selling IS HEAVY
in STOCK MARKET
Copper, Leather and Rubber
Shares Are Extra Weak.
Tax Talk BeariSh.
by STUART Il. WEST.

Social Dispatch 10 The STAR
NEW YORK, February 25.-It has
IN the experience during the last
80 years that Il rising week end
..arket is apt to he followed by Il
llining price list Monday. This
IS what happened today.
fhc street had Il good deal to say
the less promising outlook for tax
'iuCtion, and il paid still more at
ltion to various unfavorable annual
portS that We're published during
tr day. Selling was not particularly
IVY, but inaSmuCh as the public
ere no longer Interested on the buy
''ss side, the way they Were Il month
., and nasmuch as the professional
o. ament preferred the bear side, the
'..GTkct yielded rather easily.
Copper SEares Thrown Over.
No. group for the last twelve
u.onths or more has been more dis
appointing than the copper stocks.
:, he n metal prices rallied last week
- 1875 cents Il pound, thus bringing
.dcm up cent from the recent low,
. good deal of optimism was en-
rndered, both for tile outlook in the
,rtal market and for the outlook in
,ppcr stocks. The favorable de-
lopmentS affecting German repara-
stons and the foreign exchanges
~nould supposedly have added to this
letter feeling.
But on Saturday came the an
ncuncement that the Calumet and
IIecla--ouc of the biggest copper
producers i'll the country-had passed
rs dividend, the reason being that 1t
nuld not work out an adequate
..rofit margin even with copper 1T 13
cents q pound. This caused heavy
unloading of Anaconda, which con-
Jinued in the market today and was
.ccompanied by Il general decline in
The copper and smelling stocks.
Bad Break i'm Leathcrs.
4 bad break in the Central Leath-
"rS resulted from the publication of
he 1923 figures. which were Il good
."al worse than the street had eN-
nectcd. An Improvement in the
.ourth quarter had been looked for.
instead of which. owing to the mark
.nG down of raw materials to mar
set, there was loss during this
reriod of nearly $4,4o0,0G0. In conse-
luence Il deficit for the year was
.rp"rted Of $1.272, 900. increasing the
!'roft and loss deficit in the balance
sheet to $12,6%..S51.
The new year starts with produc-
ton better curtailed to suit the di-
sIinished export demand and the still
reavy accumulation of war time
stocks. Also both hide and leather
prices nave improved since lne TrSt
If January, but the Central Leather
financial statements, both income ac-
,ount and balance sheet, make after
over three years of depression, 4
pretty sorry showing.
Rubber Stock Turn Weak.
The deficit of over S1IoOooO for
the year in Kelly-SprTngfield opera
tionS was in line with anticipations
Kelly springfield stock was sold
I'D a
Der. Coca Cola was another company
10 make Il disappointing showing. Its
net for the December quarter of
T62S,I55 comparing with s960,14l in
the same period the previous year.
The appearance of these figures was
greeted with sharp marking down of
Coca Cola stock.
The oils went with the rest of the
market, no more or no less than
the average.

good demand, especially the French
dollar bonds. Both the S per cents
and the 7I2. per cents sold at new

for them was the markets response
to the news that the Dawes commits
sion had reSched the conclusion that
Germany could pay the war in
uef1HltS demanded Dv tNe aIlleS.
The commissions finding was in
terpreted here as IL justification of
Frances policy as well as a promise
that the reparations problem would
be solved satisfactorily. Marseilles
per cent bonds also registered a
high price for the year. Japanese 6h
per cent bonds continued active. re
peating their previous high Of a3,
which is half point above the sub
scription price.
Liberty Issues Firm.

were firm. The Treasury will not
attempt any long term financing this
spring. Washington reported. 1t will
sell $5O0,000.000 notes. but such de-
tails as maturity and coupon rate
will not be decided until shortly be-
fore the issue date Of March Is
Public Utility bonds. which have
been coming into high favor, were
another active and strong group. Pub
lie Service of New Jersey general 5s
went to new high for the year.

tions were dull and about unchanged.
