RonJ Men Moro Cheerful

Bond men expressed themselves ns
well satisfied with tho conduct of the
market at tho moment as we'll as the
outlook for the next several weeks. It
is regarded ns unlikely that there will
be much now financing undertaken prior
to tho Offering Of Burlington bonds,
although in the face of the baroness
of tho shelves Of dealers it is felt that
issues Of moderate proportions might
easily be offered and we'll placed in the
meantime.
\ great deal NJ interest is being
shown in the Burlington financing. but
the feeling is that the attractivcncSs OF
these bonds and the alternatives pro-
vided in the plan are such as to insure
satisfactory results because the triple
privilege of subscription will, aCcommo-
date nearly every class of investor.
The fact that a long term joint bond
will be obtanablc at AGl., showing n
yield of nearly per cent, is sufficient
in itself to warrant the expectation Of a
libcral participation on the part of in
NCstors the country over.

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

There was food Of favorable news
stimulated activity and strength in the
stock market. many issues moving up
substantially from the lower levels es-
tabliShcd earlier in the week, when call
money rates jumped to per cent and
were maintained at that level with n
scarcer supply of funds than had been
in evidence for some time past.
Many factors contributed toward
stifcning money rates, including the
switching Of accounts at this center.

payments for the new issue of United
states Treasury certificates Of indebt.
cdness. the maturity Of government obi.
cations. etc. all " which tended to
bring about iirmcr tone in both call
and TING funds. The general opinion In
the best hnukng quarters at the close
of the week was that money rates this
week will work easier. and that there
will be tendency toward n fre?r sup.
ply Of funds than for the last several
months. While rates may not case
materially, tho fact that there will be
sufficient funds to mest ordinary de-
mand is q factor Of the highest import

operations and commercial activities

EAchange Position UNCHANGED

In banking circles it was said that
the fundamental exchange position had
undergone little change during the last
several weeks The enforcement Of
sanctions against Germany naturally
has had some unfavorablc effect on con-
tincntal currencies but the improve
ment in lire was thought to have been
due in some measures to the "pegging'
of Italian exchange at u fairly high
value and to reports that a loan would
eventually be foatcd by Italy in this
country in connection with this situa-
tion.
1t will be recalled that there have
been reports from Italian sources from
time to time that such II loan was prob
able. but thus far nothing has trans
plrcd in this connection. Indian cx-
change has been firm. roupccs being
quoted at 21a4, the price being in.
ducured somewhat by the price Of sill

ntirant developments. however. during

Reported Copper Investigation

Discussions about an investigation BY
tho Department of Justice into the
closing 0f various large copper produc.
ing properties have been heard. and
while il is true that some have been
asked for data concerning tho shut
down. II is the firm belief that no Fed
eral inquiry will be made, as the in
, formation and statistics forwarded to
the authorities are said to show con-
, clusively that the leading copper com
panies had no other alternative under
the circumstances.
1t must be borne in mind that the
amount Of copper in its various forms
above ground must be something like
900 900. 900 hounds With such a
large surplus on hand il would have
been suicidal to continue operations, be-
cause the demand for several months has
not been up TO the curtaied output and
the stocks were being added to right
along.
destinations have been made that
there was Colusion among the leaders
toward closing. This is not true. cop
per authorities say. The point is made
that companies controlled by some of
the leading interests have been closed,
while other under practically the same
management are continuing operations
and are not taking any steps at present
TO cease work.
Of course. it is not unusual that
there should be talk of an investigation,
especially as the Federal authorities re-
qrcsted information from the companies
IN the matter. There was no iutlma.
ton from the government. however,
that an inquiry was planned. and it is
the belief that the government author
tics merely wanted to keep posted on
