Rumors are persistently current of a
coming move In Amalgamated Copper,
something after the style OF the recent
spectacular proceedings in st. Paul.
There Is one reason why the stock
should not advance at present which is
sometimes lost sight of. Any real
strength and activity would certainly
stimulate renewed speculation on the
curb, and there are plain Indications
that the trading in number Of mining,
stocks there had been carried to lengths
sufficient TO arouse the disapproval of
the banks. There is, therefore, fair rea-
son for suppcsing that Amalgamated
Copper may wait for its move until after
