TARIFF BOARD FINDS

one Of the gravest questions which
President Taft viii ind on his hands

TO increase the powers OF the existing
tariff board.

 On the first of January the associa- tion was burdened by an indebtedness Of more than -2.00O. The outlook was almost hopeless. but General .secre- tary Pollard, setting to work with determination to reduce the sum sue ceeded admirably. On July 6, when the semi-annual report was given in the association owed but S5I1 in all
 This result is very encouraging to those interested in the welfare of the Y. M- C. A. It also reflects the in crease in interest displayed by the residents of Bisbee in the work and it's unhindered progress. It is the be- lief of the officers that before Decem- Der 31 then association will not alone be out of debt, but have a balance in it's favor at the bank.

Prices yielded easily upon re- currence Of selling pressure the with holding of which was largely respOn- sibe for the show of negative strength in last weeks market The narrow proportions of the market came into view during the latter part of the day when it became plain that offer ings were being made without bids so the uncovered bears had to bid to secure the stocks.
 There was much discussion of the position of the leading metal indus tries. This is held responsible for much of the weakness shown by the stocks of thhe copper industry which were especially subject 10 unfavorable comment.
