curious feature OF last weeks dis
turbances in the foreign markets was the
absence of liquidation by the foreigners
In this market. This absence of selling
gave the weakness abroad "A somewhat
unreal appearance as far az the local
market was concerned. Ever since Octo-
Der. 1912. the outbreak OF the Balkan war,
the development OF weakness on the for
eign exchanges has been directly re-
fIected In sales of American securities on
this side. There was n perfectly under
stood reason for this In the fact that at
all times there was n comparatively good
market for American stocks and bonds,
while many home securities were practi-
cally unstable Foreign spectators
forced TO ease their position naturally
turned to their holdings of American Sc
curitles first because they could sell them
with the least sacrifice. II Is possible
that this process has quite effectively
cleaned out the floating supply OF Ameri-
can stocks held speculatively abroad and
that nothing but disaster OF major
sort will cause the foreign investor to
let go of any considerable portion of what
he has left

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


As the day wore on the absence OF any
sign from Washington that the persist
emily predicted rate decision was coming
made II appear more probable that the
swift advance in stock prices was due to
an exceedingly clever speculative move
against the short interest. Whether or
not this Is the truth OF the matter the
situation was singularly ripe for sue
cessful operation OF the sort. on the
previous decline In the stock market
the outstanding feature was the failure
of stock to come out at the lower quota
lions. This and the growing impression
that the rate decision might come over
the week end had left the short interest
In a distinctly vulnerable position. 1t is
understandable, therefore. that a sharp
drive against this position might have
produced just the results attained. The
story of the coming rate decision pub
lshed on the news slips on Friday made
no particular impression. But this story
sent over to Washington. toned up and
telegraphed back TO the street yesterday
morning. might have been much more
convincing Such things have happened
before. II the rise was the work of a
single operator or set OF operators II was
conducted In mastery fashion.

. THE COPPER MARKET.

The past week In the copper metal mar
ket was dscouraglng for the producing
end OF the trade. The volume of bust
ness booked was hardly worthy OF men,
ton and the price sagged below lac. on
sales effected by second hands. While the
large sellers quoted copper nominally at
i4lsc.. II was understood that they would
be willing to do bushes at IA cents on
an order OF considerable size. Dealers
succeeded in disposing OF some metal at
lac. toward the close of the week.
Latest mail advices from Henry r.
Merton & Co. OF London follow:
THE continued absence OF speculative
interest In the metal has brought the
market for standard copper to q state Of
almost complete stasnation. the trans
actions on the Metal Exchange during the
past week being among the smallest re-
corded In recent years. Yet there has
again been every evidence Of underlying
strength in the firmness by which prices
were maintained throughout. This per-
sistent steadiness OF the copper market
In the face of exceptional apathy has on
former occasions proved to be an indica-
ton that the situation is ripening toward
an improvement. Given IA satisfactory
solution OF the various problems which
are stlll confronting the business world
both here and on the other side OF the
Atlantic, II Is quite possible that history
may repeat Itself and an upward move
ment may be experienced within a meas
urable period. for basic conditions have
become sounder OF late. with easier rates
for money and brighter prospects for a
plentiful harvest. Seldom has the ulti.
mate consumer OF copper withheld his or,
ders for such a prolonged time. confnins
his purchases to requirements OF the most
urgent necessity, so that in the event
of better sentiment in business circles
there Is every likelihood OF a considerable
and sustained buying movement in copper
arising"

Erie the barometer.

The manner in which the days advance
occurred was its most convincing feature.
Erie for many weeks has been spoken of
as the logical stock to reflect the immi-
hence OF the rate decision. Therefore
when Erie, which was not traded in at all
on Friday. suddenly developed activity
and strength yesterday morning II acted
like the lighting OF the fuse to keg of
powder. The whole list was promptly
galvanized into action. Reading jumped
2% points in half an hour, the biggest
daily fuctuation in a month. Steel COM
mon rose to a level almost equivalent 10
the high price OF last week with the dlvi-
dend on, and Union Pacific, New York
Central, Baltimore, Pennsylvania and
other stocks which will be affected by
the decision advanced buoyantly. There
never has been case when the market
responded more impressively to the
rumors of the decision In the rate case
and curiously enough there was nothing
to suggest that these ruinors were true
except the evidence OF the tape itself.
