had to relearn it. He had to reacquire
confidence in his weapon, and that
meant that he must become master OF

tiOns. the prediction made some years
ago that American capital amounting
in all to many millions would be in-
vested in South American copper
properties is about to be fulfilled. AL
ready two very rich copper properties,
one in Chile and one in Peru, are
controlled and operated by American
capital. Three or four years ago Dan
iel c Jackling. with few friends,
visited Bolivia with intent to learn by
actual inspection what the copper
prospects in that South American re-
public were. The impression prevailed
United States that the investigation
proved satisfactory and that the
probability was strong that American
capital would be utilized in little
while in developing these. properties
The war came and interfered with
that. Now that peace is at hand Mr..
Ryan as president of the Anaconda
Company and the Guggenheims in
Chill and those who own and operate
the Cerro de Pasco mines in northern
Peru will undoubtedly contribute
greatly to the increase in the output
of copper, for these men recognize
that the world demand for copper is
to be enormous and that the copper
industry and the steel. oil. cotton and
food. constitute FIVE leading industries
upon which the United States can
rely Immediately for continued pros

QUIET MARKET
American Tobacco, United
Cigar Stores, Tobacco Pro-
ducts Make Record.
BY BROADAN WALL.

New York, Jan. S.-Tobacco stocks
led today In d quiet market that was
strong iiE spite OF the fact that the
session lasted only half day. Ad-
journment of the market was in honor
OF the memory OF Col. Roosevelt In
addition to the tobaccos many special
stocks were aggressivcly strong and
particularly a few of the oils, New
York Dock preferred, Chemical Issues,
l.inseed, Distillers, Corn Products. AL
EsChalmers and Associated Drygoods.
The marked improvement was due to
q recurrence of an optimistic feeling
g. general, and to plans on the part
OF special manufacturing companies To
ignore the -epressive influences Of the
bankers and TO go after business.
Advances in tobacco stocks were so
general that the attention of the
financial world was drawn once moro
to the constantly improving condition
OF that industry. While particular
stocks have been popular in this list.
1t has seldom happened that all the
Issues moved as they did today, tol-
lowing consistent strength over an
extended period. An important feature
of this tobacco market is that the
stocks are being taken for investment
In today's movement American To-
bacco made a new high record FOR
the winter, as did also United Cigar
Stores and Tobacco Products. Lag
gett & Myers preferred and American
Sumatra all showed gains.
In the oils, Texas and Pacific Land
Trust certificates made about the
sharpest advance, going up thirty
seven points to a new high record of
go. Texas and Pacific Railroad stock
moved up Sharply.
Distillers Securities was strong Is a
result of the campaign begun by the
distillers to have the proposed Con-
stitutional amendment regarding pro-
hibition declared unconstitutional
Many persons in the financial dis
trict believe that the Rockefellers are
in control of the distillers corporation
and that tnis paradoxicaI move to
prevent an amendment of the Con-
stitution is a clever prohibition move
ment in disguise.
American TObacco's script dividend
sold today at $50. which means that
instead of 20 per cent the stockholders
are getting 30 per cent dividends.
