NEW YORK. Dec 3f.-There was con-
siderable activity at the short session
of stock exchange today. nCIwithstano-
ing that it was the eve of convfvial

naturally were centered against Amalga-
mated Copper, but although the price
was depressed 1A per cent from the high
figure in early dealings, it readily recoy-
cred and closed with only a small frac-
tional net loss.
Other stocks carried down over point
included Sugar. United states Steels. 81.
