CURB TAKES ADROP
AFTER RISING EARLY
Prominent Shares Awaken
From Lethargy Near the
End and Reel Forward.

After strong opening prices for curb
securities moved to lower levels on profit
taking and an attack by the short inter-
ests. Trading following the early ad-
vance was quiet and little interest was
SHOWN after the low levels were reached
except shortly before the close, when
several prominent shares advanced
somewhat from the bottom prices The
war stocks were the most active, with
fractional losses recorded In Submarine
Boat and Wright-Martin Aircraft. Cur
hss Aeroplane was firm and improved

Bethlehem Steel preferred "when is

COPPER'S NEW PRICE
PLEASES PRODUCERS
John D. Ryan Says Govern
mcnt's Figure Is Fair to
Mine Owners and Public.
ENCOURAGES BIG OUTPUT
Charles Hayden Satisfied, but
Says Excess Profits Tax
Has a "Stinger."

Large copper producers were gratifed
yesterday with the price OF 23h cents q
pound fixed by the Government for cop
per. In most quarters 22 " cents had
been expected.
John d. Ryan. president Of the Ana
conda Copper Mining Company and
chairman of the copper committee repre-
setting the producers, said:
Producers are satisfied with the fig-
ure fxed. ! believe II is good for the
producers and the country. The price
10 also high enough to encourage the
maintenance Of the present rate Of out
put. In addition to being fair to the
large producers 1t is satisfactory to the
smaller ones.
THE agreement to sell copper at 23h
cents pound goes into effect at once.
This will eliminate the premium now
being paid on spot copper, as everybody
will get the metal at the figure named
BY the Government"
Charles Hayden. an officer and direc-
tor Of several OF the largo porphyry
copper companies and a member Of the
banking firm Of Hayden, Stone & Co,
believed the price was fair. but rela-
lively unimportant from the copper
stockholders standpoint in view Of the
excess profits tax. He said:
"The important thing to owners of
copper shares is that the major portion
Of profits In excess Of 8 per cent, on
their capital stock and surplus must
20 to the United States Government.
That provision In the bill using earnings
for 1911. 1912 and 1913 as a basis to
compute the excess profits to be taxed
by the Government might as well not
be there SO far as the copper companies
are concerned. owing to that stinger
which states that the earnings on which
exemption Is granted must not exceed
8 per cent
"In framing the bill no consideration
was given to the fact that often much
money is lost In trying to locate q real
mine before paying proposition Is en-
countered. II losses suffered in bad
prospects are not taken into account and
I'll profits above s per cent. are taxed
on paying propositions the incentive to
locate rev mines Is practically killed"
Proc ucers said they were surprised
at the provision which necessitates sale
at the same price to the Allies and
private consumers.

UNCERTAINTY STILL
HALTING BUSINESS
Confidence in Future Not
Lacking-Lab0r Troubles
Act as Deterrents.

Uncertainty as to the future continues
to hold back active business, according
10 the reviews OF the weeks trade to be
published to-day by two business report
ing agencies.
Brddstrect's says: 'xVhile cross
currents born Of uncertainties re-
garding the effects OF Governmental
price fixing, ecoromizing by con-
sumers and widespread labor troubles
run through the general situation, the
broad swing of trade Is in tho direction
OF further expansion. House trade in
the standard staples has increased. dis
rA6ut!on by retail dealers IL better.
buying Of holiday goods 10 already
noted. news respecting the remaining
unharvested crops Is favorable, money
is in active demand, collections range
from fair to good and industry IL brisk,
plies OF labor and limited deliveries Of
raw materials.
On the other hand. the labor stua-
ton Is dsconcerting. strikes are numer-
Gus, especially on the Pacific coast !; the
draft has made further inroads on the
supply OF help and wages keep on rising.
incidentally readjustments to q war
basis continue to shift activities from
eome lines to military pursuits, and in
general way there Is less disposition
70 anticipate far future requirements,
the theory being that prices have ad-
vanced to point that renders 1t Inn
prudent TO load up; and. moreover. It 10
thought that by buying enough for the
season that Is in sight recessions may
be supernduced."
Duns RepieU says: "The gain In
business with the advancing 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 Is some actual recession,
" is plainly due more to uncertainty
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 moro or less
ciouded, and the tendency to act with
caution In anticipating forward wants
srows In many quarters. But while the
present policy OF conservative purchas-
ing, and more largely for immediate and
certain 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
