NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, June S.-The stock mar
ket displayed wonderful recuperative
power despite the weakness exhibited
In the London market. Prices started
the day a shade higher throughout the
list. In the railway group. Union Pa
cifc was the conspicuous leader. 1t

one-half due chiefly TO the report In
circulation that the president had come
out openly and confessed his error in
regard 10 the Sherman law. 1t is said
that the president is now Of the opin-
ion that the Union Southern Pacific al

boom. more in sympathy with the gen
eral strength in the market than any
thing else.
Copper advanced from sc to 81 or
short covering and a better demand
for the actual metal. This, however
may be only temporary. The fact re-
mains and it will become more en-
phatic in the near future that the
metal market is in an inflated condi-
ton. Copper is held at 25 cents pei
pound more through manipulation thar

The bank statement was about what
the trade expected. There was a large
loss noted in the deposit item due in
the main to the large gold exports dur
ing the last week.
The market upon the whole closed
strong with advances varying from one
to two points recorded throughout the
list.

The earnings of the Minneapolis, St.
Paul and Sault Ste. Marie railroad
company have made striking gains in
May over the corresponding month last
year, the gain in gross for the month
was 29.5 per cent and from July 1 last,
1913 per cent. This. Is all the more
notable from the fact that for two
months and half the company was
unable to move a wheel on account of
the heavy snow and generally bad
weather in it's territory.
