Archie Bu9t as IA Hero.

ct is related by telegraph from
New York that among the hundredeN
on the Titanic's decks to the last
were Col. John Jacob AstOr and
Major Archibald Butt, President
Taft's military aide; Benz. Guggen-
helm, jacques FutreIle, George D.
Widener, Henry B. Harris and
scores of as we'll known persons. Is
idors Strauss was among them also,
with Mrs. Strauss, who refused to
leave her husband behind when she
had the opportunity to save her life.
Major Butt is reported to have
been one of the heroes. With an
iron bar in his hand he is said to
have stood at the steerage passage
and defended the women and chill
dren from the mad-stricken men in
that part of the, ship.
Colonel Astor is also said to have
mes his fate bravely after seeing his
bride to lifeboat, drawing aside to
watch other women step to safety
and awaiting his own fate.
1t was only because the maximum
capacity of the steamers lifehoats
were barely third the complement
of the chip in crew and in passen-
gers that hundreds of despairing
passengers had to be left to their
fate.

Metal Market Has Been Firm During the Week PrOduc CTS Statement Showed Smaller Reduction in the Stocks Than Had Been Expected

The stocks of copper carried by our producers are now down 10 62,539, ,9oS which is not very far from an ire ducible minimum. The stocks abroad are also comparatively small being but ll5,7i9,760 lbs. making a tOtal Of 17S,6S9,i4S lbs, as compared with a record total of 40I, ,3O1 ,2f7 lbs. on the first of July, 1910. It appears tC be true that stocks in Rotterdam and Amsterdam have been declining. bUg on the other hand there is understood to nave been an accumulation in France on which to base dealings .n warrants. The coal strike in Grea. Britain has retarded consumption 10 that country, but is a mater of only eew days longer, according to the cables. I his being so, no very lm portant reduction in the demand is eN. pected, while there has uHdOubtedl / been a brighteEing of the business outlook in the tinted States, which indicates an increased consumption al home during the srring and summer Producers are well satisfied with their position and believe that prices vii tend upward rather than downward ElectroiytiC has been sold freely al n 5-S cents for April and May de livery.
