The Copper situation.

That the real reason that the move
In the copper stocks came to such
sudden end several days ago, almost
as soon as IL got under way, was that
the buying had been overdone. is the
opinion of market observers who know
something about copper as well. That
the copper industry's Improvement war
ranted better prices for the stocks was
affirmed on all sides, but the general
public became so bullish on the cop
pers that they stepped in and bought
and bought and bought. The result
was, as it always is in such a case, a
sluggish market for a while with a
gradual easing of prices. The stua-
ton has~not changed in a single re-
spect since that move started. Never
theless. Utah. Anaconda. Kennecott.
Inspiration and various other copper
stocks are well below the tops estab-
lished on that advance. With copper
at IA cents or Whereabouts few COM
panies cannot make money on present
costs, and leaders in the industry main
tain their very optimistic position for
the long pull in copper. Anou er un-
settling factor of the last week has
been dividend disappointment. Kenne-
colt directors, scheduled to meet on
Tuesday for action. postponed their
meeting a week. Utah directors de-
clared on Thursday only the regular
so cent dividend There should have
been no cause for disappointment in
the Utah action. as the general ex-
pectation that an extra payment would
insiders had declared emphatically be-
fore the meeting that there was little
likelihood of bigger dividend at this

CONDITIONS IMPROVE
Optimism General in Great
Britain, Says Report.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Continued Inn
provement of economic conditions in
England and italy was reported to-day
TO the Commerce Department by its rep
resentatives In those countries.
General optimism in England, espe-
cially in regard to the Governments
financial position. was noted by Com
mercial Attache Tower at London. Since
April !, he reported. British revenues
have exceeded expenditures by about
f24 900, 900. although money is abundant
at low rates of interest and there has
been a general expansion of business on
the Stock Exchange.
Bunker coal shipments to the United
States have been negligible, he declared.
and large contracts for shipments to
Germany have been closed in the last
month.
Unemployment in italy is steadily de-
creasing, according to Commercial At
tache MacLean at Rome, who declared
that labor conditions in that country
were becoming more settled. Living
costs are declining, he stated. weather
conditions are favorable to crops and
state revenues are advancing.

Railway fell about s5.oO0.OOo short of

Transportation reSfollowed the re-

recent advance. On turnover of more
than $4,000 shares New Haven got down
to 29ls, at which 1t closed with a net
loss of 21s points. Losses OF point or
more were suffered by virtually all the
more active low priced rails. while the
standard transportation stocks losses
varied from fractions to Ia points. Rail-
road executives have displayed little
alarm over the talk Of a railroad strike
and the union leaders appeal to Presi-
dent Harding to intervene to stop the
wage cuts being ordered by the Railroad
Labor Board. 1t was recalled that the

BUSINESS RECOVERY
GAINS MOMENTUM
Trade Shows Improvement
Despite Labor Uncertainty.

Business revival is being extended and
retail trade Is better. according to the
weekly reviews Of r. G. Dun & Co. and
Bradstreat's. There has been more con-
fident buying by retailers throughout
the week. especially for future require
ments. and the big industries. such as
the iron and steel and automobile lines,
are more active. Warm weather has
been an aid to retail business. The
trend of commodity prices is upward
new high prices being made By cotton,
print cloths, refined sugar. hogs. beeves
and raw wool.
R~G. Dun & CO. says: Despite new
elements of uncertainty in the labor sit
uation and continued strikes in some in
dus.ries, the business recovery is Being
extended. Abatement of demand in csr-
tain quarters has followed recent large
purchases. but indicates no diminution
OF confidence"
Bradstreet's says 'Midyear sales of
dry goods have been large. Good grow
ing weather following abundant mois-
ture has made for an undoubtedly good
crop prospect. Reflection of better
food crop reports is had in adv,ces on

Sugar stocks were the outstanding
features of yesterdays stock market
Although some OF them broke with the
rest Of the market. their net losses on
the day were far below those OF the
general list and many OF them were
able to close the session with small
gains II cannot be denied that the i'm
pressive showing in the sugar market
with respect to prices has made specu-
lative Wall Street exceedingly optimistic
about the sugar stocks. That there Is
a real scarcity of sugar is affirmed by
leading refners and growers and reports
indicate that there Is little likelihood
OF any surplus stocks coming to hand
soon. In the meantime purchasers have
been bidding against one another and
having the way for sharp increases
which the principal refining interests
have made in prices in the last fort
night.
