Other Coppsrs strong.

Tho point Of interest which drew most
attention to tho copper shares was the
fact that after the furry Of selling oc-
casioned by. the reduction of the Ana
conda dividend American Shelters
Utah and the shares OF the other large
companies remained strong and wer.
little affected by the Anaconda reduction.
The buying reflected sold out condition
In the market and the presence OF sub
stantial support which prophecies better
days ahead for the mineral shares Most
brokers consider the renewed interest In
copper a healthy indication. II was
pointed out by one OF the houses that
specializes in these securities that copper
at Is cents is cheap, especially In COM
parison with steel and iron. At any rate,
although the outlook is yet considerably
belonged by uncertainty. the general
opinion prevails that the worst stages
have been passed and that any changes
in the market can only be for the better
This undoubtedly accounts for the hr,r
ness with which the leading company's
shares are held. with the resultant
scramble to cover by shorts. when heavy
selling falls to bring about the results
desired by the shorts.

Anaconda Reduces Dividend.

Tho fly in the ointment. so far as the
copper securities were concerned. was
the announcement at V,idday that d.
rectors of the Anaconda Copper Com
pany had reduced the dividend from a
IS to a - basis. The reduction sur
prised most traders and had them rum
ming around in small circles for a while,
for 1t came directly on the heels OF the
news that $4,000, 900 to 10. 900. 900 pounds
had been taken by domestic consumers.
which Is about the only optimistic in
formation which has been cleaned from
the market since the signing of the
armistice. Anaconda naturally lost its
mornings buoyancy and closed a point
lower after having gained that much
during the morning. Anaconda will
share heavily in the current sales, but
they evidently came too late TO stop the
dividend reduction. The cut was decided
upon with the six months earnings state
ment before the directors and reflects
directly the drop in prices and the de-
creased production. It's dividend rate
has now been cut exactly In half by An
aconda. The current quarterly rate Is
~: three months ago the disbursement
was $3.50 and prior TO that 81.

Activity IN Wilson 4 Co which yes
terday touched 81 q. new high level
for the year and within points OF the
highest figure it has ever touched was
attributed to the rumors in the Street
that the corporations directors have
under consideration plan to put it on a
dividend basis. Their meeting is sched-
uled for the. middle of next month. The
company plans to compete with its larger
and older rivals FOR a part OF the South
American business. and the fact that II
has completed financial arrangements
which will take care OF this, as well as
other operations in this country. has led
TO the reports OF the possibility OF a
dividend soon. The best opinion Is that
II will be placed on a 6 per cent basis.

WASHINGTON COUNTY

Saturday Night

Vermont is over the top in the Victory

this morning that LOG towns in Vermont
had exceeded their quotas, more towns
than had accomplished like result in
any other of the New England states.
The federal reserve banks, however, do
not give credit for. subscriptions until
the first payment is made. All subscrib-
ers are urged to make payments prompt
ly.
Washington county's quota is sl,l42,-
800 and up to noon Saturday her total
subscriptions amounted to S1,l04.S00, or
about $4,000 less than her quota. In
Barre City the amount of subscriptions
up to 8 o'clock Saturday night had
reached Sl05,000, but to-day is expected
to give big boost to the total. One
subscription received to-day was for So

VERMONT LEADS
ALL NEW ENGLAND
Officially Reported as Having Subscribed
Over SO Per Cent of It's Liberty
Loan Quota.

Boston, April 2s.--New England added
sl0,337 900 to its Liberty loan total on
Saturday, the sixth day of the drive, ac
cording to official figures made public
to-day by the Federal Reserve bank.
This made the total for the district $780,
6s5,000, leaving 2s4,3l5,O00 Of the quo
ia TO be raised. To reach the quota, the
committee pointed out, daily average
of nearly S24 100000 must be maintained
during the remaining IL working days
Of the campaign.
Among the states, Vermont had Off
cially reported s4,5l7,000, which was al
NEST 80 per cent of the quota. Unofficial
reports were that Vermont had over
subscribed and the committee looked for
many subscriptions to be officially re-
ported to-day. Connecticut's total of
Sls.95j, 900 represented about 3S per cent
OF the quota and gave that state second
place.

NEW LEAGUE
COVENANT
Complete T ext Does Not
Show Any Changes from
the Summary
PUBLISHED HERE
TWO WEEKS AGO
Document Goes Before the
Plenary Council This
Afternoon

Washington, D. c., April 2s.--Publica-
tion by the state department to-day of
the revised covenant Of the league of ma
tions gave the text Of the document to
the American people several hours in ad-
vance OF its presentation to the peace
conference in plenary session at Paris
The substance of the covenant, including
material changes designed particularly
to meet criticisms in the United States
had been disclosed two weeks ago
through an official summary, but many
members of the Senate, officials and 9TH
er students of the nations foreign rela-
tions had withheld final judgment pend
ing careful analysis OF the complete text.
Apparently these observers found that
the official summary had given a fairly
comprehensive outline Of the document,
especially of the amendments. The new
article specifically exempting information
al engagements and regional understand
ings, such as the Monroe doctrine" had
been quoted verbatim. The summary
also had outlined amendments exempt
ing national domestic questions from the
jurisdiction of the league, providing for
withdrawal of member nations upon two
years notice, leaving it to member states
to decide what armed force, II any, they
will contribute to any force which the
league may determine ii necessary to
enforce its findings, providing that man
datories shall be given only in the states
willing to accept them, and stating def
nitely that armament reduction pro-
grams become effective only when ap-
proved by the states concerned.
By cabled correction upon the text
Of the annex to the covenant received
to-day by the state department, in the
list Of original members the name Of
New South Wales was eliminated and
that OF New Zealand added
