Furnished by Cameron Currie a. Co.:
The market showed some strength In
the early dealings, but seemed 10 ruI
into long stock on the advance. Heavy
selling in Shelters. owing to reports u
and a probably coming heavy cut IN the
Lead dividend, broke the price OF this
stock rapidly. For a while, the general
list resisted. but Amalgamated Copper
-tt,-seiL Grso-that- leading stocks like
Reading sold down from point TO a
point and a half below their early high
level. There has since been moderate
rally. and the market Is drifting at
present without much tendency. Oper :
atoms are largely confined to the rooii
and, as always In professional mar
ket the tone changes quickly from
weak to strong and vice versa.
