COPPER MEAL MARKET.

The Copper metal market remains in the same inactive position wnlch has been noted for some time past. There are interests who predict that after election sharp break will char acterize prices unless business taxes on a substantial improvement, yet at the same time they admit that con sumers are bare of the metal and are taking of the offerings only to meet immediate demands. This is quite dilemma and it would be rather hard one to solve if it were not TOT the fact that producers refuse to sell large amounts at prices quoted by the metal exchanges, an indication thaI there is no pressure to sell and IL IS doubtful if any large amount or cop per could be bought under l4 cents One thing is certain and that is bus | mess is improving, and although the detection uncertainties are somewhat of a damper on the rate of improve ment. when the results of the election | are definitely known affairs will go on as conditions require. Consumer must come into the market when sup iplies give out and sooner or later large orders for copper must pc  placed
 For the past month the local market
 has held firm because of the absorp ton of the metal abroad both by spec iulatiye and consuming interests. Late Ily the consumers have been rathel lprominent. Exports for September Iwere in the neighborhood of 4,OOO,OO' pounds and yet foreign prices remair quite firm.

One of the lat est developed mines of importance in the Pocaaontas district is owned by a group of local merchants and manu- lecturers who have about S10 0,000, 900 invested in two western copper mines. Coal from this new mine is being sold as far west as the Dakotas. A good deal of this coal is camel and it is finding an eniarging market here abouts. Within year s1.000,0Oo of local capital has been invested at this mine in the Pocahontas basin, and a lively town is being developed in what was the heart of a wilderness IS

CENTENNIAL.

While the recent advance in Centen- Iial has been due principally to the improved position of the stock because 1f the decision rendered in favor of he Calumet & Hecla in the famous Calumet & Hecla-Osceola suit there is much to recommend the property to the investing public from a purely physical standpoint
 It may be said on excellent author ty that the properties of the company were never in better shape and that the outlook is extremely favorable. The drifting which is being done to the north is fast getting under the South Kearsarge workings and a well mineralized zone is being opened up.
 The company is now getting about sixteen pounds of mineral to the ton from the Centennial rock which is being cut through with but little se- lection and even better results are ex- pected within a comparatively short time owing to the improved mineral ization.
 The shipments of rock to the mill Are now averaging about 14,OOO tons monthly and the greater part of this is coming from the drifting but little stoping being underway at the pessnt time.
 It is probable that this rate will Do maintained until Spring even ii th, new heads at the mill are completed at an earlier date. The chances are that the Calumet & Hecla will use the Centennial-Allouez mill on shipments from the Osceola lode shafts as the canacity of the min at the Lake Lin den is now severely taxed. Quite a lot of rock can be taken care of in this way as the two new heads under construction will be able to take car1 of at least 1400 tons of rock daily

DICK BROS. ON THE MARKET

Special Wire to l.. J. Oyerlock)
 NEW YORK, Oct 13.-The market threw off European selling and pessi- =.lism and acted we'll all day with Union Pacific the leader. The stock Is well in hand and barring accidents seems destined for very much higher prices. There was a big demonstra- ton against Reading but 1t had very little effect. Shelters was sold on the reduction in lead, but the stock was we'll taken. St. Paul was well bought all day and so was Northern Pacific The Gould stocks seem to be active and wanted at higher figures. Just at the close those who had had bought for the day sold out at the market and there was fractional recession. Barring bad foreign news the market ought to be higher to- morrow.

Some Damage to Construction Work
on Panama Canal

Colon, Nov 25,--Owing to the eX-
ceptionally heavy rajnfals of the last
three weeks the earth on the crest of
the Gatun dam has settled in certain
places. The Gatun dam which is de-
signed to hold in check the waters
of the Chagres river, was in the be-
ginning fifty feet wide 1t has now
been extended to length of 300 feet,
In view of these existing conditions
the settlement OF the dam was ex-
pected. The reason is the heavy
weight of the embankment There is
nothing to do to prevent this falling
in and it will have to continue. There
have been other settlements in the
vicinity of the dam at Gatun and the
rains have resulted, furthermore, in
several landslides in the Culebra cut.
The railroad track is inundated or

miles, but transit has not been i'm.

nations direst need sprang to the
front to risk everything, including life
itself, and to spend the days of their
strongest young manhood in valorous
conflict for an ideal Often we Amer
leans are taunted with having only
material ideal. The empty folly of the
taunt Is sufficiently shown by the
presence here today of you men of the
Grand Army, you the comrades of the
dead general, the men who served
with and under him. In all history
we have no greater instance of subor-
dination Of self, of the exalting of a
lofty ideal over merely material well
being among the people of great ma
ton, than was shown by our own peo-
pie In the civil war.
And you, the men who wore the
blue, would be the first to say that
this same lofty Indifference to the
things of the body, when compared to
the things of the soul, was shown by
your brothers who wore the gray.
Dreadful was the suffering, dreadful
the loss, of the civil war. Yet ii
stands alone among wars In this, that,
now that the wounds are healed, the
memory of the mighty deeds of valor
performed on one side no less than on
the other has become the common
heritage of all our people in every
quarter of this country. The com
pleteness with which this is true is
shown by what Is occurring here to-
day. We meet together to raise a

Americanism Defined.

Americanism Defined.
There is another point in General
Sheridan's career which it is good for
all Of us to remember. Whereas
Grant, Sherman and Thomas were of
the old native American stock, the
parents of Sheridan, like the parents
of Farragut, were born on the other
side of the water Any one of the five
was just as much type of the real
American, of what Is best in America,
as the other four. We should keep
steadily before our minds the fact
that Americanism is question OF
principle, of purpose, of idealism. of
character; that Ii is not a matter of
birthplace or creed or line of descent.
tives of many old world races are
being fused together into a new type,
a type the main features of which are
already determined and were deter
mined at the time of the Revolutionary
war, for the crucible In which all the
new types are melted into one was
shaped from 1915 to 1889, and our ma
tionality was definitely fixed in all its
essentials by the men of Washington's
day. The strains will not continue to
exist separately in this country as in
| the old world. They will be combined
in one, and OF this new type those men
will best represent what is loftiest In
| the nations past, what is finest in her
hope for the future, who stand each
solely ON his worth as a man, who
| scorn to do evil to others and who
| refuse to submit to wrongdoing them
| selves, who have In them no taint OF

when fighting is demanded by sound

their lives to bring ever nearer the
