UNCERTAINTY IN
STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-The confusion
in the movement of prices in today's stock
market was due principally TO the after
effects of yesterdays excitement over the
reported copper consolidation. The posi-
tiveness of yesterdays assertions on that
subject forced some recognition and led to
more candid admission. From these It ap-
peared that the definite accomplishment OF
the plans in view was not to be looked for
until considerable time had elapsed, per-
haps many months. That actual consoii-
dations are intended admitted, al
though important exceptions among the
important copper producers were mentioned.
This uncertain state of the project threw
some hesitation into the speculative move
ments based on IT,
Amalgamated Copper itself seemed to be
pressed consistently on the market, and
the obstacles il encountered to any further
advance at last nights final price took the
edge off its effect on the rest of the list
Some other stocks concerned in the con-
solidation made further advances.
The announcement that the American
telephone and telegraph company had ac-
quired an influential holding in the West
ern Union was calculated to confirm the
confidence that important financial trans
formations were at work, leading to reao-
tion on profit taking when the formal an
nouncement came.
The success realized for the Pennsyl-
vania stock subscriptions revived those
securities. the proceeds of the subscrip-
tions running over the estimates by reason
of the large amount of convertible bonds
a.. of he
subscription privilege. This removed a
ground for considerable vague uneasiness
which had overhung the market since Penn
sylvania started on a downward course
after the new stock was determined upon.
Discounts abroad were easier and the in
ternational money conditions apparently
laxed all around. New York exchange at
Chicago held at par, relieving the pressure
on New York from that point.
Call loans ruled below per cent and re-
heoted an easing tendency. That quiet
speculation is a requisite to the continu-
ance Of the condition prevalent view
still, and this had its effect as restraint
on the stock market
The publication of the comptroller's call
for reports of condition by the national
banks is momentarily expected, and it is
surmised that the banks have been en-
gagged in some window dressing" for the
occasion. For that reason it is expected
that funds will be supplied more literally
by lenders after the condition of the call
has been complied with.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, s5,3l6, 600.
United States bonds were unchanged on

tied with the lions share. At the close of the
trading December stood at $1.0I13, unchanged
