Show I The MctrKet and the Mtnej. With due allowance for the fact that a number num-ber of industrial and commercial concerns have paid their quarterly dividends the commercial stock and bond market hold's firm in the majority of cases. A number of the stocks are now quoted ex-dividend, and there are a few changes in prices. On Wednesday the stockholders of the Idaho Sugar company decided to increase the capital stock from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000. Early in November there will probably be $500,000 worth of stock issued at par to the stockholders. The remaining $1,500,000 of stock will be held in the treasury. The company will pay its regular quarterly dividend of 1 per cent on Nov. 1. The Home Fire Insurance company will this week pay a special 2 per cent dividend, which makes 10 per cent for the year. Bond's of all kinds are strong. The following quotations up to Wednesday Wednes-day evening, are furnished by John C. Cutler, Jr.: Bid. Asked.

Locally, continued good business has been the feature of the past week, while in the east, coppers, cop-pers, led by Boston Con., have been doing a San-dow San-dow stunt. While Boston Con. has been slow to fill its sales, it is now getting under way and promises to outstrip all competitors. This is partially par-tially due to the fact that the more showy performances per-formances of other shares have obscured its merits. Now, however, investors are beginning to realize that the property has been selling away below its earning value. Large purchases have raised the stock to $11 a share, and the demand de-mand shows no sign of abating. While the figures for the week ending Wednesday night show a decline in some respects re-spects from the record of the previous week, the local market was in a healthy condition. The increase in-crease in the price of shares sold has been considerable, con-siderable, while the falling off in their values and in the ore and bullion settlements is but slight. New York Bonanza has been led like a lamb to the slaughter. The certainty of an assessment proved to be a veritable sand-bag which knocked the stock from 20 to 14 and less. Throughout the week the Park City share has been butchered in large quantities to make an ursine holiday. The value of ten leading stocks has declined from $3,995 to $3.87. Columbus Con. and Beck Tunnel have made the only gains, while Ajax has stood still at 13. Star Con. went off 1 cent; Lower Low-er Mammoth from 30 to 27 ; May Day from 8 to 7lA; Silver Shield from 18 ta 13J; Uncle Sam from 28 to 274, and Yankee Con. from 34 to 33. The sales for the week were 136,924 shares, worth $39,541.49. The ore and bullion settlements totalled $448,000. BINGHAM. The case begun by Col. E. A. Wall in the Utah district court to prevent the consummation of the proposed sale of control by the Utah Copper Cop-per Co. to the American Smelting & Refining interests in-terests has been placed at the foot of the docket, and the whole matter will probably be adjudicated adjudi-cated in the New Jersey courts. The Utah Apex is now maintaining a daily output of about fifty tons, with values from $30 to $40 a ton. Of the Boston Con. property Manager Hanchett says that, with continued shipments of 200 to 300 tons a day, the reserves of sulphide ore are constantly being augmented, and in the porphyry belt the mineral body is 600 to 700 feet wide. Much of this porphyry will average zy2 per cent copper. The raise from the deep tunnel to the old upper up-per workings of the Butler-Liberal will be finished fin-ished with 100 feet of work. Preparations are in progress for the resumption of work on the Ba-zouk. Ba-zouk. TINTIC. The supreme court has affirmed the decision of Judge Thomas Marioneaux awarding the ownership own-ership of the ore bodies in the Silveropolis claim to the Grand Central Mining company and giving the Grand Central judgment against the Mammoth Mam-moth for nearly $300,000, the value of the ore ex- tr'acted' from the ground in dispute. The Mam- HB9 moth is making a survey to determine the cost of fijfl a tramway from the mine to the town of Robin- , HH son, about a mile away. The Ajax is doing about 'rail 100 feet of development a month, and steadily re- HH during its outstanding indebtedness. The third' HD car of ore from the recent strike in the Black ifll Jack contained twenty-seven tons of ore and HH brought the company $2,121.39. The Star is Sl drifting on the 400 level to connect with the rich 'WH ore opened' on the $00. The double compartment ifll shaft is now down 800 feet. Uncle Sam has now IH secured teams and the shipment of its ore is in ill progress. The Brown lease on the Eureka Hill, 'NH which is being worked through the Centennial- IPflBi Eureka shaft, will soon be producing a car a day, jflKH and it is estimated that $500,000 worth of ore is nll in sight. Grand Central has declared a dividend Kl of 5 cents a share, payable Oct. 16. Construction 'iH of the Yankee Con. mill has been postponed un- til next spring. May Day will probably levy an HH assessment of 2l2 cents a share this week. ,191 |
