ties that have I'm no way any direct
interest IN the goincs on at the bor-

had quite o decline Of late, but on
most occasions it has offered vigor-
Gus resistance TO selling, and has had
q way az rallying that has proved dis
c0rccrting 10 bear operators. The
thing that holders Of the stock have
kept ir mind through all the unpleas-
autncss in Mexico has been the fact
that the company last year showed an
increase in net earnings OF S5,43O.oOo
over the year before, regardless OF the
fact that the properties IN Mexico
were unproftable and unproductive.
Another encouraging feature was that
IN spite o. tho unsettlement IN Mex

Tennessee Copper sold "ex-dividend'
Yesterday and plus disappointment.
For once a copper stock responded TO
news. Passing Of the dividend by the
directors late Thursday brought q rush
Of selling az the opening yesterday and
The unloading process transferred some
23O00 shares. Tennessee opened l,3OO
shares at SO, rallied TO 97&, suffered
another sinking spell later in the day,
when 10 tumbled TO 83. and closed Z
points down, at 34A. Last year the
Stock got as high as 70, and as re-
gently as January stood at 661s. Recol-
lection OF the statement issued last
week by the executive committee
aroused bitter criticism among the
stockholders yesterday. This said there
had been no discussion by the direc--
tors regarding payment Of any special
or extra dividend.

Marine Hitch Rumor Denied.

The Platten committee Of the Inter
national Mercantile Marine Company
has prepared a balance sheet as Of
Nav ~. which shows the cash re
sources 20 be between S65,000,0O0 and
S70O00.0O0. The statement for the
first time has assembled all the quick
assets which heretofore have not been
obtained owing TO the inaccessibility
Of some Of the Offices of the various
subsidiaries. Weakness in the Inter
national Mercantile Marine shares yes
terdav was followed by rumors that
some hitch had arisen in the plans TO
take the property out Of receivership.
This was officially denied, the state
mert being made that the lawyers are
now preparing 20 advertise the plan as
agreed 10 by the various interests. Ex-
rectatiors were that an official an
rouncemcnt of the terms would be
made next week.

WHEAT.

The wheat market broke violently during
yesterdays transactions. and new low records
for the season were established. The July
position in Chicago sold under the 81 marx
and there was a general unloading OF long
holdings Stop loss orders were encountered
on the decline and the more bullish feeiing
which had developed In some quarters on the
theory that prices were low enough Tor war
times was completely disspated, and a great
deal Of wheat which had been purchased FOR
\ rally was thrown over on the decline. The
action OF the market was due largely 10 i'm
proved weather and crop advices which gave
rise 20 expectations that in very short tune
new crop wheat will be competing with the
heavy offers Of old wheat. and that the
pressure on the cash position VIII be conse-
quently much heavier than at present
It was estimated that there were $4,000 600
bushels OF Canadian wheat available Tor eN-
port. and that il will require 500 cars day
