Indus:rinIs Again sink-copper Reaches New Low Level.
 New York. Oct. 15.-The professional traders in stocks renewed their at- tempt to-day to divorce the movement of the railroad stocks from the depress- ing influences now overhanging the in- dustriaI securities. The effort met with rather less success. even than was the case yesterday. There was more busi-
 ness done during the first hour than at any other time during the day. After the market fell into neglect owing to the evident futility of efforts to attract buying from the railroads. There was no urgent or general liquidation mani fest. but the industrial securities con- tinued to suffer in spots. The reported disruption of the Southern Pig Iron as- sociation. a further slight reduction in the price of Northern Pig Iron and de- cline in the official price of copper were pointed to as concrete evidence of un- favorable trade conditions. This view waswas not frightened by the rather negatively favorable opinion of the Iron Age, which asserts that evidently con- sumption is keeping up much better than would be supposed from the dis couraging reports in circulation" The renewed break in Crueible Steel pre- ferred at Pittsburg, with the official in- timation of possible passing of the div idend. was another unfavorable factor, and the explanation that this might be necessary to, carry the Clarion steel plant, the sale of which to the United States Steel corporation has fallen through, gave an impression of growing friction in the trade. Operators in stocks. also. kept one eye on the pro- ceedings in the shipbuilding hearing all day. t.fIJsISH Some os the weakness of industrials is plainly due to the fact that bankers are throwing them out of collateral for loans, owing to the unready market that now exists for them. Amalgamated Copper shared in the early weakness of this department, and made a new low record. There was an active spec ulation in this stock. on its dividend chances. But the announcement that the regular dividend had been edeclar- ed passed almost unnoitced. The dec- laration of an initial dividend on Read ing second preferred immediately fol- lowing the Amalgamated announcement seemed to have a cumulative effect and there was a sharp scramble among shorts to cover just at the last. Norfolk and Western, Baltimore and Ohio, and Chesapeake and Ohio were exceptional iy heavy in the railroad list, apparently on the report of a reduction in freight rates on soft coal to the seaboard. A rumor that the Gould interests would acGuire the Seaboard Air line possibly had some influence also upon this group. Money continued to work cas- fer, and sterling was inclined to harden the cotton bills in the market being in- sufficient to supply the demand for bills to cover exchange, sold previously.
 The bond market was dull and in- clined to be heavy. Total sales par valle s2OO4.OO0.
 United States bonds were unchanged on the last call. '
