Labor Problems Injected.

Labor problems were injected into
the industrial situation by strikes at
copper mines and shipyards. Shippings

perplexing than before. Continuance
Of gold imports from Canada sufiiced
to hold rates on London. and Russian
italian remittances were responsive to
the encouraging advices received from
those countries.
The most constructive and signifi-
cant event of the week, in the opinion
Of banking interests, was the rapid
readjustment of domestic monetary
conditions to a normal basis. Elk

shipments on governments orders are
now being made at the rate Of 400, 600
tons per month, and are likely soon to
be heavily increased.
The Navy Department has awarded
contracts for magazines and store

.:NOTED IN STOCK MARKET
Dealers Curtail Operations While
Awaiting the Schedules of
Federal Taxation.

NEW YORK, July 7.-Waiting on
Washington constituted the chief draw
back of the week in the stock market.
Further delay on the part of the fed
sral authorities in determining sched-
ules of taxation on excess profits and
prices of war supplies accounted mainly
Tor the lower trend of quotations and
the pronounced curtailment of opera
lions.
Revival of public interest in the
market Is regarded as improbable until
these elements of uncertainty have
been removed. Rejection in large part
Of the demands of the railroads for
Increased rates also acted as a deter
rent. Shares of some Of the roads re-
ceded to lowest quotations in many
weeks. while ST. Paul issues shrank to
minimum prices of many years.
