[ RAILS FEATURED ! THE STOCK MARKET; Due to the "Widespread movement to ; Vast I*egality of tie Ada.ru aou law ; ? Copper "Up. NEW YOFJC. Nov. 15 ? There were no j material changes m today's broad and active market from those of the pre ceding session. Halls were again tinder repression in consequence of the wide spread movement of the transportation companies to test the legality of the , eight-hour law. while Issues of most; other descriptions were mainly higher.) h few registering gains of almost sensa- ? tional proportions. .Dealings during the forenoon were at- j tended by alternate advances and de- \ clines. local selling being partly offset! by interior buying. Some stocks were, strong from the outset, notably the in- ; dependent steel issues .which derived j much of their support from the advance in the price of steel rails, a step inaugu rated by the t'nited States Steel Corpo ration. Coppers and allied metals ascended to highest quotations in the afternoon on: reports that contracts at 33 cents per j pound had been closed for 1917 delivery, j United States Steel followed its recent \ course .manifesting hesitation at thej outset, but rising briskly with American , Smelting in the heavy turnover of the ; last hour, steel making an extreme rise j of a fraction. Total sales amounted to 1.3S3.00Q , shares. Bonds were irregular. Total sales (parj value) aggregated $5,200,000. CI?OSING STOCK IETTIB. ?- t?y private wire to Fidelity Investment Association from Harris. \Vin throp & Co.) NfclW YORK. Nov. 13. ? The market was active enough today but aside from Smelters. Marine preferred. Miami and a few specialties, the advances were small. Steel appeared to be supplies freely above 123. Newspaper talk of a pool iti spot eopper caused some trad ers to take profits :n this group, as the cornm.-ni was unfavorable to such action. \\'*i do not believe there is one or that one is contemplated. The demand is alreauy greater than tho supply. If the market advances the coppers should be next to 41* dollars pe ron but this had evidently be- n discontinued. We still believe that by ating a little stocks can t>e purchased cheaper than at present prices. The Marines and Smelters seem to be t tie only r-aily strong cards in the market. The balance of the list is steady but shows signs of son:-? feeding out of stocks especially in Steel and the Coppers. 1 John Dow sa\s: Anaconda Copper is. producing at rate ?-t' pounds I copper annually :m<i it is estimated I that inctiid:iii; income from Inspiration. | Greene ?'ananea and its Zinc properties it is ??arntng elnsc to $:;n ??. share an nually. t ?n basis ? present copper prices its earnings would be at a much higher ru'e. ? ?; i - . j ... r- for d-ivery :i last ! half n.-.xt y.ar .is b--inic sold at much; hgh>T I--v?-l that: prvs.nt price average [ at which deliveries art? b. ;rig made and. 1: is be; - ved thrt" earnings in the last i six months of ; :? ! 7 v.- ill at rhe record ; for t he rirst half.

There is sio guard there and never has been one. It is true that the Pomoornt ie National and State Committees have ask- d to have the ballots guarded, but ilmy are being k> i>t in the vault, where they are safe. The ballots have been eanvassed mid are being held pending a recount that hits beeti asked for. The ballots have always been safe heretofore m the Brooke County Court House and are considered so now. It would seem extremely ludicrous to tha people of Brooke County to have a sen tinel posted in the vault keeping his 9y* on t lie ballots ail through the day and night protecting them from some Iro aninery over-zealous political worker.
