THE p SHARES.

-
The weakness in the copper mining
shares has been attributed in Butte to
the dizziness of the market, but
advices received from Boston today are
to the effect that other influences are at
work. Last week a fierce drive was made
at Amalgamated, which had a tendency
to demoralize the copper shares as a
whole. The drive was made by a pool
which worked in a name that indicated
thorough organization. First, Amalga-
mated was sold and offered down to par,
and then n per cent was bid for the right
to put the stock at 80 for 60 days. Later
the same amount was bid to put 1000
Amalgamated at Is for 80 days.
The motive of this pool was thought
by some to indicate the presence of a
short interest in the coppers, n hat the
bears hoped to break the entire list by
raiding Amalgamated. 1t is not gener-
ally believed that there is a large short
interest in the coppers. Again, the posi-
bility that A~malgamated will go to either
rs or 80 is altogether too remote to be
worth the amount bid for the privilege
of putting it there. Later n per cent
was bid to call Amalgamated at $50 for
60 days. The feeling toward the coppers,
as a whole, and toward Amalgamated in
particular, is decidedly bullish. During
the past ten days other coppers have
been stronger and eak in proportion
with the big combination stock. This
fact seems to signify that when the boom
in the coppers comes it will extend way
across the board.
Local traders in Boston do not believe
that this is the midsummer dullness, and
are bidding ] per cent to call Montana at
$500 for 60 days. 1t is believed that there
will be at least OnemOr e good substan-
tial rally before the vacation season.
