 CHICAGO, May 2S.-Prices are back where they were last Saturday The selling was oyerdone then, and cold weather Monday morning made may of the shorts pay dear for press ing the market on the dips. There is no likelihood that such weather as shown on the map Monday will again be experienced, but the pit conditions are much the same as they were late in the week. Many of the outsiders who have been most active traders for weeks got out of their holdings when the market was over the dollar mark. They are showing the right kind of Judgment by not getting in too soon again on the buying side until the weather conditions are discounted. The ofgeign crop review of today was q little less bullish than hereto fore. The forecasts for rising temper atures and showers over the west tonight have much to do with bear ish feeling on the local trade during the day. Should very fine weather. with warm rains spread over the en- tire west, there may be further re- action and short selling, but such tac- tics will soon put the market in such shape where the biggest buyers in the trade will be ready to take hold again.

RESIGNS AS MANAGER
 FOR PERSONAL REASONS
lawandowski Has Mining h. tereStS Demanding His
 Attention Now.

The Paradise Record has the fol lowing concerning the resignation of J. A. Lewandowski. from position of general manager of the Savage: "J. A. Lewanuowski, for nearly three and one-half years general man. ager of the Savage Gold & Copper Co.,. has resigned the management of that property; and will devote his attention to mining properties owned by him in this district and in Sonora. The Savage owes it's existence. and in very large measure what sue. cess it has attained, to Mir. Lewan- dovski, who organized the company in 1904. During his management, the property has grown from I3 claims the number the group comprised at organization-to 53 claims, the present holdings of the company. It has also grown from mere nothing to property admitted to be among the formost in the Chiricahuas. A vast amount of work mas been done, and the Snowball snart-wnere a vein of rich ore 23 feet in width has been stopped out-is alone sufficient that, as some of the ore is very rich, to indicate that the company has a mine. To show for this work 1t is estimated that there are about 2000 tons of ore on the various dumps; economical treatment of the whole on the ground will yield net returns equal to 80 per cent of the total ex- penditure. At any taue. there is con siderable ore carrying high values in silver, as well as copper, on the dumps
 "The company is the only one in the district that has operated exten- sively, without intermission, for up
 wards of three years-with force of ! from half dozen men to 35 or 40 1 The affairs of the company were in
 the meantime conducted in a busi ness-like manner, and the credit of | the company has aways been con sidered gilt-edgeu. To accomplish this
 has been no small task, and to MT Lewandowski a large portion of the credit is due.
 "A mining engineer or experience, energetic, persevering and of unques- toned ability MT. Lewanlowski pos sesses valuable qualities that will be missed by the company. in whose interests he has been continually zealous. His many friends who ad. mire these qualities will be glad to know that Mir. Lewandowsh will retain his interests in this district The Savage is an excellent prop erty and is deserving of the greatest of success-which the entire district is unanimous in the hope that it will have. Nor should it be forgotten that the directors anI stockholders Are also deserving 0f credit Tor what has been accomplished during the past three years.
 For the present, James Reay, mine superintendent, is acting as general manager"

 SHOW LOW RECORDS
Too Many Sellers In the Market For Good of Stocks,
 Prices Lower.
(By Frank J. Graf.)

The sellers ruled the market today as heretofore. but from indications there were too many. The local mar ket is at standstiII, with the excep- tion of c. & A. and Sup. in the Cole stocks, and Denn and Shattuck in the Shattuck stocks. Cal. & Ariz. closed at s160 bid, while Superior & Pitts. went begging at s16. Denn Arizona is without demand, last sales being made at sS.S7, while Shattuck Arizona is in good demand at $30, with nothing coming out under S30.50. but bidders fail to go over the $50 mark. North Butte declined a point, as well as Butte Coal. The Boston market suffered considerably, as we'll as the New York market, both show ing some new low records since the first of the year.

JAMES DOUGLAS ON COPPER
 PRICES
Looks for Early Return to Heavy Demand for Metal DulIneSS a Reflection of Bad Crop Reports.

Professor James Douglas, head or the Phelps-Dodge interests in the Southwest. arrived in Bisbee Sunday evening from Douglas n the speelai gar ..sSacozari.s Mir. Douglas has not been in this section for two months and during that time has made a trip to England. He expects to be in BIS bee for a few days and then will leave for Nacozari and later pay a visit 10 Globe.
 The Professor was at the svn~rai offices of the company few minutes last evening where he was seen oy q Review representative.
 How are arraifs in the east, Pro lessor? asked the reporter
 "I have been very busy with per sonal affairs since l was in BisDee last which required a visit to England and | have not had the opportunity to pay much attention to conditions in the east"
 How about the price of copper?''
 .The market is a peculiar one in many ways. It is noticeable that there is very little sale of copper at present prices although there is no noticeable decrease in consumption. A short while ago eight or nine steel furnaces closed down but these are gain running full blast and the de mand for copper should be as heavy as ever, but it appears the consumers are inclined to postpone their pur- chases and while copper is still quoted at 25 cents the sales recorded are few and far between"
 You have noticed the recent slump in copper shares including Greene Canane North Butte, Amalgamated and others?' asked the reporter.
 T very seldom look at the price of the copper stocks" replied the head of the Copper Queen company. When he was told the figures record ed by the slump during the last ten days he expressed surprise.
 Asked his opinion of the ueciIne in the good coppers the Professor said he believed it was a sympathetic decline brought on, no doubt. by the unfavorable crop reports, which in the event of crop failures, meant de- creased earnings for railroads who would in turn reduce expenditures ter betterments, requiring that much less steel and copper, and necessary de crease in the demand.
 As president of the El Paso & Southwestern railroad and president of the Phelps-Dodge Mining companies in Arizona Professor Douglas is 8 busy man in one of his regular visits to this section. He has been making these trips at intervals for the past twenty-five years and today is ap- parently as active as ever.

