BOSTON. Nov. 22-Something is going on in
Centennial and Allouez. These stocks are being
accumulated In big blocks and it is rumored that
the Calumet people are the buyers. Osceola had
a good squirt The Boston market is the center
of activity for the whole country at present and
operators expect higher prices all through the
list especially in Centennial and Tecumseh, Os-
ceola, Mohawk. Range and Shannon.
The Boston News Bureau saws: .sThe Shannon
Company is now producing the rate of about
100000 pounds OF copper per month from two
furnaces"
The New York Chronicle says. THE failure TO
increase the Hecla and Calumet quarterly diri-
dend has checked the enthsuiasm to buy Amalgs-
mated. The best opinions in Wall street are that
insiders in Amalgamated don't favor much of a
collapse owing to the inability of the money
market to stand the strain Therefore good an
thorities declare that Amalgamated is being held
back W

considerable wild falk about the showing thar
