The general industrial list moved forward several points once more under the leadership of the steel and copper group. The announcement of an agreement between to joint Mexican-American commission had a cheering effect. Little attention was paid to the report that shipping interests here had information that German U-boats had evaded the entente patrol and were on tiieir way to this side, to prey on enemy boats. - The movements in toe stock market were general. The outstanding features were the steel and copper issues. I. S. Steel moved forward to 12 and the other steel shares made eorr?.sponding gains. Utah copper moved up nearly fH'e points. Anaconda, American Smelting & Refining also made good gains. The paper group was conspicuously strong. American Agricultural Chemical was one of the strong spots, gaining five points or more. The equipment and specialty snares were in good demand. The railroad list was largely neglected, but prices ruled firm. S-orei, Pinal. Army, 15; Navy, 7Yale. 6; Harvard. 3. Third Quarter.
