BASKET BALL.
Another Victory for Co. D.

|
Co. D landed another game last Fri
day. Eleven points awarded on fouls
enabled them to win hard fought con-
test from the ALL ollegians by score OF
% to 10.
1t was a rough-house game all the
way through and record breaker on
fouls. Not less than AZ were called in
45 minutes ofplay. On account of this
continual fouling the game was some
what slower than usual. Yet the fans
allow they got their moneys worth.
There was but little scoring done in
the first period. The visitors came in for
three baskets while the home team made
most of their points on fouls. The
period ended with the score tied, II.
Because of being little rougher than
the rule allows, Crowell an All-Collegian
guard, was ordered from the floor i'll the
second period, but after five minute
conference he was permitted to return
and finished the game at center In this
period Beck and Ellis made themselves
conspicuous by some clever basket
throwing. Fouls were less numerous in
the last period and the work of both
teams much faster. Some difficult shots
were made by the visitors.
Beck, Ellis and Miller did all the scor
ing for Co. D. Thompson and Carr also
played good game, the latter covering
his man in championship style. Hender-
son and Keogh did good work for the
All-Collegians.

COPPER SINKS STILL LOWER.
Rest of Market Buoyant After the Li-
 quidatiOn

New York, Sept 13.-The stock
 market to-day showed clearly enough
 the disturbing effect of the disclosures
 of yesterday regarding the copper
 trade. Until the force of these infu-
 ences had partially passed, opening
 the way to the buoyant recovery, the
 market was in great confusion. The
 stocks in which the disturbance cen
 tered sold lower than they did in Au
 gust. The conspicuous examples were
 Amalgamated Copper, American
 Smelling and United States Steel. As the session progressed the market Igave unmistakable evidence that the
 liquidation which had been effected
 was affording relief, The railroad stocks showed a marked contrast still
 with the extreme weakness of the con- |pers and mining and metal stocks gen.
 erally, the declines in that portion of the list not reaching wide figures at any time. Selling of the copper stocks
 bore the marks of forced Iiouidation
 and it was generally supposed that some heavy loans on these securities
 were in course of retirement The
 usual rumors of financial embarrass-
 ment accompanied the selling of this
 character and had not little to do
 with the uneasiness prevalent. Senti-
 ment over the significance of the con-
 per situation was not so hopeless as
 wasprofessed yesterday and there WAS
 not lacking a feeling that the course
 of action proclaimed yesterday might represent the shortest path to correc- ton of the deadlock in the trade. Af- fairs on the Philadelphia stock ex- change were reported quiet to-day and effective support was offered at
 the weak points of yesterday thus re- moving one of the troublesome fac
 tors of yesterday. Boston continued
 to play large part in the liauida- ton in the copper group. The weak
 ness of these stocks was aggravated by announced reduction In dividends of two other minor companies engaged in mining copper, Owing to the small
 effect produced Sn the railroad stocks
 by the slump in the coppers, they were in position of advantage to profit
 from the recovery in the market when the pressure against the coppers sub sided. Forecasts of the bank state ment helped to confirm the growing feeling of confidence in the money sit
 uation. Large exports of cotton and breadstuffs make a liberal supply of exchange and keep up an assurance
 that gold could be secured for import
 to relieve any real strain of the money market. The vigorous rally
 which transformed the market from it's early depression into buoyant
