 Expert from Rockies Coming
 In 1927, he plans many improve ments for the island; he will build modern feeding houses and pens and other special equipment will be pur- chased. A horse will also be bought and shipped over where old "dobbin" wlli be pressed into service distribut- | ing fox feed to the many feeding houses scattered over the island. A fox specialist from the Rocky Noun tain district will be imported to as sist MT. Collias. The procuring of reliable help has been one of MT. Col lias, greatest handicaps. He said most of the Alaskan help has thus far prov l en inefficient and for that reason has been forced to send Outside for expe- rienced assistance. The average Alas kan, he pointed out, fear to go upon a lonely island, or to a remote district, thinking they might lose their mind from lack of contact with their fel- lowman.
 Eagles Are Destructive.
 This particular mountainous region of Alaska, and especially around the Cook Inlet district, is noted for it's large eagles, Mr. Collias said, and eagles, have proven to be one of the few things which has worked some hardship on the raising of his valu- able fox, for every so often one of the gigantic birds soar down from lofty heights, grasp a pup or full grown fox, and carry them off to it's noun tain nest. This has happeied twice quite recently, he added. Eagles are very destructive and fox farmers must be constantly on the alert for them.
 His trip to Seward at this time was made primarily to seek relief from a sprained back which resulted in over estimating his strength in lifting and working about the island Also for the purpose of prospecting about the bay for a good point to start another fur farm. He contemplates returning to Portlock, near which his island is located, on the steamer Starr In con- clusion, MT. Collias stated, George Sexton, local business man, would act as his agent in the disposing of his fur crop.

That business is better" has been
indicated by a Strengthening of the
copper price so that little, if any, Of
the metal is being sold under IA cents,
and no particular anxiety on the part
of the producers to seel even at that
price The sales being made are for
immediate and July delivery and very
little interest being taken in August

inquiries as far ahead as October.

which have prevailed for such a long

comes from the bulls on the copper

any axe to grind, that the stabilizing
policy of the producers has with it all
understanding with the consumers that
they had just as soon the buying of

out the year.
1t is doubtful if copper will again
be subject to the fluctuations of the
past provided present policies are
maintained. The uses of the metal
have been curtailed by a rapidly fluc-
tuating price which in turn was
caused by buying waves Copper has
not been a stable commodity except
during the past year, when the pro-

maintain fair price for the metal

GRAIN MARKET.
fBy Dispatch A. P. wire)

CHICAGO, June 2S.-With receipts of
new wheat southwest rapidly increas-
ing, and with prospects of continued
heavy marketing, wheat values under
went a material fresh setback today.
For tn efirst time, July delivery of
wheat went to a discount under Sep
tember. Closing quotations on wheat
were unsettled, a c to 2hc net lower,
corn showing Bc to %c gain, oats asc C
to %c off, and provisions unchanged
to 40 cents down.
Arrivals of wheat southwest from
the harvest fields in Kansas and Okla
homa ran up into millions of bushels,
the days receipts at 4 points totaling
alone 2272 cars. Resulting pressure to
sell soon forced July wheat quotations
here we'll below September, notwith-
standing that July commanded as much
of cents a bushel premium last week.
This weakness of the July delivery was
partly. due to the fact that auspicious
weather is favoring the harvest south
west, and partly due also to knowledge
that the influx of wheat in that section
has broken all previous records for
June arrivals.
So plentiful were the available sup
plies of wheat in the southwest today
that liberal quantities were being Of
fered and sold to be shipped to Chicago
before July Is, at the current price
here for July delivery. Meanwhile,
cutting of wheat was reported to be
spreading northward in Nebraska,
while illinois crop prospects were esti-
mated to have improved to the extent
of 3,5O0,00O bushels in excess of gov
ernment June 1 returns. On the other
hand, news of rust developing in Min
nesota was virtually ignored and so
likewise were advices of 100 degree
temperatures both sides of the Cana
dian boundary. About 100000 bushels
of new crop wheat was announced as
having been taken today for export.
Corn advanced owing largely to less
favorable reports concerning the crop
outlook. Demand for oats was lacking
and prices dropped to new low price
record for the season. Provisions were
affected by forecasts of an increased
supply of pigs in the corn belt.

