Metal Dealers Prepared to Prove
Their Statements
H1MDusTAA SAILED WITH 1000 TONS
THEN TURNED AROUND AND SHE
SAILED RIGHT BACK AGAIN
WITH LOAD.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-James Nor
ton, president of the Northwestern
Metal Dealers association has made
public the following letter, which, up
on instructions from the association
he sent to Attorney General Bonaparte
at Washington:
referring to our telegram to you
respecting the combination of copper
interest in this country, I beg to lay
before you the following facts, which
we are prepared to prove:
THAT the copper trust. so-called, has
created an artificial scarcity of copper
by storing it in large quantities in
Butte, Mont; Hoboken, n. j.; Perth
Amboy, N. j.; Bayonne, N. j.; Bisbee
Ariz.; Cananea, Mexico; Houghton
Mich, and other places known to our
association, and refusing to sell it ex-
cept in small quantities.
Metal Declared Stored.
THAT there is now stored at Perth
Amboy 5000 tons of refined copper. and
that all intending purchasers are told
that the supply has been exhausted.
THAT there are 100 tons Of copper
at Hoboken, and that seals were placed
on the storehouse thereon on October Is
last, and have not since been broken.
THAT there are stored in similar
manner at Butte, Mont, 5000 tons; at
Bisbee, 800 tons, and 1880 tons at
Cananea, Mex, and Houghton, Mich.
Used As Ships Ballast.
THAT the steamer Hindustan, Cap
tain Rallton, on October 20 last, sailed
for South Africa with 1000 tons of cop
per ballast, with no orders for it's del
livery in any port of South Africa. and
that the Hindustan returned December
20 still carrying the 1000 tons of cop
per as ballast, and that Captain Rail-
ton, on seeking orders for the delivery
of the copper, received orders the next
day to continue the 1000 tons of cop
per as ballast. The Hindustan sailed
subsequently for South American
port, still without orders for the delive-
~ OF the copper. his ISSll-
ing above facts is inclOsed.
1--WE submit that the present danger
to the trade is not so much the high
price of copper as is the fear that the
price. being held at an artificial height,
may be lowered suddenly should the
copper combination succeed in selling
it's stored up product at the present
quotations"
President Norton said he would go to
Washington Immediately to see the
president and Acknowledgement Bona

SCALY ECZEMA

Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and

Iowa Lady Has Great Faith
in Cuticura Remedies for Skin
Diseases,
ANOTHER WONDERFUL
CURE BY CUTICURA

81 had an eruption appear on my
chest and body and extend upwards
and downwards, so that my neck and
face were all broken out; also my arms
and the lower limbs as far as the knees.
/ at first thought it was pricllly heat.
But soon scales or crusts formed where
the breaking out was. Instead OF gong
to physician, l purchased complete
treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, IN
which I had great faith, and all was
satisfactory. : year or two later the
eruption appeared again, only little
lower; but before it had time to spread
l procured another supply of the Cuti-
cura Remedies, and continued their use
until the cure was complete. 1t is now
five wears since the last attack, and
have not seen any signs of return. l
have taken about three bottles of the
Cuticura Resolvent, and do not know
how much of the Soap or Ointment, as
I always keep them with me; probably
one half dozen of each.
81 decided to give the Cuticura REM
edies q trial after I had seen the results
of their treatment of eczema on an
infant belonging to one of our neigh
bors. The parent took the child to the
nearest physician, but his treatment did
no good. So they procured the Cuticura
Remedies and cured her with them.
When they began using Cuticura Rem:
edies her face was terribly dlslgured
with sores, but she was entirely cured,
for I saw the same child at the age OF
Eve years, and her mother told me the
eczema had never broken out since. l
