Shrewd traders say there is no equi-
iibrium between price and value in Anal
gamated Copper at the prevailing level of
quotations. II an s per cent dividend rate
is assured, the price must advance. II no
advance occurs. the fact VIII, It is con-
tended, afford sufficient proof that there
Is reason TO doubt the ability Of the com
pany to maintain the present rate Of dis
tributi0n and further decline in the price
of the stock must reflect the uncertainty.
such reasoning might, however. be ap-
piled with equal force TO the position ot
several other stocks. and the only fault
that can be found with it is that it disre-
CARDS the essential consideration of how
far the necessities of individuals has dis
turbed the natural balance betwesa prices
and value, When speculative interests
must sell on account of exhaustion Of
margins. there are apt 10 be bargains in

Sentiment abroad appeared 10 be more
cheerful than on any other day recently
ms was reflected by a sharp rise in Rio
Tinlo. the leading copper stock traded in
on the London market. and in many other
Issues, and, according to cables received
late in the day, there was a feeling OF
something like elation over the success Of
the London county council loan The for
eIgners took a fsir-sized line OF our stocks
ard for the first time recently quite a
little trading in Americans was done on
the curb IN the British capital after the
stock exchange had closed for the day.
Early in the day the traders had a ru-
NOR that the Amalgamated Copper direc-
tors would meet in the afternoon and de-
clare an increased rate of dividend on the
stock The regular date for action on the
dividend viii be Thursday. the day for
the consideration of the question, and in
official quarters it was said that no meet
ing would be held in advance of the reg
ular time That an increase would be
made in the rate was not believed in any
well-infOrmed quarter, although II was
thought not improbable that as the short
interest was large. a sharp rise might fol-
low the announcement OF the regular
rate. As an per cent stock, il could not
be considered otherwise than as cheap az
a price considerably below par. Regard
ing the metal situation. the opinion was
that, even should there be a decline OF
few cents a pound on the price of copper.
there would be no difficulty in maintain
ing the present dividend rate, which. un-
der prevailing conditions, is earned twice
over.

Despite the rains in portions Of the win
ter wheat belt the reports Of damage TO
the crop continued 10 circulate and 90 ex-
ercise a more or less depressing influence
on sentiment Authentic information on
the subject was eagerly sought; but as
what came was of a kind which described
conditions in sections only, and Left doubt
as TO the general situation, it failed 20 en-
tirely restore confidence. What the street
seemed to forget was that wheat has
hardly ever been irretrievably damaged at
this period of the year. and that as the
acreage IS large this year considerable
portion could be destroyed without involv-
ing d crop shortage. 1t has often hap
pened that az this stage Of its growth the
wheat plant has turned brown from wdnt
of moisture. whole fields presenting the
appearance of complete destruction. Yet
when rain came the outlook changed in
day or two and a vigorous crop was found
where it had before looked al if none was
left. OF course, If the worst comes IN
some sections, and wheat utterly fails 10

have emanated from good quarters to
the effect that the company would not be
obliged to undertake any new financing
this year.
In the absence OF any information as 10
the means by which some borrowing
could be avoided, in view OF the apparent
need of providing for maturity of obliga-
tions during the year, the mere denial of
a necessity to enter the money market
was regarded in many quarters as too
technical to be a matter of any real spec
ulativc significance. At first. the response
to the buliish efforts was inconsiderable.
