PRICES REACT
AT DAYS END

NEW YORK, May Io.-There was a
falling off in speculative interest and
activity in the stock market today. With
out any pronounced reversl in the tone.
operators were less disposed to accept
the lead offered by the bidding up of
special stocks. Prices reacted more posi-
lively in the final dealings.
Improvement in copper was proved by
the April statistics of the Copper Pro-
ducers' association, but the copper industry
was rather heavier than the general list.
It was quite apparent that last weeks
speculation in the coppers had been in
anticipation of the effect of these Ag-
ures. It will be recalled that heavy
profit taking sales made themselves appar-
ent in the ooppers on Saturday. The
great growth in reasoning powers in
the general speculative public, which is
one of the features of the period, has
driven the better informed inside speou-
lators to advance g step beyond the old
process Of selling on good news to that
of selling in anticipation of good news
and or rumors Of good news. The official
statement of today shows a further in
crease Of surplus stocks, although the
amount is small, less than a million
pounds, and much the smallest increase
for any month for a long time past.
Efforts were made to correct the bad
effect of the shortening of the state
rnent compared with the prediction by re-
ports of very heavy sales made since the
Arst of the month and by explanations
of delay in deliveries which had been
expected to figure in the month by OBJ
structions to lake shipments. The heavy
tone of the copper persisted in spite Of
these explanations.
