FINANCIAL RECORD
HERE AND ABROAD
Market Reacts Further
Automobile and the
Coppers Firm.

There was further reaction yestcr-
day in a small market, though some
Of the copper and automobile stocks
were higher in the last half hour 80
far as traders were concerned inc
Steel trust victory seemed spent as an
immediate market influence. RecoGnl-
ton Of the serious international com
plication in which this country IS stiIi
involved Is apparently more general
than might be supposed from much OF
the idle gossip Of the Street ne
crash Of prices that followed the
I.usitaria disaster seems too close %
encourage another sustained burst Of
speculation that might meet similar
shocking DEVELOPMENTS, and our note
TO Germany will soon he made pubic.
Declines Of point or so IN stocks
Of corporatione that we're beng sued
under the antitrust law and lregu ar
losses in standard issues still left the
market well above the close OF the
nrevious week. Steel ended az its
lowest below 60. more than point
down on the day. Can and corn pro-
ducts made similar declines Union
and Southern Pacific were of about a
point and Canadian Pacific, whose
earnings continue unsatisfactory, lost
?. points.
The immense Ford dividend stimu-
lated automobile stocks on the eN-
change. In one instance the maximum
gain reached over 10 points, and Gen
eral Motors went TO new high record.
Reports Of inquiry for large amount
o. conner. apparently for ordnance pur-
noses. and Of sales Of the metal al IL 2
cents caused considerable late &C
tivitv in the copper stocks. Amalgam-
sted and Anaconda closed around point
higher. but such gains were not gen
eral throughout the copper group.
Another increase in surplus 10 a
further high record was shown in the
hank statement In spite Of the cor
rorate financing of the week loans
we're increased less than Ss,000,0oO and
the increase in deposit requirements
was more than met by expanded re
serves. The excess Of reserves above
present legal limits went nearly So
oOO 600 higher 10 over SlS600O. 600. At
the Federal Reserve Bank of this dis
-ric.. in spite Of ease Of money, bills
discounted increased nearly Sl.00OOoO.
Investments Of the bank fell of over
100000. through maturing o. war
Another S2.5oo,OOo in gold from
Canada was deposited in the Sub
Treasury after the close Of business.
Through the day sterling rates were a
,rife easier but sight drafts on Lon
don ended at 47Sas in the pound. after
having varied in narrow limits for the
last two weeks Imports Of gold and
powerful support of the exchange
market have prevented further decline
in sterling rates, though our shipments
continue abnormally heavy and war or
ders have still great volume of exports
10 turn out. During the week exchange
on Paris reached a new low record but
here there was recovery before the
close.
