PRICES OF STOCKS
DRIFT DOWNWARD
Failure of American Can to
Take Action on Back Divi-
dend Responsible

New York, February 5.-Priees Of
stocks drifted downward today in much
the same deliberate way as. on the pre-
vious days of the week. Sentiment was
more bearisli and although there We're
no developments of sufficient moment
to bring about decided change in mar
lxet conditions. such new influences as
were brought to bear, helped TO spread
pessimistic feeling.
Disappointment at the failure of
American Can directors TO take action
on the back dividend on the preferred
stock, legal distractions in the way of
concluding the subway negotiations and
unfavorable reports of conditions in the
copper trade were responsible for de-
clines IN the stocks directly concerned
and the feaviness In these shares spread
to the general list, although the rail-
road stocks for a time resisted the
movement.
Bear traders, although protesting in
creased confidence, did not put their
faith to the test by venturing upon
heavy operations. The amount of busi-
ness continued small and the movement
among the bulk of the standard issues
was narrow Some of the specialties
and a few of the high grade railroad
stocks at times were lowered a point
or more, giving the market as a whole
a heavy tone. The copper group was
the feature of weakness.
These shares We're sold on the break
in London and on reports of unsettled
conditions in the home market
Consumers were said to be holding
back pending publication this week OF
the copper producers monthly state
ment.
1t was predicted that the statement
would show further gain in stocks on
hand. Pennsylvania was under pres
sure and in this connection were re-
vived reports which eere denied re-
Gently that a large issue of new stock
was contemplated Declarations of a
per cent quarterly dividend on Ameri-
can Tobacco with Is per cent extra

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. February 5.-(Special )--Thc
market closed practically unchanged, clos
ing at the opening prices, which were
those of the elise of yesterday.
Liverpool advices more than offset the
bearish and depressed conditions of the
cotton trade. which remained under the
fear of the effects of tariff revision.
In the meantime the statistical position
grows stronger each day as the spindles
are all at work on profitable basis.
This is lost sight of in the feeling that
we cannot expect any active speculation
for an advance until the financial situation
changes.
We think the depression is uncalled for
when we consider the enormous, con-
sumption in progress
