THE COPPER COLLAPSE
Principal Source Of Disturbance In
Stock Market Resulted In Low
est Quotations In Years.

New York, Oct. 21.--The principal
source Of the fresh disturbance in the
stock market last week was traced
finally to the copper world but before
the conditions had become sufficiently
well defined the financial district was
kept nervous by all kinds Of rumors
Of the nature Of the troIble that was
threatening. The result was ssen in
the range Of quotations established.
which presented the lowest for sew
eral years in considerable list Of
important stocks. Foreign money
centers were kept well supplied with
ali the alarming rumors current and
originated others on their own ac-
count, sending securities for sale to
this market meanwhile, and restrict
ing credits TO New York in Sry
ways. Under these circumstances
there was something like relief felt
when the circumstances became
known regarding the market position
in United Copper stocks and a futile
attempt to corner that stock and to
administer chastisement to the bear
party which had been interfering with
the liquidation in the stock. The re.
duction in the dividend on Amalga,
mated copper for the quarter from !
per cent naturally aggravated the bad
effect Of the United Copper episode
and successive reductions in the price
Of the metal kept open the root cause
Of the disturbance. The reduction In
the price Of the metal failed to bring
in any effective buying and the pos
sible limits Of the fall remained unde.
fined. Reports were In circulation Of
intended entire shutting down OF pro.
ductlon In the Montana mines. Fears
Of coming business contraction that
might run into depression were
stimulated by the course Of the cop
per trade and had some incentive also
in the advices from the iron and steel
trade.
