There is nothing in the general situa-

speculative optimist says, on which any
but the in-and-out trader, dealing in
fluctuations rather than in values,
would want to sell stocks.
Certain interest in Wall Street are
engaged in operations in Union Pacific
which involve lower prices for the con-
vertible bonds, arbitra ging and sales
of the stock. There is no good reason
why the bonds should go to a lower
level: there is no good reason for hold
ers of the stoch TO part with their Sc
curftieS, and there is no reason for the
belief that Union Pacific stock viii not
good reasons for the prediction that
the people who are trying to ulauipu-
late the stock and the convertible bonds

Union Pacific stock ought to be one of

A large copper producer says that
China is in the market for an additional
2. G1-N5 pounds of copper, q large per-
centage of that amount having already
been contracted for. Japan is also in

heavy demand from Japan is due to the
closing of the mines incident to the
