THE INVESTOR
OFFICE OF THE HERALD,
Los Angeles, June 22,181)7.
The news was received today of the ac
ceptance by E. H. Rollins and Son of Bos
ton of the Issuance of $270,000 four per cent
refunding bond* sold to them by the city
at a premium of $1432. The delay in the ac
ceptance of these bonds by the purchasers
has been the cause of not a little uneasi
ness at this end of the line, as it was
known that the legal advisers of the east
ern buyers. Messrs. Stbry & Thorndyke
and Judge Dillon, who are the admitted ex
perts on municipal bond issues and whose
Judgment is always accepted by purchasers
as final, were making an exhaustive ex
amination of sundry knotty points of law.
which had to be solved to their satisfaction
before they would 1 advise their clients to
complete this transaction.
The recent decision of the Supreme Court
of California in the matter of the San Luis
Obispo bonds, which decision affects all
Issues made or contemplated under the
act of 1893 was felt as a severe blow to the
prosperity of the State for the time being,
and although the refunders are issued
under the authority of another act, it was
feared' that another technicality might be
taken advantage of to cause the rejection
of the bonds placed under the recent sale.
The point which appeared to be a doubt
ful one was whether the Issue of refunding
bonds running for a longer time than the
term for which the Indebtedness was
originally authorized would not be In fact
the creation of an entirely new Indebted
ness. The new bonds are forty-year
aerials, payable In from one to forty years,
and, from one point of view, payment of
the original debt in full Is thus postponed
for sixty years from the date of Us original
creation. This point has happily been dis
posed of, but It Is understood that under
the advice of Judge Dillon the purchasers
will Insist that the redemption of the old
bonds must be made simultaneously with,
the payment for the new issue.
In other words they Intend, In order to
•aye any possible future complication, to
see themselves that the money Is applied
directly for the purposes for which It was
voted by the people. There will thus be no
chance given for making any of those
"transfers" or "loans" from one fund to
another; a kind' of financiering for which
former councils have shown much par
tiality.

The Calumet and Hecla Copper mine of
Michigan has long been nored for Its
princely dividends. The mine Is capital-
Herd at $2,600,000 In 100.000 shares-, qf the
par value of $25 each. Its dividends have
usually been at the rate of $5 per share,
or 20 per cent of the par value. The market
yalue of these $25 shares at the beginning
of this month was $375 per share, with
actual sales at that figure. The original in
vestors, if any remain, or those who bought
In at a slight advance on par value, are of
course, quite satisfied with their Invest
ment, for in addition to the large appre
ciation In value, there have been frequent
and liberal dividends paid. It is these
dividends that have made the stock so
valuable. For the past ten calendar years
the annual dividends have amounted to
$19,000,000. which added to $27,850,000 previ
ously paid makes a total dividend payment
of $46,850,000. The dividends of the past
decade are equal to 760 per cent of the
capital, of 76 per cent per annum. In other
words, the capital was returned In divi
dends 7' and 60-100 times over during the
past decade.

ON 'CHANGE
What Waa Done Yesterday on Wall
Street
NEW TORK, June 22.—The stock market
today again gave a demonstration of Its
astonishing capacity for sustaining In
crease of prices with only temporary pauses
and trivial reaction. The maturing plan of
the committee ot directors of the Chicago
and Northwestern for refunding the bonds
of the company so as to effect a saving
which may be applied to the stock has be
come the central object of Interest in the
market. The upward tendency of prices
which radiated from this stock ultimately
permeated the whole market, carrying even
the Industrial stocks, some of which had
sagged during the morning, to a higher
plane. Northwestern's extreme rise was
%. A striking feature of the market's
course was the comparatively small tran
sactions in which prices rose. South
western railroads were particularly strong
on account of the good outlook for business
in that section. Continued good crop re
ports sustained the markets, particularly
the grangers. The announcement of a $500,
--000 shipment of gold for Tuesday's steamer,
and tbe probability that more will go, did
not renew yesterday's rather fictitious
alarm on the subject. Trading In railroad
mortgages were In considerable volume,
and some striking gains were made in a
few Issues. The general tone of the market
was good and free purchases were noted
of the prominent International mortgages
for continental account. Tho aggregate
sales were $1,809,000. Governments were
more active, but without essential change
In values. The sales were $52,000.

