FOR CON-
 ARIZONA-RYAN CASE
(From Saturdays Daily)

Judgment was given for the defend ant on its plea in bar, in the case of D. ]. Ryan versus the Consolidated Arizona Smelling Co. yesterday, Judge Lyman deciding the case after hearing of several hours.
 But few witnesses were called. The records of the recorders office cover ing the Iron Chief copper claim near the DeSoto, were presented by Dep uty Recorder Dolly Butler. Ryan, the plaintiff and c. N. Colvocoresses, general manager of the Consolidated Arizona, were the principal witnesses
 A little humor was injected into the suit when LeRoy Anderson for the defendant had Court Reporter Lih- coin H. Beyerle sworn as witness, and asked his name. Your name is L. II. Bcyerlc, is it not:" asked coun- sell

There are many in this city who will regret to learn that Miss Amy Harris, visitor last Summer for sev- eral months, was quite seriously burned by electricity about ten days ago at her home in Huntsville, Ark, in a peculiar accident. She had de- tached the light globe from the socket and was preparing to insert the plug in making the connection with an electric curling iron, when her moistencd hair came in contact herewith, resulting in severe scalp burns. Her injuries will not be per manent, although for three days af- terward she complained of intense headaches during the night. Miss Harris IS contemplating another trip to Prescott in a fev weeks for her health.

Stock Letter.

NEW YORK, July 2-The slight initial betterment and the failure of a broader outside buying power to de- velop on the very favorable Russian news, again emphasized the fact that the public for the time being is un- doubtedly well supplied with securi- ties of various kinds and as a conse- quence, much disinclined to take hold of the buying side in more aggressive fashion.
 The favorable bank statement of Saturday, which seems to indicate a freer supply of funds. also failed to stimulate constructive sentiment
 The excess profits tax in its pre- liminary form came in for much dis cussion and opposite views were taken as to the effect the application of the impost intended will have on the fu- turc net earning capacity of business in general.
 That shareholders especially in the Western and Southern railroad com panies, more fully realize the meaning of the interstate commerce commis- sion's decision was more apparent today and reflected in steady selling for this account and consequent sharp declines in many instances. The weakness in this department, as the session progressed produced unsettle- ment in the entire list, and closing prices were at about the days low levels.
 Labor trouble in the various indus tries is causing a little more concern as is also the legislative activities in Washington which today intimates that if the senate action on same is any criterion that cotton and cotton products may came under Federal supervision and be injected into the food control bill
 It looks as though strong bullish incentive will have to present itself before an advance of goodly propor- tions will be recorded.

NEW YORK, July 2-The stock market started out strong, steels and locomotive issues leading in the ad- vance which seemed to culminatc when the rails continued to sag. It seems as though the rails arc in for some of the liquidation that prevailed last week in the motor and oil issues. They are in rather friendless posi- | tion-their operating expenses are greater, yet they cannot raise rates as other industries might raise the price of their products. It might be just as we'll to let this group alone for the present. Labor troubles are causing the coppers to hesitate and at the present time prices we believe can be safely bought. The steels and loco motive issues seem the best, for with liquidation going on in others, these issues continue strong and are mak- ing new high levels as in the case oi Baldwin Locomotive today.
 By vote of 43 to g the senate de- cided to add cotton and cotton pro- ducts 10 the list of commodities to be controlled by the government under food and liquor bill
 It is said that the labor situation in copper industry is becoming alarm- ing, and that is putting it mildly. It is said the spread of the strike will force the government to step in and adjust matters.
 Irregular recovery is expected in the market. Specialties are likely to go higher, noticeably Crucible. Stecls are well bought including United States and Republic Steel There may be more liquidation in some of the rails especially St Paul but this group is well supported by big shortage. Digestion of the decision suggests that it is much better than appeared at the first and further re- tircment of the bear element is indi catcd. It is intimated in banking offices that the war taxation develop ments are better than expected. Colo rado Fuel should be stimulated by the declaration of dividend on the common stock
