NEW YORK MARKET
STILL PARALYzED
Prices Steady in the Stock
Division, But Copper
Is Weak

New York, July 14.-Continued paralysis
of speculation, to degree unparalleled
since the business of buying and selling
stocks attained the proportions regarded
as normal in recent years, was the feature
of todays market. Prices held fairly
steady, although late in the day some
of the leading stocks eased off, influenced
by the weakness of the copper group.
With few exceptions fluctuations did not
escape fractional limits. There was no
appearance of life in the market at any
time during the session. The days total
of transactions was only 1880 shares,
Weakness of the coppers were associated
with the rumor which has often done SER
vice in the past, although each time dis
credited subsequently,, to the effect that
the government was about to institute
proceedings against important copper in
terests. Smelling broke points, to with
in a fraction of the years low price,
and Amalgamated yielded a point. Canad-
ian Pacific also was exceptionally heavy
and Union Pacific at times Jagged be-
hind.
There was no development over the week
end to stimulate speculation The possi-
bllity of strike of conductors and train
men on eastern roads tended to restrict
trading although the days developments
were regarded as increasing the probable
tiles of a peaceful settlement. Resump-
tion of gold exports to Europe mad been
looked for, as 1t was expected that, con-
forming with the three previous move
ments of the year. $4000,0O0 or $5OoO,OOO
more gold would be sent out of the coun-
try. In addition to the $1,5O0000 engaged
for export today, tentative arrangements
we're made for another shipment or the
same amount. The years exports of gold
now amounts to S64,sS5,0O0. of which SAL
900 went to Europe, and the remainder
to South America.
There was few changes of importance
IN the bond market, although number oil
well known issues displayed a weakening
tendency. Total sales, par value, Sl,oi9o00.

Freezing Quicksand

While making excavations recently for
the foundation of a big building in Ber-
lin the workmen discovered that it was
necessary to go ten feet below the foun-
dation or the adjoining buildings, says
The Engineer. These structures rested
on Guicksand, which would have flowed
from under them had the engineers not
restored to an ingenious method to keep
the sand from slipping away. 1t con-
sisted in solidly freezing the sides of the
new excavation.
Ffve-inch freezing pipes, closed at the
bottom, were sunk three feet apart all
round the edge of the pit. The pipes
contained one-inch pipes that were open
at the bottom and connected with sup
ply header at the top. The five-inch
pipes were connected with a drain
header.
The brine, which was pumped from a
refrigerating plant, passed down the one
inch pipes. up the five inch pipes, back
into the drain header. and thence to the
brine tanks.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.,sLetter

New York. July 4.-(Special.) )--Despite
tho opening of business abroad with fav-
oring Liverpool advices. business here
has been excessively dull with underly.
ing steadiness.
The crop averages late, with consider
able possibility in either direction though
weather conditions are generally favor
able. The Times-D Democrat crop report
is mostly bearish. Demand from spin
ners is reported less active, and the census
bureau is about as generally expected.
Gables are steady, July deliveries showed
some activity on demand. Presumed to
be from belated Wall street shorts---with
little cotton offered, none from the south.
Ram is predicted for the southwest.
While the shorts are moderate buyers.
there is no outside speculative demand,
and trading restricted by average of bear
ish advices. Boil weev1ls are reported in
southern Arkansas

mines was 1e,76s.24 fine ounces, val
ued at $222,496, an increase over
ounces In quantity and Of t63,126 in
value. The silver output, recovered
entirely as by-product in refining
the gold, copper, and lead produced,
was 96.523 fine ounces, valued at $59.-
361, q decrease of 1852 ounces in
quantity but an increase of $2,065
In value. or the gold output in 1912
the placers yielded 774.S3 ounces,
against 1.447.28 ounces In 1911, and
the quartz or deep mines produced
s.30299 ounces. against 5,699.64
ounces in 1911. The copper mines
produced 562.so ounces in 1911 and
443.5o ounces In 1912, and the lead
mines produced 241.92 ounces in
1912. OF the so producing gold
placers in 1912, there were 20 in
Georgia, % in North Carolina, and s
in South Carolina. There were a.
S13 short tons OF siliceous ores sold
or treated from Appalachian gold
mines in 1912. Of which 1865 tons
were mineda in North Carolina, and
1883 tons in South Carolina chief
ly from the well-known lola and
Halle mines, which are the two
largest gold mines east of the Black
Hills. The average recovery OF gold
dncluding nominal recovery of sill
ver) per ton Of siliceous ores treated
in the Eastern States in 1912 was
$5.T2 The average for North Caro-
lima was $1062 and for South Caro-
lima the remarkably low figure of
$134.
The copper production in 1912 was

SS2--a decrease OF 339,441 pounds in
quantity but an increase Of S72S, EOS
in value. or the total output 1S.4eS,-
ITS pounds came from the Ducktown
district Of Eastern Tennessee, from
603,22s short tons of pyritic copper
ore treated. The remainder was
chiefly from Pennsylvania, where, at
the Cornwall iron mines. magnetic
separation of large .tonnages of mag
netite ores results in the recovery Of
copper-bearing pyrite. Maryland,
Virginia and North Carolina also con-
tributed to the copper output.
The production OF lead was SCI .026
pounds. valued at s25,24s, decrease
of 273,716 pounds in quantity and OF
$12,317 In value. The greater part
of the production was derived from
the lead-zlnc mines of Vythe county.
Va, as usual, but an output of $4,000
pounds was also reported from North
Carolina.
The zinc output. figured as speltor.
was 44,ess,S6S pounds, valued at
