Only Feature
OF the Market
Lack of Public Interest En-
phasized; Fundamental
Conditions Justifying
Definite Swing Awaited

further sharp contraction Of specu-
lasive activity yesterday again empha-
sized the lack of public interest for
Shs time being In the stock market,
Until fundamental conditions Justify a
definite swing upward or downward it
is unlikely that the present period of
dullness will be terminated.
The spectacle OF rising prices, past
experience shows, is the irresistible
lure which woos back outsiders to the
Stock Exchange after periodical lapses
OF non-intercourse. The present mar
ket, lacking in meaning, has left the
commission houses virtually bare of
customers, and even members of the
board are less regular in their attend
ance than normally.
The present period Of inactivity is
neither unprecedented nor especially
unusual. Students of the technique OF
the market place anticipated an in-be-
tween period in the market, after the
smashing declines late last year and
the quick rebound in the few weeks
following. The steadiness of quota
tions after the recovery has surprised
some observers, and there is an intima-
floor that professional bears are eager
for news development that would
make possible another raid.
The market is at present impervious
to relatively unimportant news devel-
opments which in normal times would
mottvate price swings. after reac-
tionary movement in the forenoon
stock prices moved upward in the after
noon, and the net result Of the days
trading was slight gain. The an
nouncement that the United States
Railroad Board had rejected the ap-
peal of the Association of Railway Ex-
ecutives for an immediate abrogation
Of the present railroad wage arrange
nents failed to cause any substantial
selling Of railroad stocks.
The statement of untitled orders of
the Steel Corporation was in accord
ance with Wall Street estimates, and,
despite the fact that the monthly an
nouncement revealed the sixth con-
secutive monthly decline in untitled or
ders, measuring recession in this basic
industry, Steel common and several of
the other steel stocks closed with mod
crate gains. The statement was not
unfavorable from market standpoint,
because it brought out no facts about
the industry which had not already
been grasped by students of business
developments.
Movements in the foreign exchange
market were narrow, sterling was firm
and Scandinavian currencies strong

similar influences, gained y to IL

Inn W all Street
The Copper Stocks

Formal announcement Of the plans Of
producers and bankers for financing
the sale abroad Of 40o,00o,Oo0 pounds
Of copper had beneficial effect on the
copper stocks yesterday, despite the
fact that the important features Of the
plan were already known to the Street.
In working out their foreign sales pro-
gram it is understood that the Copper
Export Association acting for its mem
bers, will not require payment of the
copper sold to foreign consumers un-
til the latter have in turn sold their
products, in which the copper is used
to their own customers. The success
of the plan was assured yesterday when
IL became known that there was an ac-
tive demand for the $40,000,000 deben-
lures issued against che copper and
that the indications were all the bonds
would be sold by the close Of business
to-day.

and the stock easily featured the
days market. Opening at 3712, the up
ward movement in the last hour car
ried the price up to 41B. Practically
ali the rise was held at the close, where
the stock showed a net gain OF 37g
points. Ever since California Petro-
leum directors paid off all the back
dividend on the preferred stock there
has been talk that payments would be
started on the common. This gossip
Is now becoming more definite. as it is
said that the company's earnings would
warrant distribution at the rate of 81
a share. The company, it is stated, is
now producing more than 10000 bar
rels of oil a day.

Germaay's Copper Consumption

German consumption of copper is
steadily increasing despite the high
cost and preparations made during the
war for the use of substitutes on a
considerable scale, according to The
Engineering and Mining Journal. AIN
the electrical industry" writes its for
eign correspondent from Berlin, Sub
stitute materials have almost disap-
peared, and in other industries, too,
the process of Substituting the sub
stitute by the real thing is Progressing
apace. BY far the most important fact
for the unanticipated increase of cop
per consumption is the enormous in
crease in cost of labor. This fact Is
especially noticeable in the making of
smaller parts requiring many opera

