Dome Mines Resumes Dividends

Much surprise was expressed in the
Street yesterday when the Dome
Mines Company, Ltd, a Canadian gold
mining property whose shares are
traded in on the Stock Excnrnge, de-
cared a dividend of % ce It's share.
This is the first dividend s.nos 1917,
when the company paid rs cents to the
stockholders. The year before 50 a
share was disbursed. 1t had generally
been supposed that the company was
still suffering seriously from the sharp
advance in its operating costs, while
its product, gold, remained unchanged
in price, owing to its being used as the
measure of value. The company's prop
erty consists of six parcels Of land in
the township of Tisdale, Ontario, com
prising about ESQ acres. In 1917 mill
ing operations were discontinued for a
time, owing to the inefficiency and
scarcity of labor. The stock sold this
year as low as 1925, while in 1918 it
dropped to 6. The par value is $40.
Yesterday it closed w points up, at
14A, new high for the year.

As to Conner Shares

A prominent Stock Exchange house
says of the copper stocks: THE cop
per stocks in their behavior Of the
last six months, first refusing to bulge
when every other part of the market
was rising, and then refusing to go
down when the rest of the list was
breaking in panicky fashion, have
supplied a conspicuous anomaly. The
accumulation of unsold metal is still
a distressing feature of the copper
market, some estimates putting the
amount at above a normal years pro-
duction. If nothing is going to be
done soon to work Off the big accu-
mulated stock this is certainly a seri
Gus matter, forecasting the passing of
some copper stock dividends that have
been retained until now with the aid
of lot of cash which the producing
companies gathered in during the early
part of the war. One qualifying CON
dition, however, is the small stock Of
copper which most of the consumers
have on hand. One who follows the
statistics of copper quite closely has
expressed the opinion that normally
our consuming interests carry in stock
about 500,000,0O pounds of metal and
that to-day the amount so carried is
probably much less than l00,0O000O
pounds"

Stock Market
Prices Yield on
Adverse RulnOrs
Liquidation Appears in Part
of List; Talk of Further
Action by the Reserve
Board Is Disquieaing

1t was a rumor market. Rumors that
the Federal Reserve Board was about
to issue a statement demanding further
drastic curtailmcnt of credit for specu
lation; that the local Reserve Bank
was to increase discount rates; that
the interests who had sold heavily just
before the recent crash again were
dumping stocks; that the Mexican stu
alton was more serious than reports
indicated-all these and other similar
reports combined to produce selling
movement of considerable proportions.
The result was that security prices
displayed greater weakness than they
had for some days preceding and almost
every stock on the list closed lower
than on Tuesday.
The losses were, naturally enough,
greater in the stocks which had enjoyed
the largest advances in tho recovery
especially depressed, but the steel,
copper, equipment and railroad groups
were almost equally affected. Some Of
the copper shares touched new low
levels on the movement, the pressure
against them being increased when the
price of the metal dropped to 1872
cents pound. Doubtless part Of the
selling of copper shares comes from
professional spectators, who are going
short in expectation of further de-
cline, but there were indications that
the extremely uncertain outlook arising
out Of the precarious export situation
is causing not q little liquidation.
The copper shares seem to be the ex-
ception in this respect. however. for in
other directions the HQuidating move
ment apparently has spent its force,
and prices were up and down, accord
ing as the majority of the professional
spectators shift their positions. The
decline yesterday did not appear to be
based on any particular change in
fundamental conditions. 1t was an un-
exciting performance. Apparently it
is very hard to move prices much in
either direction. An advance of couple
of points in the general level is sut1i-
Gent to bring about substantial selling,
while a similar decline induces buying
This is typical of a trading market.
The general expectation is that the
market will continue to move in this
purposeless fashion through the re
mainder Of the year.
Heavy selling of Liberty bonds CON
tlnued and some new low records were
established.

