J. 4. Minnear & Co. say today
There was considerable activity in
the markets today but only at the eX-
pense Of prices. London copper de-
clined nearly pound Sterling on the
day and we understand the demand for
metal is practically nil. although re-
ductions have been made in the ask
inc prices. The failure of one of the
largest mercantile houses In the coun-
~ darkened the ardour of investors
and with no demand from this source
the little liquidation caused lower
prices all through the list Shortly be-
fore closing, ontario & Western pass
ed its dividend and this caused more
selling.
| The closing was at practically th'
low prices Of the day and though th'

ally a good time to buy and after Tn
