The Markets
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings In All
The Leading Stocks.

New York, June 3.-PriceS of stocks
broke again today with a violence al
| most uneXampled outside of times OF
| absolute panic. This was after a show
of resistance to the forces of depres-
sion during the early hours, when the
heaviest selling that appeared seemed
| to be easily absorbed and prices re-
| bounded repeatedly from the declines
Uncovered shorts We're made nervous
| by this action Of the market and helped
| on the tendency by their buying to
cover.
The kind Of explanations offered for
the recovery showed plainly how at
tentlon remained centered on the do
| mlnant topic of the governments policy
towards railroad rate increases There
was circulated, for instance. an ex-
preston Of confidence from an anony-
| nous legal authority that the injunc-
ton against the Western trunk line
| rate advances would be promptly dis
solved. There was no authority for it.
On the other hand, there was no lack
OF authority for expressions of the
gloomiest views by prominent railroad
oftlcialS of the disastrous consequences
they saw threatening from the holding
up OF the intended rate advances by the
railroads. President Brown of the New
York Central was quoted in publish
ed interview which was quoted and
commented upon in Wall Street as say
ing that the credit of the railroads
mad been almost totally destroyed by
inns action (The rate injunction) and it
VIII be almost impossible, in my opin-
ION Tor any railroad to secure loan
mere or abroad" President Brown was
quoted further as saying that $40, 900, :
200 OF New York Central bonds had
been sold in France at SSlh cents on
the dollar
Inc use made of the Brown inter-
view was very effective in spreading
the spirit Of anxiety. in precipitating
ilquldatlon and in breaking prices to
the lowest level of the year. Use was
mace also of fragmentary extracts
from President Taft's speech at Ada,
ONO especially the passage 1T is rea-
sonable to suppose that at some time
WITHIN the next decade there will be
some reaction or some financial
stringency or perhaps financial
panic" Also the passage Il think the
issue of most importance will he the
question OF the preservation Of private
property or its destruction and the
substitution Of a certain kind of co
operative joint enjoyment Of every
thing which is the ideal of Socialism. "
lhese words Of the Chief Executive
were reported on the news tickerS al
most without context and in sensation
al Susgestiveness of extra spacing be
tween the lines The mood of the
speculation became fairly hysterical at
tlmes and last prices were not far from
the lowest. Union Pacific, United
States Steel. Amalgamated Copper and

BRITISH TERRITORY
Is Worlds Greatest Market for Ameri.
can Manufacturers.

Washington, June 3-BritSh terri
tory is the worlds greatest market for
American manufactures In the face
of the fact that Great Britain is Flu
ropes greatest manufacturer and the
worlds greatest exporter Of manu-
features, nearly one half Of all the
exported manufactured products iof
the United States goes to British ter
ritory and forms more than a third
of all the exports to those lands. These
facts are disclosed in a summary COM
piled by the bureau Of statistics of the
department of commerce and labor.
British territory in Europe in 1909
took $4,000. coo of American manufac-
lures: British North America 81 900, =
900; British Asia, l3.0000O0, and even
British Africa took 100000 Boiling
the statistics down to results than,
Great Britain buys 40 per cent. of all
American manufactures sent to Flu
rope, Sc per cent. of all those exported
on the North American continent; |
per cent. Of those to South America
81 per cent. of those to Oceania and Sc
per cent. of all sent to Asia. British
territory is then q pretty good Gus
toner. All in all. it bought 275.0OO,G00
or Yankee goods in 1909.
And when all the manufactures are
accounted for, there are the unmanu-
featured products of the United States
to be considered. and British territory
taxes 4S per cent. Of those.

Walkers Copper Letter.

Walkers Copper Letter i'm Saturday
Boston Commercial viii say Copper is
quiet and unchanged. Lake is - to 1871
cents and electrolytic is l2a, to - cents
per pound Since the furry which fol
lowed the publication of the Producers
association statistics last month there
has been only moderate buying de-
mand. \ few consumers continue To pul-
chase from week to week sufficient cop
per to cover their actual current require
ments, and this represents the bulk Of
present business. The foreign demand
continues to show improvement. Exports
for May exceeded those of April by over
Il $4,000 pounds, and. notW'is hStanding
these heavier shipments. the foreign visi-
bic supply decreased 1,2No1 pounds dur
ing the month.
The Copper Producers May figures
which will appear next week, should
show a substantial decrease in the ac-
cumuated surplus. This. undouhtedly'
will encourage freer buying by cUnStlm-
ers. provided there are no further mfav-
orable business developments in the
meantime The announcement, however.
that the government will ask for inlunr-
tons TO restrain several western railroads
from putting into effect slight increases
in freight rates is Il source of extreme
disappointment to BUSINESS interests
everywhere 1t will tend to further delay
the return of financial confidence. ncCeS-
Sary to a restoration of normal contl-
tions in the bond market The inability
of the railroads to raise money for eN-
tensions ana improvements means NOR
to the general business situation than l.
commonly appreciated. While the atti-
tude of the administration continues an
tagoniStic to the leading business inter
@StS Of the country il is hardly to Ice "N-
peCted that there will be any conSidcra-
bile increase in the domestic consumption
of copper or Of any other standard com
modify.
The strongest single factor in the cop
per situation at the present moment is
the low price of the metal Because of
its chcapnesS ii is entering into compr-
ttion with many, other metals and ma
terialS and, despite cneral unSatiSfaC-
tory business conditions, its consumption
is increasing. The outlook at the present
moment is such as to encourage the he
lief that copper prices will not change
materially for two or three months
When the change does come, however, II
is practically sure to be in favor Of the
producing interests.
