COPPER OUTLOOK IS
ON THE WHOLE AN
ENCOURAGING ONE

There has been much discussion
recently of the failure of the copper
metal market to score any material
rebound from its perpendicular de-
cline from about 25 to 10 cents
pound, although recuperation has
been visible in many other lines.
John Stanton, one of the leading ex
perts on copper metal, had the fo,-
lowing interesting comments to make
on. the situation to a representative
of the Boston Financial News:
The copper market at present Is
purely nominal Consumers are buy
ing from day to day only in sufficient
quantities to fill their immediate re-
ouirements There Is certain
steadiness in tone to the market, IL
is true. and the volume of metal Of
fered Is not large. There are still
some small speculative lots left 20
be absorbed around the present level.
The export movement continues II
large proportions. though whether
this is of a speculative nature or not
IL is impossible to determine. The
best people in the export business,
such as Phelps, Dodge & Co, the
N
have Joined in the movement. This
has been the mainstay of our MAJ
ket for considerable period and has
prevented more serious recessions
The output of the recently opened
mines has not as yet affected the
market. and will probably not he felt
for some time to come. believe
that the production will be less gen.
orally expected, as the mines are
running only to partial capacity. Con-
sumers are holding off in their pun
chases largel yto see In what volume
this new copper will come on the
market, and a better demand Is to
be expected when this is ascertained.
Should this not develop 1t will neces-
state further closing down of the
mines. as producers cannot afford to
sell copper much lower than the
present price, the cost of laying dow1
the product on the market being in
most instances around II cents.
The hopeful point of the situation
lies in the ability of the railroads
to raise funds, as eXemplified re-
Gently by the successful floating b.
them of new capital obligations. This
will probably mean resumption OF
the electrification of many railroads.
A full resumption of this work would
give the market decided stimulus.
In manufactured products. such as
chandeliers, scroll work, etc, where
activity is at the lowest ebb. better
demand will have to follow improv-
ing general business conditions.

WITH THE DISTRICT

the Goldield Mine Operators
association, is "A big jawed fell
low with determination stick
ing out most all over him. His
record in the fight with the
misrepresentation of labor at
Goldfield last winter tells the
story of that jaw. Erb WAS
there all the time and has the
goods to deliver right along.
He has money, has Travelled
and expects to do "A lot more
along the same line. Among
other things he is a friend OF
President Roosevelt and on on
occasion of the trouble at Gold
field directed some personal
letters to the president.
Mr.. Erb spent Yesterday at
the properties of Nevada Con
solidated and Cumberland Ely.
Last night he had to say OF
these that they looked the enor-
nous propositions that they
are. He believes with other,
who have been over the groun :
that Cumberland Ely and Ne
vada Consolidated represent
two of the biggest things tha.
there are in the world today il,
the way of money makers.
Regarding conditions y
Goldfield, Mr.. Erb said last
night that they were in excel
lent shape. 1--WE have the
ideal open camp in the coun
try at this time" he conclud
ed. There are upwards ~
300 non-union men employed
now. Among the union men
there has been general deser.

rates were to be advanced has been
notable influence on the recent
strength of stocks.
Reports are now emanating from
the conferences on the subject of UNI
expected difficulties being met with
in putting the project into force. Not
the, least of these is the organized
protest from shippers against rails
ing charges for transportation at a
time when business depression calls
for low prices to stimulate demand.
Money conditions were little
changed. Some attention is given to
the coming treasury Withdrawals,
which call for surrender of some
$40, 100000 by the banks by Satur-
day of this week. fully one-quarter
of which has already been turned
over TO the government. Little effect
is looked for from this or from the
additional surrender of $25 100000
called for later in the month, owing
to the high level of New York bank
reserves and the steady payments by
the United States treasury, because
of the deficit in the revenue income.

NEW YORK, May S.-The adj
vancing tendency OF prices was part
ly checked today, or broken in upon
by reactions of prominent stocks.
Others continued to rise. but without
the dominating speculative sentiment
caused by the movement of the Har-
riman stocks II Is said to mean that
waiting orders to sell at fresh stages
of an advance present an obstacle
hard To overcome. The reactionary
tendency of prices was not laid TO
any important new development. but
rather to technical conditions, es-
pecially the attraction of profits ac-
crued and the inducement thus of
fered to sell and the reduction of the
short interest forced to cover in the
course of the rise. thus lessening the
necessity of buying stocks.
Beyond these considerations there
was some disappointment that no ac-
tion was taken by the Union Pacific
authorities toward the sale of the in
tended bond issue. The failure To
obtain quorum of the directors for
the meeting which Wall street ex-
pected would act on the bond issue
was stated To be due to the necessity
for the presence of the president of
the company at another important
meeting. The assumption that this
other important meeting had to do
with the efforts making among rail-
road officials to bring about an adj
vance In freight rates directed atten-
tion to that topic. which is an import
ant one I'm view of the speculative

the report of the Union Pacific di-
rectors' meeting, which is to be made
public today, will have good effect
on stocks.
