The meteortc advance in copper occas-
ioned by the legitimate demand for the
metal at home and abroad las proved
an effective though specialized factor in
sustaining the prices OF copper and
smelling securities. The enhanced price
of the metal has bred suspicion in the
public mind that an attempt is max
ing to corner the market, for the under
lying causes of the advance are too
generally recognized to leave room for
this suspicion. Briefly stated, these are:
The electrifcation of railroads at home
and abroad, and the extension of the
field of utility for copper consequent
and the adapta tion of electricity to new
utilitarian purposes; the shutting off of
the japanese and Russian domestic pro-
duCtiop OF the metal oCcasioned by the
war; the demand for copper on the part
of both the belligerents for military and
naval purposes.

OF THE STOCK MARKET
NEW YORK.

The history of the week may be
teTsely summarized in the statement
that four days Of continuously advanc-
Ing prices were succeeded by two days
of reaction; but it should be added that
the irregular price movement of Thurs
day and Friday has failed to loosen
many bricks in the slSyscraping struc-
ture. The market, considered as a
whole, stands today several points in
advance of last Fridays closing fig
ures, and although its legitimate pow
ers Of absorption have been sorely tried
by the frantic and partly successful at
tempt of the syndicate to bolster Read

Chica December IS.-Three of the
largest financial institutions in the

able Trust Company, all controlled by
John r. Walsh CT this city, and in o
great measure owned by him, sus'
pended operations today. Their al
fairs will be liqudated as rapidly as
possible and they will go out OF busi-
ness. Walsh, who was president OF
the Chicago National and of the EquiI
able Trust Company, and all other
officers and all directors Of the Chica
"a National have resigned. National
Bank Examiner Bosworth succeeded
Walsh at the head of the Chicago Ma
tional, and the places of the directors
have been filled by men appointed by
the Chicago Clearing house. Back OF
the new management stand the allied
banks of Chicago who have pledged
their resources that every depos!tor
shall be paid to the last cent, ana that
no customer of any one of the three
institutions shall lose anything by rea-
son of the suspension,
Had not this action been taken by
the banks of the city disastrous
panic must have followed in the finan
eal world, AS it was, the only ef
feet on the financial world in this city
was The decline on the local stock
exchange Of 2la in price Of National
Biscuit Company's common stock. The
Biscuit company had employed the
Equitable Trust as transfer agent and
had besides dealings with the Chicago
National, but it is not affected by the.
failure in the slightest degree
The closing of the two banks had
the effect also of shutting off all de-
mand on local exchange for bank
stocks, none of them being purchased,
The immediate cause of the collapse
of the institutions controlled by Walsh
is said to be the large amount of money
which they have loaned various pri
yate enterprises of his, notably the
Southern Indiana Railway, and Bed
ford Quarries company Of Indiana.
