The better grade of copper stocks

America Facing Great
Boom In Retail Trade
Stocks Increased in Both Quantity and Quality and
Securities Market Expects Resumption of
-.. Valorization Movement.

America today Is confronted with
one of tho greatest booms in retail
trade which the nation has ever en-
joyed. Larger stocks OF goods are
generally being placed upon shelves
b. merchants and. encouraged by
better conditions OF employment and
higher wages. the quality Of the
GODS Is said to be higher.
Not only is there Improvement in
mercantile and commercial lines. Ia
the security markets all signs no W
point to resumption of the valoriza /.
tion movement. the tendencies in
which were interrupted by the gam
bling craze that took possession of
the public several weeks ago.
The New York zfmes Of today portrays
trade conditions In an exceptionally
optimistic light. 1t says:
After Thanksgiving Day the re-
tail trade of the country turns to
the holiday business and this has
now begun in all the large centers
The auspices under which this has
started are brighter than for many
prosperous conditions which pre-
vail and which are usually control
ling, the business has been helped
very much this fall by ideal wealth
or tnat Drought with II seasonable
purchases before the time came for
the holiday trade to begin. The
character and extent Of these pur-
chases have been SO satisfactory
that an equally gratifying amount
Of holiday buying Is expected.
Large stocks Of goods have been
accumulated to meet the demand
and they are. as . rule. Of higher
grade than has been customary in
recent years. This is in Difference
to the changed aspect that has
been brought about by the quick
ening of activity in practically
ment Of Increased wages and
greater employment. And these
things merely supplement the
riches drawn from fields. farms.
and mines.
