HUNTINGTON SECURES
LARGE LAND ACREAGE
Deal by Which Millionaire Acquires
Splendid Tract of Land Is Said
to Involve Quarter of
Million Dollars

PASADENA, Nov. 27.-Henry e.
Huntington. through his holding COM
pany, the Huntington Land and I'M
provement company, has purchased
ninety-three acres just outside the city
limits of Pasadena through the william
r. Staats company from the OAK Grove
Improvement company. The deal Is
said to involve approximately quar-
ter of a million dollars.
For years the Pasadena Country CLUB
representing the exclusive society set
of the Crown city, has occupied the
land for golf and other out door
sports. The club owns outright the
six or eight acres on which the club
house stands, and the sale is not eX-
Dected to interfere seriously with the
clubs plans, as there has been con-
siderable talk recently of abandoning
the golf course on account of the rapid
increase of values in the southeast sec
tion.
MIR. Huntington states he considers
his new property one of the most beau
tiful in the san Gabriel valley and he
will spare no expense in improving it.
Through ii Mr.. Huntington directly OF
Indirectly controls all the land on the
bluff from Raymond hill to. Lamanda
Park.
The property is situated just east
of the exclusive Oak Knoll residence
district. which was developed by Mr.
HUNTINGTON. 1t extends southwark as
far as KeWen, or Wilson lake, and is
west and north of the great personal
estate of the street railway magnate
on which he is building a home cost
ing a quarter of million dollars.

UNSETTLED COPPER MERGER
CAUSES SLUMP IN PRICES
Bank Statement Shows Substantial
Loan Reduction, and This Offset
Larger Effect Anticipated
from Gold Shipments
1Assnclatcd Pressl

NEW YORK, Nov 27-The stock market
suffered today from a recurrence Of anxiety
over the antitrust law and also from the
satisfaction OF a considerable part Of the de-
mand from the outstanding short interest
built up In the weeks break in prices.
The divorce OF the st. Louis & San Fran
cisco from tho Rock Island system was ac-
cepted as settled fact, and this course was
attributed TO fears Of prosecution under the
antitrust law, I'm spite Of assertions 10 the
contrary designed to counteract this influence.
The break In the copper stocks caused an
other Of tho sudden changes of opinion over
the chances for tho proposed copper merger,
which have kept the stock market unsettled
all week. The selling was sufficiently con-
oentrated and aggressive TO give the impress
sion as coming from important sources.
The organization Of bear party IN the
speculation, with operations ccntering In Bos-
ton, was alone factor hi the action of
the market. Some large selling was attrib-
utcd to the wealthy capitalists Of speculative
habit who are connected with the great cor
porations Immediately aimed AT in the gov
ernments suit and the sherman law.
This suspicion Of the source Of the selling
cmphaized the apprehension over The results
10 follow from the anti-trust prosecutions
in their largest bearing on the general POSI-
tton Of corporations
Tho bank statement showed d substantial
loan reduction, both by the clearing house
institutions and others. which served TO Offset
the larger effect than was anticipated of last
Saturdays gold shipments on the cash item.
Tho increasing supplies of commercial paper
and the diminished inclination Of banks out
side New YORK 10 absorb these offerings are
noted as possible sign OF increasing firm
ness In the money market
