Business was quiet and very
irregular. The weakness was prin-
cipally confined to the industrials
and railroads. There was consider
able buying on the extreme reactions,
but the stocks failed to respond. The
metal market was some stronger,
which helped the copper shares hold
irmer than they otherwise would
have. We believe this reaction will
only be temporary and hat coppers
will have a good strong advance this
fall. The copper share market has
not advanced in proportion to the in
dustrials and other share markets.

abr upt. Good farms in the Mohawk
valley in New York state forty years
ago were worth from 500 to $50
per acre: now many are sold at from
s25 to $50. This is not because
wheat has become cheap, for 1t is
dear, not entirely because of West
ern competition, but because there is
neither good cultivation nor enough
cultivation. The younger generation
throngs the cities; and the land

by year, while the city population,
which thrives only by drawing drafts
upon the land and cannot live a
year after these cease to be honored
rise at its expense. Yet not only is
such a crisis approaching but it is
being fastened by legislative stimu-
lation in favor of other industries
while overlooking this.
I'm 1890 only about ga e cent
of the American people lived in
towns. At the time of the Civil war
the percentage had risen to 16. In
1900 more than 81 per cen of our
population was urban. The change
is portentOus, and there Is no doubt
that the coming censes will show it
to have proceeded in the last ten
years with accelerated speed. In
spite of the warning of economists,
the amelioration of farm life, the
opening of new and attractive en-
ployment on the land through the
spread of irrigation and growth of
the fruit industry, the encouraging
ment of public men and the wider
dissemination of agricultural educa-
ton, the percentage of our popula-
ton who work on the farm constant
ly declines. If that proceeds too far,
1t is as If dryrot had eaten through
the timbers supporting some great
structure. We should consider now
the change accomplished and that
impending.
with our annual increase of
over 1.5 per cent from natural causes
and immigration that has not been
less than three-quarters of a million
any year since 1902, there will be
from two to two and a half million
more mouths to feed every year.
Having in view this increase in the
population, the declining average
yield per acre of cultivated land in
the United States after 1t has been
farmed for few years, the raise of
per capita consumption with higher
cost of living and the movement of
working population away from the
land, the time is now approaching
when we shall not only cease to be
a w~heat-selling nation, but will find
it necessary to import a portion of
what we consume.

THE MARKET
IS IMPROVING
FINANCIERS TURN THEIR AT
TENTION PROMPTLY TO FU-
TURE OF THE STOCK MARKET
THE FEELING Is HOPEFUL.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-The long
suspense in which the financial world
was held is ended and speculative at
tention turned promptly to the fu-
ture. 1t is this which explains the
fact that prices of securities mounted
buoyantly upward on the news of
the death of the man whose plans
and activities involved more wide
spread interest and material hopes
probably than any other Individual
of his generation.
The after effect of Mr.. Harriman's
death showed clearly that p~recipitate
bear operators made attempts at
short sales in the anticipation of a
state of disorder in the market. The
urgent demand from this element, of
course, accounted largely for the vio-
lence of the recovery. OF a class with
this buying was that by would-be
investors who have feared to buy
Hartman stocks at the greater adj
vances which have occurred in them,
but who were eager watchers for a
reaction.
This class of buyers made a clear
impression upon the whole stock list.
Their position seemed to be one of
Astounding confidence in the general
business. Buyers of a semi-invest-
ment class were largely in evidence.
The showing of the government
crop report last week seemed to ex-
cite no fear in the financial district
that there would be any danger of a
shortage in the required supply of
cereal crops.
The same hopeful spirit regarding
the financial outlook prevailed
against the evidence of heavy inroads
making on the cash reserves of the
banks during last week. The interior
demand upon the reserve centers set
in in large force. But the rates for
money remained unaffected. Weekly
reports of the great foreign banks
showed a position so strong as to
afford a ready resort in case of need,

manufactures for export are to a

How are We to meet the immense

vent financial storms of frequent

"A stationery or declining pro-

a revolt against the life of the farm
and a consequent rise in wages
amounting, since 1895, to 55.6 per
cent with board, compel such a rise
of all prices as bears ruinously upon
town and country alike. Our real
concern is not SO much to save the
home market from the inroads of
foreigners as to keep it from destruc-
ton by an enlarged city life and a
neglected country life, a crowded art
isan population clamouring for food
and a foreign demand for the pro-
duct of their wages limited to fields
where the competition of all the

IN THE COPPER
METAL MARKET
APPARENT WEAKNESS IN LAKE
DUE TO FORCED SALE OF
STOCKS HELD AT BUFFALO BY
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 13A.

The feature of the copper metal
market at the moment Is the appar-
ent weakness in spot Lake, the latest
reports from New York placing the
Offering price at 1915 cents or I'M
der. While this low quotation is no
doubt having a depressing effect on
the market generally and on the cop
per stocks, too, it really cannot be
considered a legitimate market.
The copper now being pressed for
sale is the block held in storage at
Buffalo, which must be moved at
once, according to the instructions
from the warehouse managers. This
copper is owned mostly by specula-
tors and middlemen, it having been
sold to them some time ago by the
producers.
With a full knowledge of the sit
uation consumers are holding off for
lower figures and the metal brokers
who have the copper to sell are hav-
ing a hard time disposing of 1t.
When this copper is disposed of,
however, it is generally believed that
prices will quickly advance as Lake
producers will not sell at the pres
ent level. The leading producers of
the district are now asking 1914
cents for future delivery but the
offerings are not heavy.
Preliminary forecasts of the posi-
ton of copper in this country, as
will be shown by the report of the
Copper Producers Association to be
made public Friday, indicate a pro-
duction for August of 119, 900, 600
pounds and a consumption, including
Lexports, of 124, 100000 pounds, leav-
ing a net decrease of stocks of this
side of 1000 600 pounds. This show
ing is better, however, than would
appear at first, owing to the cir
cumstance that estimated exports in
the month amount to but 52,000,000
pounds, a decrease of about 100000
900 from those of the month pre-
yious.
Copper stocks abroad are I'M
doubtedly very large, but there are
indications that these also are be.
