BUYING STOCKS, EXPECTING
ADVANCE, NOT ADVISED.

NEW YORK. Aug. 6.-Conservative
interests said after the close on Friday
and again this morning that they could
not recommend the purchase of stocks
on the advances. and believed that any
n who buys them. except on the de-
cline will see prices go against them.
They base their ideas on the belief
that the banks and other large financial
interests do not favor and will not per-
NIT an active speculation on the bull
side In the immediate future. On the
other hand, ever conservative observers
think that reaction will not extend
more than from 8 to 5 points, and that
If the standard issues are bought con-
servatlvely on such reaction, the trans
actions will prove profitable.

COPPER STOCK IN WORLD
ONLY 1000 0 TONS NOW.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-John p. Ryan,
president of the Amalgamated Copper
Company. said yesterday upon his ar
rival from Europe on the Mauretania
that he does not think the copper mar
ket is glutted.
The stock of copper in the world at
present. he said at the pier, lis little
more than 200, 900 tons. That is not
much, under present conditions. At all
times there is needed q stock of at
least 10000 tons. There was not
enough in 1906 and 1907. Those who
complain hat the market Is too crowd
ed with copper and see dire results
as a consequence do not look at the
situation in a broad enough light.
THE consumption of copper in Eu-
rope. especially in Germany, is emo
nous and it is increasing daily"

OFFER TO PAY THE oyERDRAFT
Of S., 900 of the Presidents Travelling
Expenses Made by Southerners-
Taft Pleased at Evidence Of Friend
liness-Cannot Accept Offer.

Washington, Special.-A protest
against the action Of certain Demo
cratic members of the Congress IN
opposing the appropriation Of $25,-
600 for the Presidents travelling e1-
penses, covering the Presidents last
Southern trip and an offer to make up
the deficiency, was t~elegraphed to
Speaker Cannon Saturday by the An
gusta (Ga.) Chamber Of Commerce
and Cotton Exchange and Georgia
Carolina Fair Association. The tele-
cram announced that at a called meet.
ing Of the three organizations the fol.
lowing memorial was ordered sent to
the Speaker, to be presented to the
House and to President Taft:
"Augusta, the winter home OF
President Taft, stands indignant and
mortified at the action of certain
Democratic members of Congress in
defeating by technical objection the
proposition to make retroactive, SO
as to cover all the expenses of his last
Southern trip, the appropriation of
$3.50 for the Presidents travelling
expenses.
i'At a joint meeting of the Cham
Der of Commerce, the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, Cotton
Exchange and Board of Trade, and
the Georgia. Carolina Fair Associa-
ton held this day, it was unanimous
ly agreed that we respectfully tender
through you, to the government of the
United States the $1,000 necessary
to meet the deficiency of the Presi-
dents recent trans-continental trip
which did so much to cement the ties
between the different sections and
bring nation and the nations Chief
Executive in closer touch and sympa-
thy with each other"
The President could not possibly
accept the offer of the patriotic Geor-
giaas. He intends to pay out of his
own pocket his travelling expenses for
the remainder Of the fiscal year.
These will amount to about $1,000 or
$4,000, as the President proposes to
make all the visits planned by him be-
tween now and the end of the year.
