STOCK MARKET
 SLOWING DOWN
FAC END OF WEEK HAS USUAL EFFECT, BESIDES WHICH AN NoUNCEMENT OF COREY ACTS AS STRONG DETERRMENT.

NEW YORK, November l4.--The slowing down of the speculative pace in the stock market today from yester- day was due in part, no doubt, to the customary practice of evening up all financial transactions with the close of the week.
 There was marked decline from yesterdays furious activity. One or two items of the days news increased 'he tendency to pause. One was a statement attributed to President Corey or the United States Steel corporation placing the present working of its HllIs at 60 per cent of the capacity and putting forward the probable date of the restoration of normally healthful conditions in business to the middle oi next summer. The action of the united States Steel had strong sym pathetic effect of the whole market.

 Whenthe Phelps-Dodge management took eharges of the Old Dominion 1t began a systematic search for new ore bodies. Dr. l.. D. Ricketts then stated that he had faith to go ahead with the extensive construction plans; he was confident that more ore would be found than was then in sight, for mine that could produce 200,000,000 pounds of copper in 1900 feet of depth must have additional extensive ore bodies, and it was not mining sense that such heavy naturalization in a vein formation could be confined to a small area.
 Underground developments have since uncovered what is known as the West country ore body, 300 feet to the west of the main ore body. The underground food in 1905 cut off further develop ment there, however, and nearly drown ed the mine before it was under con trol. It has taken three years to get the west country in shape to resume operation, andwhile the limits in this West country ore body have not beer. determined, the ore has been penetrated on the 10th, 1lth and 14th levels by means of crosscuts from the old work ipgs. The 10th and l1th level ores are oxides. Those on the 14th are sul phides.
 More recent underground develop ment has encountered another big ore body 1000 or 1900 feet to the east run ming into the United Globe territory While the West country ore body does not extend above the S00-foot level, this new ore body may run to the sur face, as this ground has never been prospected.
 Both these ore bodies, so far as de- veloped, have shown up as high grade ore as heretofore found in the mine, and both bodies bid fair to be as large, if not larger, than the old ore body, which has already contributed 200,000.- 900 pounds of copper to the world s supply. Practically two new mines have thus been opened.
 The company is now outputting about 3,500,000 pounds of copper per month from four furnaces out of its battery of six, and it is now remodeling several of its old furnaces. When this is done it is not unlikely that production will be increased to 8 rate of 50,000,000 pounds of copper per annum, especially if the copper metal market improves. These new ore discoveries should i'm prove the grade of Old Dominion ore, which will add to its output as well as earnings.
 October net earnings of Old Domin- ion should be in excess of, the $l00,000 mark. August and September net earn ings amounted to $s5,000 each. As all floating debts have been paid off and earnings are now at the rate of about $4 per share on 1872 cent copper, sotck- holders have every reason to expect an early resumption of dividends.

O-O DOMINION
 IN HIGH FAVOR
REGENT HEAVY SHARE BUYING
 IS BASED ON UNDERGROUND DEVELOPMENTS AND DECLIN- ING COST, ASSURING DIVIDEND.

The recent strength in the shares of the Old Dominion Go. has been general ly ascribed to "pool" operations, but we are assured that there is no pool operating in the stock, says the Boston News Bureau. The recent heavy buy ing by Milk street house has been for customers, ss was the heavy buying of year ago by Jackson & Curtis.
 Of the 100000 shares of the Old Do minion stock, about 100000 shares are owned by Phelps, Dodge & Co.,, Pres. c. s. Smith is credited with the owner ship of 10000 shares, and there are several large concentrated ownerships by individuals and estates. There are, likewise, over 1000 shareholders, which leaves comparatively small amount of floating stock in the Street. In fact, it is estimated that brokerage houses are carrying less than 25,000 shares of stock.
 The recent heavy buying of shares has been based upon underground de- velopments, assuring the company an adequate ore supply for years ahead; also on the steadily reducing costs, which assure substantial dividends.
 The Old Dominion. Co. has produced over 200,0o0,000 pounds of copper from one ore body in its mine from the sur face to the 13O0-foot level. Up to the time of the change of control it never had but one ore body. Now it has been demonstrated that this same ore body extends to great depth, by the opening

"TurniDg to the speculative situa- ton, it may be stated that most of the professionals in Wall street are of the opinion that stocks have been ad- vanced to a higher level than the sit nation warrants. In accordance with this view, there are many traders who arc working for q general reaction. It is quite possible that there will be great deal of proft-taking on the pres ent bulge by investors who bought at much lower figures. A fairly good re- action might, therefore, be naturally expected to follow the present market. After close study of the situation, however, we cannot agree with the opinion that stocks are intrinsically high for investment, and we believe that reaction from this level would give investors an excellent opportunity to buy a good supply of stocks before there is a complete return of prosperi. ty.

ly lower. However, considering the very heavy liquidation during the week the market has shown great strength, the buying orders coming from all sec tiors of the country. The copper stocks have made q good showing, the best of them advancing in sympathy with the advancing metal market. All the local stocks have been strong. old Do- minion and Arizona Commercial have been active and sold at record prices for the year. Old Dominion after touching 60, declined to 561a bid, but recovered most of the loss and closed the week at 58M bid. Arizona Com mercial has continued strong on favor able developments at the Eureka shaft, and is destined to sell considerably higher before the end of the year. Mi ami has rather been rather dull but firm. Globe closed the week about the same price bid as was quoted week ago. Superior & Boston made by far the best showing, having advanced from 12% bid last Saturday, to l5 bid yesterday. While the pace may be slower for n time, we believe that high CT prices for the best copper and rail road stocks will ultimately prevail
 On the New York Stock Exchange last Monday 1,G40,000 shares of stock and $6,500,000 bonds changed hands So active trading in stocks has not been witnessed since March, 1907, when there occurred what was called al "silent panic" Since January l, stock transactions have aggregated l5s,000,000 shares, against 1lS,0O0,000 shares year ago. The increase in the volume of bond business shows much greater increase; during 1908 sales of listed bonds have exceeded $900,000,- 900, against $465, 100000 in 1907, and the indications are that by the in- crease will be even greater by the end of the year.
