Pear Takes High Rank.

When the soldiers of julius Caesar
introduced the pear tree into Britain.
they unwittingly prepared the way
for one Of the rarest delicacies of the
canning and preserving season. For
although the thorny sprouts of Ro-
man times with their small, hard In
edible fruit gave no promise of what
they might bear when grated en-
ounce and mountain ash, the pear
took quickly to domestication and
won with ease its place in the worlds
orchard. There is no fruit with quite
the same delicate flavor as the pear.
And 1t has distinctive aroma which
no other preserved fruit can supply.
The Bartlett, the variety almost UNI
versally used for canning, has not
only the flavor and aroma Of the
other varieties but 1t Is also firm
enough to hold its shape when packed

 Copper has remained quiet, but steady. A little business for ship ment to England, and Germany was reported early in the week, but more latterly exporters have been practi cally out of the market, owing partly to unfavorable exchange rates. Buy CTS for domestic consumption show no increased interest, evidently op erating only as actual needs develop. Stocks in second hands, however, are small and producers are holding electrolytic at 1924 to lSIk for nearby and future delivery.

The ap- parent consumption of refined new copper in the United States last year is placed at l,054,000, 900 pounds com pared with 914.000 .000 in 1919.

Weekly Financial Review
By Associated Press

New York, July 1e.--Dovelopment g of the week in the financial markets were not lacking in constructive fea- lures. but these were neutralized or offset by industrial conditions which precipitated further inliquidation.
 The statement of the Lackawanna Steel company for the second quEr- ter of the year. disclosing an enor- nous shrinkage of earnings as com pared with the same period of 1920, and further reduction of operations and wages by other steel producers. rendered those issues especially vul. nerable to selling pressure.
 Oils became more unstable because of conditions south of the Rio Grande, but rallied partially on Nub- ilcation of President Harding's state- ment strongly disapproving the pro- posed import taxes in tho tentative tariff schedule.
 Rails, which manifested improve ment during the previous week in connection with. Secretary Mellon's plan to fund their obligations in the remaining months of the year, fell back on reports that the necessary appropriation might fail of legisla- tive enactment
 Enormous sums of money were re- leased from investment sources, but the demand was sufficient to. keep call loans at . to sA per cent. The lower rate also applied to time loans, although slight concessions were made whore Liberty bonds served as collateral.
 Several new corporate offerings, notably tho state of Michigan 20-year 5x per cent bond issue, found a ready market. although subscrip- tions to the French loan promoted several months ago by a country wide syndicate. were still obtainable
 An interesting feature of the inter. national credit situation, aside from the weakness of British and most other European exchanges, was the announcement that powerful German financial groups had instituted nego- tiations here for large loans. Esti- mates of this project range from $50.- 0o0,o00 to $150,000.00o. and the pro- ceeds are to be used primarily for the purchase of grains. cotton and copper.
