differences from their statements. then

stock market has bee the one section to which the observer could turn for relief during the depressing days at the beginning of the week. when de- eiines of from ? to points were by no means infrequent. After all the
 'hemm ng and hawink" that has been done, almost everyone is ready to be-

 | do not think any agreement to eurtail production has been made by the leading copper producers of the country. but 1 feel sure that some of the officials representing large pro ducers. and who are now abroad, have met and exchanged views with some Of the large foreign copper interests. and have discussed as business men the condition of the copper industry, from the standpoint of both production and consumption. I think each com pany is going to do what it believes 'o be for the best interests of its shareholders.
 Now that the Amalgamated and Guggenheim interests have come to their senses and are showing an ev. ident tendency to change their tao ties, which have been dictated. of course, by a spirit of rivalry the outlook is materially better than it
