Professional opinion on the immediate
outlook of the market Is widely mixed.
Most large commission houses sound
warning notes but many of them at the
same time express belief that the end
Of the bull campaign il not in sight.
The miners strike and its probable ef-
fects appear to be the chief factor In
the Immediate situation. ]. S. 5ache

confidcnle in final victory over the strik-
ing and Bolshevist forces, In belief that
the treaty with reservations will be put
through and financial forces released
to build UP a great world trade and In
the mystery of big profits in many in
dustrials as yet unrevealed." Hayden
Stone & Co. point out that In last Au-
gusts break the market experienced sew
eral violent reactions and quick recover
les very similar to those of this week.
Clark. Childs & Co. declare that the
unquestionably favorable point to be con-
sidered In a diagnosis of the market is
the failure of the steel strike. Il. w.

alton appears to be the chief obstacle
to consinuation of the bull movement.

Bank Condition Improves.

The market bankers said yesterday

house weekly statement. has little to fear
this week from the position Of the banks
condition or from a money strinsency. 1t
10 not too much to say that the bank
statement was more favorable than had
been expected, despite the expansion In
loans of $32,5S5,000. The statement of
United States deposit Withdrawals
showed that the banks had to arrange
for the withdrawal Of more than $780,
900. 900 of Federal deposits, against which
no reserve is required In the face of
these payments the reserve of member
banks in the Federal Reserve Bank in
creased sl2.552,310, making the item
si6,547,740. the increase of $4,000. 900
in demand deposits reising the amount
OF reserve required. AS an indication
of easier money conditions during the
coming week 1t was pointed out that the
interest and dividend disbursements
yesterday will be available for reinvest-
ment. and in addition cash holdings will
be increased through the maturity pay
ments. On the other hand, payments
for subscriptions to the successful
s250.000.00 British loan will have to be
made In the near future.

Fair Price for Copper.

Walkers Copper Letter says. 1.-The
recent reduction In the price of copper
from around 22% cents to 81 u cents a
pound clearly was a mistake. 1t led
consumers to believe that the position
of the producers was far weaker than
1t is. A fair price for copper. in view
of prevailing production costs, would
not be less than "a cents. AS compared
with other building materials, copper
still would be cheap at that price. The
metal market is dull not because the
asking price for copper is too high, but
because the constructive operations that
call for it's use are not going forward.
Producers must continue to wait until
Industrial expansion is resumed and
meanwhile the price asked for the metal
should be maintained at a level which
will compensate the mining companies
for drawing upon their ore resources
and operating their plants II the stu
alton were thoroughly understood. 1t is
probable that there would be a heavy
speculative demand for copper at the
prevailing price, as once building is re-
sumed the metal will be certain to sell
freely at considerably higher quotations.
The copper producing companies are in
position financially to carry their
stocks in hand until they can be sold
at remunerative prices"

Mixed Sentiment.

The end of last week found trading
slowly but surely drifting into the steels,
with the campaign which has been on
all of last week to shift speculation
from the dynamite stocks into the more
conservative steels. At the same time
the campaign brought into the limelight
two minor steel issues. which in the
opinion of many Judges of the market
have been selling out of line. They are
Republic Iron and Steel and Sloss-Shef-
field which yesterday registered violent
advances. most of them on short cover
ings when the days news did not turn
the market around. Although the cross
channels Of speculation brought uncer-
tainty and mixed sentiments in many
stocks, the general tone was firm and
the tendency upward. Evidently the
market is paying less attention to the
miners strike than had been antici-
pated. but IL is freely forecast In Wall
Street that 1t will probably be the most
potent factor in the market of the COM
ing week.

nerves of even most courageous bears
Frankly. they find themselves at the
end OF the week considerably at sea.
The market was sold short freely last
week without doubt and is now heavily
underpinned with short interest, but
the factor that disconcerts them the most
Is the attitude of the Street, as a whole,
In taking up first one stock and then
another and giving them wild rides.
This happened last week to such stocks
as Republic, Sloss-Sheffield, Crucible,
General Motors, Retail Stores, Goodcich
and United States Rubber as well as to
several others. There are any number
OF people who believe that there is profit
to be taken on the short side of the
market, but they continue to sit on the
edge and watch it. For short selling
last week was certainly without susie
nance and nourishment.

