NEW YORK, July 18.-There was a re-
newal OF excited covering by near month

Uncertainty as to Labor Situation a
Factor in Street.
COPPER OUTLOOK WORRIES
Rumors of War and Of Agreement

Side by Side.

NEW YORK, July 16.-Dullness and
hesitation were dominant in the stock
market today. The small attendance OF
brokers was partly responsible. the hot
weather adding to the attraction Of out
of-town sojourns over the weekend The
uncertain tone of the market grew out
OF the labor situation on the Pennsyl

turbance I'm the cotton market.
The wheat market was not affected
by early reports of further damage to
spring wheat. and this factor lost part
Of it's influence in the stock market.
cooler weather and rains in parts of the
canadian wheat belt were reported.
Excitement From Speculation.
The excitement In the cotton market
ascribed to the speculative position
there rather than to fresh news bearing
on the crop. Opinions were mixed over
the outcome of the Pennsylvania con-
troversy with it's employees, but with a
hope of a settlement which would avoid
a strike. The formal announcement of
a reduction in wire prices by the United
States Steel subsidiary gave weight to
rumors of intended cuts in other steel
products. This had a depressing effect
on steel
There was renewed selling also of
Amalgamated Copper, in spite OF reports
Of some large sales of the metal effected
in New York yesterday. There We're re-
vived rumors also of negotiations look
ing to curtailment of production by
agreement among the principal miners
of copper.
The foreign exchange rate rose slightly
today and discounts steadied in London.
Money Market Less Stiff.
The tone of the time money market in
New York has commenced to relax from
its recent stiffness. under the influence of
the obvious ability of New York to Sc
cure gold in LonLon. The gold to ar

Bearish Reports Sent Abroad.

An amusing feature Of the crusade for
the restoration Of business confidence is
the attempt which is being made to show
that the decline in stock prices during
the last few months is due to the I'M
worthy efforts of New York. correspon-
dents of foreign newspapers to misrepre-
sent conditions in America and to
frighten away foreign investors. No
doubt the correspondents have been send
ing bearish stuff to their newspapers, but
1t is also no doubt the case that they
drew their inspiration from the columns
of the local press. For six months or
more the New York newspapers have
been publishing the most gloomy and de-
spondent kind of stuff in their financial
columns. Foreigners could not read
worse reports in their home papers than
appeared in the New York morning and
afternoon dailies and in the financial
periodicals.
Give the devil his due These New
York correspondents of foreign papers
are not q bad lot The trouble with
them Is that they do not take the trouble
to seek original sources of information,
preferring to use the shears and paste
pot and draw upon the published matter
that comes into their offices.

Richard Budelier, of this city, who
while attending Colorado college has
acted as "spotter' and amateur de-

The following is from the Colo

Robert j. Davis and Richard Bud

BOND ISSUE
FOR PROJECTS
Especial to The Sentinel. !


Washington, Feb. 22.-More than
100000 acres of land will be
brought into the reclaimed area with
in short time If the measure pro-
viding for the issue OF S3O,OOO,O 900
of 3 per cent certificates of indebted
ness, the same to be charged against
the reclamation fund, becomes a law.
The president is greatly interested
in having reclamation projects al
ready started completed. Otherwise,
the millions already Invested will be
an utter waste. Thus far more than
100000 acres of land has been re-
claimed, while the total expenditure
has been nearly $5O,OOO,OOO.
In explanation of this Discrepancy
between outlay and results, 1t may
be stated that most of the millions
thus far expended have been used on
work for the impounding of waters.
This work has exhausted the re-
sources at command and now immcd-
late means are demanded to utilize
the water thus impounded and pre-
vent the original investment from be-
ing worse than folly.
1t seems to be taken for granted
that in providing for the utilization
OF water already impOunded and the
completion Of the work begun-as-
suming the pending bill is to pass
congress will take precautions to pre-
vent the beginning of new projects at
this time. There is contention that
mistake has been made In starting
too many projects, due to the clamor
on the part of representatives from
various states to have their share.
The whole business will be thorough
ly threshed out, probably this week.
