the advance in Reading and American
Tobacco tours. Several rumors were
advanced for these movements, but we
believe the correct solution lies
in the fact that Reading is closely
held, the floating supply is small, their
assets are very large and not only is
this used as a lever to influence the
market, but the stock is worth intrins-
ically more and sooner or later will sell
much higher.
The advance i'm Tobacco bonds was
attributed to the rumor said to emin-
ate in Washington that the suit against
the company would be postponed or
abandoned. This we do not believe.
1t was an easy matter to bid these
bonds up to give color to the above
rumor and facilitate distribution of
stocks throughout the list. We do not
think there is anything unnatural in
this market. Stocks declined because
they were over bought. At the bottom

In the ore treated i'm 1909 were lower

UTAH CONSOLIDATED.

The announcement coming from
trustworthy sources that the directors
Of the Utah Consolidated company viii
probably pass the next dividend pay
ment-50 cents per share-has not only
brought heavy liquidation of the
stock and a resultant sharp price de-
cline, but has also called out deal CT
,unfavorable comment. In view of the
fact that all the recent reports from
the property have been of a favorable
character and that the dividend rate
Is already on a relatively low basis,
the announceme made. naturally
comes as something of surprise to
the shareholders.
It appears, upon investigation, that
the company's present earnings-bas-
ed upon a production of 100000
pounds of copper per annum. at cost
OF approximately nine cents per pound
are only about $3.50 per share on its
outstanding 10000 shares of stock or
% cents per share less than its pres
ent dividend requirements. 1t likewise
transpires that the company I'm the

lmately sl,O00,O0O. including a-reserve

now an admitted fact that the mineral

showing n steady shrinkage for tho

NONE SUCH.

The strikes and dips i'm the copper
hearing lodes of the Nonesuch Copper
Co. controlled by the Calumet & Hec-
IA Mining Co., and located in Ontona-
gon county, are the most peculiar of
anv formation at the Lake. The course
Of the lode In this mine suggests that
II has not yet been decided which way
the so-called Lake lode turns, but so
far as il has been traced the course of
the lode is directly north and south,
whereas all the lodes at the Lake run
northeast and southwest which has
been looked upon by mining engineers
as a very peculiar formation.
And yet the vein i'm the Nonesuch
mine, which is only IL miles west of
the new Lake properties, not only curv-
es. winds and doubles upon itself, but
the dip is towards the northeast, or
Numerically opposite to that Of any
other lode at the Lake. At one place
Il follows a course due east and west,
bends sharply to the southeast, then
to the northeast and there are consid-
erably long stretches running exactly
north and south.
It has shown at depth of 1000 feet
by diamond drill the existence of rich
copper values sufficient to warrant
the sinking of shafts and the creation
OF n real mine.
Below the depth of 1000 feet the
drifts have lost the lode Just what
freak of nature has at this point again
disturbed the formation cannot be
known until further underground
work has been accomplished.
The vein is rich in copper, although
Il is very fine and not easily saved in
milling operations. Nevertheless, the
property bids fair i'm time to be num-
bered among the profitable produc-
ers Of Lake Superior. There is little
or no public interest in the shares
the Calumet & Hecla Co. and the land
owners controlling the entire share
capital.

Boston.-With the near approach of
the holiday on Tuesday traders were
inclined to stay out of the market and
most of the business of the day was
evening up of contracts. The steady
strength of Amalgamated and Anacon-

and they are getting uneasy at not be-
ing able to cover. The local markets
showed no feature worthy of mention.
North Butte rallied little and closed
strong at 351s and SO. North Lake was
a shade stronger, but Indiana was
weaker on scattered selling. Monday
