SpecuIatAVe Splrlt nt Low Ehb. New York, Oct 1S.--Specuative spirit
 was at a low ebb in the stock market to-day. The board room traders had increasing difficulty in scalping a frac
 tional profit out of the movement of prices, as their own limited operations were about all there was to the market The market sank at one time nearer to actual stagnation than has been wit messed at the stock exchange for many months past. Had it not been for the stirring of interest in Amalgamated Copper the dullness would have been even more conspicuous. The placing of Amalgamated Copper on an 8 per cent. dividend basis by distribution of st.5O regular dividend and 50 cents extra per share for the quarter has been so conf- dently claimed that that action should seem to leave little room for surprise. The way in which the stock jumped on the announcement, however, indicated surprise on the part of some of the speculative element. The resistance en- countered by the stock on every upward movement for some time past was the basis for some fears that the dividend was not to be increased, in spite of the high pressure of the demand for copper and the extraordinarily profitable prices at which the metal is selling. The back ward action of Amalgamated Copper in face of the profitable condition of the trade and the general belief that the dividend was to be increased has form ed the principal ground for the belief, now prevalent in stock market circles. that the leading financial powers of the country are doing what they can at present to discourage active speculation in stocks, while protecting prices from any serious inroads by supporting measures in the market
 Speculative comment generally as- signs the electiona as the probable period for the termination of this constraint upon the stock market. This attitude is believed to be due largely to the fact that the stock market is made subject to survey and comment in political dis SSSNAOAA All SS way NiiebL liii6l tDdh6 US activity an influence on the campaign. It is also evident that the course of the money market is playing its part in re- straihing stock market activity. Call loans went to 5 per cent early to-day and held well above 1 per cent, thus precluding the idea that yesterdays furry was due only to temporary stock
 market exigencies. The time money
 market gave a still more decisive dem
 onstration of the narrowing of re-
 sources, the amount of funds offering on time loans being markedly less.
 The effect of the 2S point rise in Amalgamated Copper after the dividend
 announcement soon passed, and the
 market closed easy at the reaction.
 Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par
 value, $1,924,00O.
