Washington, Nov. l9.-Popular
primaries to determine the choice
of collectors of internal revenue,
post masters, marshals and sur
veyors Is the latest plan of tho
Democratic Party. Congressman
of that party who have arrived for
the session of Congress which be-
gins IN Decemb Der are planning to
adjust for tho Democrats of the
various communities Iu their dis
trlcts the question of whom to ln-
dorse tor the various Federal posi-
tons. These Democratic Congress
men already have been besleNed
with applications, numbering at
least twenty Tor each place, and
they believe that 10y the primary
system they can save themselves
from political obliteraiion at the
hands of disappointed ofiice-seek-
ers.
Two of the most conspicuous
partisaus of this new plan are Rep
resentstive Humphreys, of Missis-
sippi, and Beail, of Texas.
Of course, such a primary would
not be binding legally, but the
congressman say they would be
guided i'll its choice for the i'm
portant postmasterships, and they
believe the president and the post
master general would abide by the
will of the democratic citizens ex-
pressed in tire primary.

CURB STOCKS.

j. A. Minnear & Co. say today
In the last hour there was wave OF
selling which eliminated practically all
of the substantial gains made in the
morning. The New York fist was es-
pecially weak and this downward
movement was probably helped by the
disastrous fire in that city. Copper
shares were strong at the opening. The
Copper Producers statement showed
a further decrease i'm the surplus
stocks of 23,330,OO0 Buying of stocks
in the Boston market was scattered
through the entire list. The close found
them weak. The local market was ex-
tremely active and in the early ses-
sions, Old Colony, Mayaower, oneco
and Superior and Boston furnished a
large volume of business AT good price
advances. These gains were not held
lat the close Stocks eased off in sym
pathy with the eastern markets.

character and by people who believe
that the recent strike will prove TO be
of great value and will in the future
put these two properties on paying
basis. Personally We do not believe
that one good drin core shows very
much and except as a speculation we
do not advise either stock unless they
have a fair reaction. The copper re-
port was very satisfactory, showing a
decrease Of 22.000.000 pounds. But its
effect had evidently been discounted
and the marKet was over bought. The
New York list ran off sharply after
noon and attempts to take profits in
the local list ana the catching of stop
orders caused slightly lower prices
We think this reaction has greatly
strengthened the position ana advise
everyone TO take advantage of IL to
pick up more eoppers.-Foster To
