SOME FIRMNESS IN COPPER STOCKS More Gold Comes Here Through Canada, but Sterling Goes to Lower Levels Failure of the Steel Corporation's quarterly etatement, excellent as it was, to come up to market anticipa? tions had a discouraging effect upon trading yesterday. For a while after the opening prices were held firm, then distribution in the recently inflated in- : dustrials was not well absorbed and there were some fairly heavy losses in : the war group. Railroads were com? paratively steady and the copper stocks resisted the downward trend of the market. In the last hour selling press? ure was heavy, but covering by the short interest caused a little upturn at the close. In 1'nited States Steel the maximum loss was not more than Pi points, e.nd the close, a shade UUOOI i""1. vas only a point below the nnal figure of Tuesday. In the first hour there wes considerable buying of Steel and it changed hands as high as 16. 1 rade authorities con- | tinue to tell of an increasing demand for steel products that threatens to produce a runaway market. Steel mak? ing pig iron has been bought in large quantity, and in the trade there is ex? pectation that iron prices are at last to get up to reasonably remunerative levels. To the securities market, however, it was'tiot SO much the nctua! condition of the steel industry, now taken a? the criterion of the war order business, thai was of interest, but the question whether industrial protits had been widely overestimated. Publication of the Steel ?'orporation's report seemed to have been taken as n sign for un? doing a number of speculative ventures. Vague talk of peace, while not taken very seriously, added to the uneasiness in the war group. Baldwin Locomotive, Crucible Steel, the automobile stocks and issues of equipment making concerns and inde? pendent steel producers generally were under pressure, with nii-ximum losses of 6 and 7 points or so. The railroads bold tirm longer than the industrials and for the most part failed to make any important losses on the day. Anaconda led the copper stocks, ris? ing at its bept 2 points above the close of the ?lay before to its highest for th? year. Rumors of better dividends in piospect helped Anaconda, but expec? tation of larger export purchasing was the sustaining influence in the copper group. Stoiies of further foreign con? tracts placed this week failed to sus? tain the munition stocks, but the cop? pers had not been inflated as have these issues and hope of an increase in for? eign buying had greater influence. The expected shipment of gold by the British government from Canada came in to the amount of $5.000,000. Ster? ling wa? weaker, getting below 4.61 in the pound for demttid, nearlv a cent under the lowest price of Tuesday. Ex? change on Paris weakened with that on London. Too late to affect the course of the market came reports from Washington that the administration would support legislation to modify the anti-trust laws and allow American manufactur? ers to combine for foreign trade. The ( events of the last year have taught us all something, ami even cur statesmen at Washington are beginning to realize that business prosperity is something that should be consei-ved instead of ; discouraged.

BALKAN AFFAIRS UNSETTLE LONDON War fcoan Declines in Active Dealings Americans Up ? Discounts Firm. London, Oct. 27. The Balkan situa tion was an unsettling factor on the stock exchange. The war loan de? clined a fraction after active dealings, hut Kaffirs were steady and Brazilian rails and Grand Trunk shares were strong features. Mexican rails were flat, as the recent advance was consid- ' ered overdone. Consols were un- | changed at fir?. The new war loan closed 4 lower, at 98%. American securities opened higher and then advanced under the len?i of United States Steel, Canadian Pacific and Krie. The close was firm. The Bank of England boutrht ?7?fl. 000 in bar gold, shipped ?15.">,000 to the United States nnd ?100,000 to the Con? tinert and earmarked ?75,000 for mis? cellaneous purposes. American ex? change .was unsettled, (able transfer? opened at AM and gradual!'.' improved to 4 6t%. Money was plentiful :o-day, but dis? count rutes were inclined to be firmer on the Bank of K.ngland raising th,-> inter? ?t rate on sales of Treasury bill-? over the counter.
