NEW YORK, July 5.-Nearly a
nalf-year has gone by since the New
York Stock Exchange began meas
ures OF reform, and ii is possible to
gain a retrospective view OF the re-
suits obtained. 1t may be said that
the leaders in the movement are sat
isfied with what has been accom-
plished toward improving the general
morale OF operations in securities, and
the groundwork laid for lifting the
exchange above public reproach they
believe to be secure.
The government committee has, in
the first place, made application in
recent months of the old adage about
an ounce of prevention and a pound
OF cure. The committee has worked
TO eliminate incipient evils before
they grew large enough to be sub
1ects OF general comment in the
Street. The inf1iction OF discipline
and there has been much discipline
infiicted-has been gone about quiet
ly, with the purpose of curbing in
fraction Of the rules before greater In
fractions could occur. The effort has
met with much success.
In consequence, largely, the ex-
change is entitled to considerable sat
isfaction over the fact that while re-
cent sharp declines in the interna T.
tional markets brought in their train
a number of failures in London, Paris
and Berlin, not a single New York
Stock Exchange house got into trou-
BILE.
Manipulation Dead.
Manipulation is dead on the ex-
change said a prominent member
yesterday. The governors have
placed themselves so rigidly in OPP
position to every possible method OF
creating a fictitious market for 4
stock that no one would dare make
the attempt. An outside operator
might possibly try 1t, but the odds
are greatly against any Stock EX-
change house keeping his account II
his trading became a matter of sus-
piciOn. There is no doubt about that.
The committee on business conduct
would take care Of that end of the
problem"
The committee on business conduct
is, without doubt, the best adjunct to
proper management of the exchange
that has been added to the executive
power in many years The commit
tees function is to enforce proper
conduct between members and their
clients, to prevent reckless or unbusi-
nesslike transactions on the board
room floor, and to throttle manipula .
ton. The scope of its influence is
clearly seen In these three items.
Committee of Wide Powers.
The business conduct committee
consists of FIVE members, all of whom
are members of the governing COM
mittee. The members have the power
of examining the books of any Stock
Exchange house at any time, to sum-

CON. MERCUR TO PAY
ANOTHER DIVIDEND
Three Cents a Share Will Be
Checked Out on June
25th.

Shareholders of the Consolidated Mer~
cur Gold Mines company are enjoying
tho unique experience of receiving divi
dends with a regularity that seemingly
is inconsistent with the fact that their
mine and mill are closed down and the
proposition admittedly is worked out to
the point OF exhaustion. In July, 1912,
the company paid a dividend of cents
q share, and another dividend of like
amount will be checked out on June %.
This calls for 100000. bringing the total
TO date OF this particular company to ST.
go. 900
The funds for this new dividend were
derived from a cleaning up around the
big mill. and while 1t may be the final
dividend from the resculng of odds and
ends OF bullion which have escaped the
eye of the mana cement heretofore, II Is
probable that before the company finally
winds UP its business and asks TO be dis
solved there Will be other dividends posi-
BILE from the disposal of machinery and
equipment at the mine and mill. There
cry a the disposal OF the directors. and
this should be disposed OF without much
difficulty some time soon.
While the MerCur district ma turally
misses the Consolidated Mercur company
operations, which employed 600 or TOO
men. the old camp is still alive and there
are two smaller mills now in opera tlon
there. Mercur doubtless will be on the
map for an indefinite period, and some
opened. OF some Improvement in metal
lurgical practice may be devised by
which the camp may be restored TO some
thing like its former activity.

MAY DAY MEETING
COMES Up MONDAY
Directors May Settle Question
of Making Zinc Shipments
at Present.

The directors of the May Day com
which the usual business for the month
will be transacted There is disposi
tion to believe also that the officials
will have up for consideration the mat
ter Of continuing the limited prodnc.
tion of zinc ores or stopping the same
altogether until the spelter market is
restored to something akin to it's old
time strength marketwise The swift
advance of spelter during 1912 brought
the May Day rather unexpec tedly to
the zinc production point, and so sue.
cessful was the management that one
dividend of cents share was posi-
BILE before the speter boom was pune
tured,
Under the existing low range of the
metal the May Day company is severely
handicapped. for the general run OF
zinc ore is such that it cannot be
broken and shipped as easily as durine
the high-priced days of last year This
necessitates the sorting Of the zinc ores
that high-grade product may be OBJ
tanned, meaning considerable increase
In the cost Of production and narrow
profit ranges
There is a disposition to believe that
it would be better economy to cease
zinc ore shipments at present, rather
than dispose of ore that might be
shipped at small profit, saving every
thing in the hope that the metal mar.
ket may be materially improved in
time, and the whole tonnage broken
and disposed of under far more profit
able circumstances. 1t should be d
matter Of qualification to the officials
that the lead ore resources arc being
developed In manner that gives prom.
ise of keeping the company in the pro.
duction column until the metal market
shows advancement

