Panic in Europe Reacts 70 Beneat
Of American Buyers-Go
Stocks ct Low Figures.
coPPER SITUATION nrRovED

New York. Oct 1k-stocks closed
strong to-day 1t about the best figures
OF the day with material net gains for
the session. They gave . remarkable
demonstration Of the power Of the Ameri-
can market to absorb foreign selling
The panic in Europe, which was the re-
suit Of speculation. was the opportunity
for American investors to pick UP good
stocks at low figures. The foreigners
being unable to sell their own stocks
were compelled to sacrifice the gilt edged
American issues.
Canadian Pacific gave an account Of
itself with, an opening four points above
the closing Of the previous day. That
advance was maintained throughout the
session and improved In the last few
minutes Of trading. Steel crossed - in
the late tradipg In Wall Street and
closed with . net gain Of nearly two
points for the day. Union Pacific. Read
ing and the copper stocks also were con-
spicuous.
Copper IL Inrroved.
The copper situation abroad shows
great Improvement. Directors Of the
AmalEamated will meet tomorrow to in
crease the dividend to 6 per cent. The
promise Of per cent is not ofIiciaI but

rate will be declared. Utah copper was
better because Of tho success Of the COM
pany in getting more Of Its plant In
operation in spite Of the strikers.
Urgent buying Of steel was In evidence
not only for the account Of traders who
had sold 1t short but for the account of
insiders Of the company who are only
now beginning to realize how business
has improved. The trade authorities re-
port all mills crowded with orders ahead
for six months on the average. Several
price lists Of iron products were ad-
vanced to-day q dollar and moro q ton.
Amalgamated perhaps the best buying
issuing most doleful forecasts Of the fu-
ttre. and. at the same time they are
buying st. Paul as fast as II can be
gathered up without attracting too much
attention.
Reading has been accumulated by the
strongest interests in the street for the
last two months. Whether on the up
swing or on the down swing. the stock
has steadily disappeared and 1t Is i'm
possible to hnd any special reason be-
yond expectation Of some melon cutting.
Corn Product made . high record to-
day and Beet Sugar showed a downward
tendency. Lnseed was also strong be-
cause OF the big crop Of max that win
furnish cheaper raw material. The
weakness Of Beet Sugar attracted much
attention. 1t il due to the fact that last
years enormous earnings were the result
OF crop failure in sugar beets abroad.
