The market has gained materially |
during the week, not so much i'm an
uplift i'm price values but is iirmer
foundation for present values, so that
there is every indication that the open
ing of the New Year will see higher pri-
ces, better general market condition
and perhaps some fireworks, all OF
which will be action based on the most
substantial foundation We have ever
seen to prolonged campaign of
real appreciation of values in the minds
of the public and in the markings OF
the exchange boards. In this respect
the copper share market is in a par
ticuarly favorable position. 1t was
announced early in the week that fur
tier details of the proposed merger oil
the copper producing interests would
not be forthcoming for several weeks,
that the interests back of this propo-
sition will await the decision of the
courts in other combination of capital
actions which have been attacked le-
gally so as To be in position To guard
against any possible errors of "A legai
nature in the formation of the new
corporation of copper mining interests.
This is wise in more ways than one.
II does not mean, however, that the
plans for a copper merger nave been
suspended or even held in allegiance
for i'm the meantime the large amount
of detail work which must necessarily
be arranged satisfactorily before any
thing important can be carried forward
in this big proposition will be tentative
ly agreed TO and the way paved for the
easy contamination of the plans when
the time is ripe and the occasion pro-
pitious. In the meantime the copper
shares are benefitting to a more appre-
ciable extent than we have observed In
three years past in the general I'M
pr vement in business conditions. The
metal is i'm a stronger position, pased
on actual business demand for copper
than il has been i'm three years. Inc
demand is steady and urgent and prl-
ces are fairly good. The tendency OF
the metal market is upward, gradual
az. The mines are shipping largely to
domestic consumers at the present time
Wand shipments are not delayed III
transit. The foreign demand is likely
TO make itself felt within another
month and the domestic demand is
continuing stronger than it has been at
any time since the break in the market
in 1907, Most of the big producers are
hwell sold ahead some as far ahead as
February and one big producing IN

with the work at the East Butte dur
ing the week, the shutdown is only
temporary and will have no permanent
i'll effects. A majority OF the mining
force is kept at work underground
opening up ground in advance. The
East Butte Is now earning substantial
ly for the shareholders and the under
ground developments OF recent date
have been most satisfactory since the
work was first undertaken by the pres
ent management. We are confident
that this East Butte, at present prices,
offers excellent speculative and in

DROUTn BROKEN
 BY GENERAL RAIN
Good Precipitation Comes Too Late to Help Crops Much Is Accompanied
 by Wind Storm

With a wind squall blowing at the rate of 36 miles an hour out of the northeast, although the storm proper came from the northwest, the drouth in Little Rock was broken Sat. night at 6:53 o'clock. The lightning was brilliant and of the zig-zag sort that sent thrill of terror through those who are constitu- tionaly afraid of electric storms, and one bolt in particular sent a chill over A. F. Alciatore, section director of the Weather Bureau, who had predicted the storm.
 It rained at intervals from S. J4 o'clock until about 9 o'clock and the rainfall recorded at the Weather Bureau was half an inch. It was the first rain of consequence since August 12, when there was a thunder storm which produced a rainfall of Log inches.
 The ' o'clock reports of the Weather Bureau indicated the storm was between Little Rock and Memphis mainly and proba- bly, more or less general in the eastern part of the state. Rains of varying intensity were report ed from Conway, Plummervllle, Hot Springs and Pine Bluff, The rain was light at Hot Springs. It did not rain at Gurdon. which is west of Hot Springs in Clark oun t y. It threatened, but did not rain at Ozark. The rain was not genera in Pulaski county up to 9 o'clock last night. It was reported from Wrightsville that the rain did not amount to much more than a sprinkle.

My honest conviction, based upon my own experience and that of my friends, is that Hunts Cure will cure a larger per cent. of skin troubles, especially of an itching variety, than any other remedy. Certainly those afflicted with any form of itch should try it." J. o. Monroe, Atchison, kas.

HEAT HAS BEEN ABNORMAL

While the last four days were not as hot as some of the days in August, when the mercury went to points above 100 degrees, the weather was abnormally warm for the time of the year, the mean temperature ranging from 5 to 10 degrees above normal for September. The growing sea- son begins in March, and since March the daily mean tempera- ture has been an average of O.6 degrees above the normal.
 Since March 1st the rainfall has amounted to 1872 inches, which is more than ' inches short of normal.

LITTLE HELP TO CROPS

Planters last night were un- able to make an estimate on how much benefit the rain will bring. Corn, it was stated, will proba ply not be benefited at all. It was not believed the old or early planted cotton will be benefited to any great extent. The young, or late planted cotton, may be helped materially. The mois- ture will probably add vitality to the maturing bolls. It was stated. however, that the rain has come 60 late that it's results are problematrical.

cording to an Australian paper Just to

the fact that the congregations are NOT

the best of health, has decided that if
his people are agreeable, the Sunday
