SOME HISTORY IF COLLAPSES
 IN COPPER
Two Instances Recited Where In Effort to Corner the Pro- duct and Maintain Prices Was A Failure.

BOSTON. Sept. 20.--In 1899. when the famous Secretan syndicate col iapsed. there was an accumulation Ii the hands of this syEdicate of ao9nt s0e .ee0 GOO pounds of coare-'. out a. that time the worlds output was only 5eo, ,00e. .00o pounds. or one-third what 1t iA today. h view of the enormity of Ehis accumulation. conferences were held in Paris at which all of the iarge producers in the world were rep resented, and the final conclusion reached was that a restricted output must be enforced on pro rata basis. This was. of course. before the days when such 6 combination was prohib- ztsd by law, as is now the case.
 In the year 1889 copper sold as high as 1T 1-2 cents and with the col lapse Of the syndicate. the price was suddenly dropped to 10 cents, and it required six or seven years for the world 10 absorb the 400,O0O.0o0 pounds which had accumulated. The effort to enforce a cooperative and pro rata restriction of output, how ever. was a dismal iailu-e-
 The next violent smash in metal prices took place in 1901. when the Analgamared Co. and its affiliated interests sought to force the coasum- CTS into paying r cents for their sup plies. This attempt was followed by a repetition of the disastrous conse- quences which followed the collapse of tke Secretan pool. although the amount of the accumulation was Daach smaller and constituted less ahan g per. cent Of the worlds output at that period h this connection We gre In position to state for the first sixc2 the exact amount of the Anal gzmated accumulation, which was zs5. .e0o. 900 pounds.
 In tiSs years 1901 and 1902 copper sold as high as IT cents and as low as II cents. but by reason of the re vfvai in general business conditions waich for several years followed the break in copper prices, the accumu- satioa was licked up with surprising rspidity and disappeared so quickly as fo be almost a negligible factor in Ghe adjustment of metal prices.
 Today. by reason of the prostra- ffon of the wire business and the very much smaller volume of orders taken Tor all manner of electrical apparatus other lines of copper consumption being almost on a normal basis about 200 DOG, eco pounds of unsold copper has been put into stock aud 1Aese stocks, instead of being carried by the consumers and manufacturers are in the hands of the producers.

News Bureau Attacks The Methods Of United Metals
 Selling Company,
(Boston News Bureau.)

The United Metals Selling Co. ap- pears to have again blundered in the policy governing the sale of it's cop per.
 IL has announced various prices for lake and electrolytic without any knowledge that at the reduced figures any volume of business would be ere ated. The establishment of these fig ures has enabled competing producing and selling companies to undersell and to acquire what little business was offering. Tn result is that 75 per cent of the present accumulation of between 150,e00, 900 and 200,000. GOO pounds is either in the hands of this concern or is held in store by the mining companies fer whicn 1t sells,
 The Calumet & Hecla co. has been falsely accused of being the 6isturb- ing factor which pTecipitated the re- cent collapse in prices anu it has bSGn stated that the Calumet policy has been that of naming a concession and then looking for business at the re dnced price. This is absolutely con trary to the facts.
 The Calumet & Hecia was quick to detect the indications of a trade re action, and while it may not have been the first to do business at 9 price under the high figures ruling last spring, 1t quickly saw the hand writing on the wall, and instead Of announcing any price list, it sought by individual negotiation with the copper consumers on both sides of the water to sell as large an amount of copper as the market would take at the best price obtainabie.
 To be sure. the company has an excess supply on it shands today, and it Is selling copper right along and it is not taking the trouble to announce to It's competitors at what price or prices fl is willing to do business. When the United Metals Selling Co. or any other competing interest an nounced that fl would sell electrolytic for instance. at 22 cents, Calumet & Heela quickly but quietly jump'1 il and said that 1t would supply the best grade of Lake at the same figure.

