CURB STOCKS.

]. a. Minnear & Co. say today:
After opening lower stocks became
duh, but final prices were firm, and
indicated that the St Paul dividend
cut yesterday would have little perma-
nent market effect. Copper shares were
unusually DUH North Butte broke to
24h, but the selling was i'm rather
small lots and leads TO no other con-
clusion than that the stock is being
accumulated. The balance of the list
showed absolutely no life although IT
must be said that offerings were very
modest.
Mayfiower monopolized all local in
terest crossing 50 with remarkable
ease. Old Colony sold a trine above
81 but was not as active as
Mayflower. Some buying in Union
Land also appeared. Rumors
CT a consolidation and the sale of
control of Maynower were rife, butt
they all lack authoritativeness. Pool
operations alone probably are the
cause of the present buying invest
ment. $. & p. was a trifle stronger

MARKETS

Boston-The buying of old Colony
and Mayhower continues excellent and
all profit taking is easily absorbed.
Union Land shared in the activity In
the early part Of the session. The
standard coppers seem TO be neglected
ly have their turn when the present
enthusiasm becomes more rational.
The market closed with a better
demand all around the room and il
looks as If tomorrow we should have
a strong and active market with prices

went on today in the cheaper copper
stocks, while standard issues were
dun, spiritless and heavy. The general
list was also heavy, as was TO be ex-

President Walter Fitch Of the Chief
Cons. Co. estimates the net earnings
for December at about $4,000. Exact
figures are lacking. owing to shipping
troubles in the Tintic camp that have
held down production from all the
mines for several weeks past and
which have also delayed sampling.
Mr.. Fitch believes January win show
profits equal to those OF December.

Michigan got into the limelight once
more on the occasion Of the filing OF the
Senate committees report on the III
tanie disaster, and he seems to have made
himself more or less ridiculous as usual
in connection with sea matters. The
benefits which might have come from
this investigation OF the causes of the
great ocean tragedy are being prohibited
by the conduct of the Senate inquiry anu
by the propensity Of Senator Smith to
treat the matter with glittering general
tiles and highfaluting language. II there
ever was case when simple, direct Ian
guage was needed, it was in this connec-
ton; but the necessity has been over
looked or subordinated to the desire ioT
rounding out grandiloquent phrases. The
flow of words should have been locked
in water-tight compartment, rathei
than trusted to the safety OF an open
boat.

MAN ABOUT TOWN.
A Veterans Revere.

The veteran reclined in his easy char,
his mind on events gone by.
He was musing on the days OF his
youth, and he heagei meufniui
sigh.
He pictures himself when as youth
he entered the Civil strife,
And upon his country's altar there prof
fered his precious life.
The beating drums, the tented Held
quickly his mind fits through,
He recalled the time when he marched
away, dressed in the army blue.
Then picture appeared upon the scene,
he heard the bugie call,
He saw the solid ranks advance-and
witnessed his comrades fall.
His mind was fixed upon scene which
caused his face to frowG'
He saw the sergeant scale the WORKS,
and then the flag went down.
He saw himself spring from the ranks,
determined to do or die,
The colors he raised from the ground
and proudly waved on high.
His ewes then filed with joyous tears,
there was resounding shout;
He saw the Rebels driven back and
cOmplebely put 10 iput'
At night amid the camptires glow and
the tramp of the sentries round,
Wrapped in his blanket grey, in slum-
Der on the ground.
At early dawn, when the bngles blew,
he arose from his bed so damp,
Shouldered his musket, marched away
on long and weary tramp.
Then Sherman boys came to his view,
on that weary march to the sea.
At Appomattox be was in the ranks,
when Grant declined the sword OF
Lee.
The grand march he saw at Washing
ton-the victors in review,
When his comrades brave, bore the bat.
tie SCARED flags, clad in the faded
blue.
Though many years have passed since
then--gone beyond rec,Sl,
The dear old flag he fought to save,
hangs gaily on the wall.
His heart beats warm for his comrades
true, his spirits light and gay,
But his wounded limbs refuse to act
upon Memorial day.
He sits there at the window, love light
in his eye.
Viewing the boys" who were com
rades once, as they 90 marching by
As his eyes they glanced along the line
at those veterans old and grey,
He thinks OF the time in 81, when they
were blithe and gay.
He sees in the ranks of those heroes
tonce boys with manly pridel
Who stood at his side in battle array
while col rades fell at his side.
Then to his mind comes picture OF the
duties of the day,
The waving flags, the messy mounds
all decked with flowers gay
He unused on those ranks growing thin
ner, falling out, one by one,
Their life's weary work completed-a
heavenly crown well won.
