General commercial reports show that
confidence still holds sway in business
circles, tempered somewhat by the dam
age to the corn crop, although the opin-
ion is given that much of the loss in
corn will be offset by the gain in
wheat. Generally speaking, the harvest
is likely to be one Of the best in value

try, and that the purchasing power of

The expected in the copper market
was reached Friday, when clectrolytic
was elevated to 10 cents per pound. This
action followed closely upon the re-
lease Of the July statistics Of tho
American Copper Producers Associa-
tion. showing that the domestic stocks
during the month were increased by
6e0,339 pounds. On August lst, the to-

proxlmately 100000 pounds smaller
than the July deliveries for domestic
consumption and export combined.
Naturally, the improved metal mar
ket has stimulated the copper shares,
and there havo been advances during
tho week in great many issues, So
far, however. the investing public has
not been prominent in the stock mar

but not the means were not encouraged
by the banks to accumulate stocks re-

Stocks of both metals are scarce in
