An authoritative statement on the purpose of the present compilation of statistics by the new Copper Producers : association indicates that as soon as tho figures showing existing stock are com. pleto they will be published. These fig- ures, which are to be exact as of Jan. uary l, are being put together as rapid ly as possible by l.. c. Graton, who is now writing the government report on copper production. Authorities on cop. per metal say that many of the recent estimates of the amount of copper stocks have been exaggerated and mis leading and have hurt the trade.
 The New York Herald says that per haps the most effective bear rumor was one to the effect that Messrs. Harrlman and Hill were at odds. Remembering tho direful effects of the fight between these gentlemen over Northern Paeife eight years ago, many persons were made nervous by this. When 1t proved to be without basis the bears flung in a rumor that Mir. Hartman was dead. Unfortunately for them, he arfived from the south and emphatically denied the report. Still another fool rumor was to the effect that Mir. Hartman, in entering the New York Centsal d. rectorate, was unfriendly to the Van derbilt interests. All the rumors were of the stuff that bad dreams are made of, and the one significant result of the days operations is the creation of considerable short interest.

II is Incumbent upon him individually
to decide what legislation should be
allowed TO pass, and what should be

should die at some point en- route to
congress, the speaker does not feel
justified in giving the other S91 mem
bers of the house even a chance to
vote, because they might be suf
ficiently indiscreet to pass the bill
In the case of postal banks, it has
long been commended by friends of
the project that the lower house
would pass a postal bank bill with
little ceremony if the measure should
be allowed to come up for vote.
Wnen 1t is commended that Senator
Penrose of Pennsylvania, who has
demonstrated his faithfulness to the
special interests as often as oppor-
tunities have offered, is chairman Of
the committee on postoffiees and

A later letter makes inquiries