Railroad Shares.

Despite the fact that they have been
completely overshadowed by the activity

tinued to accumulate friends and there

stantly into stronger hands on all re-
cessions. A large house sent out yes:
terday the following wire on tho rail

Interested In seeing that large necessary
expenditures for the upbuilding of the
railroads are begun at once. These new
railroad funds cannot be attracted from
the investment markets unless the new
railroad legislation to come out OF Con-
gress establishes a sound basis for pub
lie confidence In the ability of our rail-
roads TO make fair profits under good

FOOD RIOTS IN ITALY:
SHOPS LOOTED BY MOBS

Milan, July Disorders over pro-
visions and prices have occurred in
numerous Italian towns. In Genoa
yesterday hooligans broke into shops
and looted them. Some anarchist
youths were~rrested. A large crowd
gathered In the piazza in front of the
police station to which they were
taken, making violent protests and
threatening to storm the building
After time the police came out
armed with revolvers, with which they
opened fire when the crowd refused
to disperse. Several persons were
wounded and two were killed. Order
was not restored until toward evening,
when the municipality ordered a COM
pulsory reduction in prices of nearly
80 per cent in shops in which food was
sold.
In various towns there have been
raids on shops ny the crowds, who
seem to prefer boot shops for their
depredations as though the people had
urgent need of footwear. II is no easy
matter to buy a pair tof boots any
where in Milan. Anarchist and com
munlst elements are active in disor-
ders of this kind, which are greatly
aggravated, however, by general dis
content.

estimates, had increased $50 per cent,
the increase in Italy had been more
than 400 per cent; the increase in
England $50 per cent, and the in
crease in the United States 200 per

For few weeks following the sign
ing OF the armistice prices declined
but started to climb again as soon
as price restrictions were lifted.
French money is of variable value, in
the sense that one never knows from
one day to another what it will buy.
The high wages paid to French work
ers are consumed in buying clothing,
footwear and other necessities and
the working people find it difficult to
maintain themselves.
Though the general strike of work
ers in Italy, England and France call
ed for July 20 is probably mainly
political in its aims, many workers
throughout the country are Selling

test against the high cost of living.

day. was not enough to justify his re-
tanning power and resigned Today
the political situation is not so bright
as then.
Unless matters can be speedily ar
ranged, hotel employees and walters in
cafes and restaurants will go out on

strike on the part of railway workers
and printers, though as yet no split

One of the most serious problems
is that Of rents, in which the in
crease came mere quickly than in
food, and in which the advances have
been comparatively greater In the
beginning the landlords availed them
selves of their chances for increased
returns until they were checked by
moratorium which for a time pro-

own suggestions as to a sound soIu-
ton. That portion of the memoran-
dunn dealing with criticisms of GER

today and is in part as follows:
There is iusistence bv eminent an

I in substantial degree eliminates such
competition.
l believe that the existing railroad
systems should be taken as a basis,
and such consolidation as is desirable
should be built up on that basis.
Pooling of Net Earnings.
Another and much advertised and
discussed method for solving the
problem is, in substance that the in
terstate commerce commission shall
divide the railroads of the country
into territorial or traffic groups and
take the property investment ac-
count or book value of all the rail
roads in each group, and establish
rates for that group sufficient to yield
say E per cent, or some other specified
return, on such investment or book
value of each group.
Undoubtedly this would result in
a much higher yield than the average,
for the efficient roads, and much
lower than the average for the in
efficient Just as has always been the
case in the past.
But it is proposed, as a part of this
plan, that the most efficient roaus
shall be limited to the average, and
their earnings in excess of the average
