WORST OF THE
CRISIS IS OVER
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AP-
PROACH A NORMAL STATE.
RUNS ON THE BANKS CEASE.
Many Millions of Gold from Europe
viii Soon Arrive in New York.
Big Sales Of Copper are Made
at Higher Prices.

New York, Oct 29.--The principal
events IN the financial district Mon
day indicated that the worst of the
crisis was over and that conditions
were settling down to normal. There
were no further bank suspensions
and reports were favorable for the re

some cases as much as or per

by slight reaction at the close. and
the policy of the trust companies not
TO pay out currency for boarding pur-
poses, all contributed TO strengthen
the feeling in banking quarters and

large checks only in certified checks
on depositary banks. This system Of
payment worked no apparent hard
ship and was the cause of very little
protest. Small checks were paid in
currency. and larger amounts where
It was demonstrated that currency
was required for purposes other than
boarding.
One of the sensational features of
the day was the remarkable develop
ment In the copper trade. The Uni.
ted Metals Selling Co. reported a
sharp advance in the price. Copper
which they would have gladly sold
ten days ago at 1914 cents a pound
commanded 1879 to 1884 cents a
pound on Monday. During October
the sales of this company had been
between S0,000.O00 and 10000 900
pounds OF copper. The bulk of the
sales have been for export, so that up
TO last night it is estimated that on
the foreign deliveries during Eoyem-
Der and December there will be re-
turn exceeding SS,000,000 in gold.
Sales by the other copper interests
have been proportionately large
