SHORTS IN STEEL
 ARE IN DISTRESS
Trust Stock Reaches Record Price on the New York
 Market.

NEW YORK, Nov. I2.-Transactions in stocks underwent a decided shrink age from the recent rate of activity to- day. The tendency at all times was hesitating, and market movements ex- ceedingly sPotty and uneven. SteePs rise today to 56%4, eclipsing by more points any price ever before touched in the history of the corporation, was remarkable demonstration. Pre- ferred stock at IA also sold at record price. Lack os special news to ac- count for the heavy demand for steel gave rise to the surmise that a large and obstinate short interest in the stock was being driven to cover on such distressing terms as may be imagined from the excess of the price paid over that which any previous sales have been effected.
 The violent slump in the price of copper in London gave point to the suspicion of speculative manipulation of the market for that metal in recent advance. The price of copper locally was not effected. but the falling off re- ported indicated that immediate needs of consumers have been provided for.
 Copper industrials were not con- spicuous here for price movement in either direction, although in London they were depressed in sympathy with the metal. The days net changes show some striking gains, but re- straint of movement in such prime speculative favorites as Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, St. Paul, Reading, Copper and American Smelling made itself felt in the tone of the market. Bonds irregular.
