Political and Governmental
Affairs Big Factors
IN Course Of Stocks Last Week
Best Market Took Goods.
The Crop Reports Are Better, But
Anxiety Not Wholly Relieved.

New York. July 30.-Speculative sem
timent was inclined to turn last week
to political and governmental affairs
as the factors responsible for the
course of stocks. So far as industrial
and commercial developments were
unfavorable. there was a disposition to
hold these factors as influential also.
The foreign situation induced the sell
ing of securities in this market for
foreign account on scale greater than
would be prompted by any actual harm
to result in American property inter-
ests from an outbreak of hostilities.
These sales were in the nature of real
izing in the most favorable market.
Trade and speculative activity in
London, Paris and Berlin for some
time has left an extended credit posi-
tion which was sensitive to the threat
of a rupture between the powers. The
action of financial and commodity
markets was sufficient to carry the in
timation that a solution of the Moroe
can question offers a serious problem.
The course of several Congressional
inquiries into corporation affairs. and
the Interstate Commerce Commissions
decision in the Spokane and Reno rate
cases, were factors on the side of home
affairs. The determination of the rail-
roads to contest the decision in the
courts moderated its influence. but the
incident served as a fresh reminder of
the control exercised over property and
over freight charges under the new
legal enaetments. =
Reports of good fains in various
parts of the country relieved but did
not entirely dissipate anxiety over the
crops, 1t was felt that immediate dan
ger to the corn crop had been everte1.
but reports of damage to spring wheat
from rust still came to hand. The re-
straint on business of this uncertainty
was in evidence.
Preparations for moving the crops
were not without effect on the money
market. Time money rates have hard
ensd during the past week and COM
mereiai paper is nc longer placed at as
low rates as before

NO "PuLLET" PENSIONS
Say Sherwood of Ohio, But 81 Per Day
for All Veterans.

Washington, July S0.-An unquali-
fed defence of his dollars day pension
bill was made in the House Saturday
by Sherwood of Ohio. as the closing
speech of a day set aside to general
debate on the cotton schedule tariff
bill
Instead of a pension bill based on
age, such as was enacted by the Re
publicans in 1907. or as proposed by
the Subway Anderson bill. the Ohio
representative said that the only eauit
able bill. from the point of view of the
men who really saved the Union. WAS
a measure based on service and sacri
flee.
He scathingly arraigned General
Keller of Ohio, General Hall. also of
that state. and John McEroy. editor Of
the National Tribune. for opposing the
bill
General Hail." he told the House
did not win his stars as a brigadier
general in the war. but by gallant con-
duct in the G. o. p. 40 years after
wards
General Sherwood filed a protest
against the pensionjng of spring pull
let's" who. he explained. We're girls
who marry old soldiers on their last
legs"
He expressed the belief that the
present House could pass a pension
bill which would pension the widows
of soldiers without working a fraud on
the government by pensioning those
who married just to get pension.

ANTICIPATE
 LARGE DEAL RunoP Says Copper Prop critics VIII Consolidate ACTIVITY IN TOMBSTONE
Optimism Prevails in Min ing Circles Inspection of Clark and Party Believed to Presage Increased De velopment Work.

The recent opening up of a siX-foot vein Of s57 ore in the Tom Reed mine has caused the eye of the mining world to be turned again toward Mo have county Within the last few years a number of properties in the vicinity of Kingman. Gold sRoads, Chloride and other mining towns, of which great deal was expected, have shown greater values in the course of their development than was predicted by the most optCmistic engineers and promoters. In the other counties an almost equal success and prosperity in mining matters prevails, and it is be- lieVed in copper circles that the trip of C. W. Clark. representing the Clark interests, with the managers of others of the territory's largest and richest properties. through the mining dis tricts is a certain fOrerunner of in creased activity in copper mining. Mir. Clarlls intention to build a smelter in Jerome, as expressed in Phoenix. will result, it is believed, in the undertak- ing of other similar projects by the large mining companies.
 It was in driving the crosscut from
 
 that the miners cut into a splendid body of ore IL is stated that the average width of the new vein is six feet. and that the ore will average about S57 in gold. while a large amount of vein matter will bring the whole mass to high grade milling value Drifting on the rich ore has been under way all the week and shows no diminution in quantity or quality The winZe that has been brought down from the old level will soon reach the drift level. which will give the mine great ventilation.
 With the opening of this great ore body on the $50 level the value of the property has been added to by more than a million dollars. as the fear of the old formation has been the one thing uppermost in the minds of the people and has kept possible investors away from this attractive stock The stock is going mp daily and it is the impression that the stock will soon be selling at a value of 5000, O00 for the mine. The management is jubilating over the strike and believes that it has proved the property to be one of the greatest in the territory.
 While the consolidation of the In- spiration and Miami copper mines near Globe has not vet been consum mated it is probable that such a merger will result from recent nego-
