MARKET'S WEAKNESS CAUSED SURPRISE The Vigorous Rally After the Wild Market of Last Thursday Led Observers to Se- lieve the Demoralization Was Ove. for the Present Weakuess Probably Due to Lawson's Prociamations, New York, Dec. 12—There was another opening smash in prices of stocks Monday, the trouble again cen- | fore the supreme court Monday with.) | the republican and democratic parties, | 361 were democratic and 62 repuoli- tered in Amalgamated Copper. Heavy unloading of that stock carried it down 4% and 20,000 shares of United States Steel sold down an extreme 14 on run- ning sales. The market fluctuated un- evenly after the opening and then Went lower. The London prices for Americans before the opening here were generaily higher and gave no hint of the storm hanging over this market. There were some vigorous efforts made to support the market but by 11 o'clock there was another bad break. The extreme weakness of the market came as a general surprise to all ob- servers in the financial district. The vigorous rally of the latter part of last week encouraged the idea that the demoralivation was over for the pres- ent and the effective advance in Lon- don this morning furthered this view It was fot expected that there would be any further great rise in prices and it was even anticipated that there might be a dull sagging movement, ac- cording to the usual precedents in such coses, There was no news to ac- count for the renewed fright, but the movement of prices was convincing ev- idence of the timidity felt by security holder The renewal of sensatione proclamations through advertising mer from the same source that preceded the successful raid of last week had a notable eect on sentiment. The selling was gene- rab from all sources, The offer- ings of money at 38% per cent. on call showed that no stringency in that department was responsible for the liquidation, “ Another break less abrupt and ex- tensive than that at the opening set In. Amal. ated Copper, which was chiefly affected, being lower than at any previous time of the day, The steel stocks also were very heavy. Re- ports from the floor suggested the theory that the selling came from in- terests other than those which caused the early decline. During the noon hour the market showed brief periods of extreme dullness, but activity was resumed and by one o'clock the heavy selling movement was again on. It became evident during the after- hoon that the buying demand for stocks was practically paralyzed beyond the occasional demand to cover short con- tracts by traders on the bear side of, the market. The throwing over of stocks again became precipitate, caus- ing wpid declines again in prices. Amalgamated Copper receded an ex- treme 84. The final drov in Amalzamated Cop- per to 61% made the closing weak and generally at about the lowest, ARE STILL FIGHTING.
