Recovery of Business.
The recovery of the general business
situation during the last twelve months
affords convincing evidence that there
really never was anything fundamentally
wrong In the broad situation. In every
line of activity the country has either
quite recovered or nearly recovered the
full volume of three years ago. y big pile
of wreckage marks the spot, however,
where the disaster occurred.
Disguised high protectionists call at
tention of the free traders to the market
quotations on hides and pig iron abroad
and at home since the passage of the
tariff bill putting hides and iron ore on
the free list. They discover by reference
to the market pages of the newspapers
that there has been no reduction to con-
consumers in either commodity, prices
abroad and at home advancing enough
to make UP what was formerly paid in
duties. Hence they argue that import
taxes are really borne by the foreign ex-
porter, and that Congress has been legis-
lating for the benefit Of other countries
Instead of the people of the United States.
Copper is the latest industry to wheel
into line and get step with the forward
movement of returning prosperity. 1t is
true that many great copper mines have
been opened up within the last year or
two and can immensely swell production
should the occasion demand. This fact
Is more likely to keep prices of the raw
material down to reasonable limits than
1t Is to result in an era of overproduc-
ton. Some of the mines that cannot get
out copper under 10 cents a pound may
have to go out of business. but the sup
ply Of the red metal that can be turned
out at to cents, and even under that
figure, seems to be inexhaustible. 1t can
not fail to greatly stimulate consump-
ton. W. G. N.

NEW YORK, August livery keen
speculation in Union Pacific was again
q feature of the market today, but it
was not so dstinctively the feature OF
the market as was the case yesterday.
Today the transactions in steel common
were greater than in any other stock and
speculative interest seemed more broadly
distributed. The advance in Union Pa
cific. though decided, was not as abrupt
or sensational as that of yesterday, and
in the preferred stock the closing price
showed no material change from yester-
days.
As a whole market movements were
more orderly. with greater uniformity In
the action of the various stocks. The
market appeared more rational. Reports
regarding Union Pacific differed in no
particular from those of previous days
and were similarly lacking official con-
firmation. Obviously however, they had
not lost their influence on the imagina-
ton of spectators who are by no means
unaccustOmed to look for dramatic de-
velopments from the Union Pacific sys-
TENS.
The sharp advance in New York Central,
which closed two points above Pennsyi-
vania notwithstanding gain of point
by the latter, was associated with the
prevalent impression that Union Pacific
has increased it's stock holdings in New
York Central and that Mr.. Hartman
and his associates are to have in the
future greater influence in the manage

Impressive Trade Reports.

Otherwise the reports accompanying the
general rally in stocks concerned the ex-
tent of the business Improvement as in
Dictated by the weekly trade reviews and
other compilations from various trades.
Such of these as related to the steel and
iron industry were particularly impress
i've, for they indicated that the steel rail
business, which had relatively been back
ward up to this week, has again assumed
normal proportions A report, widely
circulated in reference to the shares of
the United States Steel Corporation pre-
dicted an early conclusion of the long
pending arrangements for the listing OF
certificates representing the common stock
on the Paris bourse.
The market was again very active, af-
fording no indication that the high
prices had brought any diminution OF
the broad public interest developed In
the course of the week.
Prices at the close were close to or
above the high level of the year, and
though very heavy realizing sales have
been made throughout the week the mar
ket seemed as strong as at the beginning.
Many Stocks on the Market.
The advance has no doubt brought on
the market very many stocks bought at
the low prices of 1907 and 1905, but all
such offerings have been taken without
the appearance of any weakness In any
one issue. II is probably true that many
of the investment stocks thus sold have
been sold for the purpose of creating a
marginal or speculative account for the
tendency thus to use profits taken from
the market has been noted in every pre-
vious bull market. and human nature has
not changed. The transformation of the
investor into the speculator has happened
frequently In the past, and undoubtedly
will In the future.
The situation as hx-
the bank statement, was quite as strong
az was expected. The actual surplus of
