Copper stocks slide amid cautious Wall Street trading
Wall Street moves lower on September 22 as copper shares falter despite gains in Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. Rumors of dividends on Southern Pacific preferred stock spurred initial activity, but doubts and London delivery talk cooled the market. Boston copper stocks remained weak with Amalgamated and Copper Range slipping, while New York saw seesawing within a narrow range and traders eyed the copper outlook for 1905.
