metal business as a whole. said Mr..
GuggenheIm. has suffered in this de
preston more severely than was to

sensitive barometer of business con
| ditions. Copper, in my judgment, has
taken the place formerly held by
steel and iron as an index of business
conditions. That metal felt the reac-
| tion last year months in advance of
steel and general mercantile enter
| prises. Indications now point TO a
turn upward in the tide. Enterprises
which halted incomplete last winter

there will be steady betterment
throughout the year. BY the time the
elections have been decided fresh cap.
