 The subject lost of it's terrors with the more definite outline but the con tingencies suggested were sufficiently grave to submerge u cheerfulness which had been rising early in the day. The strength of the market owed much to the demand from uncovered shorts and commission houses reported small growth of outside demand.
 Call money was firm in tone and loaned at per cent. partly in connec tion with the furry in the stock mar ket.
 Southern Pacific was amongst the first stocks to break away from the early upward tendency and the reitera- tion of reports that proof of relating had been obtained against the com pany accounted for it's weakness.
 The weakness of the copper stocks was aggravated by the assurance felt that the dividend on -Amalgamated Cop per will be cut at the meeting tomor- row., and expectation over the extent of the cut became more Respondent with the downward course of the stock. The late rally in the market was accompanied by reports that ar engagements had been made to tide over the troubles of the group of cap italists whose affairs had become in- volved and whose contortions are be- lieved to be largely responsible for the recent peculiar operations in the curb market.

 General Weakness. ,l
COPPER STOCKS METEORIC

New York. October 16.-There were a number of stock transformations in the stock market today which proved exceedingly unsettling to the sentiment. The squall which struck the market about o'clock represented a complete reversal of the form of the first hour where there was great feeling of re- lief and growing confidence that the market had righted itself and placed most of it's troubles behind it. When the prices of some of the leading stocks began to break a point at time at about o'clock the most serious ap- preh tensions were felt as to the conse- quences.
 The leading off of stocks on such terms presaged no good to the market and fears that have been current for several days that some trouble was overhanging were revived fh full force. The rumors regarding the trou- ble became more specific and more cen tered today. They were given direc- tion by the events of the last few days in the curb market and the ex- traordinary performances there with United Copper stock. That stock dropped back to IS today, after hay ing been running up and down the scale to as high as 50 for two days past in a series of wild gyrations which betokened unknown conditions Ain the market position. The fact of the existence of a market pool in the stock and published warnings against the transfer of some specified holdings opened the way to the deduction of in- ternal disagreement in the conduct of the pool. Beyond these facts informa- tion was vague, but enough was dis cerned to locate the source of the
