Letter, Boston. Entire market today consisted of a Christmas celebration. The pftst year has been a. hard ono for the poople interested In copper, but we firmly bollove that the worst Is over and that next year will sec a return to the profitable conditions which wo havo looked for so long. We wIbIi all our patrons a very Merry Christmas Christ-mas and a Happy New Year. Logan & Bryan Stock Letter, New Tork, The attendance on the floor of tho exchange dwindled ti) exceedingly small proportions, which made today's sosslon dull and uninteresting, to say the least. The existing activity was confined to such Issues as Western Maryland and Consolidated Consoli-dated Gas, the former being In demand on the expectancy of an Increase In tho disbursement on the company's shares, and tho latter on reports to the effect that progress in the matter of extending the company's line was being made rather more rapidly than anticipated. The bank stalement will not be Issued until tomorrow, but preliminary estimates indicate a substantial increase, which, taken Into consideration with the luck of Intense speculation during tho past week, may result in a favorable exhibit. A slight firming of money rates Is not Improbable Im-probable next week In view of the prospective pros-pective preparations for the January disbursements, dis-bursements, but the opinion that the securities se-curities markets are likely to fluctuate within comparatively narrow limits for the rest of the year is expressed almost generally, so that the Incentive to make new commitments Is lacking Gallagher, New York, 3ays: Curb markot mar-kot today absolutely dead and without feature; copper stocks slightly off. Tonopah, Tono-pah, Oil and Tlntics steady. In the Industrial In-dustrial list. Intor-Conllnontal Rubber rallied about half a point at the close. Hornblower Letter, Boston. Today's market Was dull and uninteresting. Changes were only fractional outside of North Butte, which declined a point, with no news lo account for it. The usual trading hours were given ujl to celebration celebra-tion rather than business. The close wa3 dull. I Now York Sun says: Without anything I of consequence or a piece of significant j information to provide Incentive for commitments, com-mitments, the stock market today shrank to proportions of record-breaking triviality. trivial-ity. The throe days' recess was enough to deter professionals from venturing ventur-ing into contracts which have to bo carried over, and tho doallngs wore limited. A Utile drive was made agalnsl prices in tho forenoon, but what appeared lo be unlimited supporting orders were encountered on fractional recessions. During Dur-ing most of the day, the list exhibited Irregular Ir-regular changes In comparison with last night's close. The afternoon stock market mar-ket was dull. New Tork Mining Stocks. James A.
