DUE TO GERMAN REPLY

New York, Aug. T.-Notwithstanding
the heavy volume of stocks supplied on
all bulges the market displayed a strong
tone today, closing with gains averaging
a point in the Standard issues and two to
three points in the specialties. Copper
shares were strong throughout the ses-
sion, Anaconda and Smelters being the
leaders of this group. Strength Of the
general list was due to reports from
Washing ton that Germany would make
ample payment for the sinking of the
Lusitania and the Arabic, SO far as Amer
leans were interested, and that German
submarine commanders had been notified
TO war; n~utral passengers before sink
ing passenger steamships.
In the opinion of Wall Street this great

Confidence in Steel.
Initial gazing at the beginning of trading
today ranged from a fraction to full
point. Rumely and Tennessee Copper
were exceptions, showing losses for spe-
cial reasons.
A strong undertone prevailed at the

Strength of Philadelphia Company

This company is very closely allied
with the steel business. in that its nat

Weekly Repiew of Trade
Southern Situation Brighter According to Financial Review
In Practically All Lines Of Business Signs Are Good Un-
evenness Is Shown in Some Quarters

New York, Aug. 2T-Dun's weekly re-
view will say tomorrow:
Intrinsically sound fundamental condi-
tons more than offset the adverse infiu-
ence Of existing problems and uncertain
ties. While increased conservatism Is
natural under the circumstances, gen.
eral business has nevertheless made fur
Their gains and belief in sustained i'm
provement remains mistaken. Wall
Street has given a notable demonstra-
ton of confidence after a brief period Of
unsettlement, and though stability has
not yet been restored in the foreign ex-
change market an adjustment of the
present difficulties is expected to result
from the negotiations now being con-
Quoted. Another large French credit has
been stablished here, and New York
has assumed a commanding position as
the financial center of the world. The
cotton contraband declaration acts as an
additional handicap to the South. yet
prices have shown underlying strength.
Apart from the international compli-
dissension in labor channels
constitutes the most disturbing element
in the immediate outlook
Conditions in iron and steel have made
such rapid strides forward that the ques-

New York, Aug. T-Eradstreet's week
ly review will say tomorrow:
Uplifting factors continue to assert
themselves in trade and industrial circles
but at the same time there is a degree Of
unevenness in particular sections and
certain industries that deprives the stu
alton Of uniformity. However. optimism
as to the future seems undated; our in
ly grave early In the week. appear to
have improved; the Southern situation is
brighter; money everywhere Is plentiful
at low rates; collections are somewhat
easier: bank clearings excel those Of 1913
and 1912. while, Of course, dwarfng those
Of 1914; railway passenger trafic Is
heavy: foreign orders for manufactured
war supplies continue Of large proper
tons; higher prices prevail for iron and
steel: premiums rule on some finished
articles for early delivery: mills are fall
Ing behind on shipments: copper has
emerged from its recent spell OF dullness;
lumber. long depressed, Is In better
shape.
"On other hand. buyers have not entire
ly divorced themselves from conservatism:
retail trade. though good in some Sec
tons. Is not altogether favorable; cool
weather being partly responsible: the
