The coats in box style are the most
popular this year with mothers and lit
tie folks. and one which has attractive
cape-collars is shown. An inverted box
plat in back supplies a becoming fullness
below the yoke, while the front is plain
and closes in double breasted fashion. The
capes are very fetching and add extra
warmth and breadth of shoulder These
may be sewed TO the coat beneath the
collar or attached by means of hooks
and loops. The coat may be made of
serge, cheviot, camers hair, broadcloth. OF
velvet. The medium size calls for 81
yards of 49-inch goods.

SHARES DECLINE
 FAR TOO MUCH
Have Discounted Bigger Drop in Metal Than Will
 Happen,

Boston-There has been a decline in the quotations of copper shares from the high point of the year which cannot be justified by any loss in the earning power of the producing prop critics. To be sure. there has been a nominal reduction of three cents per pound from the 26-cent level, but it should be remembered that the amount of copper sold at the extreme high prices was very small, as during the short period of Recent copper de- liveries were being made in many in- stances of metal sold all the way from 19 to 23 cents per pound.
 Uncertainty with respect to future copper conditions, coupled with un- favorable monetary conditions, has contributed to the drop in copper share valuations. Calumet & Hecla has declined over s200 per share, North Butte is off 42 points, Tama. rack 70, Utah Consolidated 36.

MUST SELL COPPER
 TO SELL SHARES
No Advance Can Be Looked for Till Metal Has a
 Market.
IRy Frank J. Gratl

Todays market brings us back to March the 18th. There has been a great deal of selling the last few days and it might continue for the re- mainder of the week. Unless there is more demand for copper, stock cannot very well advance. The Rio Tinto people of Spain have over two months of copper on hand at the present time. The local market has been at a standstill the greater part of the day. Denn Arizona sold $11.75 at the close. Globe was offered at $500, Black Mountain at $500. Most coppers reached the low mark of thas of March and some even went lower. Old Dominion went to S3S.00 during the slump and today touched $37.50. It would be well to make small com parison of some of the stock of the high 1907 and today's prices.
