WEEKLY MARKET LETTER 
W.C. Langley & Co. 
Oceanside Hotel Magnolia 
Members of New York and Boston 
Stock Exchanges: 
In spite of pessimism, in spite of 
labor troubles, and in spite of for- 
eign complications, the market dur- 
ing the past week has been strong, 
at times even buoyant. It begins to 
look as if liquidation had run its 
course, at least temporarily. Many 
serious problems are still unsettled, 
and with the approaching fall elec- 
tions we see little chance of any 
bull movement in the immediate fu- 
ture. But all signs point to a rally 
of several points from the recent 
low level. There is nothing rad- 
ically wrong with general conditions 
excepting the fact that the expec- 
tations of a bumper crop have had 
to be revised. All other matters are 
traceable to the general feeling of 
business and political unrest. Of all 
of these the one whose effects might 
be most embarassing is the labor 
on three of our largest railway sys- 
tems. On the other hand the earn- 
ing statements of roads generally 
are making better showings. Senti- 
mentally this is encouraging, but in 
reality the result was to be expected, 
because by this time a year ago the 
roads had begun to feel the burden 
of increased wages and had not yet 
learned to adjust their expenditures 
to the new conditions. 
The steel trade has kept up re- 
markably well and heavy bookings 
have been reported during the first 
week of this month. The unfilled 
tonnage of orders is expected to 
show a further increase of over 
100,000 tons over last month. In 
view of general conditions this is 
the most hopeful sign we have no- 
ticed. It should soon be followed by 
activity in the equipment stocks. 
American Locomotive has just 
handed down a report showing over 
six per cent earned on the common 
stock, and although part of this 
was the result of orders on hand at 
the beginning of the year, yet the 
stock is selling low enough to be a 
pretty safe purchase. Car Foundry 
we still feel very bullish on and-we 
have given our reasons in a pre- 
vious letter. The outlook for re- 
newal of equipment buying is better 
than it has been for some time. 
Our local market has acted much 
as we suggested it would. Liquida- 
tion of all weak points has placed it 
in a strong technical position and 
already there has been some rally 
from the low point. Calumet & Ari- 
zona and the other.issues such as 
East Butte, Isle Royale and Old Do- 
minion that we recommended to you 
have advanced somewhat but are 
still far below their real value. 
The copper situation is still good 
statistically but the price of the 
metal is off a little. In sympathy 
with the steel business, however, 
there has been a revival of buying, 
been taken for September and Octo- 
ber delivery. Therefore we _ still 
continue to feel that market condi- 
tions, and business conditions taken 
together the copper stocks at the 
present low level are the most at- 
pee speculation on the whole 
Ist. 
HAMILTON-WENHAM. 
The family of See. George von L. 
Meyer, who have been spending Au- 
gust in Maine, returned to Hamilton 
last Friday, in time for the or 
Horse Show. 
Hamilton was the centre of “igi 
North Shore interest on Labor Day 
as the Myopia Hunt club had its an- 
nual horse show. The Hamilton 
horse races were also a_ holiday 
event which interests the permanent 
as well as the summer residents, as 
the racing course goes over the 
Brown estate and part of the polo 
field. The permanent residents also 
had the free privilege of watching 
the horse show, a return courtesy 
since they allow the hunting con- 
tingent free run of their fields when 
the hunting season is in progress. 
Among those entertaining with 
dinners and luncheons during the 
holiday season were the Daniels 
family and Dr. John C. Phillips and 
family. 
Miss Laura Merriam, a member of 
the Mitchell family party from 
Washington, occupying the small 
Meyer cottage at Hamilton, has re-. 
turned from her sojourn at Nan- 
tucket. 
TOPSFIELD. 
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas W. Peirce of 
Topsfield, have been motoring in 
Maine. They stopped at the Kineo 
House, Moosehead Lake, enroute for 
Brassau Lake for a camping trip.
