There was also some selling by room
traders on the appearance of a low ba-

STOCK MARKET

New York, June Il Opening: Coppers, tobaccos and oils were the outstanding features at the firm open ing of today's stock morket, equip ments and railroads also making gains Shippings were less conspicu- ous, but displayed strong undertone. Exceptions to the upward trend in- cluded General Motors and Central Leather, both recording nominal re- sessions Dealings were tentative, however, traders awaiting further ad- vices from abroad.
 Noon-Moderate pressure was ex- erted against leaders after the first hour, beginning with Marine pre- ferred, which reacted 21a points. Steels, equipments, motors and oils soon fell to or below yesterdays clos ing quotations and gainsin coppers, Great Northern Ore and railroads were materially reduced. Colorado Fuel was unusually strong, gaining two points. The general bond mar let, notably high grade railroad is- sues,, was distinctly heavy and in- ternational issues were featured by a. one point break in Paris 6s. Liber- ty 3ks sold at 99.60 to 99.68; the first As at 94.90; the second As at 94.64 to 94.SS, and the 4 at 96.76 to 96.9S.

Outstanding among other features in the stock market during the week just ending has been the resistance of- fered when a selling movement was started in connection with the ap- pearance of the German submarine raiders off the American coast. The shock passed quickly, and recoveries promptly followed. Underlying con- fdence in the ultimate victory of the Allies remains undisturbed, notwith- standing temporary advantages or sen |sations produced by the enemy. The market has advanced extensively, re- acted in proportion, and is backing and filling on a trading plane. It is displaying atone that speaks well for the future.
 Crop reports are steadily pointing to bumper grain yields in the United States. The wheat outlook can be de- |scribed in no other terms than excel entI and highly satisfactory. The fa- vorable fundamental condition thus foreshadowed is especially gratifying at this crisis in the history of the country and its Allies. With great yields of wheat, cats and corn this year, the United States can feed with out undue strain those who are fight ing for.it and the cause of civilization. These considerations are influential in the investment community.
 Urgent inquiry is reported for cop per metal. The Government is esti- mated to be demanding about 30 per cent. of the metal output. There is therefore a great damned up demand that will be released with the end o1 the war to add large earnings to the equities already piled up for these raw material concerns The produc' ton of the metal is reported to be in creasing. The porphyry companies declare dividends during the week Ray, Chino and Nevada reduced thei1 rates on account of increasing costs

How Films Keen Warm.

In many ways the Films are very queer people, as is illustrated by the Christian Herald.
 It is during the terribly cold months that the Films revel in the mighty ovens that fill one corner of every kitchen and often loom up large and vastly impressive in the other rooms of Finn home as well. The tops of these monster stoves are perfectly flat, and steps lead up on one side.
 When the weather becomes bitterly cold and bleak, the entire family will take quilts and pillows and, mounting to the top of the big heater, spread down their bedding and sleep very comfortably and contentedly on the hard, hot bricks until morning.
