 NEW YORK, July 1S.-(Wall Street. The superficial character of prevail ing stock market conditions was strik- ingly illustrated today when the shorts resumed their attacks upon the more susceptible stocks in a fairly success full effort to depress the entire list.
 St, Paul was the main objective, de clining 51k points to 67h. Other divl- dend paying rails yielded 1 to points with no appreciable recoveries.
 Motors also claimed the attention Of professional traders, the Maxwell group falling 1 to points. Reversals other wise were confined to some of the oils, miner equipments and specialties, at gross recessions of 1 to points.
 The few features of strength were limited to stocks of little potential value as market leaders these includ- ing the various issues which derive their chief support from pools. United States SteeTs course was typical of that followed by other prominent stocks. Steel sold up to 122A and closed at 120%, a net loss of IS points Total sales amounted to 640, GOO shares.
 Rubles dropped to the new minimum of 21A. Renewal of call loans at six per cent, although the rate subsequent | ly dropped to 3, offered little hope of immediate relaxation in local none | tary conditions.
 The strength of Denver and Rio | Grande refunding 5's which rose over four points was the feature of the IT. regular bond market The liberty issue ranged from 99.41 to 99.45. Total sales of bonds, par value, $2,6S0,000. 1s United States coupon and registered

 Bearish effects which peace gossip brought about in the corn market in the final 15 minutes of trading were based chiefly on a Munich report that the German chancellor would declare before the reichstag tomorrow for a policy of no annexation. Regardless of peace rumors, corn for immediate delivery went to new high price record, No. yellow at $2.04 a bushel. Announcement from Washington that the winter wheat harvest was ten days to two weeks behind the average time and that spring wheat from Montana westward was suffering greatly foi moisture, seemed to be a source of much uneasiness on the part of scat tered shorts.
 Oats were governed by the action of corn.
 Provisions lacked support. The main reason was decline in hog quotations. Wheat-July, $2.26; Sept. s2.96

about one-fourth of the value of the
diamonds and in preceding years about
one-siXth of that Of the diamonds
brought into the country.
The explanation offered by import
ers and dealers of the more rapid per-
centage of growth in the importation
of the pearl is that pearls are "more
in favor" than formerly. In fact
prices of pearls have advanced ever

archipelago, the Philippine islands,
the coasts of Australia, Burma and
Ceylon, the Red Sea, the Persian gulf,
ard the Pearl Islands in the Bay Of
Panama. The diamonds imported by
the United States are drawn from
Great Britain, France and the Meth
erlands, but are chiefly produced in
South Africa.
The value of precious stones i'm
ported into the United States since
1900 is over $50O,00O,000, of which
diamonds were about 100000 and
pearls approximately $40,OO0,0OO, the
calendar year 1916 having made the
highest record of all precious stones,
with total of over $52,O00,O00, pearls
forming a larger percentage of this
large importation of 1916 than in any
preceding year in the history of the
importation Of precious stones. This
high record of 1916 is, however, due
to the large increase in the importa-
tion of pearls, the diamonds imported
in 1916 having been slightly less in
value than in the calendar year 1913.
The people of the United States now
own fully two-fifths of the known dia-
monds of the world, their value ex-
ceeding those of any other country
while the annual importation for do
mestic use is also greater than that
of any other country.

PEARLS MORE POPULAR.
Il NOW THAN D|tNONDS

importation of pearls into the Unit
ed States in 1916 was double in value
that OF any preceding year. A COM
pllation by the foreign trade depart-
ment of the National City Bank OF
New York of the importation of pre-
clous stones in 1916 shows that it is
to the pearl that this year owes its
record as that of the greatest impor-
tation of precious stones.
The value of precious stones i'm
ported in the calendar year 1916 for
the first time crossed the $5O,OOO,OO0
line, amounting in round terms to
$52,OOO,0O0, against $27,OOO,OOO in
1915, $2O,000,0O0 in 1914, and $47,-
100000 in 1918, the former high record
year. But this high record for 1916
is due solely to the popularity of the
pearl, of which the importations of
1916 amounted to approximately S12,-
100000, against little over $4,000
O0O in the preceding year and a trifle
over $5,000,O00 millions in the former
high record years, 1918 and 1912.
Indeed, so little was the pearl il
favor among the importers of pre-
cious stones that the Department Of
Commerce did not find it necessary
to take a separate record of its i'm
rortations prior to 1911, merely in
cluding it in the group "all othe1
precious stones" In 1911, however
the importations amounted to nearl,