Sees Big Copper Trade Ahead

The National Conduit and Gable Com
pany. in its current issue of Cooper
Gossip" estimates the current domes-
tic demand for copper at the rate Of
60,000,0 600 to 65,000,000 pounds month
The belief is expressed that an enor-
nous world consumption of copper will
occur in 1920 and 1921, but it is ad-
mtted that present conditions are bad
at is fully realized and generally ad-
mtted," says the publication, that il
will require exceptional activity in do
mestc and foreign demand to give the
market the necessary momentum and
place it on thoroughly strong and
sound foundation. There is the best
of reasons to feel absolutely confident
however, that the lookedfor market
impetus will ultimately convince every:
body that the uses and consumption Of
copper will require huge supplies for
the renewals and betterments that will
be needed"

Still Talking Frozen Credit"

influential bankers who may be SAID
to have their hand on the pulse of the
financial world, at least as far as New
York is concerned, referred again yes
terday to the frozen credit" situation
as being one of the important factors
making for the maintenance of high
money rates. While the resumption
OF a more normal movement of ships
abroad is helping to release goods tied
up during the recent strike, thus free
ing credit used to finance such shin
ments during the period of DELAY. the
situation is by no means entireiv re-
leved, and the effects of the soft coal
strike, so far as that development ties
up manufacturing, enterprises and
freezes credit, are by no means small,
So long as this situation continues i
IS not believed that any important steps
will be taken by the Federal Reserve
paAklng authorities to embarrass the
banks by forcing them to reduce loans
further. That. of course, would not
apply TO stock market loans.

Money Rumors

A we'll defined rumor spread all
through the financial district in the
early afternoon to the effect that the
Federal Reserve Board intended to issue
for publication in the morning papers
Of to-day a broadside calculated to
throw a scare into the spectators in
cotton, farm lands, oil--in fact, into
spectators in all kinds of commodities
Moreover. the rumor had it that the
Federal Reserve Bank Of New York had
already voted to increase its official
rate of discount on commercial paper as
another step toward forcing the banks
TO curtal borrowings at the central in
stitution. This was SO circumstantial
that many traders in stocks took the
cue and unloaded a portion of their
long commitments, while others went
short. After the close it was stated at
the local Reserve Bank that there had
been meeting of the directors, but
that no action had been taken on the
discount rate. There was nothing to
be had there regarding the report of a
statement to come from Washington

DribblinR Liquidation

Dribbling liquidation is apparent in
parts of the market. The failure OF
the recovery to hold undoubtedly has
spectators in the "public" group who
carried their stocks all through the big
smash in hopes of being able to get out
even. Lately, however, some of them
apparently have become discouraged
over the markets action and are let

crease the pressure against stocks,

IMPRISONED SAILOR TO WE'D
Philadelphia Girl Awaits Release of
Navy Man In Mexican Jail

When Harry V. Learnard. one of the
American sailors now being held in
Mazatlan by the Mexican authorities, is
set free. he will return to PHILADELPHIA
to marry Miss Edna Chambers, of 2027
South Colorado street. Miss Chambers,
who lives at the home of her sister,
Mrs. Elizabeth Cahill, is impatiently
awaiting word that the young seaman
has been set at liberty.
Learuard and Harry @. Martin. an
other buejacket from the L. s. $.
Pocomokc, have been detained in Mex
leo since November II.
Miss Chambers is disposed to criticize
the State Department for the long de-
tention Of the sailors in Mexico.
ITS unfair to Harry she said.
"Just think, he and the other sailor
have been in Jail fifty days. Harry
rislled his life in the war. He went
across on troopships four times, and
once his boat came near being hit by a
German submarine. It's wrong for his
country to forsake him after all he has
done.

The bees knees trcmbled, the wise
little ants ia2zcd around and the spider
shook an autcnna with the fly And
the ladybugs s-Oh. Lady Ladybug.
The ballroom of the Academy was
painted and decorated as a sort Of inn

chickens and waving blades Of grass

in the cheer.
In support or the bugs was an army

very good condition this year. The
ladies who weren't butterflies or moths
or a lot Of other bugs that aren't in the

Bright eyed. red Tipped, frolicking
girls, that were beautiful enough to
have come from the Winter Garden in

in whirling, radiant crowd. Gypsies,

cannibal maidens, flashed in bright
SyDcopated array. Their partners were
McxiCans, sailors, conyicts, pirates, art

lines of fancy dress.
The art Of the Academy cropped out
in the special stunts" which the stu

Cleopatra and Ruth St. Denis did their
little turns, while black faced young
artists sang aud danced.
Another distinctly artistic feature Of
the party was the Academy Fling,
which is wild. noisy sort Of rCvel of
pulling. shouting girls and men. They
spun. and fell, and crashed into the

lot of fun. And after it was all over,
