Most Notable Stock of the
Week On the Curb Was
Greene Cananea The En
tire Market in Good Shape.
(By Frank J. Graf.)
The week just closed has been a
most trying one. and an uncertain
one regarding the un rtainty of the
outcome of the political situation upon
which depends a great deal for the
future of the New York and Boston
copper markets. The first part of
the week there were various reasons
far the dullness of the stock market
as compared with the recent activity
that had been displayed, and trad.r
were holding back awaiting the final
outcome of the Chicago convention
The close of the week would lead one
to believe that the entire election or
rp.thcr nomination had been already
discounted, for it was almost a known
fact that the Taft-Roosevelt faction
would be nominated. The fore part
of the week discounting the nomina
tion soon caused confidence in the
:narki t. and stocks were well bought
and protected, and better prices pre
vailed. At the close, however, the
bear element took the market in hand
Which soon caused stocks to get to
'-- i'v-1 before the opening of the
production was still about 8.000,000
pounds under May of last vear and
13.000,000 pounds under 1906. due
largely- to the continued shut-awu ,n
the Cananea properties and to the
falling off in Butte.
The Bo-ton News ilureau figures
the production of copper In the I'nit
d States. Mexico and Canada for
May at 90,880.300 pounds, compared
