this morning.
Preliminary arrangements have been
cOmplCtei that insure the holding OF
an international exposition at Brussels
In 1910. a company was organized for
this purpose early last year, and the

pounds OF copper a year The official
says: II do not look for any serious
decline in copper prices this year"
While there IS an absolute dearth OF
public interest in the stock market this
Is not because there Is no popular spec
ulatve sentiment. The cotton and grain
houses report a broad and active specu-
lative position with a wide interest
taken all over the country. Even houses
which do not especially lay themselves