clear that their projection into the
war would greatly influence the is
sue and make definitely for an early
peace.
This country can, and will, carry
all the cotton in America today and
all that is likely to be grown this
year, until the war is over, should it
be necessary, and carry it, too, without
serious Inconvenience.
We believe firmly that this country
will be equal to every responsibility
the future may bring. that its economic
power will remain unimpaired and that
the events just ahead will serve to
advance its prestige in the world.

By w. W. Morrison

After all it must be admitted that
have been better prepared mentally
for the happening of the week, than
they apparently were, for the very
nature of world conditions made the
development Of such sensational
event possible at any moment And
certainly traders had every reason to
make the broadest allowance in their
calculations for the hysteria the event
produced.
Viewed calmly in the light Of rea-
son, the outlook is not nearly so bad
as it has been interpreted to he by
the markets. It is obvious that the
resources of Germany and all the
other belligerents are already taxed
to the limit. So, even should this
country be drawn into the war, it
hardly looks reasonable that business
here would be so disastrously affected
as has been indicated by market fluc-
tuations. 1t would, of course, inter-
fere with our foreign commerce, but
certainly not to the extent that an
excited public now believes that it
would be.
In whatever course this country may
take, it is likely to be supported by
the neutral nations. Many things
have indicated of late that these ma
tons are about ready to abandon the
somewhat sentimental attitude they
have maintained, for more practical
view Of the war, and to act in prac-
tical concert to protect their rights
against a ruthless invasion by Ger
many, or any of the other nations at
war, as to that matter.
In view of the vast sea power Of
the Allies, it seems common sense
to assume that they will continue to
move some supplies into their ports.
To assume less would be to concede
an influence to the submarine which
it's achievements so far do not war
rant. The records of imports and
exports of the Allied countries dom
onstrate this. So it looks reasonable
to expect that a considerable amount
of grain, cotton and other staples viii
move, regardless of this order of
Germany.
This move of Germany and tie
prospects of drawing this country il
to the conflict are almost certain to
greatly limit the efforts to produce
a crop Of cotton in America this year,
Should peace come, therefore, within
the next eighteen months, there is q
fair chance Of its finding the avail
able supply of cotton somewhere
around 100000 bales less than The
urgent needs of the world. Those
who own cotton then would get fab
ulous price.
If events should greatly depress
prices, and they may, we believe it
will offer an opportunity to make .
great fortune which rarely comes,
even, once in a hundred years.

sition of the neutral nations makes il

Old Dividend Payer

The Old Dominion plant was entirely re-
modelled, and from 1904 to 1907 nearly 3d.
100000 was spent in improvements. The Old
Dominion company began paying dividends
in 1905 one year after its organization, and
has paid steadily ever since. AS dividend
payer the Old Dominion Company of Maine,
the holding company, has been somewhat Of a
record breaker. These dividends up to the
advent Of the European war were: 1905, Soc;
1906, SOC; 1907, $3.50; 1908, 5Oc 1909, $3.50;

