NEW YORK, August. 10--There was a
demoralized tone in the short session of the
stock market today as a wlndup to a week
of disorder. In the last five minutes of the
session the bears bought with some reck-
lcssness to reap the rich profits accrued
from the extensive fall in prices. With that
exception there was no effective buying at
any time. and prices crumbled away almost
uninterruptediy under a flood of sales in
all variety OF sizes.
The Pacific railroad stocks and the copper
industrials showed the most acute weak

The weakness In copper and iron metal
markets continues to be disturbing fea-
ture, not only In trade. but also in the
stock market There has been no effort to
conceal the facts about iron. but wholesale
lying has been INDUCED in to deceive the
public as to the real conditions relating to
copper The literature and statements sent
out from the headquarters Of the great
producing and selling companies have been
a tissue Of falsehoods. 1t would have been
much better If the truth had been admitted
from the start and the public correctly
advised. AS matters now stand consumers
are convinced that by holding off they will
be able to obtain supplies at a very ma
terial further shrinkage. The claim that
% cents or anywhere near 1t Is being paid
for copper is shallow pretense. Plenty OF
copper is being hawked around at % cents
and under: possibly not in 10000 900 pound
lots but enough to keep the industrial
wheels moving. Meantime stocks of the
metal are accommodating and the drift is still
downward The producers and selling
companies are trying their best to
strengthen their combination and make a
grand stand for sustained prices. but there
seems to be many a leak in the arrange
ment through which copper finds Its way
into the hands of buyers. The gentlemen's
agreement to keep up prices is in a state
of perennial rupture.

MESA
NEW OPERA HOUSE.

The workrnen on the new opera house which John Vance is erecting in Mesa are now getting to a point where their work shows. Much time was en- ployed in getting the basement ex- cavated and cemented, the erection of the tanks and pumping plant and in framing the dimension timbers. With in the past two days they have been setting up the frame work and it will not be long now until the building will be under roof. Of course there is much yet to do. and it will be late in the season before the house will be ready to open to the public. When completed the building will be one hundred feet square, capable of handling the largest crowd that can be expected in Mesa until the town has grown considerably The local politicians. expect to secure this house for their meetings when it is completed and hope that possibly it will be used for some of the territorial conventions

mer in California and Colorado, hand ternoon he met with the board of di- rectors of the Tempe Melon Growers association in the canal office and had a long and heart to heart talk with them. In view of the very unsatisfac
 tory returns from last years crop, it is only natural that Tempe growers should pay some attention to the out look for next year. The fact that they are sitting up and taking notice is re- sponsible for MT. PearsOn's visit here. He yesterday made the association a proposition but whether or not it will be accepted remains to be seen. The board is not acting hurriedly in the matter but is taking time to make careful study of every clause of the Crutchfield-W -WoolfOlk contract and if such a contract is entered into by the association it will be because the members feel confident that in so do- ing. they are acting for the best in- terests of the association as q whole.
 On his part. Mir. Pearson yesterday said to the reporter a great deal that he did not intend for publication. He did say, however, that from what he could see and hear, the Salt River val icy was one of the best localities for -he growing of cantaloupes in the country.

 and in Tempe and Mesa. As for the pianist, one has not es yet been se- lected for the company, but Prof.
 Heinrichs standing as a musician will warrant this important part of the program being as well represented as the balance.

 It is the intention of Prof. Heinrich to give series of concerts in Tempe throughout the winter at regular in- tervals. and he should certainly re- ceive the generous support of the en- tire community. Nothing of the kind has ever been attempted here before and the attendance next Monday night should be such as to encourage Prof Heinrich to carry out his plans. Tick cts will be on sale at Laird & Dimes. For full information see other parts of this paper. The program will com nrence sharp at S:15 and will be over not later than 9:45.
