Monthly Report aDhtappointment tothe Trade.
Contrary to the general expectations of tho trade
th« monthly report of the Copper Producers* Asso-
ciation made public yesterday instead of showing a
decrease in the stocks on hand showed an in-
crease of about 13.600.0P0 pounds. The total stocksof copper on hand F*>pt#mner 1. according to thereport, were 185.196.5G0 pounds, as compared with122.r»>»,fifv: pounds on August 1. The deliveries for
the month were 10T.9%,991 pound b, the smaliest sincelast March. while- the production Increased to ISO.-F97.^4 pounds, th^ largest month's output onrecord.
The statement was a disappointment to the trade.which looked upon itas distinctly unfavorable and
as tending to weaken the strong position -whichthe, metal h«s been orvupyln* pine* the showing
made a month asro. when the Copper Producers'report showed a decrease of 33.000.0i10 pounds Instocks on hand. Th« decrease of 42.643.146 pounds
In total dellreries for August, as compared withthose mad» in July, was attributed to the fact
that the bulk of the copper pold in Aprl! and May
was delivered In June and July.
COPPER STOCK INCREASE.
The packers saw no relief Ineight until the win-
ter months, when the fanners may begin to sand
In corn-fed cattle. They were Inclined to beneve
that prices would not go much higher. An Inde-pendent packer resented any charge that prices
were manipulated by a beef trust; he said that
the price was elmply a matter of supply and de-
mand. As proof of this contention he cited thepresent low price of the lower grades of range beef
from Texas and Colorado.Another packer cald he had Just sold 260 Texas
eteers for $7 02 a hundred, which meant a loss of$5 a head. "There are so many of this grade ofcattle In the market," he said, "that we are lucky
to sell at any price. In order to get a. fair profitwe should pet at leaat $8 a hundred."
As for the butchers, the only ones who are smll-
Injr and eayinsr nothing are those who deal hi th»cheaper grades of beef. They are takingadvantage
of the low prices and selling at the same oldfigures.It was a different story with bntehers who eell
the better grades of beef. Their trade Is In the
best onta, and they can't get them. When they
do get them they have to pay from 11 to 12 centsa pound for hind quarters and sell at summerprices. It would 6eem, they said, that they w"eremaking a good profit, but. as a matter of fact. It
was alleged they were not, owing to the wast©
from trimming, suet and cheap cut* Itwas only
a matter of time, they eald, before prices wouldhave to be raised to the consumer.
The return of families from the seashore daring
September and October will only aggravate th«present situation. One packer said the only-way
a man would be able to get a good steak would be
to go to the first class hotels and restaurants,
which always hare first call, owing to their large
orders.
Tough Steak the Dire Prospect and
Retail Prices May Rise.The man of the house who goes home at night
and sits down to a tough porterhouse steak orplrloln roRBt must not blame his wife. the cook orthe butcher, for they are a!l doing the beat they
ran. They simply cannot get the choice eut»— that
is all; for there. Is a great scarcity of oorn-fedfancy cattle In the market.
The principal packers In this city said yesterday
that the farmers out "West are selling their cornrather than feed It to their cattle, hence the ahortsupply of fancy beef.
Wholesale prices, they said, had been a/Nance*one-half to one cent a pound. Hind Quarters wereselling at 11 to H!i cents, and even as high as 13
cents a pound.

