 Dullness prevailed in New York market and price changes we're only fractional Boston continued dull with transactions very light. Daly West sold down to $1150, presumably on a reduction in dividend. Greene Cananea held steady around $9.5O and it looks as if good support is being extended at that figure Superior & Pittsburg is not being pressed for sale and the stock looks like doing better. The market for Calumet & Arizona is narrow with fluctuations unimportant. Good buying of Black Mountain advanced stock half a point. Rumors of sales of copper metal at 15 cents are still ] circulation but cannot be confirmed. indications point to a slow market for some time to come, but we are inclined to think purchases of the good coppers on recessions will return good profits. Scarcity of buy ing orders is the only feature to the Bisbee curb stocks. Orders to sell at market failed to connect. These con ditions cannot long exist and prospec- tive buyers should take advantage of the situation to pick up some bargain stocks. Shattuck around s17 is the most attractive, as with any perma- nsnt Improvement in the listed cop pers it would advance rapidly.

GREAT INTEREST IN THE RIITTE skS Slxk UOhnL
 DIVIDENDS
Within Next Few Days Anal gamated and Anaconda Will Probably Reduce Dividend Rate Of S7 Per Annum

Boston-Great interest centers in the forthcoming dividends to be de clared within the next 30 days by the directors of the Amalgamated and Ana conda companies. The Ana con- da directors meet next week. It is believed that in view of the demoral- ized copper situation a radical reduc- tion will be made in the present $7 per annum rate. The Amalgamated directors are scheduled to meet oc- tober r.
 If curtailments ordered reduce the output of Amalgamated mines 50 per cent during the last quarter of the calendar year. the reduction on last years output of 224,000,000 pounds means for this period cut-down of at least 2S.000,000 pounds. If the 50 per cent restriction is insufficient q further reduction win follow
 If the Amalgamated mines receive 15 cents per pound for the balance of their 1907 output. the average for the year will be close to 19 1-4 cents. But of course it should oe remembered that the companies at the present writing have unsold a normal three months output.
 In view of the higher wages prevail ing during the current year. and in view of the inevitable increase in the cost per pound of copper when the output is reduced. it is quite possible that the 1907 cost to the Amalgamated companies will be II 1-4 cents per pound. even after gold and silver re- coyeries are credited to the operat- ing account. It is now 10 1-2 cents.
 In view of the reduction in produc- tion which has been gradually taking place during the past six months, to- gether with the 50 per cent curtail- ment now ordered. it is unwise to fig ure son a production for the Amal- gamated company proper this year of over 1S5, 900 900 bounds
 If there is a net profit of 8 cents per pound this year on an output of i 1S5, 100000 pounds owned by Anal gamated, the income account will show net earnings of at least an equity on the net earnings of the sub- sidaTy companes, equal to sS.50 per share.
 It is not to be expected however, that in view of all the uncertainties hanging over the metal outlook. the di- rectors if the Amalgamated Co. will do other than reduce the present $S dividends, notwithstanding that it was only two months ago that the divi- dend was changed for "l 1-2 and 1-2 per cent extra" to regular quarter ly of 2 per cent"
 Anaconda last year produced 95, ,G00,- 900 pounds of copper at a cost of Il cents and the 1907 cost may reach F cents per pound, jn which event profits of s6,000,060 or $5 per share are possible on a production of S3.- 100000 pounds against current divi- dend requirements of ST
 It is quite too early to attempt es- inmates of earning abilities on 15- cent copper At present little is known concerning the extent to which 1t will be necessary to restrict the output All that can be said is that St is costing the Amalgamated Co. 10 1-2 cents per pound to make it's copper when running full blast, and that under similar conditions it costs Anaconda between II and II 1-2'cents per pound, both of which figures are necessarily governed by the yoluDe

 DIVIDEND DUE

Selling Co. is derived chiefly from a commission of 1 per cent on copper sold by it and from refining charges at the Raritan Works sn New Jersey where it refines the product of the Amalgamated mines

Boston-while the probable action of copper companies dsrectorates re- garding future dividends has been dis cussed much of late the fact that a quarterly dividend on the s5.000. .006 capital stock of the United Metals Selling Co, the greatest selling fac tor in the worlds copper trade. will be due in a few days seems to have been overlooked
