 Copper has been easier with demand for domestic consumption dull and the in- quiry for export showing no improvement. Some of the smaller producers have shaded prices and it is reported that one or two small lots of electrolyttc were sold at 13%c. delivered. More generally speakinEs however, the market has held around l3 bo to I4c, and if anything the tone was rather steadier toward the end of the week. al- though 1t reflected absence 6 selling measure rather than any improvement In the immediate demand.

noRAy N CO.'S IETrER

New York, October 2I-(SpeoiaI J---In our telegraphed market letter of Saturday last we predicted all options would cross 2sc this week, and advised purchases Monday December today sold at 23S4c. We now believe all options will cross 2ic before Tuesday. with possibilities of 25c by the week end. The advance this week does not wholly reflect speculation. In the main it is evidence of precaution the part of mill and trade interests to safeguard themselves in the direction of supplies. Thirty-cent cotton is certain shortly in our opinion. We strongly favor purchases of March, May and July options for impending big advance--J. w. Doran r. (n

By Associated Press


 New York. october 21.--Stook prices opened today with show of strength, but speculative selling and profit taking in some issues and a brisk bidding up of others gave the market decidedly irregu- lar appearance.
 The price movement reflected the play of opposing speculative forces. The week ly mercantile and trade reviews painted an optimistic picture of business conditions. but they had little effect on market prices. High priced stocks continued to set tho pace on the upward swing. Mexican Petroleum crossed 234. the highest price since 1919. but fell back later to 231% & net gain of h the day,
 Reading dropped back slightly below last nights closing figures after establish ing a new high for the year at S4ss Mixed changes took place among other standard rails, trading in which was less active.
 Shipping shares were heavy. National Biscuit. National Lead. Bethlehem Steel A and Allis Chalmers preferred were strong.
 Total sales were 49e 900 shares.
 Interest in the foreign exchange situs- tion centered on the further decline of German marks to 2A cents hundred. French and Belgian remittances reoeded. while sterling and the Scandinavian ex- changes were quietly firm.
 The clearing house statement showed an increase of s126.765,00o in loans, dis. counts and investments and increases of tsS, ,377, GOO in the reserve of members banks in the federal reserve bank, s54,- g76o0 in net demand deposits and S13,- 7Bioo0 in time deposits.