Bay State Politics.

The fact that Ex-Governor William
L. Douglas of Massachusetts has an
nounced his willingness to accept Il
Democratic nomination for governor
next fall undoubtedly indicates that he
believes he can be elected, and his
faith seems to be cheering the old Bay
State Democrats amazingly. 1t Will
be remembered that in 1904. while
Colonel Roosevelt carried Massachu-
sets by nearly 100000 majority. Doug
las carried it by about sc, 900. In 1905
and 1905 he declined to be Il candidate
for the gubernatorial nomination. Gov
ernor Curtis Guild, Jr.. who is now
serving his second term and who is
said to covet the Republican vice pres
idential nomination, will unguestiona
bly, be nominated for third guberna
torial term, as that is the habit In
Massachusetts. So that if Douglas
and Guild make the race the prize will
be not only the governorship, but
vice presidential nomination also. for
if Douglas wins in the fail the chances
are that he can have the Democratic
vice presidential nomination by saying
that he will accept it, and if Guild
loses the gevernorship he will be out of
the running for the vice presidential
nomination.

gressive So far as | know, he is
the only man that ever caught Hon.

gress. This dispatch shows that he
knows how to use vigorous English:
Washington, April 1S.-Representative
Oscar w. Gillespie of Texas, a member of
the house committee on banking and cur
rency, speaking of the action of Secretary
Cortelyou in coming to the aid of Wall
street in its two recent f1urries, said:
eff any other president except Roose-
welt had turned the treasury over to Wall
street as Secretary Cortelyou has done, it
would be denounced from one end of the
country to the other. Wall street is now
claiming it wants the government to pay
S175,000. coo government bonds, due July /,
on the ground that this will ease the
money market.
}
soon as the panic is past Wall street will
demand that refunding bonds be issued !;
that this debt be not paid, but simply re-
newed. Of course the debt ought to be
paid. With a surplus of $3.50 900, 600 in the
treasury this debt and all others ought to
be paid. This surplus is ample enough to
pay for the digging of the Panama canal
as we proceed and when finished not owe
one cent on it if Wall street would per-
NIT it.
Instead of such a sensible plan we re-
quire the secretary of the treasury. as
soon as he makes payments on the canal,
to issue bonds to recover the money paid
into the treasury.
1.-THE Aldrich bill passed at the last SEES
sion of congress turning over to the banks
the customs receipts as well as Internal
revenue receipts. heretofore practfced,
was at the demand of Wall street. This
takes out of the hands of the government
the control of the gold supply.
They say we need no such control, be
cause all of our money is upon a gold
basis. This is true in theory, but not in
fact. We have declared by statute for the
gold standard. but have not provided any
gold supply for meeting the gold obliga-
tons of the government, except the $780,
900 to pay upon demand the 1916, 600 900
in greenbacks. But under the ruling of
the secretary of the treasury, from Mr..
Carlisle down, every silver dollar is re-
deemable on demand in gold, as well as
every national bank note
Nobody will have any difficulty in as
certaining what Gillespie is driving at
His statements are clear as crystal.
He might have added that the treasury

Homer sometimes mods. Ditto the
editor of the st. Louis Globe-Demo-

this editorial paragraph:
The late Galusha A. Grow lacked only
one vote of defeating Andrew Johnson for
the vice presidential nomination in 1864.
A better illustration of the tremendous
Importance of single vote cannot be

That would indeed be fine illustra-
ton of the tremendous Importance Of

it is not. Nobody came within one

Ar Eye Opener For Stand Patters.

The shouting of the Republican cap
tains in the Roosevelt Foraker feud
the Roosevelt Hartman feud and in
other feuds in which Republican big
wigs are indulging has somewhat OBJ
scured the questions of tariff revision
and reciprocity temporarily, but never
theless and Notwithstanding these
questions. like the poor, we have with
us always and will have until they are
settled right. Even so stanch n stand
patter as Hon. John DaiZell of Pitts
burg is beginning to sit up and take
notice. He recently stated that. while
he could see no reason for revision of
the tariff himself, there is such wide
spread demand for it that he supposed
something in that line must be at
tempted just after the inauguration Of
a president March 4, 1909 Even that
is a wonderful concession from Broth
err DalZell.
The following dispatch may set other
stand patters to studying the situation
in new light:
Chicago, April 12.-Tariff revision along
the lines of reciprocity with Canada and
the countries of South America was IA
vorably discussed at the convention of
the Millers' National federation today.
An amendment to the pure food law re-
quiring that the weight of each package
of food product offered to the public be
printed on the outside of the package was
also favored. Yesterday the convention
reelected the twelve directors whose
terms had expired. Today. however. this
action was rescinded, and number of
new directors were chosen. This action
was taken because 1t was held that the
association might become unprogressive
on account of the constant service of the
same directors.
Now. the sort of revision which Mr..
Dalzell and his coworkers would bring
about would not scare the stand patters
out of a years growth. Quite the con-
trary, for his plan is to confne reel
procity to reciprocity in noncompeting
articles, which is next to nothing, while
the millers' convention mentioned in
the foregoing dispatch is in favor of
reciprocity in competing articles. So
wags the world, and so are issues tax
ing shape
