NEW YORK. Dec. 19.-It was only nat
uTal, in view OF the recent stock market
career of Amalgamated Copper. that trad
ing should come virtually to a standstill
today, pending the announcement of the
decision of the management upon the
quarterly dividend of the stock.
in this last respect conjecture had
necessarily TO wait upon information, and
rwing TO the late hour at which the di-
spectators were forced to proceed in the
dark practically throughout the business
session.
Third Cut Made.
The only actual news bearing upon the
situation in the trade or in the stock was
the announcement Of a third cut in the
selling prices for copper by the agency
oi the ,,amslgamated Company. An equiva-
lent decline took place in the London
metal market.
ANA alsamated Copper stock was virtu-
ally unaffected by this news, and. in
deed. interest was wholly absorbed in the
question of the dividend. The lack of
definite information in this last regard
did not prevent a fairly animated spec
nlato1 in Amalgamated Copper, and while
The fluctuations in the stock were still
wide. there appeared to be quite a gem
eral disposition to reduce commitments
on the short side, presumably on the
theory that all the unfavorable develop
lnents possible bearing upon the stock
were now matters of general information.
Monopolixed Transactions.
Throughout the Cay the stock tape was
Nfrtaally given over to recording the
transactions in Amalgamated Copper. and
the movements elsewhere in the market
were of small and insignificant extent.
The London market continued strong
under the influence of the expectations
Of an early termination to the South AZ
Ilcan war. and the Kaffir stocks and con-
soils naturally reflected the improving
condition there in material advances.
american stocks were described as strong
also, but little was done here for foreign
account, London operators being unwilling
10 proceed actively on account OF the un-
certainty regarding the Amalgamated
dividend.
In the early dealings a fair degree of
strength was shown by the st. Louis and
San Francisco stocks, and by Erie. Union
Pacific, and St Paul but trading in these
issues subsided with the course OF the
morning. and recessions were noted in
each instance.
- Traction Stocks Heavy.
The local traction stocks were dull and
comparatively heavy. particularly for
Manhattan, and nothing of interest and
significance develored in the dealings in
ihe industrials. Firm features of the
speciality quarter were Tennessee Coal
ana Iron, Peoples Gas. and Pressed Steel
Car. but the movements in those stocks
were unattended by any developments of
particular interest.
