Dec. 13. —The Stock Ex change spent another bad half hour after the opening of the session to day. Prompt and vigorous measures were adopted by powerful capitalists to avert a disaster and the headlong downward plunge of prices was almost immediately checked. The whole market showed a close sympathy with Amalgamated Copper throughout, and it was the determined support of that stock against the opening pressure that gave force to the supporting measures elsewhere after the first plunge. Amalgamated Copper fell back to last night’s level for a moment after opening a point higher, but when it was perceived that it would not yield below 50 the whole market bounded resilently. Copper Dominated. This stock again demonstrated its effective dominating power of the mar ket in the last hour of the trading. At that time a level of prices had been attained for the principal market lead ers from 1 to 2 points, above last night. Amalgamated Copper itself had risen 514 over the final price of yesterday. It was its abrupt relapse of over 2 points which gave the market Its sud den chill again. When the sudden reversal in the movement of Amalgamated Copper was seen to be a false start, there were recoveries a'most as sudden as the reaction.

' Nome Big Declines. The break at the opening coat the price level quite generally from 1 to 3 points. There were much larger de clines in some stocks, but they were not representative of the active list. Lackawanna lost 15 points in this way, Pullman 7 and American Express 5. These were generally recognized as due to the relinquishment of measures used to force a few stocks of this class to an unwarrantably high level for effect on the speculation in the general mar ket. The morning break had the result of making some prices lower than those of the- low point on Thursday last, but it could not be said that the average level of the market fell below that point. Money was very easy and was not a factor in the market. Bonds decline l early but showed some recovery. Total sales, par value, $7,240,090. United States bonds were unchanged on the call.
