Dizziness of Business fin Part Due TO

n Feature, Rs Increase sn Dividend
Rate Is PrObabIe-RumOrs of
big Deal in Copper.

New York. May 13.-Apathy in the stock
market. which has been growing through
out the week was so intensified to-day
as to bring business up TO the beginning
OF the last hour OF the stock exchange
session to a point OF almost entire inertia.
In this period the volume OF dealings
was such as TO indicate one of the small
est turnoverS OF stocks for any full bust
ness day in the year.
Nevertheless, so far as the market dis
played any tendency at all II was toward
strength. The Pennsylvania shares MAIN
taihed their large advance OF yesterday.
rise Of considerable proportions oc-
CURED In the Rock Island common stock.
Canadian Pacific stock was a feature.
and there was also no little buying OF the
chesapeake and Ohio shares based upon
a general feeling that an increase in the
company's dividend rate was likely.
Fairly Vigorous Upturn.
In the closing hours however, the ap-
pearance OF the market changed 10 this
extent that the general frmness exhibited
IN the face Of continued efforts 10 break
prices on the part Of spectators for the
fall led 10 fairly vigorous upturn. The
rise was accelerated, perhaps. by a par
ucularly sharp advance In Canadian pa
cine. for which the current explanation
given was the large business now being
done by the Canadian pacific Company
as attested In It's recent reports Of earn
ings.
Just before the end Of the day the ac-
uvity Of the market again slackened and
prices receded slightly. but closing quota
tons were such as TO leave the most
prominent stocks at net gains. In the
latter dealings the Denver and Rio
Grande. Virginia Carolina Chemical. and
Amalgamated Copper stocks were espe-
cially strong and an unconfrmed rumor
regarding the last named ran 20 the ef-
feet that purchase of Senator Clark's
large copper mining. interests in Montana
had been arranged by the AmaIgamated
company.
Holiday I'm London.
No doubt part OF the dulIness OF bust
ness was 10 be attributed to the fact
that the London market will be closed
Tomorrow and Monday for usual Whit !
suntide recess there, which will have the
effect presumably Of stopping all opera |
tons here for London account during
this period. AS IT was purchases and
sales by London. operators here were to- |
day few at most. Sterling exchange bills
rallied in the morning upon covering sales |
by spectators in exchange, who recently /
made short sales based upon the theory |
that exchange would weaken under the
offering Of bills drawn against forelrn
purchases Of bonds. The grain markets
were in the main strong throughout. al
though the crop news was generally IA
vorable.

the report Of his small revolver would
not be noticed
! He left the club and returned half an
/ hour later with his revolver in his coat

empty; only two elderly gentlemen were

windows He went into the little writ

a stranger sitting there. but as the man
would probably not stay very long, he
sat down at the other desk
He found It very difficult 10 write Just
as he wanted TO. and the presence Of the
other man disturbed him. He was a TAN
man with he'd hair and very prominent
teeth. Robert was sure he had never

seemed very much interested in a betting

very much distressed.

The thought made him laugh quite loud.

and then wrote a few lines 70 his law

the other. who was stilI sitting In the

Would you be kind enough to tell me
what time It is2" Robert asked.
! The stranger did not stir, and he re-
peated the question. but With the same
result.
The fellow must either be deaf or
mad" Robert thought. and stood for a
while gazing out Of the window.
Z wonder II he IS going to stay here

Just then the fellow looked up and
stared at Robert with a wild expression
in his eyes. which confirmed the young
mans belief that the stranger must be
