watching the Tickers.

As yesterdays stock market was the
first occasion on which the securities
market has been confronted with any
really enthusiastic news since the new
money restrictions were put into effect,
Wall Street was naturally a little curl
out at the outset as to what might hap
pen. As 1t turned out the market acted
precisely in line as had been expected,
namely. that no matter what the char
acter Of the news was, II would be held
strictly in check in accordance with the
scheme outlined last week by Gov.
Strong of the Federal Reserve Bank to
the president of the Stock Exchange.
Yesterdays market was OF course not
altogether representative in this respect,
IN that there was continued calling OF loans
and some further liquidation to be accom-
plished in certain directions. which would
have unsettled trading on any occasion ;
but nevertheless, the quiet which fol-
lowed the completion of the selling dem
onstrated pretty accurately, according to
many experienced observers, as to what
may be expected to happen on similar
occasions in the future. providing Of
course the money situation continues
to operate against market activities.

OF 26 cents a pound AS only n very
small portion of the total OUTPUT is

competitive factor has been eliminated
almost entirely from the market for this
metal. Leading producers estimate that
from 80 to % per cent. of all the copper
produced and imported Is going into
ammunition. shlpbuilding, motor trucks
and other products for war purposes.
This leaves only to 10 per cent. to be
consumed in building and other work

Foreign Business,

The business being done by brokers Is
extremely small so that they arc
naturally looking ahead with n view to
increasing their sources of revenue. With
this in mind some OF the largest houses
believe London and Paris after the war
should furnish good field for the es-
tablishment of branch offices that
should bring new business. These bro
kers believe that American capital will

The sharp breaks in some of the
specialities is due directly to the fact
that the specialists will not buy ex-
cept when they have orders from other
brokers to do so. Heretofore. the spe-
cialist would take on a line OF stock
for his own account in order to stop
the decline and start a recovery on
which he would sell out. With the new
restrictions on collateral loans, how
ever these brokers refrain from enter
ing the market so that no support ap-
pears except from shorts and wealthy
investors. Wide fluctuations on tho
long side may also be expected, for the
specialist does not consider it good
form to go short In view OF the reg
ulations on short selling. Floor trad
ers have also been so badly whipped
recently that they are scared and hes

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Buyips Power CurtaiIed.

Brokers declared yesterday that except
for the period in 1914 when the Stock
Exchange was closed following the out
break OF the European war there has
not been a time in recent years whom
there was such minimum of buying
powea The reduced purchasing power
Is attributed directly to the restrictions
on loans. which prevent brokers from
undertaking 20 buy for customers except
where the margin Is large and discour-
age professional traders from picking
up stocks on sharp breaks. Because OF
these conditions stocks have had to DO
offered down to a level where they look
attractive to the person who can pay
for them with cash or put up half of
their quoted market value. This also
accounts for the wide fluctuations in
some issues.

Confidence in Coppers.

Those Boston operators who recently
started A revival of interest In the COP
per shares continue optimistic on these
issues notwithstanding the recent break
In the market. Their confidence is based
on belief that the price OF copper is
pointed upward and because of this the
metal stocks are distinctly favorites in
circles that do not
initiate markets. but are quick to take
advantage of any broadening in public
interest that permits a rapid turnover.
As result of continued confidence by
the owners OF the copper shares this
group had suffered but slightly in the

DRAFT CUTS INTO LABOR

A great alteration in the character
Of consumption with the induction Of
large numbers Of men into the military
service is noted by the weekly trade
reviews, which call the predominant
sentiment in business circles one Of
conservatism and caution. The course
of business, they say, is now shaped
almost entirely by the exigencies OF the
war period. Dun's Revie,o will say to-
day in part:
while activities have been accele-
rated by lower temperatures and 4
movement to encourage early holiday
buying. existing regulations and re-
strictions prevent a full mea sure OF re-
| Spouse to seasonal influences in regu.
lar channels. and there is >little pros
pect Of any lessening OF the restraints
on ordinary operations Not only have
the supplies available for strictly com
! mercial uses appreciably diminished in
many quarters, but a still greater de-
pletion Is foreshadowed by the enlarg-
ing demands from Government sources,
and 1t is a somewhat conspicuous fca-
ture that certain classes of merchan-
disc are no longer appearing on the
markets.
u
strange that the volume Of civilian trans
actions does not attain the previous
maximum and that forward purchas-
ing is confined within much closer lin
Its. Yet the change has not resulted
entirely from Inadequate supplies or
inability to have contracts accepted by
leading manufacturers, for consump-
ton has plainly altered in character
with the Induction OF large numbers ot
men into the military service, and there
Is a more noticeable tendency toward
economy in sections where the crops
have proved disappointing.
Conservatism and Caution.
THE predominant sentiment in busi-
ness circles remains one of conserva-
tism and caution, although war work
Is being prosecuted with great Vlgor
and noteworthy production records are
being established. despite the shortage
of labor. While it is expected that the
labor problem will be intensified by
the process Of the new draft, evidence
accumulates that efforts will be made

France goes out to you and to your

Hers was one of the neatest
| speeches / have ever heard. Her
mother heart was just expressing its
/ love and gratitude for or from her
home land to ours, out of mothers
heart directly to the hearts of moth
ers here within our own land. One of
the ladies reached up and shook hands
with her for the rest. In all it was
one of those rare occasions which
serve to unite our countries with bonds
of love that are the very bonds of life
itself For, without help, the life of
France would have been crushed and
our own land would then have known
the heel and the steel of the accursed
Hun, while with our help, the life of
France is spared and the sacrifice of
France has spared US the terror she
has suffered. These things all live
forcibly in ones mind as he witnesses
a striking incident like the greeting

Red Cross ladies to a noble mother
of France.
