 With grave faces they assured the public that the real reason why copper was going up was because 1t was scarce, etc. To enforce their argument, as alleged, they advanced the price of copper metal one-eighth cent carrying the quotation for lake and electrolytic copper to 1873 cents pound.
 The Standard Oil people freely pre- dicted twenty cent copper and assured their friends in Wall street that Amal- gamated would go to 110 before New Years day. There was a wild scene around dRthe copper post when the new high record price for the stock was reached.
 A great many persons. scattered all over the country, are believed to have been, like Lawson. hard hit by the ex- traordinary advance against the short interest they had been encouraged to take by the Boston operator. Thou sands have been secretly selling cop per short under his advice.
