No particular significance attached to any of these changes: they were all ‘due to purely specuiative influ- ences. Wall street seemed to have been taking more than: thought over the week end of the rapidity and magnitude of the recent advance and to be asking itself whether, with all proper regard for the favorable out- Took in business, the market had not been going ahead too fast. This con- sideration was back of most of the selling done during the day. Yet at the same time there were no very positive indications that the pools and other speculative interests which Tave been in control for the last few months were lostg any of their power. Higher Copper Prices. Another advance in the copper metal, this time to 16 cents a pound, was the chief incident of the day in tho way of trade news. This bore out the best judgment of the metal trade, as it has been all along, that the re- duction in thie surplus stocks. which has been going on for the last year, would be bound to show in higher prices with the approach of spring.

This varticularly true of Callahan Mining and Butte and Superior. The zine metal market {s in a strong po- sition because of another substantial reduction hand. in the surplus stocks on Traders Take Short Side, The reaction which developed in the afternoon stock market was due wholly to conditions within the mar- ket f{tself. There had been heavy selling of the recent speculative leaders during the early part of the day. This gradually got the upper hand and in the last hour prices came down quite generally. Traders turned to the short side as soon as_prices had commenced to el They directed their efforts especially against stocks like Stude- baker and Baldwin Locomotive, al- ways: easy to move whether in_one direction or the other. . The move In the railway shares was not sustained, and interest guickly died out.in this auarter despite the fact that the January varnings reports will soon be coming out and undoubtedly make fully as 5ood a showing and in many instances even a lLetter one than was made in December. Motor accessories shares moved for- ward in the later dealings under the lead of Stromberg & Bosch Magneto. ‘Tobacco stocks had a brief run up and Public Service of New Jersey made a new high on talk of an increase from the present §8 to an either $9 or $10 dividend.

There Wwas lesa * manifestation of “intercst in the sugar {ssues which had their Tun-up 4 week ago.

The fact that there is not 0 be an extra sesslon of Con- pone for 21 to the transportation act, should ventually be felt in prices for specu- lative rallroad bomnds.
