biggest and brosdest and in many re-
spects the most interesting so far this
year. In fact, one had 20 GO back TO
the halcyon days Of last October, when
the war stocks were at the height OF
their boom, TO find day with larger
turnover. In the five hours around
100000 shares changed hands-the
1000, 000-share mark being passed, for
that matter, before the end Of the
fourth hour. II was the third 100000
share day Of the year, with the largest
turnover since October % of last year,
when the total reached 1889 900 shares.
Curiously enough, that day, like yester-
Gay, saw sharp advance in the rails
and the copper stocks.

Coppers Do the Unexpected.

Copper stocks also attracted atten-
ton yesterday by their strength. The
advances in issues like Anaconda, Ken
necott and Utah were all the more
conspicuous in view Of the recent heav-
mess displayed by the group. More
over their strength contrasted with
pronounced weakness in n number OF
the zinc shares. Kennecott Copper was
unusually active. leading all the in
dustrials with a turnover of around
$4,000 shares, while Anaconda showed
5000 shares. Both issues were af-
fected by rumors of an impending in
crease in dividends, the report being
that Kennecott will 60 on Sc basis
and Anaconda on an S. basis at the

cases of smallpox Is not so often the
fault OF the physician as it is of the
sympathetic neighbor or the amateur

to say that the disease had characters

taken, and which would instantly differ

from any other disease known to human
ity.
We fancy this popularity of the dis
ease still exists, and if so, why should
there be any liability to mistake in dag,