TEN MILLION POUNDS
 OF COPPER SOLD
This Amount Brings t5 Gents A Pound,-MoSt Copper
 Stocks Advanced.
tBy Frank J. Graf.l

The markets opened strong with good demand for stock, which soon caused the advance in the majority of copper stocks. Actual sales of copper were transacted today, there being l0,G00,009 pounds sold at 15 cents per pound. Owing to the miserable wire service, the local market continues to be at standstill >with trading linn tied. Calumet & Arizona. North Butte, Greene Cananea. Superior & Pittsbnrg all gained during the day. but at the close there seemed to be a slight weakness. Most copper how ever closed above the low point. The New York market gained some strength during the day, but fell off at the close.

Greene Cananea and Superior & P1ttsburg opened firm and fractionally higher, closing at un- changed prices from yesterday. A slow market is locked for tomorrow with no material price changes.
 Bisbee curbs are dormant. fsw 2 any trades being made. There is a fair sized demand for wolverine & Arizona and Denn at fractionally low CT prices. Offerings are limited how ever, and stocks will advance easily on any demand. The market is bare of bids for Shattuek at anything like a fair price. likewise American and Warren.

home for the little brown people of the woods and shore.
 In the Malay home furniture is linn ited. In fact, there is hardly any, as the floor serves for seats, tables and beds. It is covered with soft, sweet smelling mats, made from grasses or. vegetable fiber,. and on these the fam fly sleep. In such warm climate bed covering at night is not needed. Thus the housewife's worry about bedding is not great.
 The culinary arrangements of Ma lay home, while much more advanced than those of the sea islands across the straits, are primitive. Staple ar ticles of diet are rice, yams, eggs and fish. Cooking is done out of doors, or under protecting shack of palm leaf in wet weather. A few primitive clay pots are the kitchen outfit Roasting is done over live coals, and of baking there is scarcely any, since bread is not part of the family diet
 Sweet cocoanut milk, from young nuts, is the chief drink of the people, tad enc ef the first cts of entertain ment when a visitor arrives is to send a boy up tree to throw down some young nuts to supply him drink of milk.
 The Malay women are good cooks. and are specially skilled in making fiery sauces and condiments They have all the materials for such work at hand, as the forest around them is rich in pepper, cloves and other spices, as well as in various sweet herbs.
 The dress of the Malays consists of a sort of petticoat wound around the waist, and tight jacket above it; fas- tened with buttons The women are skilled with the needle, and make very pretty embroidery in gold and silver thread. Both men and women are fond of introducing little gilt or col or into their clothing.
 Large families are common among the Malay people, and early marriages are the rule. Strangely enough, these brown men of the East are Mohamme- dans, their forefathers having become converts many centuries ago. Their marriage ceremony is according to that faith though some of their an cient rites survive, as, for example. the filing down of a girls teeth when she becomes engaged, and the dyeing of her finger nails and palms.

Among the most distinctive homes of the far East are those of the Ma laws who inhabit the island on which the British city of Singapore is built The town. beside the great marine highway between India and China, Is modern: the houses in the country a mile from it are as ancient as the his tory of the land itself. They have not changed in style in a thousand years, and probably will not in thousand more.
 On the Malay peninsula the weather is always warm and several months in the year it is rainy In such cli- mate house must be both light and waterproof. These two properties the natives secure with the simplest mate rials, ready to their hand in the lush forest growth all around them.
 They make the frames of their houses of light, strong trees, planting the timbers firmly in the ground. Be- tween the uprights are fitted squares of bark. reinforced with light slats of split bamboo, to which the bark is laced with roots of fiber
 The roof is matched, lightly, but in, a manner to keep out the heaviest downpour of rain, with the leaves of the atap palm which are laced in lay CTS to the rafters.
 The floor is made of split bamboo, laid flat side upward.
 The house, as in most eastern coun- tries except China and Japan, is rais- ed from the ground several feet, for the double purpose of keeping out damp and prowling beasts.