FEDERAL MAY CLOSE
THE MORNING MINE

There is a. rumor current in Idaho that
the Federal Mining & Milling company
may decide TO close down the Morning
mine at MuIlan. The Federal company
so far has neither affirmed nor denied
this report. but it Is being held TO with
such persistence that many believe the
supposition correct. The rumor is sub
stantiated by the fact that 1ifty-six men
were laid off a few days ago and they
have not been re-employed nor have
men been employed to take their places
at the property,
No reason is given for the suspension
OF operations but some believe 1t due to
the difficulties experienced in properly
handling the milling grade ores OF the
mine, Whether this means an indefinite
suspension OF operations or a temporary
lull to admit Of mine or mill improve
ments Is a question that awaits state
ment Of the officials.

COPPER SHARES At
VERY LOW RANCE
May Average Lowest Gained
in Years, Despite Higher
Metal Range.

The average OF copper prices during the
month Of May was 1886 cents a pound.
as compared with 1921 cents In April
and 16.0S1 cents In May, 1912. Producers
during May were encouraged to an in
creased copper production by the ex-
tremely large exports which authorities
agreed were a safe measure Of the con-
sumption abroad and by the limited
worlds supplies OF the metal SO the
pro6ts to producers during May must
have been satisfactory.
Yet the copper stocks failed TO reflect
in any degree throughout the month OF
May the favorable position OF the metal.
copper shares in May was below any
point gained in over year past. the
age low Sis 50. and the average close
high in May. 1912, of $500 average low,
s5S,2S. and average close, $500.
The difficulty appeared to be the un-
satisfactory financial and political condi.
evident supposition that copper would moi
long continue bright spot upon the
dark financial and industrial horizon. The
metal has recently developed a weakness
eral rule. due not so much TO decreased
consumption as to the expectation thai
the demand would be restricted London
spectators, therefore, appear to have
precipitated the market weakness, find
Ing conditions not conducive to support
either at home or abroad.
1t is likely that copper Will continue tc
hold considerable uncertainty marlSetwist
until the world takes heart and loses
some of the pessimism that now char
acterizes all lines of endeavor. No dras'
tic slump In copper is logical, but the
unexpected may happen. Tight money
and the state of mind that exists amone
investors form a combina ton that will
keep the public out Of tho stock markets
no matter how low and attractive diVl'
dend issues appear.

the many disappointments In that re-

CHAMP P|ONSH|PS ARE
OBJECT OF CONTESTS
Stampede Scheduled for indie
pendence Day Promises
to Be Big Event.

Although there is still a month yet
before the world e championship con
tests in connection with the stampede
which is to be held at the state fair
grounds beginning July 4 will begin,
the plans have progressed so favorably
anu such a widespread interest has been
caused that officials expect one Of the
most important gatherings of frontier
characters ever seen in the west.
The management is anxious to correct
the impression that the stampede is
merely wild west show. While it
naturally will have some of the fea-
lures similar to those usually found in
connection with wild west shows, the
purpose of the stampede is to deter
mine the world s championships in
such contests as riding bucking horses
bareback riding, bronco roping, steer
buIldogglng, fancy roping, trick riding,
etc For each Of these events, except
the steer bulldogging, women are en-
tered III the contests, as are men, there
being special classes for women. The
championships which will be awarded
will be the first official champion
ships, for the reason that heretofor
there has been no organization to con-
troll the events or record the records
made of the championship winners.
This office will now be filled in the
International frontier contest commits
sion, which has been organized for the
purpose. AS the stampede is the first
contest to be held under the sanction
of this commission, the records made
and the championships won will be the
only ones officially recognized.
One big feature Of the stampede will
be the fidelity with which the events
which make up the programme will de-
pict the early life in the west Five
hundred Indians from Fort Hall, Ida,
will be brought here, and many of them
will enter the various contests. In ad.
dItlon there will be special races for
the Indians and special features on the
in which they will take
part. They will also be a big feature
Of the street parade planned for the
morning of July q, in which more than
500 people will take part. The Indians
will be dressed in war paint and
feathers and other characters will be
garbed IN costumes appropriate for the
occasion.
