HuUod's ivire say?: Boston had quoted . but .15 stocks up to 1 o'clock today. There is, however, an, under current of strength in the coppered ! The copper producers' statement of yesterday showing a reduction of 1,700/trto pounds in net stock of copper in the face of a 9.000,000 pound increase In production should have a. stimu latinc . effect upon the copper metal, market, which later Kboulii be reflected in the copper shares market. The refinery production of 127.000.0<V) pound* for the month of August practically represents the. output of the mines for Jun*. when- there was very little, if any. curtailment in output; therefore, the August statement should show the largest month's pro duction for many months to come. Tne Commercial Times prints: Th<* directors of the Parrot copper and silver mining company have declared a dividend of 15c. \u25a0 payable. Sep. tember 26. Transfer books close September 12 and reopen September 23. . The declaration of a dividend is the result of the consolidation of the. company's property with the Anaconda. The Anaconda stock is the only hfsH which the Parrot company now h«F. This is the first dividend which the company ha« paid since 1807. when 75c was distributed. Previous divi dends -were 50c In 1902, $1 in 1904. $2 in 1905. 51.25 In l©o6. Cp to the latest distribution the company had paid a total of $6,807,260 in dividends.. The Anaconda is making some important changes ar its Great Fall? smelter. There will bf no actual enlargement of the' smelting plant, but the blast furnaces are being coupled up and thereby made larger. New rcvorbcra tory furnaces of the . Washoe type are being, in stalled. For fomc time Anaconda has been ex perimenting at the. Washoe smelter* with Mon tana coal 'and deep" fires to take the place of the shallow flret. aDd long flames produced from Diamondville coal. The results have been satis factory. . Conditions at the North Butte property are flowlj- improrlrg and shipping ores are now coming from many more points in the mine than at any time in Hb history. •' The ore rto?? not run 6 per. cent, S p«*r cent and !> per cent copper a« formerly, but it is good shipping ore and official declaration is that the company is earning good profits. The North Butte out put under th* curtailment is about 2.0A0.000 pounds p»r month. The following list it furnished by E. F. Hut ton & 0., 490 California street, San Francisco: Bid. Ask.i • liid. Ask.
