PANIC in COPPER STOCKS
LARGE BLOCKS THROWN ON THE
MARKET BY SCARED HOLDERS.
Another sharp Slump in Prices on the
New York Exchange-BOstOn
Heavy Seller.

NEW YORK, July 23.-There was a fur
ther decline in the stock market to-day, the
industrials being the most affected, but the
railroad list. including a number of high
grade issues. suffered in sympathy. A num-
Der of causes contributed to to-day's break.
In addition to adverse crop reports and
further wild speculation in cotton, a build
ing trade failure created a feeling of
alarm. The break of 514 points IN Amalga-
mated Copper is rather more far-reaching
than is generally supposed. Much of the
stock was purchased outright at prices
fully so points above to-day's quotations.
and the shrinkage to-day was as a last
straw to many holders. Large quantities
of Copper were thrown overheard at prac-
tically any price that was offered. Boston
according to all accounts was forced to
let go at least 10000 shares. and the same
doubtless applies in a lesser degree to
numerous other places. Sales of Amalga-
mated Copper aggregated over $1,000 shares
out of total days business of 650. 900