The Old Dominion Mine, discovered forty
three years ago, before the railroads had pen
etrated Arizona, and when the terrtorv'S
chief inhabitants were rowing bands of wild
Indians, has proved of immense value to ella
county, to Arizona and to the world It is
about this mine the history Of the district has
been conferred This mine has had its many
ups and downs but it finally became one of
the big factors of the states copper produc-
ton 1t has overcome difficulties like Tro-
Jan, has met every emergency and today looms
forth as one of the brightest stars in the firm
ament of the copper industry of the world.
The Old Dominion mine was developed from
a cOpper-stained outcrOp to one of the most
important producers of copper in America
and on the once barren hills thanking Pinal
creek there has been reared one of the most
populous and prosperous mining cities in the
west
As it is known today, the Old Dominion
Copper Mining & Smelling company is the
pioneer of the district and one of the oldest
mines in Arizona Soon after the close of the
civil war; those hardy pioneers of civilization,
the prospectors, ventured into Arizona. But
their explorations were restricted for many
years by the dangers from hostile Indians
who bore no love for the white man. There
were some soldiers of fortune among the pros
pectors, and these took the big change against
all danger. For them the wilderness, with it's
Indians and the mountains and the deserts
held no terror. They dared and Won
Among these was band of prospectors who
left the little settlement of Florence in 1874
to explore the unknown mountains to the east.
Crossing Pinal range they finally reached the
banks of Pinal creek near what is now the
city of Globe Here they discovered a large
iron and copper stained outcrop on which
they located the Globe Claim. From this the
city took it's name. The claim is now part of
the Old Dominion property. On their way
back to Florence they located the Silver King
mine which became famous as producer Of
silver ore, and maintained it's reputation for
years.
The Globe claim received little attention for
the first few years after the discovery, as the
prospectors in those days were seeking high
grade gold and silver ores, many discoveries
of which followed the stalking of the Globe
claim.
First Camp Founded
About the first camp to be founded here
was by Henry Ramboz, in 1875, at the
foot of Ramboz creek. It was called Ramboz,
after it's founder. The graves Of it's founder
and some of the inhabitants may be seen to-
day about four miles northeast Of Globe For
several years Ramboz was the base from

1884 a Busy Year

During this year the Old Dominion pro-
duced 100 tons Of IS per cent copper ore per
day The McMillen camp was still running
A camp had been established at Ray on Min
eral creek and the Ray Copper company was
erecting a small concentration and remodeling
its furnace. The Fame mine was producing
much rich silver ore. The Silver King mine,
twenty miles southwest of Globe was then in
its zenith and had paid dividends amounting
to $1,375,0O0.
This also was the period Of Indian activity
Records make frequent mention of depreda-
lions committed by the Indians, especially by
the Chiracahuas under Geronimo, upon iso-
lated ranchers and lone prospectors, and al
though Globe itself was never attacked. the
people were threatened and many were the
narrowing experiences they passed through.

people were threatened and many were the
narrowing experiences they passed through.
Placer Mining Period
In 1885 considerable placer mining was car
red on in Pnal creek, south Of Globe, but the
production of gold is said to have been very
small Lost Gulch is also mentioned as pro-
ducing some gold ore at about this time. The
quartz mill at Pioneer on the road to Ray and
Florence was fired by the Indians and burned
to the ground The Old Dominion was closed
down during the spring Of that year, but re-
sumed in August, and IN the following tebru-
airy was sold at auction to William Keyser OF
Baltimore for $13OO0O.
In 1886 the enormous cost OF operation,
combined with the low price of copper I'll
cents), was more than the copper mines could
stand, and by the end Of that year they were
all closed down The total production of the
Old Dominion up until that time is reported
to have been about 100000 pounds in ad-
dition to the less important output of gold
and silver, Of which no record was made. The
smaller properties are credited with a pro-
duction Of about 100000 pounds up until that
time.
in what was known as the Old Dominion Min
ing company. 1t is reported to have pro-
duced 100000 pounds of copper up until
the end of 1893. Another reorganization
CURED in 1895 1t was then that the resent
organization took hold, under the name Of the
Old Dominion Copper Mining & Smelling Co.
In April 1897 the Old Dominion again closed
down. In December 1898, the long expected
railroad into the camp was completed Then
the mine and smelter were again started up.
They have both been operating steadily ever
since-neally twenty years of profit and sue
cess.
The Old Dominion company was organized
in 1904. 1t is securities holding company
only. 1t acquired all the stock of the United
Globe Mines company and 90 per cent OF the
stock Of the Old Dominion Copper Mining
Smelling company. 1t was organized for the
purpose of operating the two companies I'M
der the same management, and at the same
time technically to comply with an injunction
restraining the merger of the two companies
The old Buffalo smelter of the United Globe
mines was abandoned. Great economy has
been effected by operating both mines under
a single management.
