There la some manipulation lu Hmelters. but out side of this, trading la confined to Hour traders. ' The New Y’ork Commercial: It waa said dnting tbe troublous time* In the stock tnnrket that the reason there were no fail ures reported was that stock bouses, as a rule, bad quit speculating on their own ac count. and satisfied themselves with doing a safe and conservative commission busi ness. According to reports In circulation In Wall street, however, many houses have not kept clear of the market, tbe conse quence being that sometimes when custom- era have applied for their profits, the lat ter have not been forthcoming, they hav ing been added to tbe losses of tbe brokers. The story was circulated Tuesday that a short account of 20,000 shares lu Erie was' covered In this market on Monday, but that the buying on this account was offset by tbe liquidation of a corresponding amount of, stock In Loudon on behalf of uu exhausted American operator. The cover ing of the short account made tbe stock juore plentiful here, but the effect was Ibeutrallied by the other occurrence. “Dealing In tbe copper stocks of lafe has been doue mainly on rumors," said au ex tensive operator Tuesday, "but It will unt be long before we will have facts nml t -furca which will aid the market mate- ally.** Friends of American Smelting are pajlent and are not worrying. They maintain that tbe dividend on the common will lie raised to 10 per cent, and that this la enough to jnatlfy buying.

Bache .4 Co.: The stock market was extremel* dull today. The trading was reduced to a minimum, with fluctuations within narrow limits. At the start tho prlcci were higher with some covering in Copper, Union Pacific and Reading, The buying power, however, soon pe. tered out and prices sagged through sheer dullness. Traders were waiting for a cue from the big people, but get ting none, lasted on their oars. A noon the Copper dividend was an nounced. It was the regular quarterly disbursement. Copper, which wns hari at the opening, did not get out of Its rut on tho announcement, but rule! quiet with a heavy tone. Late In the afternoon prices hardened on shot covering, but the rallies were feeble. Specialties were flrm In tho afternoon dealings. Northwest advanced 2 1-1 per cent, while there was some cover ing In Erie second preferred. The spec, ulntlvo rule, never "sell a dull market." guided the traders, and a covering movement characterized the late deal Ings. The market la In a waiting at titude, and It Is the better part of wls. dotn to do nothing until a distinct ten dency la manifested. • ; ^ J MINING 8TOCK8. THE METAL MARKET. New York.
