The Copper Collapse.

NEW YORK, March lS.-The EUenng
Telegram says: Gables from Paris and
London point to the utter decentralization
of foreign copper syndicates. One dis.
patch reports hat the Compton DIES
Compile has %liquidated. No less a per.
son than NJ. Mechand. president of the
Bank Of France, has precipitated the
crisis. There is no longer any doubt
that the Societe des Metaux has gone 70
the wall, and the Compton des Compte
per consequence falls into the hands of a
receiver. A run began on the Bank OF
Paris. The great house of Tavandree &
Co, at Mons, has suspended. The la
bilities are way up in the millions. Nor
rison keekervich & Co., to whom 5000
o of copper we're deliverable, have
confessed bankruptcy.
LONDON, March lS.-The stock ex-
change opened firm to .day, but prices be-
came irregular this afternoon owing to
various rumors regarding the Societe des
Metaux and the Compton des Compile.
Rumors of a run on the Bank of France
were quickly denied, and all the markets
showed higher tendencies at the close.
New YORK, March 1S.-Throughout
the day excited calls from London and
Paris in reference to copper syndicate af-
fairs continued to pour in upon the metal
brokers here. The New York market,
however, has not been affected in the least
by the depression. There is no trading.
