Anal. Copper Notably Firm.


Notwithstanding the denial that any ac-
tual hitch had occurred in the negotia-
tions for the listing of the United States
Steel stocks upon the Paris bourse, the
rumors in question appeared to have ex
cited some disquiet.
Amalgamated Copper was rather more
active and frmer than for some time
past, and. as had been predicted, today's
report of the Copper Producers Assoct-
alton showed a very considerable decrease
in the stocks of the metal on hand in
comparison with the previous returns.
In fact. between the April and May
reports the decrease in supplies amounted
to more than 13. 900. 900 pounds. or nearly
s per cent. Elsewhere the transactions
in the industrial and miscellaneous is
sues were unaccompanied by any specific
developments that became matters OF
common knowledge.
The local traction shares were dull, but
steady.
Buying Orders.
The London stock market showed no
special feature of interest. American
stocks moved irregularly there. although
before the close of the business session
a generally firmer tone developed.
Buying orders on fairly liberal scale
were executed here for foreign account i'll
the United States Steel shares and in
Union and Southern Pacific. The discount
rate of the Bank of England was left un-
changed at 21s per cent and the banks
weekly statement made a fairly strong
exhibit.
Local money market circumstances
again exhibited the slightly firmer tenden-
cies which were noted yesterday, which
were caused largely by the arrangement
incidental to the subscriptions for the new
municipal loan.
The grain market moved irregularly,
and the days advices with respect to gen.
eral agricultural conditions were of
somewhat negative character.

A Considerable CAPTAIN,

At Portsmouth, N. H., where they
were to unveil a statue to the mem
DRY of T. 3. Aldrich, during an auth
or's argument on international copy
right, Thomas Nelson Page broke up
rather acrimonious discussion by
deftly interposing a story.
"After ALL" he said. there is not
much real help in that idea. 1t is
such an idea an emanated from the
mind Of hard, cruel sea captain.
''In mid-ocean the cook approached
the captain timidly.
Captain he said, the men are
growlin' about the beef. They say
they can't chaw it nohow. They say
it's only fit to mend their sea boots
with
How much beef are you givin'
'em cooker the captain asked.
GA pound apiece a day, sir said
the cook.
WELL said the captain, gently,
give them half pound apiece from
now on. l should be sorry to force
'em to eat what isn't to their taste. I"

Really a Compliment.

Aaron Bancroft, the father Of the
historian, was Massachusetts clergy
man who revolted against the Cal
vinism of the day. The young minis
ter found himself held at arms length
by the surrounding clergy. In THE
Life and Letters of George Bancroft"
Mr.. M. A. Dew. Howe quotes the fol-
lowing item from the old minister's
Memoranda"
An honest but not very intelligent
farmer of my parish, some ten years
ago, accosted me in this manner:
well, Mr.. Bancroft, what do you
think the people of the old parish say
of you now?'
81 answered, I hope something very
good
They say If we find fault with him
he does not mind it at all; and IL
we praise him he does not mind it,
but keeps steadily on his own way:
we therefore have concluded that it is
best to let him alone"
The farmer mentioned the fact as
a subject of laughter, but I thought,
and still think that, taking the decla-
ration in its bearings, it was the pref
