mixture vas applied with wonderful eff

COPPER STOCKS OFF AGAIN
Surplus on Hand Here Makes
New Low Record.

The Copper Producers Association IN
its monthly report made public yesterday
showed stocks OF copper on hand Octo-
bcr OF 29.79309i pounds, decrease OF
s,520.9i3 pounds as compared with the
figures shown on September !. Produc-
ton Of the metal last month amounted
to 13l.4Ol,229 pounds. compared with l3l'-
$50. .262 pounds In August. Total deliveries
were l39 922. .172 pounds, OF which 66.SSt.ssf
were domestic and 73.O55. 275 foreign. De
liveries fell off 6s9l,09S pounds.
The September decrease In copper
stocks brings the total surplus I'm this
country down TO approximately @'So'O"
mounds. which is a new low record. The
important feature OF the September state
ment, however, was the loss In domestic
deliveries. the total being $4,000 less
than in August.
The position OF the large selling agen-
cles. which are holding copper at 1875 cents
a pound, will be strengthened by the
showing made last month. 1t was sald

Steel Car Agitation.

The agitation for steel cars now being
made in the United States may or may
not be good thing for the railroads. al
though as an experiment the steel car is
not a new idea. Many years ago there
was a demand for allsteel rolling STOCK.
but the cry for II died out when railroad
specialists argued that the possibility OF
loss OF life might be just as great IN a
steel car as I'm a car OF wooden construc-
tion. According to THE London Times"
all-steel passenger cars were in service on
Hungarian railways as early as 1880, and
cars with all steel framing were put on
the Central London Railway in 1902. How
ever, the adoption OF steel cars for rail-
way passenger service, except on tube
railways, has made little or no progress
in England. and on the Continent the all
steel car is still a matter of question.
After all. IL will remain for America to
establish the utility OF steel cars, and
the problem now seems to be how to IN
sure strength without increasing The
weight of car. There is considerable
debate regarding superiority OF the steel
car to the wooden car in saving life in case
OF accident. and European engineers.
while impressed with the advantages
claimed, are not convinced that there is
any justification for them, and they ere
willing to let the United States make the
experiments and demonstrate whether
steel or wooden cars are the better. In
the mean time steel cars will be an en-
pensive experiment il they prove to be un-
desirable, and the railroads must bear the
burden.

United States government per cent
registered bonds sold yesterday at private
sale at 95%. new low record. The
amount disposed of was $4,000 indicating
that practically any selling at all will

The weakness in the government 2s Is
due to the opposition of the bankers to

SUGAR OFF LIST
Stock Exchange Acts, Despite
Shareholders Vote.

The governing committee OF the Stock
Exchange, at the regular bi-monthly
meeting yesterday, voted TO strike from
the list the preferred and common stock
Of the Federal Sugar Refining Company
because of the company failure TO publish
at least once a year and submit TO its
stockholders a statement Of income and
balance sheet.
This action was taken by the exchange
despite a previous vote Of the Federal
Sugar stockholders in favor OF the with
drawal Of the stock from trading on the
"big board" The governing committee
had the alternative of accepting the de-
cision of the company's stockholders or
paying no heed to 1t by voting to strike
the stock from the list.
The committee also passed the follow
ing resolution concerning the recent
amendments to the stock transfer law OF
the State Of New York:
That the purchase of stock transfer
stamps from other than the agencies au-
thorized by law, or the failure to cancel
said stamps when used, as provided by
law, will be deemed an act detrimental
to the interest and welfare Of the ex-
change"
The committee on stock list recommend
ed that $2,J00,000 Of the Wisconsin Central
Railway first and refunding mortgage 4
per cent bonds, due 1859. be stricken from
the list, because subsequent to their list
ing In 1909. there was placed on the bonds
the following legend:
This bond must be accepted by
the holder on terms that, notwithstand-
ing anything contained herein or in the
trust mortgage, interest will be paid sub
ject TO deduction for British income tax
where chargeable and for any like tax i'm
posed in the United States Of America or

This legend. ii was said. destroyed their
availability as a delivery upon this ex-
change.
