NEW YORK, October 10.-Today's stock
market might be designated as strong, IN
asmuch as practically all of the more
extensive movements in prices, or whlch
there were a number. were toward higher
figures The movements in question were,
however. of a highly spasmodic and more
or less jerky character. with the course
OF the business session. one stock or an
other which had previously been dormant
sprung suddenly into activity and advanced
on very large transactions lnasmuch as
commission houses commonly reported
dearth of orders. it would seem plain that
such evidences of animation as the mar
ket showed resulted from pool or manipu-
lative operations.
The days routine news included the pub
lication OF n large number of earnings state
ments both by railway and other corpora

were highly satisfactory EXHIBITS. Inc I'M

Few Stocks Made Up Transactions.
The political situation came in for the
usual amount of discussion, but could
scarcely be instanced as factor of infiu-

very large proportion of the total transac-

animation in ST. Paul stock was accom-

An expert In the metal trade says that I'M
doubtedly the price of copper metal will
advance still further and intimates that
conditions are such that 25 per cent copper
in the near future need not cause surprise.
He believes that the heavy consumption,
which Is apparently materially in excess
Of the production, will keep the copper mar
ket extremely strong and active for an in
definite period. The intimation comes from
excellent sources that the only considera-
ton that would influence the directors Of
the Amalgamated Copper Company to make
no change In the dividends at the forthcom-
ing period would be the fact that the COM
pany holds options for the purchase of
considerable amounts of securities In other
companies A broker who gives this init
nation says that the board might decide
to exercise these options and use surplus
funds in that way rather than for higher
rate Of dividend. On the basis OF the
metal market and the earnings of the
company, he says. there is no excuse for
not increasing the dividend this fall.

that not less than ten days will be
sufficient. and possibly much longer
His hope of eventually finding a way
out of the difficulties is found in the
spirit manifested by both sides which
he said today is satisfactory. There
are many persons today who openly

particularly imposing collection of
junk on the isthmus, according to n
report sent from Washington, stat

the United States from the French
Panama company is good for nothing
but junk. 1t was understood at the

an absolutely useless condition, hay

been assembled, It covers an area of
80 miles. What disposition is to be
made of it is problem which CON