CONDITION OF TRADE.Dunn's Review says:
The price situation in leading departments oftrade is proving a factor of overshadowing Im-portance, and in some directions causes ina.kcxlconservatism in purchases, but the demand toreplenish stocks, which will grow more urgent asthe need becomes great t, is expected to soonstart an unusually active buying movement. In-dustrially the outlook is as brilliant as ever, par-ticularly In the fundamental iron and steel trade,in which prosperity cannot exist except that thecrops promise abundantly and the other productivepowers of th untry are profitably employed. InNew England the cotton mills continue active,although the primary market for cotton goods lafor the moment quiet. Men's wear mills are busy,but In footwear factories are awaiting returnsfrom salesmen only rerentlv started out. Hidesand leather are gradually adjusted to new condi-tions, but prlcei are firmly maintained. Statisticsof building operations testify to the activity inthat direction. Taking the country at large, thereis a notable freedom from industrial disputes. Thevery satisfactory employment ol labor must soon:i<liito retail purchases, which now expand slowly.Financial conditions are for the time being lesssettled, due In'part to the speculative development,and in part to the uncertainty as regards themoney market In the Immediate future; largecrops usually need much currency to move them,and the Treasury, it is reported, will have to bor-row heavily. lii spite of some improvement, theImmense visible1 supply continues to make the posi-tion of copper less secure man thai of othermetals. While there may be some exaggeration Inthe reports of deterioration of the cotton crop,there hns been beyond question a decided fallingoff In conditions, <iue to drouth, but the moneyvalue of the <•!•.•!> Insures the South anything butit calamitous season. Railroad earnings for Augustare 12.0 per cent larger than a year a^o. but 7.0per ••-iit under the corespondlng time in 19<:»;. duemainly to the loss at New York City; omlttlna;New York, there Is a' gain of V* per cent at otheileading cities. Foreign commerce improves slowly,for the latest week the total at New York Citybeing $4.43i.4:!7 larger than a year ago nn.l $1,957,993over 19W, the Improvement being notable In <-x-JlOl'S.IIradstn et's says:
Operations In Industrial lined are still expanding,nn<> in Bon»«» branches of the Iron and st»-. 1 traderonrd outputs are the r lie In fai t. manufaetur-ing 's In the forefront as regards tlvity,and Insoniti branches »kUl>-il vroritinen are not plentifulenough to rupply the demand.

Contests forLeadership Come Up Before Jus-tice Guy, Who Adjourns Two Cases.
The first of the annual court proceedings overcontested primary elections oame before JusticeGuy yesterday. There were on the calendar ESSapplications, made by counsel for J. Edward Jetter,
who Is contesting the Tammany leadership of the
29th Assembly District with Thomas B. Rush, thepresent leader, to hnve the names of thos« \u25a0whohad die<l or had removed from th» district strickenfrom the list of voters enrolled and entitled to voteat the coming primnry, to be held on September 21.
Some 233 applications of a similar character wer«on the calendar from the 13th Assembly District,
where Edward Doyle Is endeavoring to oust John
F. Curry, Deputy County Clerk, from the Tam-many leadership.
Justice Guy, in adjourning all the cases from
both Assembly districts, said the Ptatute ought to
be amended so as not to require the signing of a
separate order to show cause in every case, as this
entailed an immense amount of unnecessary work
on the part of the Justice, who had to sign the
orders to show cause, and the. samo might be saidna to the lawyers, who had to file the 7f17 notes of
Issue. It was stated that Justice Qiegorich hadsigned about one hundred more orders to show
cause In various Assembly districts, which will
also come up for hearing on Monday.
TAMMANY FIGHTS IN COURT.

Corporation Follows Lead of Inde-pendents.
The I'nlted States Bteel Corporation, followingthe lead taken by the independent steel companiesat the beirinning of the week, has made an advanceof fla ton In the price of steel bars, plates and\u25a0tructural ateeL The eonoera'a quotationa for Bteeiban nnd stnictural steel are now fl 45 a hundredpounds, and for Bteel bars $1 4f>. The base pricoaof the Steel Corporation are still, however, belowthe quotations of the independent companies.
Ever since tho rise in prices tuignil the SteelCorporation has kept its quotations about $1 a ton
below the ni'ices of the independents. This haabeen due portly to a eonserrathre policy on thepart of the corporation and partly to its ability tomanufacture •steel at a cheaper cost. The SteelCorporation, it is stated, has no Intention of con-ducting an auieaalve campaign for higher quota-tions, and tho present advance of $1 a ton Is due.It Is Bald, to the congested condition of the millsand Inability to make deliveries.
It la estimated that a total of 2,50n,f100 tons cfbusiness was booked by the various steel companiesIn August, the value of the orders plaoed amountingto between $7.r>.OOO.nno and $100,000,000. The earn-ings of the various companies for the current quar-
ter. It Is said, willbe larger than In any precedingquarter since tho latter part of 1007. Th« UnitedStates Steel Corporation, according to Wall Streetestimates, will show total earnings for the currentquarter of probably $37,500,000, or approximately$5,000. 000 in excess of what they were In the lastquarter.

