Speculation, however. received a check
when the revival of the demand for gold
from America and the temperance of

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, December THE head Of
large stock exchange house. who is al
ways conservatively optimistic, when
asked Tor his opinion today regarding the
stock market replied that in his judgment
1t Is high enough for the present. This
seems to be the opinion of practically
every student of the situation in broad
way. On the other hand, practically every
one freely admits that prices of the stand
ard dividend stocks, particularly those of
the RAILROADS.. should be attractive still to
investors, and If the market reacts in the
near future. as 1t Is expected to do it is
believed that the miscellaneous investment
buying in small lots will again become an
important factor in the technical position
of the market.
While 1t Is very generally believed that
conditions in Wall street will continue to
improve. interests in close touch with the
SITUATION throughout the country believe
that there are not few matters to be
serve as a check at least to any undue
enthusiasm regarding the stock market
during the next few months.
1t Is as difficult yet as it has been at any
time during recent weeks to form an
accurate opinion of the trend of business
during the first quarter and perhaps six
months of next year. The reports that
nave been received from important CEN
tiers during the last few days are con-
11ctlng. inaSmuch some of them tell of
the return to full time of men who had
been on reduced hours and of the return
also to employment Of men who have been
laid off altogether. Other reports indicate
a further reduction in the working forces
at important plants and further con-
traction in mercantile lines
Some OF the railroads made sur
prisingly good showing for the month of
November, but it is believed that the large
returns were due to a considerable extent
to the fact that during the latter half of
October and the first half of November
the movement of grain was greatly re-
tarded by the shortage of currency but
that during the last half of November the
movement became abnormally large as the
obtaining Of currency became easier
* X
Those who watched the market closely
yesterday thought that as the urgent COW
ering of short contracts was about over
and that there was very general ten
dency to take profits and only a small
amount Of fresh speculative buying the
market would soon have a substantial re-
action.

Curtailment of Copper OUTPUT.

NEW YORK, December THE d.
rectors of the Amalgamated Copper Com
pany at their meeting held in this city
today voted to continue curtailing the
output of copper from the mines of the
company as near as possible on a parity
with the present basis of consumption
1t also was decided to authorize the oper-
ating officers to either close or continue
in operation such mines and smelters as
they deem best. This latter action was
taken with a view of concentrating the
output at such mines and smelters as
can be most economically operated.

PASSED DIVIDEND EFFECT

NEW YORK, December THE extreme
irresula rity which has been characteristic
of the stock market movement for several
days past was more pronounced than ever
today. The general downward tendency
of the first hour gave place to an aggres-
sive upward movement early in the sec
ond hour. which was broader and more
comprehensive than has yet appeared in
the market, but prices broke again at the
last. There were selling orders distribut-
ed during the grst hour, the source of
which was so concentrated as to give rise
to fears that liquidation was being re-
newed of kind which has been absent
through all the later portions of the rally
in prices. An alternative conjecture was
that the aggressive professional party
which has been leading the weeks specu-
lation had taken profits on the rise and
was turning to the short side of the mar
ket.
The stocks connected with the copper
industry were conspicuous in the depres-
sion. especially American Smelling. The
group was unfavorably affected by the
passing of the dividend on the preferred
stock of the United States Reduction and
Refining Company and by the published
remarks of the president of that company
on the condition of the industry.
Short Interest Dealings.
The market seemed to show the great
effect of the large reduction of the short
interest effected during the week, and the
retirement of which has been an impor-
tant factor in the weeks rise in prices.
The weakness of the copper stocks per-
sisted after the rally in the market and
affected the secondary reaction and the
later irregularity.
The show of strength seemed to be
based on anticipation of the favorable
showing of the bank statement, the pub
LEGATION of which was withheld until after
the market closed, in accordance with a
rule now made permanent
The bank statement confirmed the eX-
pectation, but the closing stock market
was extremely unsettled by the news of
the failure of brokerage house in Pitts
burg.
Loan Contraction Pleased.
The loan contraction shown by the bank
statement was viewed with special salts
faction, as it was effected without dis
turbance in the money market. and as the
liberal loan expansion of the period just
past has been purely of an emergency
character in observance of the time-hon-
ored policy of lending freely in a panic
to solvent borrowers at the market rate
of interest.

attention to the fact that notwithstand-

thus holding the porte responsible for
the delay is regarded in diplomatic
circles here as being very adroit Even
Turkish circles admit that it places
the government in the unenviable light
of seeming to oppose the execution of
the sultan's promises.

Manila, April 22.-Fire destroyed
LOO Nipa houses in the districts of
Singalong, Paco and Bambang, in
Manila, Saturday afternoon. The
American settlements at Ermita and
Malate escaped through the hard work
of the firemen assisted by soldiers
and citizens. The flames, famed by
heavy gale, swept an area of 100
acres clean, within two hours and
destroyed the homes of 100 residents
and 1000 natives. The native refu-
gees are now sheltered in the schools
and other public buildings, while
many are camping in open spaces.
The damage is conservatively esti-
mated at 100000 in gold. No cas-
ualties are reported.
The districts of Singalong, Paco
and Bangbang lie to the east of the
walled city of Manila, and just be-

to 10000 natives made homeless. Ade-
quate relief measures have been
taken. The homeless have been

The shocks, while the most severe ex-

The total damage caused by the
