exhibition Of strength Of any time
since the turn Of the market came on
Wednesday. Quotations were carried
UP rapidly with gains of to ; points
for many shares in the first few min
utes of trading. A reaction came quick
~. however, ana the market wa9-de-
pressed below yesterdays last figures.
During the greater part Of the session,
movements were narrow and irregular
but toward the close renewed strength
appeaed and the advance was resumed
er ergetically. Total sales were e66, 900
shares.
The price fixed for copper was re-
garded as satisfactory. not only be-
cause 1t put an end to fears Of Q So
we're scaling down quotation. because
OF the federal differences which might
be drawn in regard to the settlement
of similar pending questions. That the
market did not show better sustained
strength under the influence Of the an
ncuncement probably was due to tho
fact that its effect was largely dis
counted by the recent rise. The con-
which even the marked change for tho
better in the last few days has failed
to stimulate to any appreciable extent
limited the buying power OF the mar
ket and made 1t sensitive to profit TAX
ing sales.
The coppers developed pronounced
strength on the late return with q gain
of 8 SIS for Smelling. Steel shares
also were active and strong. There
were few weak spots among the in
oustrials, including motor and zinc
shares. Railroads. as heretofore, were
neglected. Canadian Pacific was heavy.
There was an unusually active de-
mnnd for Liberty bonds which sold at
a premium for the first time in
months. The range was 99.9S to 10000.

LESS IN EAST
OF Business Gain than Elsewhere,
Says Dun's Review

New York Sept. 21.-Dun's Review to-
morrow will say:
THE gain in business with the advanc-
ing season Is not yet general or uniform.
and rather less of it is seen in the East
than at other points Where none at all
appears, or where there is some actual
recession. 1t is plainly due more to I'M
certainty than to lack of confidence in
the future. At bottom business In various
branches has hesitated because the out
look has been and still is more or less
couded. and the tendency to act with
caution in anticipating forward wants
grows in many quarters. But while the
present policy OF conservative purchasing
and more largely for immediate and GER
tain needs. contrasts sharply with last
years rush to contract far ahead at al
most any figure, and is disappointing to-
some interests. 1t is one which clearly
makes for more wholesome conditions and
mone stable progress. The inevitable re-
action from the extreme prices reached
during the time Of unprecedented de-
mands has already gone some distance in
certain Of the chief fields OF industry and
readjustments have in some cases
brought with them signs Of reviving ac-
tiyity.
