In 1907 a small number OF Brush run
abouts were manufactured, but the entire
year may be said to have been one of de-
velopment and adaptation. Thus. through
the last two seasons the Brush Runabout
company has been working steadily toward
the perfection of the original ideal. The
1910 car represents the oonsummation of
the first plans of Brush and Briscoe.
In the manufacture of the car the policy
of high grade workmanship was estab-
lished. over $3.50, 900 worth of high grade
and efficient machine tools comprise the
Brush equipment in the machine shoI
alone. The highest grade of workman ha
been secured and the whole effort has beer
toward Standardization and efficiency. The
machined parts of the car are accurate tc
the thousandth Of an inch, thus eliminating
expense and inaccuracy in assembling and
insuring the best results when the car IS
put in use.

ment in this line all over the world. and it promises to become increas- ingly popular. The generation of power from waterfalls, and it's dis tribution electrically to railways lighting plants and facories is large ly responsible for the present steady growth of copper consumption.
 The substitution of electric for steam locomotives on railroad is proving so successful that all of the companies which have undertaken it are now extending, or planning to extend, this form of equipment. No railroad company that his tried cleo tricity has returned to steam power. Undoubtedly the popularity Of cleo tric traction will continue to grow. until within few years the work of electrifying all of the principal trunk lines between the large cities of the northeastern and central DOT tions of the United States will be undertaken. When this is done it will so increase the demand for cop per that, even should the produc- tion of al1 the new mines come up to the most sanguine expectations of their promters and stockholders they will be unable to supply the worlds requirements.
 In 1903, when copper was selling under 13 cents, I predicted that it would advance to 15 cents. The sit uation then was much as it is now. and I was charged with being over sanguine, and having the object in view of booming copper stocks. The price of copper did not stop adyanc- ing, however. until it reached 26 cents, notwithstanding that produc- ton increased meanwhile between 30 and 40 per cent. ] am just as confident now that the developments of the coming five or six years will again cause copper to advance to an abnormally high price, and that we shall witness as eager and en- thusiastic buying of copper stocks at high prices as we ever have in the past.
 Sentiment continues generally bear ish on the metal situation, and al- most everybody who is inclined to buy copper stocks is beina advised to wait for a still lower level of prices. Conservatism is popular just now but the propertime to be con- servative is when bullish specula- tion is rampant and when stocks are high I am satisfied that the coppers are in strong position technically. notwithstanding the pres | ent relatively unsatisfactory earn ings, due to the low price of the metal. The situation is already inn

TRACTION MEN

 REVIVAL SOON
One Item in Prosperity of the Country Which Means Big Demand for Copper and Copper Wire
(By Geo. L. Walker)

A matter worthy of note is the fact that the earnings of traction companies were more nearly main. tained throuhout the panic period than those of any group of steam
 railroads or manufacturing enter prises. This means that new issues of traction bonds and stocks will be among the first securities to find market when financial confidence begins to return and a considerable portion of such new money wall be used for the purchase of copper wire, brass car fittings, etc. It is now very evident that copper will be one of the first commodities 10 feel the effect of reviving business conditions.
 The president of a large copper producing company, who is in a pos ition to judge the situation accu- rately, says: "I do not believe there will be another month like August this year. The very heavy increase in production represented a cleaning up by the refineries of the July accumulation of cathodes, and there fore reflected more than the actual volume of new copper coming from the mines. The production will be much smaller during the remaining months of the year and consumption should be maintained resulting in

a steadily decreasing surplus, which will be shown by the Producers as- sociation and foreign visible supply figures"
 Further improvement in the sta tistical position of the mtal cannot fail to stimulate heavier buying by consuming interests, both here and abroad. Consumers are carrying no stocks of coper at present; but will fill their bins when they feel sure the time has come for an advance in prices. This will tend to clean cp ,he surplIs held by the selling agen- cies and few predicting companies, sn;. aIll si rely lead r. considerable advance in prices.
 I am satisfied that consumption is now exceeding production, and that this has been the condition for sev- eral months past. The curtailment of production by a number of lead ing producers was not absolutely essential to the stability of the in dustry. but it will greatly benefit pro
 
 from unsatisfactory statistical condi- tions. Within six months at the long est the metal situation should be all right again and prices should be showing advancing tendency even
 with all the mines producing to their full capacity. Nothing but general business calamity and panic can prevent the metal from advanc- ing gradually to this price.
 When stocks get in position where they refuse to decline on bad news it is usually safe to buy and sands of bear traders were over joyed last Monday evening when they reveived news of the democratic landslide in Maine. They confident ly expected a five or 10 point break in prices the next morning. After the opening Tuesday few of them
 sold more stocks, and the rest waited for the public to sell. The market was so badly oversold, how ever, that it refused to decline, and prices rallied.
 While this refers in general way to the railroad and industrial stocks, there being at present practically no trading activity in coppers, it re- fleets faithfully the whole speculat- i've situation. The coppers had their decline first, discounting the de- pression in the metal market early this year. Since then the prices of these stocks have remained about stationary, awaiting a possible break in the railroad and industrial shares. The metal situation has improved sufficiently to warrant considerable advance in the coppers; but traders have refrained from buying heavily speculative developments in other di- rections might cause the coppers to sell somewhat lower than they have so far. The action of stocks this week. following the Maine lection, has tended to. confirm the opinion

since the bar break which occurred in July.
 There are still a good many un- favorable factors hanging over the market and although they probably have been pretty well discounted al ready by the extreme decline in prices, it is quite probable that there may not be any considerable ad- vance, or any great increase in activ- ity, until these factors have been eliminated The November cleo tions, the settlement of the railroad freight-rate increase question, the final hearings before the supreme court and the ard the decisions Of that body ou the Tobacco and Sand ard Oil cases, are matters which have a vital bearing on security val ues.
 If the supreme court decides that the Standard Oil and Tobacco com panies are not punishable as trusts under the Sherman law, negotia- tions for the consolidation of the several large copper producing com panies of the world will be taken up promptly and carried through sue cessful issue. If this is done it cannot fail to encourage heavy spec ulation in copper ming stocks, which will bring about much higher range of prices.
 If the railroads of this country are permitted to increase freight rates as they have requested, it will have the effect of re-establishing investment confidence in railroad securities, will make market for bonds and permit a resumption of railroad construction and equipment. This will stimulate general business tremendously and greatly increase the domestic demand for copper, steel and other commodities. hasten ing the return of prosperity and in dustrial progress.
 On the whole, the coppers are not in as bad position as the rail roads and industrials. The return Of prosperity to the latter is depend ent upon more favorable political developments the granting of privii- ege to the railroad to advance freight 1, rates, a gradual reversal of the foreign trade situation and the res toration of financial and buisness con- , fidence in the country. The copper mines, however. are not depend. ent entirely upon improvement in the domestic business and financial conditions. as they find a market for a large portion of their product abroad. where trade conditions ap pear to be steadily growing better. i In this country and all over the world. manufacturing and transpor tation companies are endeavoring ir every way possible to work out new methods of economy.
