AVERAGE
GAINS DURING
AUGUST
Standard Statistics Group of
80 Shows 2.1 Point Rise
Despite Decline in Rails
By THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Despite
the downward tendency in rail-
road stocks and bonds, it may
now be said that August ran true
to form in reaching for slightly
higher prices in the stock market.
With one day yet to calculate,
the general average Of the 80
stocks in Standard Statistics
Company's list showed a rise Of
81 points since August first, even
though handicapped by a decline
of 4.6 points in the rails.
Utilities Gain Most
The industrials gained 3 points,
and the utilities Az points in the
period under review.
Conditions in the bond market
were somewhat the reverse. Here
again the railroad bond group
was the biggest handicap, the
average price of ten Statistical"
rail bonds falling off nearly 5
points since August /. The in
dustrials lost 1h points, the
utilities a little less, and the
composite results were recorded
in a drop of "a points.
Measured by the same stand
ards, representative high grade
industrial bonds are now selling
z points under tn! best average
price of the year to date, while
the rails are down IL points and
the utilities only two points un-
der the 1881 high.
The indifference of the stock
market to unfavorable news, and
it's readiness to respond to con.
structive matters in home and
foreign finance were widely com.
mented upon at the weekend.

AFRICA THREAT
To j. s. COPPER

The Katanga copper mines
which David Livingstone found in
the heart of Africa in 1854 were
brought nearly 5000 miles nearer
the world markets this summer by
the completion of the $55, ,000, ZOO
Benguela railway, running direct
ly from the Congo copper mines
to the Atlantic coast.
While Congo copper was thus
becoming more available, the first
copper mines in RhodeSia-just
south of the Congo-were brought
into production, marking the open.
ing of a new African copper field
even richer than the Congo de,
poSits. It is estimated that by
1910 Rhodesian copper production
may approach 100000 tons. Sep
tember Fortune declares:
"Under the threat of immense
low cost production from these
mines, exclusively United States
producers predict that Africa
copper will force the shut down
Of q majority Of United States
copper mines. Such States rs
Arizona, Montana, Nevada and
Utah win have on their hands q
dying industry. and the only
solution they see is a stiff tariff
on copper"
African production presents a
particularly serious problem, For
tune points out, coming at a time
when copper mines in the United
States and South America are
curtailing drastically in the face
of an already demoralized market
with prices at record bottoms un-
der 8 cents q pound.
