THE SITUATION IS STRONG
BY w. G. NICHOLAS.

New York, December 30.-The crowning sensation of the week was the rampant speculation in "coppers" Interest center ed largely in the shares of the copper companies owning mines round about Butte, Montana. The mines in this dis trict are now producing at the late of ap- proMmately SS,000000 pounds month, or something like one-half of the entire pro- duction of the United States. Very recent development work In the new low levels Of the Anaconda mine reveals the exis- tence of veins and deposits greater in extent and richer in grade than any yet encountered down to the depth of 2300 feet These discoveries have a direct bearing on the entire Butte district. The geologic and mineral formation in the vast copper bearing area thereabouts have many points in common and it is as- sumed that the fabulous treasure uncov- cred in Anaconda will be found to ex- tend for considerable distance and to un- derlfe many of the adjacent and nearby mines of other companies than the Amal- gamated. which owns majority interest in Anaconda. The rich mines in the Heinze or United Copper group are es- pecially benefited by the great Anaconda strikes. The Heinze mines are second in importance to Amalgamated and are
 
 pounds a month"; an output soon to be increased to 100000 pounds a month. Senator Clarlk's mines are producing at the rate of more than 100000 pounds monthly. The Amalgamated output is in excess of 20,0O0000 pounds a month. The violent speculation in the several Butte mining stocks is accompanied by a revival of talk of a grand consolidation of inter ests in that section. Copper producers are making more money now than ever before and trade conditions justify ex- pectations of at least another year of huge profits. Mines are sold ahead three to six months. The longest time contract being at only moderate concessions from cash prices. Copper production for many years past has regularly increased at about the even rate of 8 per cent per annum. This years increase will be slightly above the average and indica- tions point to still larger increase next year, the high questions and growing demand stimulating the opening up of new mines and resumption of activity in many mines which could not be worked at net profit with the metal under IA or 10 cents per pound.

Bet on the Future.

The merger of New York traction inter- ests is a bet on the continued growth of the city and eapita1lzing of a prob able steady increase in the flood of nickels into the coffers of the transporta- tion companies. Not less than 100000 peo- pie contribute to the revenues of the traction lines and in a few years the number will be away above 5,000 GOO. From this view point the creation of $100.000 ,000 more or less of new securities in con nection with the merger may represent something decidedly more substantial than water into an already stupendous capitalization. The manufacture of a big batch of new stock for sop to Metropo- Titan stockholders was absolutely neces- sary. It was the only way the deal could be carried through without fight with stockholders who might object to a re- ducton in their guaranteed dividend from per cent to per cen, basis. The new stock will have an actual selling value and the new 5 per cent guarantee is with out a doubt very much sounder than the per cent guarantee. The deal is a mas terpiece of high finance.

Sugar Trust "Melon."

The sugar trust is the happy beneficiary of an increment which has been accumu- lating for several years and which is seen to take the form of a melon" for cutting and distribution among the stock holders. Besides having about $25, ,0000 00O in cash in the treasury, which is called its working capital, but which Is loaned in the street most of the time, the trust has profited immensely by the increase in the value of Hawaiian and Cuban lands and other investments made short ly after the Spanish-American war Vast tracts of sugar lands bought for a few dollars an acre have increased in value ten fold and there is said to be something like S50.000.000 ready for distribution to shareholders either in the way of script dividend or an issue of stock. The melon may not be cut. however until 1t ds too late for Congress to do any thing to lessen the joy of the apportion- ment. Evidence of too much prosperity might incite pernicious activity in Con gress.

 Philadelphia street car lines. Chicago had
 probably the worst street railroads of
 any large city in the country. MT. Yerkes conceived the idea that Chicago was
 as ripe a field for that kind of exploita-
 ton as Philadelphia He secured from controlling interests in the Westsfde and Northside system an option of their stock at what then appeared to be ex- travagant figures but which afterward looked very cheap. With just about enough money with him to pay his rail-
 road fare he took his options to Phil adelpha and laid them before Messrs. Widener and Ellzins. They immediately joined with MT. Yerkes and secured the properties. The Northside street car lines were owned by an old German named Jacob Rehm, one time chief of police of Chicago. His price was $1,000,000. He refused to take a certified check for the amount and MT. Yerkes was obliged to load a dray with that sum in gold which I he personally delivered to MT. Rehm at the street car offices. YerlSes and hls as- SOcldteS are supposed 10 nave cleared

Chicaqo Gas.

