was partially divided between the
legitimate operations of the market
and the stories of the disaster of the
sea. Practically everyone has some
friend or friends on board and pub
lilo interest was at such tension that
Il interfered with business.
At the immediate opening the feel
Ing was that the happenings were
rather favorable to lower prices and
the edge was taken off the show of
strength made late on Monday. But
sentiment changed again when II be-
came known that negotiations to-
ward the elimination of threat of
coal strikes were under way with
prospects of success.
No actual announcements were
made, but 1t is believed that the an
thracite miners will be at work again
by the end of the month.
Announcement was made that the
Amalgamated Copper Company would
on Thursday, increase its dividend
from to a per cent basis. This
action having been largely discount

shares of the corporation.
AS for actual news the market was
decidedly bare. The generally ex-
pressed opinion where Views were ex-

considerably further, but with this