Governor Speaks in AssemblymanPhillips'* Count and at Olean.
Cuba, JC. Y., S«»pv 10.—<Vrv<rn.>r Hughes wound upa hand day's work here this afternoon, when he«pok« before e. crowd of from MMt" 7.000 personsat the o*uT>a fair. Efjpaetal Interest attached to tIMGovernor's visit to thin \illaee from the fact thatit ts in eany County, the. home of Assemblyman
J«-«o 6. Phillips, who was alMsraaaa In the lastLegislature of the committee which refused to
report th* Hlnman-Groen direct nominations Mil;
Btsa hi a member of irse AmbJUt committee ap-
pointed to Investigate the working of direct pri-
maries In other states, and who Is considered astrong NHBi to the Governor on the proposed
legislation. Senator Witter, also opposed \u25a0 directnominations, repraaanta the county in tb» Senate.
Possibly with these frtrts In view, ttM Governorvent much mn into the details of the Hinman-
Green bill, embodying his ideas of direct primaries,
than has been his custom. The contrail wasmarked in this respect between the apearh here and
the tpoech at Olean in the BMroii At Olean he
talked in general terms of the. principle* of direct
nominations; here, -xithout mentioning the Hinman-Green bOI by name, he answered one of tba main
objections that have been made by ita opponenta,
namely, that the selection of candidates by noUucalcommittees would giv* the politicians \u25a0 great ad-
vaj.ta«e over the busy v<rter. and that the system
would lead to a. multiplicityof candidate*.As to the f,r*tobjection, said the Governor, itmay
b« assumed that politfeal comxnitteemen."nvill
Uiat their aeleed must b« i>asM-.l on directly
by Iba voters, would DOt hav. the temerity to ae-
lect an umit can.lMate for the voters to accept or
reject. Jf. however, they *ooM do so. the most
obvious result would be that tho voters themselves.
Idesiring the defeat of the unfit man, would be led
to unite on boom good man."It haa been charged," said the Gowrnor. "that
such a bill would oar the poor nian from being acandidate. That is just what it would not do. It
would give- to th*> poor nan, the man who is busy
earning a livingfor himself and family and \u25a0 com-petence for his old age, an e.jual chance with the

Governor Hughes eaid he favored limitation efexpenses of all candidates, and the publication ofthose expenses fore the irlmarlea. The remainderof the ppec-ch was devoted to a discussion of theimportance cf agriculture, and the work which the
ctaTe ;s accomplishing by aiding the county fairsand by Institutions like the agricultural college atCornell and tJiat cf Alfred I:r..rFi:y; to a briefmention cf the aboltt of the former abuses con-
nected with political bank receiverships and to anexhortation in behalf of good government.
Governor Hughes was brought here in an auto-
oßohtta from Olean, whens he had spoken in themorning. He was taken from here to Hinsdale,
where he caught a train for Buffalo on the way
to Saranac Lake.
Ibi Governor began bis Fp<^rh erlta a tribute to
the lat« «x-Govemor Frank W. Higginn, vrbaaasMsM \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 la
' • • He referred to him as a mar-tyr to hip devotion to the p^opl*. r.f the state, and
the crowd cheered heartily.The Governor's ppeerh was ina. highly optiiniatia
