ANACONDA DIVIDEND IS CUT
AtchisOn Statement for November

Bond Market StFong Despite Ana
nOuncement of Big Issue Planned
by the City of New York.

New York, Dec S1.-The market at
the opening to-day maintained the
tendency toward higher price level
Whicn had been in evidence for some
days past, and this continued until the
quotations on several leading issues,
such as Reading, Union Pacific, and
Northern Pacific closely approXimated
the highest previously recorded in the
month just reaching its close.
This occurred at about the end Of
the first hour. and seemed to be a sig
nal for a renewal Of operations for
the decline, which in turn precipitated
a profit-taking movement and the
joint effect of the two was 10 turn the
course of prices downward, from which
direction it did not again change dur
ing the session.
Anaconda Dividend Cut.
Favorable factors were offset to
some extent by the apprehension that
the directors of the Anaconda Mining
Company would make a large reduc-
tion in the rate of dividend on the
stock of the company. and that the
November statements of such import
ant railroads as Atchison and Pennsyl-
vania would prove rather disappoint-
ing.
TO some extent these apprehensions
found warrant in actual occurrences,
for the directors of the Anaconda
company met in the afternoon and de-
clared a dividend of only 80 cents a
share against a distribution of 1925
three months ago, and the Atchison
statement was published showing a
'eavy falling eff in the net earnings

part of the FIRE fighters saved the rest Of
the grove. The "mOther" was the sub
iect OF a number OF poems and romance.
