New York. Sept. n Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
while cross currents born OF un-
certainties regarding the effects OF
governmental price-hxing, economic
ing by consupers and widespread
labor troubles, run through the gem
eral situation. the broad swing OF
trade is in the direction of further
expansion. House trade in the stan
dard staples has increased. distribu-
ton by retail dealers is better, buying
of holiday goods Is already noted, news
respecting the remaining unharvested
crops Is favorable, money is in active
demand. collections range from fair
to good. and industry is brisk. being
only hampered by insufficient supplies
Of labor and limited deliveries of raw
materials.
ION the other hand, the labor situ-
alton is disconcerting, strikes are nu-
merous, especially on the Pacific
coast; the draft has made further in
roads on the supply of help. and
wages keep on rising. Incidentally.
readjustments to a war basis continue
to shift activities from some lines
to military pursuits and in a general
way there is less disposition to an
ticipate for future requirements, the
theory being that prices have ad
vanced to a point that renders it i'm
prudent to load up, and, moreover,
IL is thought that by buying enough
for the season that Is in sight, recess
sions may be superinduced."

The World of Finance and Trade
TRADING IS Dull
ON LOCAL CHANGE
Capital Traction Sells at 80Lz Ex-
Dividend-Bonds Are Slow.

Though it must be admitted there
was a little improvement on the
daily session OF the stock exchange
yesterday. it was more sentimental
than real. and the transactions were
not numerous.
Capital Traction sold at so 1-2 ex-
dividend, being equivalent to 81 "a
dividend on. or about the best prices
OF recent sessions.
A number of sales of Union Trust
Company stock were reported at
120. the usual prevailing bid price
for these shares.
Bonds were slow at 1o2 for Capt.
tai Traction IS and 95 for Potomac
Consolidated 5s.
During the week ended with yes
terday's session the trades totaled
but $4,000 bonds and 249 shares Of
stock.
A second meeting OF the liberty
loan committee of the District Bank
ers' Association to plan ways and
means for aiding in the second bond
campaign was held yesterday aft
ernoon.
The following analysis OF the New
York market situation was received
late yesterday afternoon by w. B.
Hibbs and Company from C. B.
Chaplin & Co.. their New York cor
respondents:
After the initial display Of
strength the market was subjected
to considerable realizing by buyers
of the early week. but offerings
were absorbed in impressive fash
ion. and as the session progressed
the market, under the leadership of
the copper issues. displayed re-
newed buoyancy with quotations for
many of the stocks apprcciably
above yesterdays finals.
Buying was actuated by the lib
eral treatment accorded the copper
producers of the country by the
government in it's dictation OF a
price OF 90 1-2 cents a pound on the
red metal. This of course Is taken
as a precursor of similar reason
ahleness to be extended manufac-
turers Of steel, and this has foster
ed the belief that the government
in its efforts to keep the price Of
the various vital necessities within
bounds will not adopt drastic meth
ods. Consequently, more cheerful
sentiment is engendered and the
loaninS of banking interests seem
to he along more constructive lines.
As a result. security prices will
likely reflect the changed order OF
things by inclining upwards.

WEEKL Y REVIEW OF TRADE

New York, Sept H.-Dun's review
tomorrow will say:
THE gain in business with the ad-
vancing season is not yet general or
uniform, and rather less of 1t is seen
in the East than at other points. Where
none at all appears, or where there il
some actual recession, II Is plainly
due more to uncertainty than to lack
of confidence in the future. At bot
tom, business In various branches has
hesitated because the outlook has
been and still Is more or less clouded,
and the tendency to act with caution
in anticipating forward wants grows
In many quarters. But while the pres
ent policy Of purchasing, and more
largely for immediate and certain
needs. contrasts sharply with last
years rush to contract far ahead at
almost any figure, and il disappoint-
ing to some interests, 1t is some which
clearly makes for more wholesome
conditions and more stable progress.
"The inevitable reaction from the
extreme prices reached during the
time of unprecedented demands has
already gone some distance In GER
tain of the chief materials OF indus
try and the readjustments have In
some cases brought with them signs
of reviving activity. though not few
/, buyers still hold off for further con-
cessions by sellers. Government re-
uuirements are in many instances
sustaining influence. but the number
of hands employed has been lessoned
by strikes in some directions. and the
labor situation Is also troublesome In
other ways. With its many obstacles.
strictly domestic business does not
now equal to previous maximum, ana
the restrictions on overseas trace
make exports smaller in quantiies'
vet that the money volume is stlli very
| large all statistics show and the re-
| latively light commercial mor'al'y

Optimism REIGNS
ON N. Y. EXCHANGE
Official Fixing Of Copper Serves to
Strengthen Market.

tBy the Internattomai News sefNcc'
New York. Sept. e1.-Cheerfulness
was manifest in Wall Street today.
The governments announcement OF
the official fixing of % 1-2 cents for
copper. while expected. served to
strengthen confidence in the mar
ket conditions. The creerful feel
ing was early reflected in the execu-
tiOn of buying orders which mate
rally advanced the general list The
copper price fixing announcement
was expected. as stated. but the
figure determined upon was rather
better than had been hoped for.
Many had not anticipated a price
better than 221-2 cents steel
shares received a good share OF at
tcntion in sympathy with the cop
per announcement. and also in eN-
pectation of the forthcoming price

This. it is believed. will be an
nounced within a few days, possi-
biy at the same time the POmerene

President Speculation was rife to-
day regarding the probability OF
the steel pri, being as satisfactory
as IS that for copper.
There was profit taking before
noon. This was to be expected, as
the ma joTity of stocks had seen a
material rise. But in the later trad
