METAL LOWER
 IN LONDON
Price of Copper Goes Of One Cent per Pound in London-No Change in the Prices in New York-Superior & Bos- ton Continues Strong.
(By |. N. Kinsey)

GLOBE, April Slogan X Bryan say: Market closed with much improv- cd tone over that which prevailed early in the session. Increase in Atchison $ dividend to the long predicted 6 per cent fell flat as a market factor and seemed wasted as bullish card. The disturbing factor in eoppers today was the sharp break in the price of the metal in London, though domestic prices were maintained. Call money rates de clined to l per cent, but time rates are still very stiff, with money not as plen. tiful as desired. Market was only a trading one and today's reaction was perfectly natural following sharp re- eOvery.
 Paine, Webber < Co. say: Market opened weak following severe decline in London market and continued rather weak throughout the session until the last hour, when prices rallied all around. Speculative market for metal was weak CT today, but look on it as purely manip- ulation and as having little effect on legitimate demand for the metal. We are informed by people who should know that buying of Amalgamated is much better than the selling and q raise of at least ten points is expected. Time money was easier ill New York around 5A per cent and there was indication of improvement in the bond market. Money seems to be easing all around The situation looks more clear to us and we would rather buy than sell good stocks around these prices.
 We have the following from our Bos. ton correspondent, Hayden, Stone & Co.,; Continued decline in London cop per market affecting sentiment adverse ly. Old Dominion only strong Boston stock. Technical position New York market very good. Standard railroads look very attractive. (Signed) Galen l.. Stone.

GLOBE, April 3.--The buying was of a less aggressive character in today s market. The president 's letter is cred, ited with the weakness shown.
 Old Dominion opened at $53 and sold as low as $52, but closed at $5450 bid and $54.75 asked. My idea is there may be some profit taking around these fig ures.

The ore is reported as hema- tite carrying carbonates, and may prove to be in a large body. The stock closed at 1925 and 1 look for tt to reach twice this tomorrow, this prol'erty being well thought of in the east, and there will undoubtedly be strong market for it.
 With the easy money market of 119 per cent all good stocks are considered a snap and good for substantial rise.

Smithsonian institution are being con dueted with scientific caution Much of the labor is performed by Indians, who are perhaps the descendants of the very men whose homes they are unearthing. Such relics as have been discovered will be carefully shipped to the National museum to be compared by experts with other specimens of Indian work. Dr. Fewkes has reserved his own eonclu- 5ious until the completion of the exca- yatiOns, when whatever definite theories he may have established will be em- bodied in a complete report on the Casa Grande and it's vicinity.
 One of the most recent letters to the smithsonian says:
 "I believe the excavation and pro ection of the ruins on the Casa Grande reservation may be made the most i'm. )ortant archaeological work the Smith onian has ever undertaken and if completed as begun will be valuable contribution to the advancement of knowledge among men. Allow me to emphasize one feature of the archeo ogical work of the Smithsonian this winter. So far as l know, up to the present year, no museum, institution, ol private worker has ever done anything 70 protect or preserve walls of build ings in southwestern ruins, brought to light by excavations, but have left then to be destroyed by the elements.
