Character in Reading

The Youths Companion does more than entertain: it affords the reader a mental and moral tonic. Its stories are not only we'll told, contributed by the best writers of stories, but they maintain the standards, reflect the ideals of the best homes. They do not throw a false glamour over the tow dry things of life. Rather do they depict the courageous, the heaithful, the simle-the true life of the greater convicts with their adventures, their conzicts of temperament, their fail ures and successes. In 1917 The Companion will print 12 serials and story groups besides fully 250 single stories and sketches, all for $2.00. The forecast for 1917, which we will send on request, tells all about the great features of the coming volume. By special arrangement new sub scribers for The Youths Companion can have also McCall's Magazine for 1917-both publications for $2.10.
 Our two-at-one- price offer includes: 1. The Youths Companion--52 is sues of 1917.
 2. All the remaining issues of 1916.
 8. The Companion Home Calendar for 1917.
 
 {. McCall's Magazine-12 fashion numbers of 1917.

in its December letter on the condition
of the market. says the actual strength
of the copper situat on is freely ad-
mitted and fully realized by every one
in any way connected with the indus
tries using this metal, and adds:
But while this is all true IL does not
provide an argument for an imitation OF

The official spot quotation Jester
day was 50 points lower than on the
.inal dealings Tuesday, but the fut-
ure contracts showed only trifing
losses. after a rapid succession Of ad-
vances and recessions, which az times
were extremely violent. After open
ing declines Of over % points there
was an advance OF about 80 points,
which was followed in turn by drop
OF % points. The urgent need of a
balance wheel was plainly evident, and
it is generally conceded that the mar
ket viii continue in It's present sensi-
tive condition until matters become
more settled in Europe.
The sharp decline at the outset was
traceable largely 10 an accumulation of
selling orders which had been brought
out By the heavy margin calls sent out
after the big break late on Tuesday.
Although the Liverpool market rallied
sharply after early weakness, additional
selling orders were received from that
quarter. On the other hand. II was

buying Tor this account. which was said
70 aggregate between $4,000 and l00, 900
bales. was largely responsible for the
complete recovery before noon. Many
covering orders from Wall Street
shorts also made their appearance,
while a fresh speculative demand was
in evidence. based on the belief that the
recent decline had been uniustihably
large and had materially strengthened
the markets technical position.
