LESS TRADING.

REACTION IN THE MARKET
STEEL AND COPPER INDUSTRIES
NOT AT FLOOD TIDE.

New York. Nov. 29.-The play of con-
tending opinions reflected in the action
OF the securities market last week had
10 do with the effort TO adjust the rela-
tive force of the undiminished con-
fidence over the commercial and indus
trial outlook and the question OF how
far that outlook had been discounted
in the speculation. Restoration of the
previous weeks decline in prices was
quickly and easily effected, aided by
the requirements of the short interest
left uncovered on that decline. The
tone OF hesitation and uncertainty ap-
peared after the recovery and indi-
Gated a degree of reluctance of buyers
in following prices to new high stages.
Transactions underwent q decided
shrinkage in volume. no single days
dealings rising to a full million shares.
Outsiders Quit NibbIing.
The decrease was attributed in large
part to a subsistence Of the general out
side participation in the market and op-
erations lapsed into professional hands.
In these hands skillful use was made of
an occasional incident to push the price
fluctuations to an extreme. but the con-
tinual changes I'm the current indicated
the superficial character of some of
these influences. The falling tendency
of the week before was made the most
of when the week opened by professed
uneasiness over the effects in pending
revision of import duties Of the maya
zine article on the subject by Andrew
Carnegie. The stand taken by the for
mer iron master in favor of abolition Of
duties on steel, IL was feared would
give a new turn to the proposed tariff
revision such as the financial district
has been inclined to assume had been
averted. Political discussion bearing on
a reported divergence of view on this
subject between the incoming admins
tration and the leaders of the house of
representatives. was calculated 20 en-
phasize the effect of this influence.
Metals Heavy.
There was also some discussion of
the tone of the market for steel prod
ucts which indicated a siackening of
the rate of expansion in that industry
indicated by the thrush of orders re-
leased by the passing of the elections.
The reaction which has occurred in the
price Of copper metal was another in
dex of a failure of maintenance of the
full rate of Incorporation of consumptive
demand or of speculative excess in an
ticipating that demand. A heavy tone
in the metal industrials was a conse-
quence. and this persisted to some ex-
tent even in the periods of recovery in
the general line OF the stock market
A prime factor in the rebound of
prices was the listing at the stock ex-
