c1osrna STOCK LETTER.

BY Private Wire to Finance Company.
NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-There IS not
much to relate in the way of actual
news. Rumors Of favorable character
caused the rally to-day just as unfavor-
able reports brought about yesterdays
decline. The recovery. however. is en-
courasins as it is the first one in a
week and was over due even though the
trend may be STALL toward a lower level.
News tickers reported price fixing for
steel and copper at around s6S and IS
CENTS per pound respectively.
These prices II true would warrant
ptimism, as they would be considered
Fair: to everybody. If prices continue to
advance tomorrow. We rather think It
would be well TO sell some stock. Many
shorts were covered to-day.
