Heavy Selling of Conners

The coppers, which until recently
have been more or less immune from
attacks of professional bears, were sub
lcted to heavy selling yesterday and
the declining swing Of prices appar-
entity caught lot of stop loss orders
which had ben put in under the mar
ket IN the hope that the market would
rally before they were reached. Utah
dropped from 81 to 561s in few sales
and then rallied to 59Ss, where a net
loss of 1M points was shown The
weakness in the rest of the COPPER
list was not so pronounced, but it was
noticeable that when selling orders
were hanging over the market there
were few bids to take them up. The
weakness IN the coDDers was hard to
understand, especially in view of the
oelet that, # another war were started
IN Europe with France and England as
participants, a large tonnage of Amer
lcan copper would probably be wanted
Americas Opportunity
In booklet entitled "America's On
portunity" the Mechanics and Metals
National Bank has renewed the cam
palgn that was carried on early in the
year by the Chamber Of Commerce of
the United States and the American
financing of Americas export trade.
lhe bank urges the immediate necessity.
as we'll to our own prosperity as to
that OF Europe, for extensive long term
credits out Of which payments for
American merchandise exports NAV be
made. The United States. among the
nations of the world, is facing the most
interesting phase of its economic life

to It's obligation and opportunity only
as ITS people gain an intelligent under
standing of the problems involved and

meet them" The bank recommends a
more serious consideration than has
thus far been given TO the opportuni

Expect Big Rubber Demand
A report on the general sales and
production situation of the United
States Rubber Company as disclosed bv
convention of branch managers. has
been made by II. E. Sawyer, vice-pres-
ldent, IN which he says, in part:
Reports brought in by more than $50
oi"i'Sh HiaHaseis from every section of
the country give prospects for far
heavier demand for rubber footwear
of all kinds than we have ever had.
Under ordinary circumstances rubber
footwear for a summer or winter sea-
son is made by the United States Rub
Der Company we'll in advance of the
season. This year, however, the unusu-
ally wet weather. with the consequent
heavy demand for waterproof footwear.
made it practically impossible to build
up reserve stocks in our warehouses.
We anticipate that the volume Of bust
ness this year in rubber footwear will
be approximately 40 per cent. in excess
of last wear"

The Tricky Traders

Observers on the floor of the Stock
Exchange reported that several i'm
portant traders who have made big
profits by selling stocks short the last
two weeks bought yesterday and al
most Immediately sold again. This
was done, it was believed, to accel-
crate the downward movement and
make the market appear weaker than
it really was. Trading of this char
acter in the past, remarked the Gus
toner's man of large Broadway
wire house, often marked the end Of
a downward swing of the price pendu-
lum.

All members Of the American Legion

Jr., of the Howard B. Mccall Post,
It was emphasized In the Legion COM
mittee that the adoption of the resolu-
tion should not be construed by other
organizations of veterans as evidencing
an unwillingness to cooperate with
them IN promoting projects in which all
veterans have common interest. Rather
the committee desired that II be def =
nitely understood that the Legion stands
ready to join with other organizations,
but only after the properly constituted
body. Of the Legion has given its ap-
proval. If county committee is or
ganized such committee should deter
mine the Legion's course here; If such
a committee Is not organized, then either
the department commander, or the dis
trict deputy commander who will be
named should, define the Legion's posi-
ton.
William G.. Murdoch, state adjutant,
attending the meeting, declared that
from the reports being received at

in Philadelphia, with proportionate
representation from the posts, will
