Wsll and his attorneys cay that the case will be taken up to the Supreme court of the United States, v Although the call on the mining ex-, ex-, change Saturday morning was active and a good day's business was- done, the day was very unsatisfactory to Investors In-vestors for the reason that nearly every stock on the list showed a depreciation in value. Indeed, there was not a single sin-gle case of an advance. . Eagle & Blue Bell did some business at 90c, but the stock 6hould be higher. May Day, whjle it went no lower than Friday afternoon, did not advance as was. expected and sold down as low as 29V4c and showed weakness at that price, although there was apparently a good demand for the stock, which was held at only 29c at the close. Victoria was strong on the news of intended shipments, and advanced rap-Idly rap-Idly to $2.22. but the demand was soon filled and the stock dropped off to . $2.20 asked. Beck Tunnel showed weakness and . sold down to 8c. although there was small demand and the stock was held up again at once. Little Chief was at the usual figures of 2c to 2c and Martha Washington sold small blocks at lc. New York was affected by the general gen-eral depression and sold down from 24c to 20c, although it advanced again to 21c on the open board. - Victor Con. remains at 6c to 6c, and closed weak and shaky. Yankee Con. maintained its strength bolstered by the money known to be in ' the treasury and was strong at 33 c Caiisa was unchanged at 14c, and Lower Mammoth was to be had at 19c. which is a good price for the stock at the present time.

COPPEB BULLION OUTPUT REOOBD IS AGAIN BROKEN. Again this week was the. copper bullion bul-lion output record of the independent valley smelters broken into bits. There has been no halt at the Independent plants, and the march of progress has been unchecked. In spite of the great record made a week ago by both the Bingham Con. and the Utah Con., both these smelters increased their output materially, and the limit has by no means as yet been reached. The total output was exceeded by 6724 pounds, the principal advance be-irg be-irg made by the Utah Con., whose gain .as 5662 pounds. The Bingham Con. plant gained 2675 pounds, while the United States lost 1615 pounds. The week's total amounted to 996.261 pounds, which was divided as follows: Bingham Con ...308,296 United States 257,865 Utah Con 430,100 Total 996,261 To this amount must be added approximately ap-proximately 200,000 pounds from - the American smelter, making a grand total to-tal of 1,196,261 pounds. The e&uee of the Increase is undoubtedly the rise In the settling price of copper, which is now at the fine figure of 13c. This has encouraged the big shippers to increase in-crease their outputs, and has caused the little owners who have been holding hold-ing their ore for a favorable price to put it on the market.

SOME STOCKS MAKE NEW HIGH RECORDS NEW YORK. Nov. 26. The week in thetbck market was replete with interesting inter-esting events, not the least of these being be-ing the call upon the Government banks by the Secretary of the Treasury, causing caus-ing a flurry in money and lower prices in the general list. Recoveries came at the week's end. In some Instances, notably no-tably the United States Steel stocks and bonds, new high records were recorded. Trading was moderately- large, though commission-houses reported little increase in-crease of public demand. The opinion prevails that considerable liquidation has taken place in the past fortnight, and that the short Interest has increased. in-creased. The week brought numerous offerings of new bond Issues. Conditions in the steel and iron trade show steady improvement and is attested attest-ed by higher prices for products. Reports Re-ports agree that mercantile interests in ! almost every section are satisfactory and that the demands from this source will.be met with a material advance in the rates for time money. Railroad returns re-turns generally are better. i |
