NEW YORK LETTER. New York, Sept. 24. Stocks opened slightly lower but at the decline met with quite a little support from Influential sources. Copper and Smelters were again in the lime l!f?ht, the former opening under ') and tho latter r.nred off fully r point and one-half. The opening prices, however, were about the lov-it of tb session. Another cut in tin- prlci of the metal to fifteen cents flat per pound for the bnt grades of copper was assigned as tho cause of the weakness. A few of the professional tiphters are circulates? rumors broadcast to the effect that the next dividend on Amalgamated Copper will be at tho rati of 4 per cent. There can bo no r al authentic foundation for this ruinor as the- directors do not rru-tt for a month hence. These rumors are based upon the fact that , tho company's earnings will undoubtedly show larga net decreases owing to the severe slump In the metal market from 25 cents to 15 cents per pound. One noteworthy feature to the Amalgamated Copper stock is the fact that every time It dips under $G0, excellent rupportlng orders appear. The old Burlington stock sold "cxdlvldend" this morning 2 per cent and 6 per cent extra. This should be a bull card upon Northern Pacific and Great Northern as tho largest part of. this distribution will find its way Into the Hill coffers. The market was narrow and professional throughout the day although the tone of the market was firm. Union Pacific advanced About a point; Smelters one and one-half; Copper two points and Reading one. The balance of the list remained quiet and Inactive. HEW YORK STOCK MARKET Descp. Open Atchison ... 87 Mr Am. Sugar 113 Amal. Cop. 6 1 Vi Am. Smelt 904 Anaconda .. 3SVi Am.

CHICAGO LETTER. Chicago, Sept. 24. WHEAT Had a range of a cent a bushel, the May option opening weak at 106, selling down to 105 and up to 100; tho December sold at 99 early, later rallied to 100. closing strong at the latter figure. At the opening of the market there was a general disposition to sell wheat based upon tho lower cables, laok of confirmation of the largo exports reported yesterday and larger arrivals of new wheat than expected. The boars, however, overdone tho selling and were compelled to buy back their short contracts on the advance. The expectation that there would be a large line of December wheat thrown on the market after it dipped under $1.00 on stop orders did not materialize. On the cont!ary, there were liberal supporting orders to buy on a scale down from 1.00, this support checked any further decline and caused considerable nervousness upon the part of shorts. Tho news in a general way was of a rather bullish tenor with tho exception of tho foreign markets which showed a weaker tendency, Liverpool being quoted three quarters of a penny lower; Paris five to ten centimes lower and Berlin slightly weaker. Receipts of wheat at the two principal points in the northwest were larger than the previous week. Southwestern markets report the grain arriving more freely and of a good quality. Bradstreets worlds visible shows an Increase in wheat of 5,708, 000 against 4.563.000 a week ago. CORN This pit had a genuine frost caro and as a consequence shorts were frightened in at an advance of over a Cfnt a bushel. May corn sold up a cent from the opening retaining almost the entire gain up to the closing hour. The corn market is simply a weather affair. A few trlgl-.t sunshiny days in the corn belt and ;;u speculative market will drop back Just as easily as. it advanced today. Another bull factor which carried somewelght was the arrivals of old-mrn did not near reach th,a estimates? figures. Thcr. were only 715 car against S15 estimated. The cash situation shows signs of a strained condition; eastern houses and exporters are pot as eager to buy corn as they were

a few days ago. The market closed firm at the advance. OATS Followed the course of the other grain pits, opening weak and closing strong. There was fair support discernible on the decline, particularly for the more deferred months. The cash demand does not respond very readily to the speculative advances.

cash oats in the sample market were practically unchanged from yesterday while exporting houses look askance at the offers made to them. The closing prices in the speculative market were strong at about the best figures of the session. PRODUCE MARKETS.

