STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

Today's market was somewhat re- actionary, although at all times a strong undertone was indicated When it is considered that industrials are earning more than half of their selling price it is no wonder that any event which in dicateS the subsistence of external trou- bles should be followed ny a substantial upward swing. We will get small set backs from time to time. but the trend of the market is toward higher prices.
 Copper stocks should be bought on any further setbacks. While the price to be paid for copper by the govern ment has not been decided on, the trade expects an average between 26 and 2S cents.
 U. S. Steel common sold at s135 a share. the highest price in it's history. The stock was well taken on all re- sessions.
 Central Leather is bought by well informed people, and appears to be purchase on all reactions
 Railroad stocks were strong and ac- tive for the first time in many days. These issues are heavily oversold and should sell much higher from this level.
 The curb market was quiet and stea dy.
