COMMENT ON MARKET.

Benjamin Woodruff. OF Post & Flagg-
Il have looked all day for a further
rally but the extreme weakness in the
Gould properties and the break in Inter
Metropolitan bonds have been enough 10
make people feel blue and cheek any ten
dency 70 rally. However, near the close
the market took a decided upward move
ment. recovering something like 10 3
points from the lowest figures. due.
principally TO short covering The better

pie who have been attracted into the
market have not cared 20 buy them No
special developments came 10 light dur
ing the day. and should the market be-
come strong. IL will probably again be a
sale"
G. Bowie Chipman, OF Z. F. Hutton *
Co.-"To-day's market started off with
sentiment generally bullish on the floor.
and the opinion prevailed that a sufficient
short interest existed TO rally the market
several points. But bullish operations
were nipped ar the start by an abrupt
break in Missouri Pacific OF 4 points: this
was followed by marked weakness in the
entire Southwestern group. If conhscat-
ing legislation viii cause Missouri Pacific

70 this property viii affect others in the
same district. Further weakness in the
copper group was the result OF another
cut in the metal OF = cent, making the
price now 2i4 cents. Copper now feels the
effect cf having loaded Up European mar
kets. and consequently there is no de-
mand from any source. A heavy break

dividend cut coming. This security is
purely an investment stock. and Is bound

is a sign Of the times. The professional

early to-day. and the sales later depressed
the general list OF active issues. causing
a heavy tendency Al the close I am
looking for lower prices"

Inter.-Met. Is Weak.

Another matter causing weakness in
the market to-day was a violent drop in
the Interborough-N1etrop AZ per
cent bonds, which led to rumor that the
marlborough Metropolitan Company was
meditating placing further obligations
upon its property.
~ Pressure upon the Amalgamated Copper
ID Anaconda stocks was also the legiti-
mate result OF the news that another
decline had occurred in the price of cop
per metal, and. indeed. il is conceded
that even AZ present prices for this COM
modify. which are now almost down 10
the lowest level Of last year, very little
buying has been stimulated. The Amalga-
mated Copper shares. however, seem 10
,stubboTnly resist any selling movement
that from time 10 time breaks out among
them. and their extreme relative strength
is the subject Of much wondering COM
ment.
