HIGHEST LEVEL
OF YEAR REACHED
Copper Showed Special Some
Special Strength Based on
the Domestic Demand

New York, April S.-Thc stock
market last week advanced to the
highest level OF the present year.
General. rather than special, causes
seemed to lie behind the movement.
Belief in Il coming expansion of bust
ness n industry grows and is en-
Outraged by the progress already
made. Immediate factors in that be-
lief are most potent in the metal
trades, especially copper. but bank
clearingS, railroad earnings and mer-
camille reports also indicate a for
ward movement. Confidence is but
tressed by the great strength of the
financial position of the its
freedom from imitation in any direc-
ton and the low stocks of merchan-
disc.
The special strength of the copper
market lent its influence to the spec
ulative advance. The rapid rise in
the price of copper grows out of the
awakened domestic demand added
The belated effects of restriction of
output also are seen. The result has
been the removal of one of the most
depressing factors against an add
vance. So buoyant a rise as has oc-
CURED in the market for copper be-
gets the inevitable misgivings, how
over, of speculative excess and a con-
sequent reaction To follow.
The copper movement has had a
steel market in The matter of harden
ing although at the expense of new
orders.
This circumstance combined with
the very heavy specifications in
March to take advantage of price ex-
.pirations with that month may reflect
u~nfavorably on the tonnage Of un-
filled orders to be reported this week.
More speculative influence, however,
was eXerted by the high per centage
OF capacity active in the Pittsburgh
mills and the pig iron furnace pro-
duction of April l. which was at a
rate above n yearly output in the
country's history. The sale of bonds
of the United States Steel subsidiaries
which was effected during the week,
was suspected of having a bearing on
the active condition of hat stock in
the market.
Speculative sentiment seemed to
view the labor situation with salts
faction. Resumption of Goa mining
in Great Britain radiated a cheering
erect through all markets and the
soft coal agreement bngot confidence
in an anthracite settlement. The act
ual susnension of coal mining pending
agreements however led to reduction
of shop and train forces and Of train
service. Floods in the central VAL
leys did substantial damage. inter-
ruptins traffic and threatened delay
and possible cutting down in the cot
ton planting.
OF little restraint to speculation
was n rise in call loans to 5 per cent,
the highest rate since the first week
OF last December. Such ample re-
sources are open to the money mar
k"t in New York's foreign credits that
the high rates at home are not dis
turning. Some important financing
is known to confront the local mar
ket. but the outlay to follow in bet
terments is a strengthening factor.
Failure Of government criminal pros
ecutions against trust officials cannot
be omitted as a market influence Of
the week.

ENTHUSIASM At
CAND0 MEETING
Boosters Have Abundance of
Enthusiasm Over the
Lake Region.

Cando, N. d., April S.-One of the
biggest meetings of the year was held
at Cando in the interests of the Lake
Region association. When the meet
ing opened the opera house was we'll
filled with farmers-men who had a
personal interest in the program.
The meeting was opened by E.. A.
.McFarlane of Bisbee. Mr.. McFar-
lane spoke on the advance in land
values at his old home in Illinois and
showed how values could be advanced
here. He said n of the great fail
ings of North Dakota land owners was
the awful sin of knocking.
w. c. Connolly of Devils Lake. sec
rotary of the association. outlined the
purpose of the organization II told
about the fine encouragement they
had received all over the district. He
spoke of the several exhibition cars
that were to be furnished free by the
Great Northern. Each car Is to be fit
ted up to represent a certain section
to push this particular section, they
can fit up a car and have it sent to
any locality desired. The aim is to
send these various cars out to different
localities in the east. Each car is to
represent a certain section in the lake
region and these cars are not to inter-
fere with each other in any way.
According to Mr.. Connolly, the rails
ing Of this land to 500 per acre will
be quite an easy matter. We nave the