war October last, when production to-
tailed 13S,234 tons. 1t was at this pc
riod of large production that the mar
ket started to slip badly, but the pro-
duction today has been in. view OF
greater consumption end the market
has held strong.
The May production was about 140G
tons in excess of April output, the in
crease coming 900 tons from the United
States mines 900 tons from Chile and
Feru and 500 tons from Belgian Congo
with a decrease from Mexico, Canada
and Europe.
Exports are increasing as business
conditions in Europe are improving.
Geo. L. Walker writes: "The growth of
Europes copper consumption during
the past few years has been more
largely due to orders for electrical
equipment and other copper and brass
products from overseas than is gen.
orally appreciated. The big increase
in Europes home consumption of copS
per is yet to be realized. When this
finally gets started in earnest, Eu-
ropes takings of copper will quickly
! expand so per cent or more.
in far away countries has Droadened
the field for Europe's copper and brass
| to such an extent that It's manufac-
turers should soon be expected to take
twice as much of the metal yearly.
/ This increase in consumption, which
probably will not be much longer de-
layed will cause copper to sell at sat-
isfactory prices again."
1t is obviously true that any higher
price of copper is dependent upon con {
siderably increased foreign buying and
/ it is to the European conditions that
those watching the copper situation
are looking. The mines are still able
to produce about 20 per cent in excess
of the high rate of production at the
present time and we can hardly expect
a material increase in price until this
slack is taken up.

MARKET SLOW
WITH PRICES
STILL HIGHER
Stock market averages:
1tal stock sales 927,1OO shares.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-Stiffer call
money rates, foreshadowing a heavy
demand for funds in connection with
month-end dividend and interest re-
quirements, curtailed activity in the
stock market today, but failed to halt
the upward movement of prices. Trad
ing was coIorless until the final hour
when a last-minute squirt accounted
for most of the days gains. Total
sales fell below a million shares.
In view of the forthcoming mid-year
settlements, the rise in call money to
5 per cent the highest level since the
first of June, was considered a natural
development and i tfailed to dampen
bullish enthusiasm in selected list of
rails and popular industrials. Else
where, however, a more cautious atti-
tude was adopted and the main body
of stocks drifted aimlessly.
The most impressive feature of the
days trading was the sustained invest
ment demand for the rail shares. Buy
ing interest was quickened by another
series of excellent earnings results for
May with the prospect of still further
Improvement with the beginning of the
crop moving season. The price average
of 20 representative issues reached the
highest mark in several years, with in
dividual gains of 1 to IA points re-
corded by Atlantic Coast Line, Atchi-
son, Baltimore and Ohio, New York,
Chicago and ST. Louis; Chesapeake and
Ohio, Chicago and Great western pre-
ferred, Norfolk and Western and Pere
Marquette, several of which recorded
new peaks.
Price movements in the industrial
section lacked uniformity, with the oils
giving the best exhibition of group
strength. Amerada was strengthened
by reports that the company planned
to expand through the acquisition of
other important producers, while gen
eral Petroleum, Union Oil of California
and General Asphalt worked moderate
ly higher.
Narrow fluctuations in the motor
shares reflected existing uncertainty
over the immediate sales outlook. Gen
eral Motors, after marking time most
of the day. spurted ahead at the close
to 1879, net gain of 23s, while sym
pathetic advances of to 4 points took
place in Fisher Body and Dupont.
Speculative operations in most of the
industrials and specialties were on con-
structive side but little progress was
recorded.
Commodity prices generally were
lower. July wheat dropped about 2
cents bushel and the other deliveries
declined slightly. Favorable weather
reports caused recessions of as much
as 13 points in cotton futures. Coffee
and raw sugar also fell back, but sugar
futures held firm.
Trading in foreign exchanges was
extremely dull Demand sterling held
firm at 1856 Aand French francs how
cred around 29O cents. No changes of
Importance took place in other con-
tinental currencies.
In line with the hardening tendency
of call money, time funds were less
freely offered, but the rates. for all
maturities as well as for commercial
paper were unchanged.

Finally l decided 10 play and l made four hits.
 "No. it isn't all vision. You must have q free and easy position at the plate. You must walk into the ball. You must have confidence You must tighten up at the impact of the bat with the ball.
 "Hornsby and other batters who have been hitting good for two or three years have an advantage over the pitchers, The fingers hayen't i the same confidence against such men as against other hitters and often try 10 put too much on the hall. Often they lose their stuff all together and tho balls seem to come mp as in batting practice"
 Despite his declaration that his fame is not all due to keen eyes, examination at the Winner eye clinic of Johns Hopkins hospital
