the dealings did not expand materially.
The chief interest was in the miscel-

Copper Facilities Improved

The situation in the copper market
is discussed as follows in the monthly
review of the National Conduit and
Cable Company:
"Remarkablc frmness and steadily
maintained demand Of huge magnitude
characterize the copper market Direct
and indirect war requirements are .ab-
sorbing the bulk of all the metal pro-
duced. Judging from available data,
recent domestic melting may be esti-
mated at approximately 130,0OO,O 900
pounds a month, or at the rate of $50
100000 pounds annually. The apparent
United States consumption in 1917 was
1876, 6,l63,154 pounds, and that Of 1916
was .429, ,266 pounds. American
capacity to produce copper would prob7
ably be equal to all demands coming
to this market if it were possible to
operate mines and reincries full
handed. A serious shortage OF labor,
however, has been great handicap
to the output Of both crude and refined
copper. The facilities for the ploduc
ton and treatment of copper in this
country were never so great as at pres
ent, and if utilized at full capacity
and at maximum efficiency there should
be no scarcity to complain Of

Cereals

Nheat.-The movement Of wheat
from the farms continues active de-
spite the new permit system in regard
TO shipments. The food admin;stra-
ton IS carrying out its plans OF Great
ing large surplus of wheat at leading
terminal markets. Il is said that about
20 per cent OF the storage facilities Of
lylng wheat and big stocks will be
built up at the lake ports. Millers in
the Southwest have expressed more or
less concern over the fact that such a
large amount of wheat is leaving the
farms so early in the season. They
apparently fear that before the season
is over there will be practically no
wheat on the farms TO draw from and
that supplies will have to be secured
from government elevators, which will
necessitate considerable expense in
the way Of back haul to milling
points. Shipments Of late from the
seaboard have been somewhat larger,
but stocks are still liberal and at
Atlantic ports increased over 400 900
bushels during the last week.
Corn.-Ihe corn market showed a
slightly tirmer tone around the opening
on scattered buying on the theory that
the technical position had been
strengthened during last weeks de-
cline. Subsequently, however, renewed
selling took place and the market broke
over cents from the top and closed
with net losses Of y to - cents.
Receipts were again liberal at Western
points and apparently the movement is
not being seriously interrupted bv the
permit system. There were no new
developments in connection with the
question Of making delivery direct
from the cars in Chicago, but with
the government taking a large percent
age Of the storage facilities of the
country to build up reserves of wheat
1T was believed to be entirely logical
TO expect some important developments
to meet the emergency.

Stocks advanced on the exchange
yesterday, but there was no in
crease in activity. The turnover APP
proXimated 5000 shares, an aver
age of about $4,000 shares per hour.
That fairly represents the present
state of the market. Interest is at
low ebb. Professional spectators
are doing little or nothing because
they are unable to obtain the funds
necessary to finance their opera
tions. The outside public has done
nothing in the market in months.
The principal factor in the market
at the moment is said to be invest
ment absorption of quiet charac-
ter that is making itself felt in the
market for numerous of the repre-
sentative industrials and rails. That
kind Of buying is good for the gen
eral health of the market, but it
does not attract public following
az is often the case with the more
spectacular speculative operations.
We are likely to see quiet market
Of this kind for many weeks to come
Crops are moving to market much
more rapidly than is normally The
I case. High prices are proving q
stimulant with the farmer More
over. in the case of wheat and corn
the fact that the price is fixed and
there is no reason for holding back
lit hopes of better prices later is
! bringing grain to the market with a
/ rush. Arrivals of wheat at Chi
cago last week, for example, were
4.15S,000 bushels, an increase Of s.
601 900 bushels compared with the
corresponding week of 1917. Ar
rivals of corn at the same centre
were 2,S03,o0O, against 100000
bushels a year ago. This rapid
movement toward market Of the va
/ ricus crops is having an interesting
effect on the money market. 1t takes
money to move the crops, and as q
result Of the rapid marketing of the
various agricultural staples the
seasonal strain on the money mar
ket has come earlier than usual this
year. thus adding to the other nu-
merouS burdens of the banks.
The complaint of labor shortage
is heard from all parts of the coun-
try. Basic industries are feeling
the effects more and more seriously
Output in the copper industry is
falling off steadily in many mining
districts. The same complaint is
heard in the steel trade although
wages have been increased approx
mately 100 per cent in the last two
years. The Wells Fargo Nevada
National Bank of San Francisco
says of the situation on the Coast :
"While it is still difficult to fulfil
the demand for labor in the coun-
try. in San FRANCISCO conditions are
somewhat improved; the work or
fight order took u great many men
from non essential industries and
put them in essential occupations.
but it is expected that the new
draft, when hundreds of men from
thirty one to forty-fve are inducted
into the service Of the government,
will again create a shortage in com
mercial, agricultural and industrial
lines that may be seriously felt"

I'll never, never forget them. After
the ceremony they served coffee anC
sandwiches-al we could eat, and al
we wanted to take with JUS. They Ger.
tainly are doing their bit to help the
soldiers. There was some at nearly
every station from the time we started
until we landed here. offering their as
sistance in anyway which they coulc
help US. They will certainly receive
their reward some day We had plenty
to eat on the train furnished by the
government, but nothing tastes so gooC
as something prepared by the hands OF
a good woman.

WHEN will it dawn upon the enemy
that continuing this war is fighting for
a cause already lost; is heading straight
for national suicide; is reaping har-
vest of the hatred he has sown, and
rendering a grave international boycott
more and more inevitable? On the
western front Germany is simply dash
ing itself against an elastic wall. which
it cannot break through. That wall
may stretch or bend under pressure, but
will not break. To capture Calais
might delay, but could not decide the
issue. There will be but one end; and
that is complete victory for the Allies
when the American Army reaches full
power, If not before. American forces
are going across to France in increas-
ing numbers; so that henceforth its
real strength will be felt with increas-
ing intensity.
