The Amalgamated Game.
When the An1algamated Copper company he
gan reducing the price of copper after what
had the appearance OF a series Of bear at
tacks upon the stock of the company, it was
predlcted IN some quarters that the result
would be absorption by the Analgamated Of

City Bonds for Small Investors.
There is some talk of issuing city bonds in
small denominations of SO and multiples
thereof, so to attract investors of small
means. 1t is thought that by this means the
bonds would command a higher premium, and
that, as they are exempt from city taxation
many small investors would be attracted by
a safe security on a per cent basis. At tho
last sale of bonds they realized a premium
that put them on basis of 3.22 per cent.
The new city administration will have to be-
gin issuing bonds to raise money soon after
it goes into power.
