WALL STREET NEWS
Morning Sees Advance in Prices,
but Healthy Reaction Causes
Decline at Close.
By THOMAS c. sHoTwELL.

New York, March s2.-It was healthy
reaction that swept prices down in the
last hour Of trading on the stock ex-
change to-day. Final prices were in many
important instances below those OF the
previous session. The morning saw an
advance that put many issues TO new
high record prices. The new records
that attracted most attention were in
Amalgamated Copper. Smeiters. Can
preferred. Biscuit, Lehigh Valley coal
sales, and British-American Tobac-
co. Toward the middle OF the session
Union Pacific was made the leader.
Business was fairly well distributed
throughout the list. The close was heavy
in the standard issues, but 1t had the
appearance Of a manipulated heayiness
TO discourage the professional traders
Copper metal sold to-day at ISIS cents
a pound. and this seemed TO establish
It firmly above the 15-cent mark. Talk
Of a strike at Butte had no effect, for
the contract OF the Anaconda with its
miners calls for an advance of wages
when the metal sells at Is cents.
The entire copper mining industry is in
as healthy condition now as 1t was un-
healthy five years ago.
The advance of Smelters to-day was
held so as to win many friends for
. 1t. The last time Smelters was at 50
the pdblic was sinvited to purchase, and
was promptly slaughtered. This time
the market seems to be genuine. and the
public is not being invited TO buy.
Erie acted to-day as though 1t would
join the upward movement in the morn
ing, but II was beaten back a point and
lost the few friends 1t had made in re-
cent weeks.
Announcement that the St Paul Rail
road would probably place orders for
siXty-five more locomotives with the
American Locomotive Company, which
has already orders from the same road
for sixty. sent stock of the company up.
The Virginian Railroad will also give
orders for locomotives and cars as a re-
suit Of the recent bond sale. Car Foun-
dry stock rose as a result.
Can preferred went to the new high
record OF 100S and closed there. Can
common went TO 1S4., and by its rise
caused the street to consider other stocks
that are worth more and selling for less.
For instance, National Enameling COM
mon sells at l6. while its preferred has
paid per cent ever since organization,
ten years ago.
