ATTEMPTS TO ADVANCE PRICES FAIL Ranters of ( haaae I. I. eh la h aad t ., H. It. lease a. Advance I. Maay Hallraad Issaes aether Rise la Amalgamated Copper. NEW YORK, le-. 15. The subsidence of speculative activity In stock was very marked today, the total sales for the day making u smaller total than for several montne. A dull and sluggish market Is the normal consequence of such a shaking up as prlcea have recently sustained ano the postponement of this sulisidetice has been the cause of some surprise. It was evi dent that the urgency of liquidation whs greatly moderated and practically com pleted, but attempts to force price upwanl met with continual checks. The absence of any selling pressure left the price level constantly atove lat night and afforded encouragement to persistent renewals of the advance. A the opening the rise was most pro nounced and the market most animated, largely on account of a reversal of views which caused the sharp relapse In yester day's late market. But the sensitiveness then demonstrated that the light current of rumor waa a strong factor In the spirit of caution that ruled throughout. The course of Amalgamated Copper was still of dominant Influence, and Its advaui-e brought quick response at other points in the list. Coalers were conspicuous fea tures In the opening advance, particularly Reading, the favor shown that group being due to flattering reports of conditions In the coal Industry. The belief that the new control of the Cincinnati, Hamilton Day ton avstem waa destined for the benefit or Erie helped that stock, as well a the coaler generally. Revised mtnef" of the disposal of Iehlgh Navigation also played a part In that particular movement. The Metropolitan Traction group was affected hy the announced Intention to enter on subway projects In New York City and the simultaneous depression ot tnternorougn Rapid Transit on the curb was attributed to the name cause. The UniteM States Steel stock". especially the preferred, were steadily accumulated. Trade reports were of very large orders for various lines of finished prodncta, Including steel rails. The successful conclulnn of the lndon stock market settlement, about which ome anxiety had beenfclt. was helpful to this market. Negotiations were In progress looking to gold shipment to Berlin ana there was a small engagement for South America. Money was both easy for call loans and on time, and confidence waa felt that with the lightened demand for specu lation In the stock market there waa no danger of any stringency In the future so far a descried. The midden online gave rise to some rumor that some Important development was hanging over the market, such as a decision In the Northern Securi ties case or a more definite formulation of the administration plan of dealing with the regulation of railroad freight rate. In the same vague category waa the supposition that assistance had been extended to a financial Institution, which rumors yester day weakened the late stock msrket. The tone of the market continued up to the last, but the closing was steady and consider able advances for the day resulted. Honda were dull and Irregular Total sales, par value. $3,235,000. United State bonds were unchanged on call. The Quotation on the New York stock exchange ranged a follows: Sale. High. Low.Clo".

Trains were a little more prompt In arriving than they have been for tne last two days, hut still they delayed the market to some extent. The market on cornfed steers could not bo quoted anything but dull and weak to a alme lower. Unfavorable reports were re ceived from other points tint puckers con tinued their bearish tactics Even the bet ter grades did not srll readily at shaded prices. A com pu red with the close of hut week, common to fair cattlo are around 25ii3c lower nnd the choicer grades have been so ex-arcc that It la hard to tell how much lower they un, but probably 10c to 2iju would cover the decline on good to choice cattle such as packer curl use for their Christmas trude. It wus late today before anything like a clearance whs made. The cow market was also slow mid lower. The common and medium grades of cows are fully 2.Vfi35c lower and In some cases sales have been mode as much 11s 4oc luwcr than the same kinds were selling for at the close of last week. Packers do not seem to rare for anything but the cholcist grades and consequently will not take the commoner kinds unices they can get them at a low figure. Salesmen were forced to carry over quite n few from yesterday be cause none would buy them. At n late hour today there were still a good many cow In llrsl hands, with trading very slow. Feeding built have held nearly stendy all the week, but fat bulls are slow and lower. Rest venl en Ives are about steady, but oth ers slow and lower. The demand for stockers and feeders was again limited this morning and with the exception of a few of the choicest grades the market showed a decline from yester day of 6!il0c.
