Sharp drop in prices part of losses recovered
The London copper market saw Rio Tinto and American copper rise as copper shares advanced in New York before Amalgamated Copper and National Lead faced a sharp dividend cut from 4 to 3 per cent. National Lead blamed flax crop damage and high flaxseed prices for the decline, while Amalgamated Copper listed a regular 2.0 percent payout plus an extra dividend from its Boston and Montana subsidiary. Railroad shares and drought damage in Canada influenced stock movements as money markets show improving signs.
