SPECTATORS SHY
At QUIET MARKET
Evidences in New York That the
Spirit Of IndeciSion Is
still Prevailing
RISE OF COPPER IN LONDON
Small Competition for Gold Ar

Financial Situation
RISE OF COPPER IN LONDON
Associated Press>

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Today
showed nothing so clearly as the in
sistent determination of the specula-
tion to mark time and to await events
The net changes at the end of the
day proved inconsequential.
Immediate events had little effect on
the market in view of the Importance
attached to the outcome of affairs In
the more distant future, especially the
elections and the supreme court de-
cisions on the trust cases. There was
a drop of two points in the shares
of the American Sugar Refining COM
pany, which was ascribed to the new
suit filed for it's dissolution.
The opening of the railroad rate
hearing at Chicago is looked upon as
starting an important stage In that
proceeding which may define more
clearly the scope Of the task confront
ing the interstate commerce commits
sion in shaping a method for fixing
freight charges. 1t is expected that
weight will remain on speculative ac-
tlvity. in railroad securities until more
light is obtained on the rate inquiry.
rise in the price of copper In
London was an incident of the day.
Steel trade advices were not altered
in tone, the expectation persisting
that lower prices for finished products
would shortly be announced. The small
competition manifest for the weeks ar
rivals of gold In the London market
had a quieting effect on money mar
kets. Last weeks loan expansion of
the New York banks is said to have
been on account of southern financial
centers and obviously represents prep
aration for possible contingencies in
the cotton bill controversy with for
eign bankers.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,
par value, $1,479, 900.

Many Badly Hurt and Shaken
When Portland Man Oper-
ates Aeroplane
Hamilton Makes First Flight in
Northwest; Series Will Last
Until Monday

PORTLAND, March 5.-The first
flights of an aeroplane in the Pacific
northwest occurred here today. when
Charles X. Hamilton, in Curtiss BIZ
plane, did half a dozen stunts in the
air for the amusement of throngs of
people who went to the Country club
grounds TO witness the first of a series
of flights, which will continue tomor-
row and Monday.
The attempt of Walter E. Donnelly,
a local man, to fly in Curtiss biplane
resulted disastrously. Donnelly had
got his machine going nicely and was
about to leave the earth when one of
the planes struck the flank of the horse
of a mounted policeman who was at
tempting to keep back the crowds.
The concussion turned the big ma
chine into the crowd knocking down
half a dozen people. One man had his
front teeth knocked out, another sus
tanned a severe cash on the cheek,
another's leg was badly wrenched and
one or two. were badly shaken up, but
not seriously hurt.
Donnelly was unhurt but his ma
chine was badly smashed. 1t will take
several days to repair the damage.

W. g Nahoney. an architect who sued
Police Judge Charles I. Conlan for s42O
as compensation for the preparation of
plans for q three fiat building, lost his
action yesterday, Judge Murssky rem
derlnS judgment for the defendant
Conlan consulted Mahoney about plans
for the building in Fulton street in
1901 When bids were invited the
iawest was $1l.5QO. and as Conlan could
raSss no more than $1,000 at that time
he rejected the plans,
I told Mahoney that while I wanted
plans for a barn he had drawn plans
for battleship," testified Conlan yes
terday. 1t was a human impossibilitv
for me to raise 81, 500 at that time. and
II was only by borrowing as much as
] could that | could get $1,000.
direct question of veracity arose
between the judge and the architect
Mahoney testified that Conlan talked
over the plans in his Cthe pIaintifss)
Office Conlan contradicted this and
said that he had never been in Ma
