Show If".- WEEK'S BUSINESS : i CLOSjyuiETLy I, .' '.' But Little Demand for Stocks, I J and Prices Suffer in li j Consequence. ! : LITIGATION IS ALSO I , DETRIMENT TO TRADING I 1 Columbus Con. Has Been -the I Weakest Point in I Market. I i I ', Tho week's business on tho local stock J and mining exchanso was brought to a I, 1 cIobo Saturdnv morning in a call devoid ' i of any special features of particular tn- terest to traders or stockholders. For the most part the stocks were Inactive, trnd-I trnd-I Ing being Hcattercd broadly over the list ' ! from Addlo to Zcnoll. but with no marked developments In any one of them. ' During: tho week, barring the one day's sensation created by tho filling of Sioux . t Con. "shorts" by eastern brokers, and !' tho decllno In Columbus Consolidated, , ' buslnoss has continued along an even 'i tenor. There Is no demand for stocks; tho buying public Is evidently saving Us money or putting It In othor forms of speculation and Investment, and without t the demand there can be no great amount of legitimate business transacted. Sales aro not made with tho vim and snnp ' that bespeak a desire to get Into the game and even though tho bids and j offers arc-often but a fraction of a cent ! or a few cents apart, the sales which under such conditions might bo oxpocted aro not forthcoming. Reports from the camps generally are to tho effect that dovelopmont work Is meollng with all success anticipated, and II J numerous new enterprises for new and I . continued work aro under 'way. Pros-It Pros-It poets aro as encouraging as ever, while n. , the old-time producers, for tho most part. H nro maintaining regular outputs. It Is probablo, however, that ponding litigation . works to the detriment of the companies I 1 concerned, and as thcro are a number I of companies now Involved In lawsuits of I' one description and another represented D. on the local board, the prices of their H; stocks are Injured Just so much. The business for tho week ended Satur-Ul Satur-Ul day amounted to 510,263 shares, for $197,-I, $197,-I, 0S2.8S. as against 513.S34 shares, for ?159,-I ?159,-I 985.70, last week. 1 Saturdays sales, amounted to 27,300 11 , shares, for $3219.50. h Closing Quotations .and sales follow: jj y.
