Strength in Individual Minor Stocks

New York. March 7.-Deyelopments
in tbe stock market today were not i'm
portaTyt though the news from the met
al trades were watched with keen at
tentIon. Another advance in the price
of refined copper both in LONDON aI o
at the New York metal exchange was
regarded as conhrmatory OF reports OF
an improved demand. The extent OIL
that demand was subject OF dispute,
and the price movement was looked
upon with some expressed suspicion
of manipulation. The progress OF the
decline in copper, however, was bound
to reach the cost OF production in time
and the attention given to assertions
that ..hs margin remaining between
current prices and that level was APP
nroaching extinction illustrates the ex-
recitation of how the turning point Will
be reached at last. Reports from the
steel trade also Indicated that the cut
in prices had brought out some orders,
but the amount was declared TO be
small. The effect on sentiment was
offset by the announcement or the
hosting Of wage reductions In the
LacIcawanna steel works at Buffalo,
the news having a somewhat ominous
| influence. The wage question received
| additional consideration BY reason o.
the statement published in behalf OF
the anthracite operators. The refuta-
| ton OuefGQ OF bIS DidAiflS AOA III rAoSC"
NV the miners was evidently an an
| nouncement e a refusal TO comply
with them. The motives for the early
| selling Of stocks were found in these
| developments. The selling showed
/ signs oG raiding tactics by the bears
| and the prompt recovery confirmed this
view. The special weakness of Erie
was due to the application to the pub
ho service commission for modification
of the terms permitted for the proposet

| Southern Pacific net earnings state
ment for January were utilized to pusi
! the rally. but the movement was total
