MARKET EASES OFF ALL ALONG
THE uNE--LO0KS TEMPORARY
Several Causes Ascribed for Action COppers Sold
TO Enable ReinveStment in new FIocation on the
Big EIys--Loca Trading Scores High

The market pnblic yesterday ap-
peared 10 turn all of their copper
loose. selling orders being much in
evidence and coming from all
quarters. The only explanation
offered came in wire from Boston
which said that holders were cashing
in TO take advantage of new iota-
ton which had attracted great deal
of attention in the last several days.
IL is presumed that the Thomas W
Lawson copper proposition is meant.
Cumberland Ely and Nevada Con-
solidated both suffered from the turn
in affairs yesterday, the stocks be-
ing weak and selling of to lower
figures at the close. Consolidation
rumors would account for this, the
consolidated stock appearing the
more attractive as an immediate buy
for speculative as well as holding
purposes.
Copper is holding steadily above
10 cents. Heavy sales continue to
be reported and producers are posi-
tive In declarations that late de-
mands for the metal have sold II
couple of months in advance. Con-
ditions are therefore right for adj
vance of the stocks of the low cost
producers and the decline of yester-
day can only be attributed to some
such causes as given above. 1t is
not believed that this will operate
disadvantageously to the list for
more than day or two. Any ma
terial decline which may come about
under present conditions Is bound TO
create demand and prompt advance.
On the Ely exchange there was
considerable activity during the day,
sales reaching the highest number in
some time. The total number trans
ferred was 5000. The bulk of the
stock was of the cheap issues. though
Nevada Consolidated and Cumber-
land Ely both figured. Nearly all

MINING, MARkES AND METALS

by the time general conjecture that
recently fostered rise in prices of
stocks which might have been de-
signed to furnish favorable basis
for some further necessary liquida-
ton. Attention was given to esti-
mates which apparently originated
from the treasury department of the
early necessity of another heavy
draft on the government deposits
with the banks.
The present tranquility of the
money market and its apparent in
difference to the Withdrawals hither-

of any disturbing influence. Opera

forth today that, in addition. a re-

was in contemplation by withdra walls
from the banks that would insure
sufficient supplies to come to the re-
lief of the money market in the fall

This suggestion was coupled
with an intimation that attention of
administration officials had been at
tracted by the growth of margin

ward today. but with drag applied
from time to time. Foreign as well
as home markets were rather de-
pressed. the New York reaction ex-
ercising some general influence
abroad, especially in coppers. Con-
tinued weakness in the London mar
ket was reflected in the copper min
ing and industrial stocks.
There was no notable thing in the
complexion of affairs as shown in
the days news, but speculative SEN
timent took on the inevitable darker
hue which comes with prices declirS
ing. A pronounced effect was pro-
duced by the slump in the Erie
stocks, which was traceable to the
uneasiness caused by the sharp re-
cession in the price at which the
company's notes maturing in April
We're offered in the outside market.
Importance was attached to the
movement owing TO the knowledge
that a meeting of the directors of the
company was in contemplation for a
later hour in the day. The recent
rise in the eompany's securities mas
given confidence that this meeting
would develop a plan for meeting the
notes. This confidence was shaken
by the marked action of the stocks,
and no authoritative Information
could be secured from the company's
bankers before the regular meeting.
The tenor of the selling of United
States Steel also kept alive fears that
liquidation for inside account was in
progress in those shares.

TWO OF THE SEVEN JUSTICES
DISSENT FROM THE DECISION
AS RENDERED..

Denver-The Supreme Court Mon
day decided that the Anti-Guggenheinl
and Business Mems state tickets filed
by the so-called Evans faction of the
party should not go on the official bal
lot and Immediately after the decision
was rendered tho leaders of that fac
tion decided to withdraw the county
tickets of the same names.
The entire bench of the Supreme
Court sat en- banc on the question,
though three of the members had previ'
ously refused to act on the ground that
being candidates. they could not par
ticipate with propriety-
Justices Helm. Goddard, Maxwell,
Campbell and Gabhert concurred i'll the
opinion reversing the decision of Judge
Allen that ordered Secretary of State
O'Connor to place the tickets on the
ballot and Chief Justice Steele and
Justice Bailey dissented.
The proceedings in court were spir-
tied and Attorney y. Walter Dixon,
after challenging the right OF the three
judges to sit on their own case. stopped
in the middel of his presentation of the
case and asked leave to be excused
from further discussion of the matters
involved. The proceedings technically
were on the question of granting final
ly the writ of habeas corpus praying
the release from the custody of the
sheriff of Secretary O'Connor. In
truth they took up the merits of the
entire case on which Chief Justice

peaIed for the regular Republican Or

He scored the decision of Judge Allen
in the lower court and declared that
Allen had refused to permit them to
introduce their evidence to substanti

stress on the portion of Judge Aliens
decision holding that the candidates
on the regular party tickets had no
right to say whether or not they would
accept Endorsements from any other

He argued that this was the worst kind

hearing the arguments, retired to their
