Stocks made fur ther improvement today over their succes slve declines of the early days of the week, the rally carrying greater conviction be cause It was accomplished on a small turn over. Traders seemed disposed . to take a less pessimistic view of the labor situation and trrowth regardless of the dry and warm j evidence of support manifested In the for weather, and indications are for a good ajign exchange market served as another re- assuring i actor. Much "literature" and gossip emanating from brokerage and commission houses was of less cautious tenor and no small part of the day s buying was credited to inter ests recently committed to the short side. Marked revival of interest in metals was noted, not only In coppers, for which higher prices for September delivery were quoted, DUt also lor other metals which enter ex tensively into the manufacture of various peace industries. The only stocks to reflect pronounced weakness were Industrial Alcohol, which fell seven- points on the proposed new capital Issue, and Wilson company, which forfeited much of yesterday's large advance. Sales amounted to 785.000 shares. Bonds were irregular on the lower prices made by various speculative rails, liberty ana foreign issues reacting fractionally. Sales, par value, $9,350,000.

HIDE MARKET- VERY WEAK PRICES ARE UNSETTLED AXD DEALERS LOOK "FOR SLUMP. Tanners Throughout Country Have Ceased Buying High-Priced Era Thing of Past. The hide market Is very weak and in an unsettled condition. The principal tanners throughout the country have withdrawn from the market entirely, consequently mar ket conditions are purely nominal and mean nothing. The follownlg Is an extract from the of ficial hide and tallow bulletin: "The sentiment: throughout the entire trade seems to be that lower prices are in evitable, in keeping with the general In fluence to reduce the nigh cost of living and various investigations by the govern ment in an endeavor to find measures to bring this about and some of these investigations are hovering around shoes, etc., and hides and skins are naturally ab sorb! ng a certain amount of this senti ment. There Is an undercurrent of weakness which Is becoming more pronounced as time parses, but as to what hides are worth at this time is mere guess work, as the pack ers themselves are at a loss to know just what to ask, and It is thought that very sharp concessions would have to be granted to start business." No material changes In the paying price are announced by Portland dealers, H. M. Scarritt says in this connection: "Just how long present prices In this territory will be maintained remains to be seen, and while we will continue to pay them just as long as we consistently can. we can see the handwriting on the wall just as plain as a 24-sheet poster, predicting a big slump in prices In the very near future, as present local prices are cents above those being paid In other territories. As we can see no reason for, or any indication of prices reacting, a word, to the wise should be suf ficient and the wide awake, up-to-date butcher who figures with a pencil, in place of with his cleaver, should keep his hides and skins closer sold up, as It Is our pre diction that the highest prices In history which he has been receiving- recently are CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.
