LOOKS As IF STOCKS
ARE TO HOLD STEADY

A good strong undertone has de-
veloped and the market looks much
more assuring. 1t seems probable
that prices will hold around present
figures until the return OF activity
at the end of. the vacation season
brings an nplift all along the line.
The big Ely issues, Cumberland Ely
ana Nevada Consolidated, should be
among the first of the coppers to re-
feet Improvement. They are entitled
TO make a considerable bound in
price when the turn does come. Buy
ers around present prices will count
substantial profit in those before end
of the year. The copper metal stu
alton is showing steady Improvement

Markets MINING, AND METALS

There was little to indicate any no.
table change in fundamental condi-
tions. The present firm undertone
of the markeu evidently is based on
the conviction that Improvement lies
ahead, and the poor showing OF pres
en1 conditions seems not to have
much effect In shaking this opinion.
While securities are withheld from
the market, 1t does not stimulate the
demand for new holdings, even with
the near approach of the semi-annu-
al disbursements of probably $780,
600, 900 in New York and with an I'M
wieldy surplus of banking reserves In
the New York banks which keeps in
terest rates at n level far below the
rate of return on well secured shares
and bond issues, there is no symp-
tom of the seasonable reinvestment
demand In the New York market.
There was another engagement OF
gold for Europe today. This source
of continued pressure for gold rep
resents the only doubtful factors in
the undertaking prospect of redund-
ancy in the worlds money markets.
London looks for a per cent Bank
of England rate during July, and
there is no apparent Interruption OF
the inflow of currency from the
oountry's active circulation into New
York bank reserves.
Railroad earnings reports show no
sign of promised Improvement in
business. net earnings for May be-
ing poorer than those for April. as
April was poorer than March. The
Atchison return made today improves
the May average thus far shown, the
gross decrease of s1.790,502 being
cut down in the net return to s529,-
LAT loss by the curtailment of OPP
Grating costs. This demonstration OF
the inefficacy of economy to overtake
the fall in earnings of the railroads
keeps attention conferred on the prob
lem OF wage readjustments.
The Washington estimates of $780,
600, 600 deficit in the government
revenues for the fiscal year ending
tomorrow point TO the necessity OF
early withdrawal of government de-
posits from the national banks. This
prospect receives small attention,
however. in view OF the bulk of the
bank reserves and the wide margin OF
unemployed funds held by the banks.
The crop news today was plentiful,
but was so balanced in its promise

Sir Henry Campbsll-Dann

The death of Sir Henry Campbell-ban-
herman will not in any degree anect
British politics. His resignation was ten
derAa in season, so that there was no
serious emergency involved in the change
Of premiers Mr.. Asquith has organized
his new ministry and is now comfortably
settled in the office. Indeed, the late premier
has been for several months virtually out
of the reckoning. SO seriously was his
health affected when he yielded to his
complaint and relaxed his ofncial activ-
tiles. He leaves no deep impress upon
the record He will. indeed. be rated
chiefly as the ministerial leader who pre-
sided over the great liberal-radical COM
bination in the hour Of its overwhelming
electoral triumph. That he failed to ac-
complish results with this cumbersome
parliamentary machine was due rather to
conditions than to lack of ordinary ability
Perhaps the man for just such a condition
existed, but he had not been developed.
To guide so large majority into the
paths Of performance would have called
for exceptional ability in statesmanship
and management. Sir Henry was gifted
with neither quality to an unusual degree.
He was a large, we'll meaning. earnest
man, with just enough humor to enable
him to handle a situation cleverly but
not masterfully. and without the least
spark of true genius. He spent the greater
part Of his life in politics, serving in par
lament continuously for forty years. He
was an excellent type Of the honest, in
dustrious British oflceholder and legis-
lator. He will be chiefly remembered as
the premier who had an exceptional OPP
portunity and failed to utilize it.

he saw In Gov. Johnson OF Minnesota a
leader whom the party should take up
Accordingly. he brought the Minnesotan

but was not Of the kind to encourage the
suggestion. Some democrats treated 1t
humorously. Others turned 1t down with
scant respect. In the east particularly
the impression seemed to prevail that 1t
was too late to talk about q dark horse;
that Mr.. Bryan had 50 much the start he
could not possibly be headed.
Since then a change has come over
everybodys dream. Where Mr.. Bryan
was then opposed he is now supported.
and where then supported by sullen ac-
Quiescenee he Is now opposed. Observe.

Commissioners have given evidence of
their purpose to insist upon the strietest

employees, and to require that they shall

the limiting Of the individual activities of
the public employee may now and then ap-
pear to work hardship. but it is infinitely
better that this should happen in a few
instances than that any loose concept of
the duty of municipal servant should
gain ground at the District building.
Washington desires ardently to continue
to be rated among American commune
ties as graftless city. and it regrets
that any suggestion Of improperly should

A Currency Commission.

Currency reform has baff1ed Congress.
and the proposition now is for a commits
sion to investigate and report.
Nobody interested in the subject was
unaware Of the difficulties Of the prob
lam. but until recently few realized how
varied are the views in business and
financial circles that attach to it. The
Aldrich bill has developed a situation
unsupported by the national lawmakers.
A measure drawn by a recognized au-
thority on financial and economic ques-
lions, approved by the Senate finance
committee, and passed by the Senate. Is
rejected by the House committee on bank
iAg and currency. and sharply criticised
hv q number Of the most prominent com.
mercial bodies in the country.
But this is not all. We are more at
sea than ever. Out of the criticisms of
the Aldrich bill half a dozen substitutes
might be constructed. but none would
command a majority vote in either house
OF Congress. or satisfy public sentiment.
The only thing accomplished has been to
expose a condition of affairs more COM
pick and confusing than Congress ordi-
narily is called upon to handle. And
something must be done.

best procedure. 1t has often added to
existing difficulties. The commission ap-
pointed to investigate and report on in
ternational bimetallism Is fresh in mind.
The whole thing was waste of time
though not of energy. for there was
no energy connected with it. A Euro
