"COPPER" SHARES
| SHOW STRENGTH
General List Firm in Spite
Of High Rate on Call
Money.
By BROADAN WALL.

New York. June 3.-With call money
lending as high as Is per cent. and
some loans made but reported unof-
hcially at 16 per cent, the Stock Mar
ket closed with most issues showing
gains today.
The high money rates are intimidat-
ing the clients OF some of the large
commission houses, and accounts are
being liquidated, but spectators and
investors In general are not becoming
alarmed and this accounted for the
strength of the general list in the
face OF high rates demanded by the
bankers for the loan of funds secured
with stock market collateral.
The chief source of strength lies In
the copper shares which were in de-
mand throughout the session at ad-
vances in quoted market prices rang
ing from one to nearly fve points.
The Improvement in these issues was
attributed to reports of betterment In
the demand for copper metal and the
expectation that the price would con-
tinue to advance. The copper shares
have been dormant for many weeks.
owing to the absence of a good in
quiry for the metal.
International Mercantile Marine
was also a bright spot in the gen.
eral list. speculation being heaviest
in the common shares which rose
nearly FIVE points and closed within
fraction of the best figure made
during the day. Dealings in the pre-
ferred stock were relatively unim-
portant.
Governors of the Stock Exchange
voted yesterday to close that insti-
tuition on the Saturday following
the Fourth of July.
Baltimore and onio common stock
continued under pressure owing to
new financing which amounts to
$35. 100000 of ten-year 6 per cent
bonds which have been purchased
by a strong local banking syndi-
cate.
The sharp rise in the call money
rate was attributed by bankers to
the fact that the government had
informed the Federal Reserve Banks
that it would withdraw tomorrow
10 per cent OF the funds IL has on
deposit and that similar withdraw
ais would be made from interior in
stitutions from time to time.
This announcement followed heavy
Withdrawals on the interior banks
on Tuesday. The interior banks in
turn withdrew from the New York
Federal Reserve district banks and
this contributed to the drain on the
money market.
