New York, April 18.-For the sixth
successive business day recently, save
one. and that occasion a time when the
net change in prices for the day was
exceedingly trihing, the stock market
has declined. and the fall in the market
to-day was larger than it was on any
other day during the week. Reasons for
to-days acute weakness generally Of
fered were, in addition to the more or
less discouraged feeling which has no
doubt been engendered in speculative
circles by the continued heaviness Of
prices, renewed doubt as TO the state of
the copper market more stories Of un-
favorable crop conditions ia the West.
and the publication Of a bank state
ment that was admittedly poor.
No more could really be said to-day
regarding the copper market than has
been for some time past, and the true
state of trade in this respect was gen
orally looked upon as something that
could only be revealed by future deveI-
opments While the price Of copper in
this country is now high, and is ma
terially below the European parity. the
copper manufacturing business is as
prosperous as ever, and consumers OF
the commodity have, as is believed, COW
cred only IN small degree their wants
for the metal for a period later than
the end Of June, There is no question
but that reserve stocks of copper are
very small. some of the leading pro
ducers having entirely retired from the
market as sellers. It can hardly be
thought likely, therefore, that any de-
cline In copper. even If one occurs. can
be more than moderate. and if this
turns ont TO be the case it would seem
as if il had been more than discounted
in the recent fall in the price of copper
stocks

Opinions on the New York Market.
Benjamin Woodruff, of Post & FIagg
The market was discouraging 10 the
bulls. prices being weak all the morning.
and the fractional rally toward the end
being nothing more than the closing OF
short contracts. Uncertainty over the
crops. as well as the attitude OF the ad-
ministratlon IN Washington. cause psople
to hesitate in making fresh commitments
in the market. While I do not feel very
buiiish on the market for the long pull
/ think that prices should rally from this
level, as in the last few days they nave
declined from 70 10 points. This drop
has been caused principally, I think. BY
short selling and belated liquidation. The
short Interest is undoubtedly large. and
has made great deal Of money in the
past, and, while the smaller shorts are
run TO cover from time to time, I believe
the larger bears avail themselves of the
opportunity to put out fresh lines on ali
strong spots. The bank statement. con-
trary 10 expectation, was a poor one. and
on IT'S appearance the market became
weaker think that Southern Pacific
and Atchison. among the railroads. are
attractive purchases. and among the in
dustrials, Copper and Steel preferred also
look attractive although the former is
subject % wild fluctuations. for. even
with the much-reduced price for copper
metal Amalgamated should have no diff
nculty IN maintaining its present divi-
dends.'

I marvelled that men could for so
long have been asses.
From the very nature of stock
gambling it is necessary, absolutely
necessary, that it be conducted under
certain rules, Interchangeable, unbreak
able rules, to attempt to change or
break which would destroy stock
gambling The foundation rule, the
rule absolutely necessary for the ex-
istence of Safeguarding is: Any
member of the stock exchange can
buy, or sell, between the opening and

shares of stock as he cares to. With
this rule in force his buying and sell
ing cannot be restricted to the amount
he can take and pay for, or deliver
and receive pay for, because there is
not money enough in the world to pay
for what under this same rule can be
bought and sold in a single session.
This is because there have been ar
bitrarily created by these few trick
sters many times more stocks than
there is money in existence. The
amount of stock that any man can
sell in one session of the exchange is
limited only by the amount that he
can offer for sale, and he can offer
any amount his tongue can utter;
and he is not compelled and cannot
be compelled to show his ability to
deliver what he has offered for sale
until after he has finished selling
which is the following day. You will
ask as | did: Can this be possible?
you will find the answer | found. 1t
is so, and must continue to be so, or
there will be no Safeguarding. Mark

with the greatest import to you all. A
member OF this exchange can sell as

had the biggest stack could beat his

ponent was the world, because all
men directly or indirectly played the
Safeguarding game. To win, it was
but necessary to have unlimited

on equal terms, by all, no one could
buy more than he could pay for, and
the game, although still gambling
one, would be fair. A few master
tricksters, dollar magicians, long ago
seeing this condition, invented the
system by which the people are ruth
lessly plundered The system they
invented was simple, so simple that
for quarter Of century it has re-
NAMED undiscovered by the world at
large-and even by you, who profess
to be experts. No man thought that
a free people who had intended to al
low all the equal use of every avenue
for the attainment of wealth, and
who intended to provide for the safe
guarding Of wealth after it was Sc
cured, could be such dolts as to al
low themselves to be robbed Of all
their accumulated wealth by a device
as simple as that by which children
play at blindman' s-buff. The process
was no more complex than that en-
ployed by the robber of old, who took
the pebbles from the beach, marked
them money, and with the money
bought the labor of his fellows, and
by the manipulation of that labor and
by turning pebbles into money he
took away from the laborer the
money which he had paid them for
the labor until all in the land were
slaves of the moneymaker. These few
tricksters said: We will arbitrarily
manufacture these chips--stocks. AZ
ter we have manufactured them, we
will sell the world what the world
can pay for, and then by the use of
the unlimited supply we still have we
will win away from the world what it
has bought, and repeat the operation,
until we have all the wealth, and the