The break of nearly 10 points in Chi cago gave rise to industrious rumor of a falling out between Anthony Brady, the gas magnate. and James R. Keene. Neither of the gentlemen took the trou- ble to deny the story and the street in- clines to believe it had a basis. MT. keene for a long time entertained a kindly feeling for Chicago gas and took occa- sion to acquaint himself somewhat with the inner workings of the property, its earning capacity, etc. The more he looked into it the better he liked 1t and he is understood to have had invested considerable money in the stock both for speculative and investment account Just before the break and after the insiders must have decided to cut the dividend from per cent to 5 per cent the street was full of bull tips. The talent was badly stung on the 10 cent drop which followed the announcement of the dvi- dend cut The street had it that Mir.

Indifference Marked.

One of the most remarkable features of the big bull movement in American stocks which has been going on for three months is the calm indifference to every kind of unfavorable news. Tight money flurries cause only momentary price reactions. the certainty of congressional agitation for radical amendments to national railroad laws inspires investment stubbornness rather than alarm and political compli- cations in the old world hardly produce a ripple on American sentiment. The spectacle of the second greatest nation on earth in the agony of prolonged death struggle would under ordinary cir cumstances be directly reflected here, but the American situation has been almost unmoved. Explanations offered to &C., count for this singular state of things do not explain. The Russian revolution. while it may not be immediately success full in an attack upon the foundations of the government and upon tho integrity of it's obligations, is having most serious effect on the market value of Russian bonds and has made almost unstable thousands of millions of these securities. Great Britain and Continental Europe arc loaded to the guards with Russian bonds. Banks and investors in Great Britain. Germany. Belgium and Holland have been filled up during the last two years with large quantities of American stocks and bonds It would seem that the for eign holders of our securities would feel moved to convert a portion at least of their holdings into cash. Under less try ing conditions they have pursued this policy many times in the past yet on this occasion they seem to be sitting tight on their Americans, although prices have advanced temptngly. Students of the international markets say that foreign holdings of American stocks and bonds are larger now than at any time in fif- teen years. The investments seem to have been solidly lodged Usually inves- ters of the business class follow the prac- tice of getting rid of securities for which they can find the best and quickest mar ket-that Is when they feel a scare com ing on or deem it prudent to shorten sail and make ready for stormy weather. Developments In the money markets of the old world betoSen a growing sense of uneasiness and it is not too late for a wholesale unloading of Americans upon this market. Thus far we have been sngularly and blessedly free from the discomforts of such a movement

Bought "calIsv In London.

The heavyweight speculators and the plunging contingent in Wall street have bought enormously of calls in Lon don on their favorite stocks in this mar ket They have bought as far ahead as the London privilege dealers would sell. and this sometimes has been into June and July. On the surface this would in dicate faith on the part of the market leaders in prolongation of a stock market boom throughout the full dura- tion of the first half of 1906. It is a favorte trick. however, for cliques and pools and big individual traders on the stock exchange to buy calls in Lon don as the cheapest and most effective way of enlisting outside help in the early stages of manipulative campaigns. Lon don 'privilege dealers make it an al most unvaryinS rule to buy in this mar ket stocks to the extent of one-half the total against which they sell calls Thus whenever MT. Hartman, for in- stance, organizes a bull movement in Union Pacific or Southern Pacific he starts the ball rolling by buying Lon don calls for 5000 shares or 100000 sharaA
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-12-31

London immediately becomes a buyer for 25, GOO or 50000 shares, depending on the extent of MT. Harrimans investment. Word is passed along that London is buying the Hartman stocks and a big sympathetic following is created. The home talent jumps In and takes a great many more stocks and the first thing you know an excited speculative movement is on in these securities. The game has been played so often that there would seem to be danger of it's becoming worn out, but 1t never fails to work if properly manipulated
