ERRATIC In
MANY SPOTS
C. & A., Amalgamated and

Rule Below Opening.
tBy Frank ]. Graf.)

(Ry Frank j.. GTA.D
Today's market opened with q rusn
for stocks and within the first hour
OF trading there was a remarkable ad-
vance in all the leading railroad ana
copper stocks. Amalgamated open
ed at 81 81, but failed to show any
particular strength, while the balance
of the New York market showed a
steady increase. Missouri Pacihc,
Union Pacific, Northern Pacific and
Reading were the leaders among the
New York stocks. Copper metal
advanced is on all grades OF copper
and should soon show activity IN
conner stocks. Anaconda showed an
advance of two points, but at the close
lost Il. Calumet & Arizona was
without exceptions the strongest OF
the coppers, opening at 105 "a, sales
being made as high as 107 and closed
at 104.
Copper Range lost one point during
the day. Norta Butte opened at
SO 3-5, advancing to 81 and closing
at 80. s. g. p. also showed a slight
decline, as well as Greene Cananea.
Shattuck holds firm at 1900 and DEM
at 8 10. The entire market was
somewhat of disappointing one, Tor
the public expected to see the market
hold its prices. | think, however, the
decline is only temporary and a bet

BOSTON. March 1.-THE coppers
did not have any snap today and To-
ward the. close were comparatively
weak. There is still a large short in
terast and they made the list look
weak by offering stock down. Ne
consider the buying of Butte muca
better than the selling and think
the small break today will be follow
ed by higher prices.
Butte Coalition was well bought
from New York. and $50 is talked OF
for it. Greea2 Cananea will be taken
in hand soon. ffThe New York metal
exchange is working up and advanced
its prices for copper to 10 cents today.
The real market has been 10 bid for

NEW YORK, March 16.-The stock
market displayed reactionary ten
daney today, and prices were gen
orally lower. Considerable realizing
was in evidence, but the develop
ments of the day we're not of a
character to induce selling other than
for profit taking. The recent sharp
advance was regarded as too fast bv
a great many traders and today's re
cession should tend to strengthen the
position Of the markets We wodld
not be surprised to see the market sell
slightly lower. but think good issues
should be bought on declines.

Frequent reference vas made In the

cactus was one of the most noticeable
things that could stand the arid con

and was growing Eaely. That was
seven years ago. Desiring to test the
vitality of the cactus still further, he

He informed me recently that the

found that the cactus can be cut IN

the one plant in all the world to re-

of the land, but the greater part is

starvation. They have then been seen
to eat the cactus till the blood runs

BlEBER WOULD SAVE
HIS FIRE PENSION
New Arrival In Arizona Fights
to Keep His Monthly
Stipend,

Sydney Bieber of Washington City,
who has been visiting in Arizona re
Gently, is the same man mentioned in
the following from the Washington
Post. Bieber last week, not satisfied
with his pension, has undertaken to
reach intn the cash drawer of the
Tucson Star and take 100000 by
means of a damage suit.
Chief Justice Clabaugh of the dis
trict supreme court, yesterday order
ed a mandamus to be issued against
the commissioners of the district,
compelling them 20 restore Sidney
Bieber to the pension rolls of the fire
department, from which his name had
been dropped by order of the commits
s:oners.
In making his ruling the chief j,,s-
tice intimated that the commissioners
had acted hastily, In not affording Mr..
Bieber a chance to appear and show
cause why he had failed to respond
to the order for the medical examiua-
ton. The chief justice did not de-
side whether or not congress had the
power to require a medical examina-
ton for the benefciaries Of the PEN
sion fund, or to authorize the commits
sioners to reduce OF take away the
pension The opinion was expressed
by the court that fnasmuch as Mr..
Bieber had paid monthly contributions
to the fund out of his salary while a
member of the fire department, he
had right to a pension.
The chief justice pointed out the
difference between the pension funds
of the police and fire departments and
The pensioning of soldiers. The lat
ter, he said, was a bounty, subject to
the will of congress, and faiiura to ap-
propriate money would abolish the
pension.
He held that the commissioners
have the right to make reasonable
regulations for the conduct Of this
fund. but. having discharged man
from the service and takel away his
salary and awarded a pension, they
could not then take away the pension
without at least affording him an op-
portunity to be heard.
The chief justice said that the no
tice to appear was ret sufficient, be
cause it was not shown u1gt Illness
or some other cause might not have
prevented his attenianco a the time
specified. A subsequent Losice order
ing Mr.. Bieber to show cause should
rs-o been given hir..
Mr.. Bieber, who IL former fire
marshal. was discharged because OF
disability. contracted In service. He
was dropped from the pension rolls
of the IRE department because he had
failed to present himself for an exam
ination ordered by the commission

To Enlarge Coast League.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5.-It is
likely that the Pacific Coast baseball
league which now has but four clubs.
will enter the next season with six or
eight cities represented. San Francis
co, Los Angeles Portland and Oak
land now comprise the circuit. Sac
ramento will be taken in next year,
and some suburb of Los Angeles will
make the sixth city. 1t is possible
that two northern cities, probably Sc
attic and Tacoma, may be induced to
cast their fortunes with the coast
league. The formation of the Pacific
Northwest league, resulting in the
Of Seattle, seriously Grip
pied the Pacific coast league, but pros
poets are now good for a return of
the old time prosperity and suprem-
acy of the league.
