COP. Err MINES COMBINE.

The combination of few copper mine
owners, announced in the Inter Noun
tains dispatches yesterday, does not
seem to cut a very wide swath so far as
affecting the price of the red metal is con-
cerneG. 1t cannot be called trust for it
has not assumed the proportions Of a
trust It is rather the combining of a
half dozen or so copper industries in their
asgrandizement or benefit of all engaged
in copper mining. A copper trust which
can control the market must include al
the largest producers of the metal. The
great producers are not in the combine.
The Anaconda, the United Verde and the
Calumet ard Iiecla, the heaviest copper
producers in the world, do not figure in
it. It is the play of Hamlet With Hamlet
left out.
During the past year the demand for
copper has been extraordinary. This is
accounted for by the great extension of
! electrical energy in its application to in
dustrial uses. This demand is constantly
increasing, and will increase until the
maximum of electric power and light
shall be reached through human agencies,
and that will extend through the long dis
tant future. Copper miners will not be
forced into trusts or monopolies for their
own protection. They readily dispose of
all they can possibly produce at remuner-
ative prices without the forcing up pro-
cess of the trust. The demand is keeping
; pace with the supply, and a good margin
of profit is at the sellers hand The ext
gencies of the industry do not suggest the
formation of a copper trust monopoly
The combine, as now formed is not dan.

elements, in embryo, of monopoly which

The Harris woman then struck her

Della Dyson, living at 429 Cullinane's

women. She returned to the scene of the
disturbance with Mollie Harris, and found
the Queenan woman lying on the ground
She stated that Mollie told her that she

know that Mollie Harris had a knife, and
swore positively that she did not receive
one from her after the stabbing She, how
ever. saw Mollie with a knife in her pos

Tom Smoot, over whom the trouble is
said TO have arisen, and who was walking
down the alley with the Harris woman

Few Orders Received From Foreign

Pacific Railway Shares Rule at
About Yesterdays Closing Prices.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-The stock mar
ket in the early dealings was extremely
dull and irregular, changes resulted from
the limited trading. further recovery
was shown in the London stock market
following upon the apparently bettering
chances for pacific solution of the situa-
tion in South Africa, but foreign houses
had very few orders in this market.
There were no developments in the local
situation over night of character to at
tract attention or influence prices. The
stringency of yesterdays money market
was generally referred to as disappointing,
and apprehensions of high rates again to-
day served to restrict the rating.
The industrial quarter was the most ac-
tive division of the market, and, in the
main, was firm. National Lead common
was particularly strong and Federal Steel
and American Steel and Wire were steady
on fairly active dealings. The trading in
the railway list was in very light volume,
and resulted in slight and irregular fiuctu-
ations. Louisville and Nashville was de-
pressed at the opening of business but
1t later recovered. St. Paul, the Pacific
shares, and the other standard issues ruled
at about their closing prices of yesterday.
