Metals

TIE metal markets remain quiet.
While copper production appears 10 be
increasing in some directions there is
not enough of the metal to supply the
demand, and il is altogether probable
that the price for early delivery would
be at record level were it not for the
governments restrictions. "The En-
cheering and Mining Journal" review
ing the local market for the week, says:
at is certain that the month Of No
vcmber will end with producers owing
a great deal of copper that ought to
have been delivered. Occasionally some
manufacturer has evinced a desire to
secure more than his share of copper
in order TO keep his plant running full,
but the copper producers committee
has no favorites and nearly all of the
manufacturers have cheerfully recog
nized the situation that exists and have
done their part to make things fair to
everybody and as easy as possible.
There is nothing in the agreement be-
tween the government and the pro-
ducers that prevents the latter from
selling copper for delivery later than
January, 1918. An interesting feature
this week was some selling TO consum-
ers for February and later delivery at
2S1 cents"
Current spot prices for few OF the
principal metals and metal products
compared with those prevailing at the
corresponding time of last year fol
low.

What are the qualities that make .

What are the qualities that make .
person "livable WITH" as We say!
Is not he fundamental one respect
for our own rights and for the rights
OF others And is not one side OF the
question equally as important az the
other?
If my child must respect certain
rights and privileges which belong to
me as parent, then | must respect
rights and privileges that belong to
him.
One Of the first marked traits q child
develops q. soon as he is able to play
with others Is wanting to have things
for his very own. He quickly learns
the "mine" and shine" Of things, and
especially the "mine." 1t is my book,
my rattle, my ball, and great is the up
roar when he is requested to share his
property rights with another At this
stage young mothers arc of,cH given
70 encouragement and make such re-
i
do with my boy. fear he has an en-
tremely selfish disposition. He refuses
to let any other child so much as touch
any of his playthings." But wait, dear
mother, remember that instincts are
crude when they first appear and must
be wisely and patiently trained.
Learns to Respect Others
Let US first respect the child'S rights
and say, "Yes, il is your ball, but won't
you let your little friend play with it ?"
BY following this method we shall
find the child becoming more and more
aware Of his playmate's as we'll rs his
own rights He will share his favorite
blocks with another not because some
grown-up in authority says you must
but voluntarily, because ne respects
the rights of another to share in his
play. The idea does not formulate
itself In his little mind in so many
words, perhaps, but it is the response
that follows from instinctively reeog-
mixing that he is being given his due

COrn.-The corn market was moder-
ately active and price changes were
feverish and irregular. Early in the
day the December position in Chicago
made a new high record, selling at
SLIPS, which is within 3 cents of the
fixed maximum price. The trade at
large seemed In a reactionary frame Of
mind, owing to the fact that prices
have experienced an upturn Of about
8 cents a bushel during the week, and
the movement Of the crop gave rise to
expectations of an early increase in
the movement. Offers were quite read
lily taken, however, and after a decline
Of z to / cent for the late months
prices rallied in sympathy with oats,
and for a time the whole list was SELL
ing above the final of Friday. Toward
the close there was partial reaction
under profit taking for over Sunday
and quotations were &c net higher for
December and &c TO nc lower for the
other months. Cash corn in the West
was easier, the better grades showing
declines Of 10 cents. while low grade
corn was down about cents. The
future Of the market seems to depend
largely on the extent Of the movement,
and while a readjustment OF values is
in progress, so far the cash position
has been affected more than futures.

Cereals

Wheat.-The distribution Of wheat
seems to be the most important factor
in the situation at present. Prices are
fixed by the government, and conse-
quently fail to be influenced by any
changes in the situation, and handlers
of wheat are particularly interested in
the movement from the farms. Re-
ceipts last week were smaller, with
losses of about 100000 bushels from
the previous week. 1t has been shown,
however, that wheat this season is be-
ing delivered to the mills without APP
pearing at terminal points, and it has
been asserted that the marketing has
been more liberal than appears on the
surface.
