six pounds lighter than the average
weight OF men north of it, say United
States marine corps recruiting off,
GERS operating there, in a report re-
ceiyed at Marine Corps headquarters

have asked that the minimum weight
for recruits in he south be reduced
from 124 to 120 pounds, stripped.
"The large raw-boned southerner
is seldom seen. the recruiting Officers
aver, and, while the men Of the south
are as sound and fit as the men Of
any other section. they are usually
small boned and light in weight. The
officers point out in their reeommen'

COPPER MARKET DULL
Producers and Selling Interests Deny
Story of Big Allies Order

NEW YORK. June 12.--There has been
no change in the copper metal market, do
mestic users buying only small amounts
for delivery during the last three months
of the year. Some foreign inquiries are
in the market, but all the larger producing
and selling interests deny that any order
has been placed for substantial amount
for the account of the Allies.
1t is pointed out that the sellers are
booked on copper almost to the end of the
year and although some metal is to be
had for late months the amounts are so
Insignificant in comparison with previous
business from the Allies that any contracts
that could or would be made would involve
1917 shipments.
1t is said in the trade that inquiries from
abroad are in the market daily but none of
these has led to a belief that a big order
is pending. Nevertheless, it is true that an
opinion prevails that European countries
and especially the Allies, will be in the mar
ket soon for their requirements for next
year. and when this business is actually
placed and announced, II Is expected the
copper market will get another start up
ward.

MUCH COTTON Is SOLD BY ONE
OPERATOR AS MARKET OPENS
Prices Drop, Due to Heavy Selling,
After Steadiness at Start

| NEW YORK June t2.-Selling of Octo-
ber, December and January by one operator
on larger scale than has been witnessed
| in a long time was the feature of the cot
| ton market at the opening this morning.
In all this supply was estimated to have
been between $4,000 and 10000 bales.
The buying was scattered among room
traders and It was said around the ring
that this absorption seemed to have loaded
up these spectators who are now long.
Spot houses were moderate buyers of oc-
tober.
At the start the tone was comparatively
steady with prices 1 to points lower, but
as the session progressed and room traders
refrained from buying further, an easier
tendency developed and at the end of the
first Is minutes July and october, which
were frmest early, fell points, while Janu-
airy dropped points.
The early selling movement carried prices
some to 10 points net lower with october
selling at 1850, or 12 points under Satur-
days high level. Liverpool was a mod
crate buyer during the first half hour and
prices later showed rallies of or points
from the lowest. There seemed to be moth
ing in the news that created fresh senti-
ment around the ring andathe market was
dull after, IL o'clock.
The market showed little change late
in the day. Trading was quiet and prices
worked back to within or points from
Saturdays closing figures on little scat
tered buying, encouraged by steadiness in
New Orleans and talk of bullish supply and
distribution figures from the Census Bureau
tomorrow morning. Detailed weather re-
ports were considered favorable, but failed
to stimulate offerings, and the trade seems
to be as much impressed by the uncertainty
of growing conditions during July and Au-
gust as by the prospects for favorable
condition at the end of June,

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE coffee mar
ket opened quiet and easier this morning
with first prices to points lower. Sales
on the call were 1850 bags
The market continued quiet after the
opening, with prices at the lowest of the
morning. There did not appear to be any
thing in the way of fresh news to cause
expectations of higher market, and with
Europe, on account of the war not to be
figured as a factor in sustaining prices at
the opening of the new crop season, bears
contended that any undue pressure to sell
may cause further declines.
The demand for spot coffee continued dull
with an easier tendency, except for the more
desirable grades of Sentos.
1t is said the present Brazil crop will
exceed 100000 bags and the worlds pro-
duttion of all kinds will be next to the
largest ever grown.
1t was figured that the 1861 crop of
Rio and Santos would be 1871 to 14,OOO,-
900 bags. The spot market was unchanged
at 91sc for Rio No Z,
