
valuable than Copper Prince No. 1.
They are advertising for bids to sink
q 25O-foot shaft on their new strike.
Two carloads arc being hauled to
Cotopaxi for shipment to the United
States smelter. One cars will be Of
high grade ore.
The Colorado Mining and smelt-
ing company IL perhaps the wealthiest
company In the camp They are
sinking . shaft TO water level when
they will cron-cut the Springfield
vein. This shaft IL being pushei
With all possible speed, day aud night
shifts being employed.
Great things are being expected Of
this company before the summer ID
over. Seventy-hve to one hundred
men arc employed In the mines Of the
district and in prospecting. A num-
ber are being added each day. Last
week tho district was visited by sev.
eral syndicates with experts -, one
from Denver and another from Boston
Both made oflen for property. but at
present we are unable to say whether

OHIO LIQUOR LICENSE LAW VALID.
Test Case Brought to Decide Legality of
Advance to $1,000 from $500.

Cincinnati, Jan. 2-The Superior Court o-day
sustained the validity of the Akin law, which
raised the liquor tax from $500 to $1,000 This
the most important pending in the
court, for on the fate of this case depended an
extra session of the Legislature being called to
act scores of bills which We're in the same
situation the Aiken law. The decision Is
based on the doctrine that legislative record
which appears to be properly verified could not
be attacked by parole evidence.
The case will be taken to the Supreme Court.
The plaintiff is Bernard Wrede, a saloonlleeper
of Cincinnati, who sought to enjoin collection of
the increased tax. BY consent of all concerned
this was regarded test case.
The main point depended by the interests
which desired TO have the bill declared invalid
was claim that the late Governor Pattison
was not in condition of health to know the
contents of the bill when it was taken to him
by Senator HouCk. his private secretary and
that consequently it did not within thet
provision of the law which says the states chief
executive shall have full knowledge OF every
bill which is presented to him for executive
action.
Members of the late Governor Pattisons fam
lily and his physicians called to testify
TO his physical condition during the time when
'the Akin bill was in possession of his secretary.
