n fair movement OF drygoods, groceries

country districts display an improved

quiet and fall orders for footwear and

the volume Of trade is Of seasonable pro-
portions and fall orders In a number OF
lines are coming in quite freely. Local
manufacturers are well employed. and the
outlook is considered promising. Toronto
reports n slight improvement In general
trade, the better feeling being due to
more favorable crop prospects. Travellers
are doing a fair business in fall drygoods
and there is an average movement OF gro
ceries, hardware, lumber and building ma

THE COPPER OUTLOOK
Foreign Depression and Tari1
Revision Having an Effect.

The National Conduit and Gable Com
many in its regular monthly issue of
Copper Gossip" says of the copper sit
uation:
Recent developments in the market for
copper reveal unfavorable tendencies to
price stability. and in consequence Of the
uncertainty surrounding the situation
new business lately is on a comparatively
suall scale The present depression uh-
der which financial markets are laoorlng
and the unsettlement which new tarlH
regulations are inevitably bound to create
are beginning to tell upon the outlook FOR
copper
Operations at leading manufacturing
centres so far this year gave evidences OF
heavy trade requirements. The especially
good feature of the copper situation was
the large and satisfactory consumption OF
the metal. but the question at present IS.
VIII the gratifying condition be main
tained during the last half of the year, or
IS prospective activity TO be at lessening
pace? II might possibly be premature to
give a categorical answer to that question
now. but, judging from certain well de-
fined indications. il must be conceded

at a full capacity during period of gem
eral business readjustment following on
the heels of new tariff laws.
Another fact to be considered is that
the market for copper apparently reached
its highest point few weeks ago, FOR
the present. at least. and to insure con-
tinuous, steady business prices must come
down TO a lower level. Just now caution
is the watchword for the immediate
future, and with general lack of conf
dence displayed by buyers manufacturers
are inclined TO prosecute business on
very conservative basis At present writ

MONEY.

During last week there was little
change in the trend Of the local money
market and funds were In ample supply
for all temporary requirements. Call
money ranged around per cent. but only
moderate activity was reported. An i'm
provement was shown in the commercial
paper market so far as the tendency 10
deal in the best class was concerned, and
business assumed more interesting tone
for short maturities. Rates around 6 per
cent were maintained and a broadening
Of the buying was reported among a few
institutions. The time money market ex-
hibited a relaxing tendency, but offerings
were confined 10 short maturities. and the
demand did not develop any considerable
volume Of business. Rates at the end
Of the week ranged from 3% per cent 10 4
per cent for sixty days. and some ninety
day offerings were made at per cent
and AZ per cent The statement Of the
New York banks on Saturday was
gratifying one as showing an absence Of
drain Of funds from the banks into the
local Sub-Treasury, while the New York
institutions were receiving large returns
Of currency from the interior. II is evil
dent from the liberal flow Of money East
ward that business demands for funds
are decreasing. Since the first Of the
year the local banks have gained s222.-

with S1SO.SO2 900 for the same period in
1912 and $122.103, 900 in 1911. Bank

CUBA'S SUGAR PRODUCTION
Excess in Output Over Last Year
Over 100000 Tons.

Up TO June l. 1913, according 70 unof-
fetal figures issued weekly, the total pro-
duction Of sugar during the present cam
paign in cuba had amounted 70 2.O56.Si5
long tons, In comparison with 1866, 1Ss
tons at similar date in the campaign
OF 1912. The number of mills grinding
on June !. 1913. was 64. slight decrease
from the number at q similar date in the
preceding year.
The weather Of the present time being
normal, II would be certain that the ma
jority of the mills sull running would
grind through the month of June were
other conditions such as 10 warrant Op-
Grafton. But on account OF the exceed
ingly low price and the tremendous stock
of sugar which has accumulated at the
shipping ports OK the island, 1t IS doubt
ful whether on July / many Of these mills
will be continuing work II is thought
probable, however, that the total produc-
tion FOR the year of 1913 will reach 10000
tons.
The stock Of sugar at mills and Cuban
ports on June l was estimated al 6S2, 2S9
tons, and while this 10 some extent rep
resents the natural accumulation, II is
principally due to the price, which at
present does not permit a profit 70 the
large majority Of the producers. Under
old conditions such an accumulation Of
sugar would seriously test the financial
resources OF the sugar industry. but with
the ampuhcation OF banking facilities in
Cuba and with the loyal determination
20 sustain those worthy Of credit, there
has been no public demonstration Of any
financial stringency. In this respect the
present conditions illustrate better than
through any other way the change which
has occurred in private Cuban financial
affairs within the last three years This
is for the distinct benefit Of the people,
OF the sugar industry and Of the country
as a whole.
There Is confident expectation that the
price of Cuban sugars Will in the very
near future show substantial increase,
and therefore every one who can afford
to do so is holding, despite the inevitable
loss In polarization Of the product and Of
weight.
