The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1908-02-14

A bitter attack on the rules and
power of the speaker was made in the
house of representatives Wednesday
by Mr.. Nelson of Wisconsin, republic
an, who said the power of the house
was merged in the speaker. He IS

ocratic applause. He charged that the
business of the country vas not be-
ing dispatched speedily, economically
or considerably. He did not, he said,
believe in personality or ~partisanship.

principles and not of men that are

The federal treasury will be open
to 10000 Missourians, now shut from

Hamlin of Springfield, Mo-, is passed.
The bill amends the pension act OF
1890 so that all soldiers in state mi
litia organizations which served un-
der federal officers in the civil war
may get pensions. AS the law stands,
only soldiers who were mustered into
the federal army benefit. Missouri,
according to pension bureau records,
had 500 militia organizations which
fought in the war without belonging
to the general army. There are 10000
soldiers and their heirs thus excluded
in the state. The minimum pension

STOCKS OF COPPER
 SHOW INCREASE
PRODUCERS CALLING FOR ANTroI- PATIoNs OF SPECIFICATIONS AND DEALERS ANTICIPATING CONTRACTS.

 an almost complete cessation of import.

 merce, nearly all the business coming up during the last week being of a job. | ping character. The decreased con- sumption and the smaller buying by Eu- ropean consumers has been reflected in a contraction of about 30 per in exports | thus far in July. This smaller move ment has doubtless been one result of the heavy surplus stocks carried in Flu. rope. It is pointed out that for the last two months there has been an accumu- lation at both the Rio Tinto and Tarsus mines to an aggregate of 5000 tons. Something over 12,000 tons of Japanese copper is also becoming available for European consumption, there being a large tonnage in transit. Much of the surplus shipped from this country, too last month has been added to the visible and invisible supplies in Europe. Near ly 10000 tons of standard copper alone is being carried.
 The effort to swell the exports and decrease the visible supplies is shown in the demand from producers for spe- eifications on later contracts and the an ticipation by dealers in Europe. This means that August contracts are being supplied in July; hence, there is likely to be less demand next month.
 The result has been the development of the weaker tone, and towards the close of the week a disposition to make concessions to attract important bus- market until within the last few days.
 One of the indications of the light business in refined copper abroad is the fact that the Amalgamated company has taken no important European con tracts in the last six or eight weeks.
 Exports reported from Atlantic ports for the week were 4,2s9 tons, and since the first of July s,3O3 tons.
 For the week ending July l6 arrivals have been 200 tons of copper and 200 tons of matte; since the first of July imports at Atlantic ports by steamers only have been 950 tons of refined cop per; 3S0 tons of matte and 1920 tons of ores.
 The London market for standard war rants during the last week has advanced only 2s Gel net on both spot and futures, but since the first of July there has been an advance of q, 5s 'on spot and q 2s Cd on futures.
 Best selections have been advanced los during the week and fl since the first of July, but there has been very little business. and prices are largely nominal.
 The statistical position during the first half of this year is shown in the following table Even with the small imports during May, which were evi- dently incomplete, the heavy export have failed to reduce surplus stocks very much, and, with the most favora l ble construction, stocks in this country | are fully l00,000,0OO pounds, outside of the copper carried in course of rein. ing and smelting or in transit; but this | is less copper than was held on the first of the year.

1.-The stock market has, as it always does, been going ahead of general bus mess conditions. The recuperation in corporate earnings has. as yet, not been in degree commensurate with the ad- vance in the security quotations. Nev- erthelesS undeniable testimony is at hand, telling of more pronounced up- L.t to business as whole than has talk. en place since the bottom of the de. pression was reached. It is true that the copcr trade is still tagging, but this may be attributed to the fact that new electrical enterprises, and others in which copper is largely used, are still held in check, pending the realization of greater activity in other lines, upon which electrical business is necessarily dependent Logically the recuperation of copper should, and does, follow. rath- CT than preccdc, a similar movement in iron and steel. All reliable data simply tend to confirm the opinion that with the month of June the turning point in business was reached. and that it is now on the upgrade on broad lines and in earnest, rather than in q sporadic and ftful fashion.