Rather lighter demands for stocks in loan crowd. Trar.s-Atlantlc rate war becoming more acute. Standard Oil hearing to tee resumed this morning. Southern Iron markets still continue very inactive. I hear Reading will be the leader on tho r.ext upturn. Bond houses talking more cheerfully of Increasing investment demand. I personally feel the market Is a pur chase, especially when weak. Sinn. Londan Consols firmer but mining and copper stocks in London depressed The market looks tired. I would not advise purchases at these figures. Slade. Expected further reductions In cop per by selling agencies will be made this week. Market looks weak; has not much support, will probably sell off further Henderson. Issue price for New Haven stock expected In few weeks to be 125 Instead of 150 as planned six months ago. Approaching fall will be most prosperous season for Kansas flour milling industry on record. Unusually large currency receipts from Interior for time of year ascribed to business recessions. London weak. Copper situation does not seem to be clear yet. I personally feel the market is a purchase, espec ially when weak. Conservative steel Interests believe 2 per cent rate on steel common can be properly maintained even in case of large contraction In business. First National bank ehows largest gain in cash in bank statement and with National City and Bank of Com merce heaviest increase In loans. There was fair trading In tho bond issues and for the first time the City tends 'showed some reactionary ten dency, but transactions were not aa heavy as last week. Investors will find it to their ad , vantage in the near future to make purchases, fnd we think the good dividend paying railroads are cheap at around present prices. Prices were easier at tho opening, due to lower quotations from London on account of the reduction in the Copper metal, and traders who had bought stocks last week, liquidated and declines of from 1 to 3 per cent were scored throughout the list. The situation at large does not seem to become any worse, and in some quarters it is even felt that the finan- ; cial situation Is Improving somewhat, however there is a great deal of room left and present conditions do not Jus tlfy any active business and Ave will have a dull spell for some time to come, We have discussed the various active issues in recent letters, and our views remain unchanged. We think that all stocks have seen their worst, as stated a week ago, and that the tendency is to slowly Improve. To pick out the best purchases is a good deal a matter I of luck; we consider all the speculative , favorites good on moderate reactions, I Rldgely. Some of the most experienced mar ket observers are of the opinion that the genegal tendency of quotations will be toward higher levels. They appreciate the fact that monetary conditions are not such as to offer en couragement for a big bull specula tion but on the other hand they see no good reason for expecting anything more than moderate reactions. While the market did not make much headway today, the tone was very encouraging. The dullness on the declines reflected an absence of selling on the part of the Interests who have been prominent on the long side of late. Trading is still confined to a few stocks, with the outside trade rather limited. Prices closed with a rallying tendency on the anticipation of a good bank statement tomorrow. Structural material continues active, several orders of importance in the aggregate having been reported. The premium which the principal makers secured on plates for several months has now entirely disappeared. In sheets deliveries are much improved. Steel bars are in active demand from the agricultural implement interests but iron bars are out of demand and prices are weaker. It is officially announced that the output of Copper In the Butte district is 60 rer cent Instead of 50 per cer.t as was the original intention last week and that the production today is only at the rate of about 40 r-er cent of the production for the first four months of 1907. The mines will bo operated on this bat-is for the time but if conditions do not improve a further reduction will be promptly made as there is no disposition on the part of the miners in that district and especially the Amalgamated Copper company to mine any large tauaaUtj of material for which there is lmnzsdlti te and prompt market.

IHDIAHA PROSPEROUS Boom in Property Values Accompanied by Many Decreases in Taxes. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 24. Al though farm land and other property has increased greatly in value in nearly all of the counties of Indiana, the land owners will not be called upon, except in a few counties, to bear the burden of increased taxes. Reports taken from orer the state show that in most of the counties where the assessment has been raised, the tax rate has been lowered so no additional burden will be Imposed upon the property owner. In some counties the tax rate has been decreased to such an extent that the actual expense to the property own ers will be even less than it has been in previous years. In many cases this has been due to the good condition of the roads. Givel roads have been com pleted and the counties have no expense to face along this line. Reports show also that nearly all counties are In excellent condition financially. In Johnson County, for example, the tax rate Las been reduced for two reasons, the property has increased in valuation, and the county Is well supplied with bridges. The expense of eonstractiriff bridges which has been borne for years, is now at an end.
