MT. and Mrs. T. T. Powers were callers at the R. c. Stanford home Thursday evening and incidentally witnessed marriage ceremony by being there at just the right time. They were very much impressed by the talk which the judge gave the young couple, as is his custom to al! who come to him to be married, and said he surely made them feel that that contract would never be broken.
 The Sunday school classes of MT. Hirschy and Mrs. Maekey had a most enjoyable picnic at East Lake Park last Saturday. They went on a hay rack from the school house at 10 a. m., and did not return until D. m.. having most bountiful dinner and supper and getting tiie right kind of appetite by playing games. Oh, what a good time!

largementS shown in the worlds avail able stock of wheat led to a setback today in wheat prices here. The mar ket closed heavy, as to 1 cent net lower, with December at S1.54A and May at $1.54%. Corn finished un- changed to l. cent down oats off B to h@% and provisions at a decline of 1212 to 50 cents.
 Notwithstanding that wheat devel- oped fresh strength during the first half of the session. the market later was unable to resist the weight of of ferings which were precipitated by as sertions that the world supply was the largest ever known at this season. The available stock totals had in- creased 1,759000 bushels as compared with last week and was nearly S9,OOO.- 900 bushels more than was the case a year ago. In the selling that followed the announcement of these figures, shorts as well as longs took a free hand, leaving the market in the end at nearly the lowest prices of the day. Leading Chicago interests were said to have been conspicuous in the short selling, whereas Wall Street concerns were reported as having released to a notable extent on holdings
 Corn prices were governed largely by the action of wheat. Oats like wheat were bearishly influenced by reports of increasing stocks.
 Provisions lacked support Close:
 Wheat: Dec. $154A; May $1543s.
 Corn: Dec. 72Bc; May .76Ac
 Oats: Dec. 4S$c; May 51asc

FINANCES AND MARKETS

NEW YORK. Sept 26-(Wall Street. Trading in stocks today proceeded in a more orderly and rational manner, the sharp reversal of yesterdays final hour evidently having a sobering ef- feet upon the more Venturesome specu- l3tive element Dealings were again very large and broad, amounting to 1565,0O9 shares making the seven- teenth straight session in which sales have reached or far exceeded the mil lion mark.
 The greater activity was shown in the first and final hours, the former being marked by strong opening and sudden declines while the flag end of the session was noteworthy for the strength of rails, some of which rose Co the best quotations of the last year or two.
 The strength of investment issues probably resulted from some brilliant statements of railway earnings issued m the course of the day. These in cluded the annual report of the South ern Pacific company. showing a gain in net income of more than fifteen per cent and the August returns of the Atchison road. which disclosed a net increase of $l,632 900.
 United States Steel, which continued to lead the list, was watched with special interest because of it's abrupt decline from yesterdays record price of $l.20 to below S1.15. On very large transactions steel rose 119 points to SL62la declined to O1.13% and closed unchanged at S115.
 Sugars were among the foremost issues, with new records for Cuban American, American Beet and Cuba Cane al gross advances of ? to 1 points.
 Coppers, equipments and motors, Stutz proving the exception in the last named group, were firm to strong and utilities. particularly the gas stocks, were in better demand.

GLOBE PROPERTY
 COMING ID FRONT
Special to The Republica an)

GLOBE, Sept. 26.-AnOther big DOT phrv copper property is in the making in this district in the opinion of min- ing men who have made a careful eX- animation of the property of the Miami Consolidated Mines company, which has just been organized here by John s. Cook, founder of the banking house of John s. Cook and company in Gol6field, Nev., and now head of the old Dominion bank here; Harry and Louis Lefkovitz of Alaska and Nevada mining fame, and their as sociates. The company is incorporat- ed at $2,500,0G0 and consists of 62 claims. comprising approximately 1200 acres of ground, which were pur- chased from 19 prospectors all of whom nave shown their confidence in the venture by participating in the new corporation.
 The holdings of the Miami Consoli- dated Mines company lie in the great Miami copper belt on which are situ- ated the Miami Copper company, the Inspiration Consolidated Copper com pany and the Inspiration Needles Copper company. The new companys ground adjoins the best holdings of the two last named corporations. In the last fifteen years, during which time the ground now in the consolidation was being worked by in dNiduals, a great deal of development was done on the various claims and more than 1000 tors of rich ore was shipped just prior to the time that the panic of 1907 sent down the price of the red metal. Had it not been for the financial disturbance at that time the claims would doubtless have been fully developed and probably at this time would make up another big pro- ducer of the type of the Miami and | Inspiration.
 Messrs Cook and Lefkovits did not identify themselves with the new pro- | iect until they had made a thorough l investigation of the property and had l received favorable report on it from | Major J H. Dockweiler, the noted mining engineer of San Francisco. That the financial standing of the | corporation is assured is shown by the fact that these mon have been willing to participate in the company.
 Drill holes sunk to a depth of 400 i feet on the Miami Consolidated hold l inSs. adjoining the Live Oak and Key stone which are the richest ground in the Inspiration Consolidated prop erty. show returns identical with those obtained at the same depth at the Live Oak. There is no reason to be- lieve that the great sulphide ore body encountered at the 700 foot level on the adjoining Inspiration ground. The surface indications all point towards this culmination of the work that has already been begun on the Miami Con solidated and it is anticipated here
 that Miami Consolidated will write 5 new chapter in the splendid story that is being told by the coppers.
