Copper stocks sell ON.

It was natural that the sharp rises
which the copper stocks have had In
the last few days should induce traders
to take profits. The losses in yesterday s
trading in that department, however.
were not great and the volume of cop
per shares which changed hands was
small. Fourteen cent copper. with sur
plus stock down to q point below normal,
has brought out a large amount OF
what Is characterized as good" buying
In the coppers In the last few weeks.
Copper producers in general are ex-
tremely optimistic as to the future out
look for their properties. and Wall Street
has not yet given UP the idea that big
merger Of five importantcopper corpor-
ations will be announced within a couple
of months. probably In the early days of

Passenger Earnings Lag.

The history of the transportation in
dustry in the United States shows that
in a general business depression passen-
ger traffic declines follow the shrinkage
in freight movement. while in the period
Of revival freight tonnage RECEIVERS fit
and then passenger traffic picks q.
The present period of readjustment is
no exception. Passenger earnings con-
tinue to decline, while freight loadings
have shown an almost steady increase
for many weeks. Because Of its magni-
tude the Pennsylvania system affords a
good illustration of how railroad reve-
nues are being held up by the larger
movement Of mixed freight which is Off
setting the decline in traffic due to the
coal strike and falling passenger re-
seipts. In May the Pennsylvania s
freight revenues showed an increase OF
$2.7o3,747. whereas. passenger revenues
dropped $1,s06.559. as compared with
May, 1921. For the first five months OF
the current year It's freight revenues in
creased $l.s3l.660. or 2.s per cent.
while passenger receipts fell $s.321.o20,
or 1874 per cent.

Ontario's Dividend.

Railroad authorities in the financial
community are guessing that directors
Of the New York. Ontario & Western
will not take action on it's next dividend
until near the end Of the year. The
usual custom has been to make the dec
laration In the early summer. but last
year action was postponed until October
owing to delays In the settlement OF the
company's claims against the United
States Railroad Administration. Infu-
ences at work this year In the direction
Of delayed action include the coal strike,
which caused an operating deficit In the
hrst half Of the year. and heavy rains
which were responsible for losses In
June. 1t is believed that the company's
board of directors Will wait until the
trend OF earnings In the last half OF the
year is clearly defined before taking up
the dividend question.

Pront T.kins In stock Market.

The substantial rises on the last two
or three fun trading days resulted in
profits which shrewd traders thought 1t
wise to take In yesterdays short ses-
sion. Because of several developments.
especially the perilous financial situation
in Europe. which might make their ap-
pearance over the week end and cause
more or less unsettled condition in the
stock market during the coming week.
It was thought best to even up commit
ments In most cases before the Sunday
recess. There were but few stocks which
stood out yesterday against the general
soft trend. Nevertheless. trading was
small In volume and narrow and the
failure of the days weakness to bring
out any substantial offerings OF stock
was but another indication that during
the weakness Of the last two or three
weeks most good stocks passed into
strong hands.

reached total Of S50,474 tons. compared

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
Easier Money Predicted.

Money market observers are now pre-
dieting easier call money after the 18th
Of the month. They base their asser-
tions on the fact that the course of the
bond market continues upward. indi-
eating confidence in lower money rates
ultimately. 1t Is also pointed out that
by July Is dividend and interest pay
mente will be about completed. More
over, present high rates for call money
are almost certain to attract money from
the interior. In this connection It is
interesting to note that the amount of
rediscounts at tho Federal Reserve
banks has shown great increase re-
Gently, which may or may not reflect
business expansion. In a few weeks re-
discounts by Reserve banks of Govern
ment and commercial paper have
gained %s2.255.0oo. Bankers are not
certain whether the expansion is due to
borrowing bq members for midyear re-
quirements or to increased business.

thousands Of birds TO the tropics

life, and this condition made the ones
surviving gradually work their way
north again as the glaciers receded,
