production was still about S,00O,0 900

TRYING WEEK
IN THE MARKET
IS JUST CLOSED
Most Notable Stock of the
Week On the Curb Was
Greene cananea-The En-
tire Market in Good Shape.
CBy Frank J. Graft

The week just closed has been a
most trying one, and an uncertain
one regarding the uncertainty of the
outcome of the political situation upon
which depends a great deal for the
future of the New York and Boston
copper markets. The first part of
the week there were various reasons
for the dullness Of the stock market
as compared VITA the recent activity
that had been displayed, and traders
were holding back awaiting the final
outcome of the Chicago convention
The close of the week would lead one
20 believe that the entire election or
rather nomination had been already
discounted for IL was almost known
fact that the Taft-Roosevelt faction
would be nominated. The fore part
of the week discounting the nomina-
ton soon caused confidence in the
market, and stocks were well bought
and protected, and better prices pre-
vailed. At the close, however, the
bear element took the market in hand
which soon caused stocks to get to
t',o'- I~vel before the opening Of the
present week..
lae New York markets showed a
considerable falling on Of prices, as
well as the copper securities. The
most notable of the copper curb
stocks, was Greene Cananea, which
made a good advance during the fore
part of the week, when there were
many sales made as higS as IL 1-3,
but apparently the price was toe
tempting and brought great deal
more stock than the market could
handle at times, causing a decline nt
one point from the high point Of the
week. The unofficial report of the
Copper Queen buying up tae .Shattuc
Arizona for s3,500,0e0 was without
foundation and most unreasonable. In
the first place the Shattuck Ariz7ra
people would never consent to surh
figure. as the property is worth
much more. II had been reported
that the Copper Queen did offer the
SGattuck company 100000, which
would be more reasonable. The mar
ket for the stock is still strong at If,
with none being offered even at bio
prices. The entire copper market a.
in very good condition, in spite OF the
Door demand for the METAL
Bisbee daily review., 1908-06-21

For the first five months OF this
year the production of copper is near
" so O00,O 900 pounds behind last year.
There is now practically no restric-
ton of copper output in Arizona and
the properties there are prepared to
add several million pounds of copper
per month to the counry's output
when conditions improve.
In California the Mammoth company
smelter is turning out a materially
increased output and the Bully Hill
company is now a factor and is send
