BREAKING A MONOPOLY.

A cable company which possesses a
monopoly OF the telegraph business in
Newfoundland has notified Marconi,
the inventor of the wireless telegraph
system, that he must not make fur
ther attempts to signal across the
Atlantic. This company claims the
exclusive right to transmit telegraphic
messages from Newfoundland and to
receive ali messages winch are brought

appliances ana abandons his work,

from the Newfoundland cour.s and
will also sue him for damages.

have capital invested In submarine
cables should be alarmed at the pos
sibility that wireless telegraphy may
soon reduce the cables to q condition
''inuoeuous desuetude." 1t is easy
TO understand their feelings. The own
ers OF stage coaches were not happy
when steam railroads were proved to
be practicable. Very recently there
has been an agitation In London
against the more extended use OF
electric cars. which will undoubtedly
drive the obsolete omnibus out of
business. Even at this late day the in
PRODUCTION in England of labor-saving
devices which have been used in the
United States for more than decade
has aroused the opposition OF many
workingmen.
IL Marconi can adopt wireless tele-
graphy to commercial needs, nothing
can save the submarine cables. They
will inevitably take their place with
the stage coach and the crude devices
which our forefathers used In their
factories. If wireless telegraphy Is
perfected and used as substitute for
the cables 1t will be a satisfaction to
know that there can be no monopoly
OF natures forces. At present some
cable companies enjoy exclusive
rights. That will be impossible with
the Marconi system and the Hertz
waves" ready at all times to bear
message to the uttermost parts OF the
world. There will be no wireless tele-
grapuy trust. for no corporation can
corner the waves--there are too many
of them.

THE COPPER MARKET.

For the last three or four months
the most disturbing factor IN the mar
)lets of this country and Europe has
heen copper, The absorption by the
Amalramated Copper company of the
Boston e. Montana, the Boston a.
Rutte and several other importane
companies was concluent with an IN
crease OF the capitalization or the
former to $l55. 900. 900, and after TINS
increase the shares sold at l3o ana
continued to hover GDout that point for
some time. This represented mar
ket value OF S201 100000. Last sum
mer divaend of + per cent was de-
cIared insteaA of per cent, which
had been paid before, and which II
was supposed would be continued. This
preciptated a sharp decline in the
stock and from that time to this 1t mas
been on the down grade until II mas
touched 81 rs. Ihis made the mar
ket value less than 100000, 900. Until
last week the price OF copper was
maintained In this country, although
IL had fallen off CONSIDERABLY in Lon
don. or course, this condition could
not last and a reduction was an
nounced last week of from ! IL to j
"A cents q pound, which left Ameri-
can prices still above those prevailing
at London. A London dispatch says
that the copper market rs still
governed by mysterious influences the
genesis of which even the dealers are
unable to fathom,' and that 1t Is be-
lieved In many quarters that the most
important London houses consider the
present prices TO be justified by the
az ,ual and prospective demand for
copper"
Copper has assumed a position OF
such vast Importance In international
commerce, that It's fluctuations have a
profound influence upon the general
course OF the markets. The greatest
money forces on both sides of the
Atlantic-the Rothschilds, Rockefellers
and other giants of finance~-are large
" interested in copper, and It's recent
antics are believed to be largely due
to manipulation. The fact appears TO
pe that the Amalgamated companys
program contempla, Led the entire con-
troll of the copper market Of the
world. an undertaking too vast for
even the aggregation of multimillion-
aires who control that corporation to
accomplish. But to what extent the
collapse In it's securiues Is due to
economic causes and to what extent
10 manipulation. even the best au
thorities are unable to say. One thing
appears to be certain. and that Is there
