WEEKLY MARKET LETTER. 
W. C. LANGLEY & .Co., 
OcEANSIDE HoTeL, MAGNOLIA. 
Members of N. Y. and Boston Stock 
Exchanges :-— 
During the past week the market 
has continued its slow but steady ad- 
vance in spite of some sporadic at- 
tacks by the bear contingent. The 
undertone has been firm throughout 
and recessions in some of the special- 
ties have had no effect on the rest of 
the list. The railroad earnings are 
now being compared with a period a 
year ago when the effects of wage in- 
creases had begun to make themselves 
felt and consequently are making a 
relatively better showing than in pre- 
vious months. While there has been 
a fair amount of equipment orders 
placed, yet the roads still show con- 
siderable reluctance to enter the 
market. ‘This is partly due to the un- 
certaintics of the steel situation and 
the hope of further cuts in prices, and 
partly to a lingering feeling of unrest 
which will probably last until Con- 
gress adjourns. 
The crop news on the whole has 
been favorable in spite of lack of rain 
in certain districts. But the increased 
acreage, ever allowing for the most 
pessimistic prophecies as to condition, 
is sufficient to ensure crops larger 
than were harvested last year with the 
consequent influx of wealth to the 
farming districts and heavy traffic for 
the railroads. ‘This in turn will force 
them to cease their hand to mouth 
policy in buying equipment and 
coupled with the cheapness of money 
will lead to a renewal of business 
activity. This renewal of business 
will again increase railroad traffic and 
earnings; so works the endless chain. 
Among the strongest issues in the 
market were the copper and smelting 
stocks. The metal situation seems 
to have definitely turned for the bet- 
ter. ‘The increased production from 
the porphyry mines has not material- 
ized and many of the best judges be- 
lieve that when business is again nor- 
mal and electrification plans now un- 
der foot are being carried out the 
total available production of the coun- 
try will be taxed to its utmost to keep 
pace with consumption. 
As yet the price of copper has duly 
risen fractionally, consequently there 
is not much profit for any but the 
low cost producers such as Utah cop- 
per, Miami & Tennessee copper. But 
while these would naturally be the 
first to respond to improved condi- 
tions we feel that the greater specula- 
tive opportunity lies in that group of 
stocks whose cost of production is 
relatively high, and whose net profits 
would consequently show a larger 
comparative increase from any im- 
provement in the metal situation. 
Foote Rosk GARDEN, DEVEREUX. 
Devereux, Marblehead, and ‘The 
Foote Rosery are now synonymous. ° 
These rose gardens bring many visit- 
ors to Devereux and one is quite 
amazed at the great variety of roses 
that grow in them. 
As to variety over one thousand 
kinds are represented. All lovers of 
roses should take in the flower show 
at these gardens next Tuesday, Wed- 
nesday and Thursday. The gardens 
are but a few minutes walk from the 
Devereux station or car line. 
Those of our North Shore residents 
who are in need of Cut Glass or 
Silver ware will do well to look over 
the stock that is now being sold 33 
per cent. less than cost at E. F. 
Trask’s, 142: Cabot St., Beverly, Mass. 
After catering to North Shore trade 
for past 20 years he retires from 
business with a record of thousands 
of friends made by square dealing 
with customers.
