Bear Sentiment Checks the Activity of Stocks
MARKET QUICKLY RECEIVERS ON
SHORT COVERING, AFTER
HEAVY BREAK.

morning suggested a selling movement
on the part of the bear clique to force
down prices, but the buying OF the
smaller fellows who were roostlng on
narrow margins defeated the preah,
and the bear raid was of short duration
and of doubtful advantage TO that sioe
of the market. Wall Street lacks m
spring news, and any motive to mar
stocks higher than they are, but at the
same time the market sturdily refuses
to be battered down, and it seems true
that the interests in command do not
propose at this time to allow the advent
of any selling movement that would per-
manently lower stocks.
As a part of the present movement
the public appears to be gradually with
drawing and Is leaving the market to
the professionals.
During the afternoon the market
grew slowly weaker under very small
volume of business. Some stocks lost
points from the opening or top prices,
and the tendency of things was down
ward, due to the large bear sentiment
which has pervaded the exchange all
day.
At 2 o'clock brokers were listlessr and
were giving small attention to the
boards Around some of them only a
handful of traders could be seen frtt-
tering away their time in small trades
far between. The tone OF the market
was fairly strong, giving little hope to
the bears if they should start raid
similar to that of the morning.

List of the Low
 Grade Producers.

In his latest letter, published in the Boston Commercial, George D. Walker the copper expert who has a national reputation, and who is now inspecting several of Utah's leading copper prop critics, gives the following as his req son for the present low price of copper:
 Had it not been for the production of Utah Copper and Nevada Consoli- dated during the past three years there would now be scarcity of copper in the worlds markets, and the price probably would be 50 per cent higher.
 ''In the coming three years the DOT phyries may be able to increase the annual production 27O.OOO, ,O0O pounds, giving this group a total output of 45O, 900, ,OOO pounds. The coming increase, therefore, will augmsnt the worl d's supplies by approximately , per cent annually. Unless other mines are able to do as much more, making a 10 per cent annual increase altogether, there is practically sure to be a shortage of copper immediately after the existing surplus has been absorbed.
 "A revival in general business in this country, a foreign war, further improvement in the science of trans hitting and applying electric power or an advance in the cost of fuel would immediately increase the demand for copper sufficiently to cause a shortage in supplies. All of these are more than possible; they are probable"

More than Half Gold.

This morning the pan-arastra mill at the Winnemucca Assay office was started on another batch of the rich ore from the Adamson-Turner prop erty at Rexall, the Minnemucca moun- tain camp. This is without doubt the richest batch of ore ever brought to the town. It is not ordinary high grade, but ore that is fabulously rich in gold-in fact, so rich that the greater part of the ore that is now be- ing milled is half gold.
 It was only few days ago that what might be called slabs of almost solid gold were extracted from the rich diggings and these chunks of the precious yellow metal were brought in

The rob- bers appeared at the assay office early in the evening, and marched the two guards at the point of revolvers, into a tunnel. There one robber stood guard over the captives, while the other got away with two sacks Of ore.
 When the robbers disappeared, the two guards summoned aid, and took up the trail. They soon came up to the robbers, and a fight ensued, in which one robber was badly wounded, though both managed to escape in the dark ness. Two suspects were arrested at National today.
