expectation that Kennecott was to raise
the dividend from S. to Sc at the next
meeting of the board. The main in
f1uence, however, was the steadiness
in the price of the metal in the face
of let-down In demand. For the first
in a long time producers refused to cut
prices to stimulate trade. There was
every indication that the copper in
dustry was definitely headed toward
relative prosperity.
Kennecott Duplicates High.
Kennecott itself duplicated its pre-
vious high for the year as 1t crossed
a rise of one to two points and then
Greene Cananea, Cerro de Pasco and
Calumet and Arizona followed along.
Railroad stocks were inactive, but
there were one or two striking excep-
tions. st. Louis Southwestern was in
urgent demand and rose rapidly, show

sale around current levels. This Is one
road which could initiate dividends on
