Considerable interest is being taken
in the copper situation. and a general
upward movement took place in copper
stocks yesterday in Boston. Rumors are
current of closer relations between Cal

are under way between the Standard Oil
and the Heinz interests.

Large orders from Washington were
given out on this stock, and its an

A tip was posted this morning to buy
all available Copper on any little break,
and also TO hold Steels.
There was good deal of confusion
during the forenoon over the Erie fig
ures. One set of Commentators arrived
at the erroneous conclusion that only 2
per cent had been earned on the COM
mon stock. Another set was very pos
tive that the statement showed a lit
tie more than Az per cent In the mar
ket advices. which go out before the
opening. both results were given, and
the room crowd called upon its own
mathematicians for a decision. Some
OF them arrived also at the result of 2
per cent. and traders sold stock on the
assumption that Erie had earned no
more than that on it's common shares.
The figures really showed more than 4ia
per cent, as everybody had finally to
admit. The error arose from deducting
the old surplus from the new and ap-
plying the result. whereas the surplus
reported in the statement was all new,
resulting entirely from the operations
OF 1902-03. It was a statement covering
the operations of the last fiscal year
only, and not balance sheet.
! The failure of the Erie earnings 10
stimulate the least speculative interest
in Erie stock and Atchison's indifference

CURRENT NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF INTEREST TO INVESTORS

James NJ. Swank, of the American
Iron and Steel Association. reports an
increase of 1000, 900 tons in blast fur
mace capacity this year and 100000
tons next year. Where this increase is
to come from is shown in the report
covering blast furnace construction by
States. 1t is shown by the compilation
that New York State has six furnaces
in course of construction, New Jersey
has one. Pennsylvania ten, Virginia one,
Alabama six. Ohio five. Illinois one.
Michigan one, and Colorado one.
There is reason to think there is con-
siderable dissatisfaction among the
holders of Colorado Fuel preferred, and
IL is even said that some steps will be
taken to test the right of the holders of
the convertible bonds to draw interest
in front of them.
A report OF interest is that of the
American Locomotive Company. which
shows a gain in gross earnings OF &c.
70l,331 and an increase in net earnings
of S1,946, 233. After all payments, in
Guiding $1.750.OOO in preferred stock
dividends and s1,142.9 1872 spent in addi-
tious to the property, there is a sur
plus of s1,912 ,S21, against s224. 235 in the
fiscal year ended June 80. 1902. After
the preferred dividend the company &C
tually shows IL per cent on the common
stock.
prominent Western steel authority
says the Illinois Steel Company is sold
net to fits capacity for year ahead on
rails and has just closed the largest
contract for finished stuff that has been
! taken in several weeks. Stocks all over
the country, he says, are low because
buyers have been filling only their i'm
mediate wants, waiting for a break in
prices on which to stock up. In the
opinion of this authority. there is not
going to be a break, and when buyers
begin to realize that the general de-
mand will pick up briskly. The present
hang fire condition of the steel market
he attributes more TO a scare on the
part of buyers than to anything else.
The passing, he thinks, will be followed
by greater activity all around. The out
look for business next year, he declares.
