The one striking incident OF the day,
however, and 1t was favorable develop
ment which should legitimately outweigh
all the unfavorable considerations Affect
ing market values that have been men,
toned, was the advance OF the quarterly
dividend rate of the Calumet and Hecla
Mining Company to $40 share as COM
pared with IS a share for the last quarter
and IS a share for the same quarter last
year. This action by the richest and most
conservative copper-producing company
in the country is proof positive of the
changed conditions in the copper mining
industry, and must strengthen the deter
mination Of all the owners Of the Amalga-
mated Copper shares in this market to hold
on to their property despite the prevail
ing depression in the general list OF secure
ties At any other time than the present
the action Of the Calumet and Hecla CON-
pany, as taken to-day. would have resulted
In very marked advance In the price OF
the Amalgamated Copper shares; as 1t was,
the fact. accompanied hy the news of the
great reduction in copper supplies in Europe,
made Amalgamated stock the strongest
security on the Stock Exchange to-day.
