ANOTHER VIEW OF THE
MARKET

The recent decline in The copper
market brought about many transactions
OF All unusual character, says the Engi-
neering * Mining Journal. The position
of many American producers, having
large stocks of unsold metal on hand,
which the financial situation at New
York made it difficult to carry, led to
the transfer Of considerable quantities of
the metal to Europe for financial pur-
poses. A considerable portion OF the ex-
portation in October was of this charac-
ter. OF course, this constitutes no alb
sorptioii of the stocks of accumulated
metal, but simply a removal of them
from one place to another.
Another set of transactions was of
similar character. The price at which
producers were willing to sell electroly-
tically refined copper declined to close
terms with the speculative price for
standard on the London metal ex-
change, and even went lower than the
latter AS is we'll known, tile regua-
ton contract for standard permits the
delivery of electrolytic copper against
sales OF standard. at a premium of one
pound sterling over the Price of stand
ard. - American producers took advan-
tage of this situation by selling stand
ard IN the London market AMI ship
ping abroad electrolytic copper to make
deliveries, these sales having been ma lie
largely under the three months option
This again constitutes no absorption OF
the metal for consumption, but simply a
transferal from one set of hands to an
other.
However this has had a speculative
effect upon the matter, because traders
who had undertaken to carry rather large
quantities of electrolytic were disposed
to assist in an upward movement, while
the bears who had been operating for a
further decline, seeing tendency of the
market to go against them, became ready
to bid for further supplies of electrolytic
copper to cover their short contract.
The advance i'll the market during the
last week is explained partly i'll the
above way but also there has been a
greatly increased demand for consunp-
ton, especially i'll Europe 1t is hoped
that the domestic manufacturers observ
ing that the market has resiliency under
speculative and other influences, will
now make up their minds that it is time
for them to manifest themselves. In
deed, they have already done SO to some

BELIEVE THERE IS NO
GOOD REASON FOR
SHRINkACE

The bears are attacking the market
with persistence and a recklessness
that surpass all exhibitions of the kind
Wall street has witnessed in years. At
the low prices which they have estab-
lished. there has been a decided revival
in the buying by small investors. The
short interest i'll the market is enor
nous, and bankers say that the floating
supply in some stocks has become so
short that OH the inevitable day of reck
oning there will be one Of the most SEN
sational stampedes to cover in the his
tory of the street. The large banking
interests claim that there is no good
reason for any further shrinkage in tile
prices of securities: that the corps are
satisfactory and will bring very much
higher prices than usual, and that as
the agriculture yield is the true founda-
tioir of our prosperity, the result of the
harvest must i'll time have a beneficial
effect They also say that the effect of
the contraction III business will soon be-
gin to be felt i'll the money market, and
that after the first of the year which is
only ten weeks away there will be an
accumulation of money fn New York
which will result in lower rates and ali
incre ised demand Tor Investment
securities.
As the Improvement in the money
market is now finally i'll sight, it is only
a.question OF a few mouths be.ore sub
stantial recovery mustsc0me.
Many of tho leading tinauciers believe
that the declines lave gone altogether
too far and that tile pablo realization OF
it is likely to come any day. Such prices
as now prevail might be justified by a
great disaster i'll the crops or a sgeneral
business panic, neither of which we
haveserer had As soon as the demand
for noneypis Iessened it will return to
the Banks and the result will be re-
newed Enquiry or investment securities.
Many rich men believe that there is no
Foundation for the pessimism which now
prevails III Wall street and many OF them
would avail themselves of the present
opportunity to buy securities were it not
for the fact that their money is already
tied up in various undertakings. 1t is
apparently the small investor only who
has the cash to buy the bargains now
beingtoHered, and the transfer books
show hat absorption of this character is
constantly going on.-N. Y. World.

extent, but the rapidity of the advance
has been too pyrotechnical IN character
to stimulate great confidence in the sta
bility of the market at the new level !,
and although they may recognize that
the price of copper has been verv cheap
indeed it is thought to be dangerous to
make large purchases until justified by
an Increased demand tor ultimate con-

market is still under the shadow of the

'TheLAUTER-HUMANA

Playerpiano
Our warsroOms are Open Evenings

That large part of the community
that is intensely fond of music but is
unable to play one note for itself, has
In the LAUTER-HUMANA a piano
that has but to be seen to be pro-
nounced the ideal instrument. It's but
necessary to see this instrument in our
warerooms to realize it's amazing eff
cheney and remarkably artistic power
in rendition.
In the LAUTER-HUMANA we
have perfected a system of control by
which the incest phrasing and the
greatest individuality in rendition are
made possible. One can play any
composition of the most difficult char
acter, and impart to it individual ac-
centuation as may be desired.
In Rubinsteins Melody in F, for
example, the rendition in practically
all self-playing pianos is, at best, un-
satisfactory. With the LAUTER-
F1UMANA the artistic beauty of the
composition is not lost, for it is posi-
bic to express a musical idea intetfgentLy,
just as it is possible in playing by
hand.
Is it to be wondered at that the
LAUTER-HUMANA has created
great wave of enthusiasm among people
of musical discernment? Are you
surprised when we tell you that this
superb playerpiano is being purchased
in preference to all other makes, not
only here where it is manufactured,
but all over the United States?

A VERY BRILLIANT HUNT.

Many Follow the Hounds from the

where the take Off was made. The
hunt was from there across the fields
to Mendham, where the party dis.
persed. ChaS. Pfizer was master of
hounds. His pack from the kennels
at Gladstone was used. A great many