CHICAGO MARKET
Yesterday's Transactions on the Board
of Trade
CHICAGO, June_ 22.—Wheat opened weak
and dull. There were no English cables and
those from the continent had nothing In
them to stir the blood of the traders. There
was short selling by traders, who have
ben apprehensive of the result of yester
day's ballotting on the proposed amend
ment to the rules, and, light as it was. it
served to depress prices for a time. The
weather in the south was rather wet for
the harvest and the possible effect on July
wheat of delay in the cutting of the new
crop began to impress speculators, who
were soon bidding boldly for next month's
delivery. July, which closed yesterday
at 67%@68, opened today at 67%5iH7%, and
In less than an hour It had advanced to
69%. It became known during the ad
vance that one house which has been long
for a considerable time, had transferred
a line of about 1,000.000 bushels of July to a
firm which Is known as an active cash
handler. This, at first, was looked upon
as substantially cash business, and scared
the shorts Into activity. It was after
wards given out that the transaction was
merely In the way of evening up and the
excitement died down as quickly as it had
risen, the price sinking to CS on the realiz
ing which set in. Chicago receipts were 6
cars, and 138,000 bushels were withdrawn
from store. Minneapolis and Duluth re
ceived 333 cars, against 820 the correspond
ing day of the year before. Exports from
the Atlantic seaboard were small, the
wheat and flour together amounting only
to 260,000 bushels. Bradstreet's did not re
ceive any figures on the change in Euro
pean and on passage stocks, so the world's
visible supply was not forthcoming, but
the domestic stocks eact of the Rockies
were given at a decrease of 2.816,000 bush
els. After the decline to 68 cents, shorts
covered and a rally to 68% cents occurred,
where it sold at the close. Corn was easy
at the opening with wheat and the show
ers, and the market ruled firm for a greater
part of the session. Oats were steady with
in %c. range. Provisions were strong,
helped at the opening by higher prices for
hogs and latterly by an all-round demand
with small offerings. A good advance was
shown for a time, but before the close
sales had caused the market to react.

weather has been fair and the temperature
high, the maximum ranging between 90 and
100 degrees. Cool nights with several light
showers of rains in the northern sections
and about the mountains were very favor
able for late grain and the bean crop,
which latter is giving promise of excel
lent results, but the tendency was other
wise for fruits. Grain harvest and hay
baling are progressing speedily in all di
rections. Reports continue favorable for
the deciduous fruits, except for prunes and
plums. Grapes give promise of a heavy
crop this season. Oranges are reported to
be dropping quite freely.

SACRAMENTO, June i!2.—James A. Bar
wlck, section director of the weather bu
reau, issued his crop and weather report
today. After detailing the weather con
ditions, he says:
The unusually cool, cloudy weather, with
an appreciable precipitation,. has wrought
some damage to hay and some fruits in
portions of Sonoma and Tehama counties,
but elsewhere In the state the precipita
tion was not great eliqugh to' seriously
damage crops; harvesting was retarded on
account of the dampening of the straw.
Barley has been turning out fairly well,
ranging from poor to good; wheat is some
what shrinking ill portions of the wheat
growing counties of the state. Apricots
are being dried, although the crop is not
fully ripe yet, except in more favored lo
calities. Hops are burring too early in
the Bear River yards of Yuba county to
make a full crop. Fruit, is being shipped
east in better shape and condition than
was the case a few weeks ago.
Highest temperature, 133 degrees at
Limo Kiln, Tulare county; lowest, 36 de
grees at Yreka, Siskiyou county, and
Bishops, Inyo county.
The Big Man Away
The absence of the editor from this
city for the next three months will ren
der it necessary to reduce the size of this
paper during that period to eight pages.
There will be no change in the com
mercial section, but the other sections
will be cut down, to about two pages.
This change is unavoidable under the
circumstances. The larger size will be
resumed on the editor's return.—Rio de
