Oct. 17.-The hailing and I Irregular movement of prices of sloes to dsy ottered a confusing medium through which to try to discern any defined feel ing towards the matket. During the early part of the day this filing was of more active anxiety, while later, with the sub sidence of disquiet, there waa still a passive apprehension that was not yet clear In the tone. The collapse In the United Copper slock In the curb market and the collateral con sequences from that event were the cen tral influences, as they were ycaterday. With the suspension of the board member of the firm concerned with the attempted corner In the stock and with the action connected with It, which Involved yester day's failure of a stock exchange firm who had tiken orders In that stock, and with the retirement of F. Augustus Helnse from tha Mercantile National bank, the limits of the trouble which has been loom ing on the stock market horizon became better denned and was nt rather leas por tentous effect on sentiment. Feeling in the matter waa rather one of belief as over the removal flf a factor that prom ised mischievous results. The announced failure of a savings bank In Butte waa associated In the puhllo estimation with the unsettled condition In the copper world, but details of tha affair were meagre. With the dividend meeting of the Amalgamated Copper company, set for to day, the copper situation waa given an ad ditional hold on tha market and an the dividend action was not looked for until near or after the close of the market, all the conditions were supplied for the un certainties on which speculation thrives. Not only was the rate to which the divi dend was to e cut In doubt, 1 per cent quarterly representing the lowest esti mates, but also the effect on the market for the stock of any given rate declara tions. The fall in copper, both In London and In New York, supplied additional In centives for conjecture and the coppers were forced to new levels during the day. This was true of some other stocks of first rate Importance. Including a number of railroad stocks. The announcement that stock sheets had aH passed successfully through the stock exchange clearing house relieved the mar ket from Its appearance of greatest de pression. Some of the buvlng that enmied was apparently due to the covering of some heavy short lines of stocks and buying for the long account continued under much re straint. The rise In the call money rate waa connected wHh the disturbance In the copper stock and tn calling of loans prompted by the unsettled effect of that disturbance. Discounts In London were In clined to advance and the weekly statement of the Bank of England showed measures In force by that establishment to strengthen control of Ihe money market and make Its own rate effective there. There was talk of probable rise In the discount rate of the Imperial Bank of Germany and a failure r soma importance in Hamburg was an Incident of the day. Foreign exchange was not effected here and rates were unchanged from yestordav. A sharp break In the prices of wheat and corn was looked upon as promising Increased takings for foreign ac count, with probable effect In the foreign exchange rate. Prices showed a rallying tendency even after the announcement of the reduction In the Amalgamated Copper dividend. Bonda wars easier.' Total, nar values. $2,002,000.