The Dollar i'm Foreign Exchange

Strength of Scandinavian exchange
was the feature of trading yesterday,
Norwegian demand rates advancing
strongly to 1907 cents, as compared
with 17.75 cents Wednesday. The i'm
proved tone for Norwegian crowns was
reflected in smaller advances in ex-
change on Denmark and Sweden.
Dutch exchange at the same time was
weaker, and it was said that Continen-
tai interests were selling this to buy
Scandinavian. Rates on Continental
centers were fairly steady all day, but
most of the strength was displayed in
the forenoon. Sterling demand was up
more than a cent ct one time and
showed net gain at the end of the day
of more than half a cent. French francs
and German marks were unchanged,
while lire were slightly easier Greek
drachmae were slightly higher.
Canadian exchange was easier, the
premium on New York funds in Mon
treal advancing to $135 per 81 900, as
against $131,25 the previous day.

IL S. Health Man Here.

Captain E. w. White, of the Seattle
headquarters of the United States
Public Health department, arrived in
Moscow Friday afternoon with view
to establishing headquarters for a
part of the force here. He will prob
ably take rooms in the Urquhart build
ing, on Third street and open head
quarters here as soon as he gets per-
mission to move his furniture and
equipment from Seattle, which he
hopes will be soon. Captain White
will have with him two assistants, to
begin and the force will be enlarged if
necessary to care for the work. The
department is looking after the public
health and especially that of the vet
Grams. Moscow will be headquarters
for northern Idaho and eastern Wash

AMERICAN CANNED
GOODS ARE POPULAR
FRENCH WOMEN ENJOYING PRI-
VILEGE OF BUYING PREPARED
ARMY FOOD IN CANS.

Parsley A. P.)-The vast
stock of canned foods left in France
by the American army and now being
sold to the public is proving boom
to the French housewife.
She is now able to go to her usual
grocery store and buy canned goods
really canned in America, and con-
tanning labels in real Enghsh-at a
price which is sometimes so per
cent cheaper than the same variety
of food canned by the French.
String beans, salmon, tuna fish,
corned beef, potted ham, combina-
tions vegetables and meat of va
rious kinds and many others are now
obtainable from the stock of things
the American army left behind and
sold to the French government.
Many of these things, pork and
beans, for instance, were virtually
unknown to the French until the
American army came to France. All
are products of the best known
American packers and it is striking
that the average French housewife
says American canning methods are
better than the French.

cow PEOPLE OF THE BEAU
TIES OF THE STATE

The addresses given at Eggan's hall
Thursday evening by Rev. Frederick
Vining Fisher, and President A. H
Upham, were inspiring and inter
esting.
The only pity was that so few were
out to hear these interesting discus
sions, echoes as it were, from the
session of Northern idaho Chamber of
Commerce meeting held at Occur
d'Alene last week. on matters of so
much interest and importance to the
Idaho.
G. A. Hagan was chairman of the
meeting He first introduced DIR.
Fisher of Boise, whose address was
eloquent. He spoke briefly Of the
great highway convention to be held
in Portland in 1925. He spoke of the
needs of Idaho, of our advantages, of
our miles and miles OF beautiful seem
cry, how the scenes shift into new
beauties, each seeming to have reach
ed the climax of splendor. He told
of our fields of waving grain, of the
wonderful products, of fruits and
vegetables. He told of how little we
of Idaho, really know Idaho We
should know more of Idaho and
should let the world know more. Our
Os
rivers, should be thrown upon the
screen He outlined plan of work
telling how it could be done. His
remarks remind one of the Ingenious
ly wrought plans of some mighty
structure.
President Upham was the next
speaker. He told how he was just
beginning to discover idaho. He told
how little the people of the states
knew of Idaho, how far away many
people of one part of the state felt
from Moscow. He told how the past
six weeks he had travelled through
three states to make a tour of idaho,
the need OF an Idaho highway, how
the arid plains drrigated) were sing
ing songs of redemption. He urged
us to become better acquainted with
Idaho.
Following DR.. Upham, H. o. Barb

emphasis on what had been said,
urging Moscow to do her part in this
great task The next to speak was
