THE WORST IS OVER
Banking Conditions in New York
Becoming Normal.
RUNS UPON eANKS CEASE

Engagement Of sts75o,ooo In Gold
From Europe and Heavy Sales OF
Copper Assist In Further Reston
Ing Confidence.
New York, Oct. 29-The principal
events in the financial district indi-
Gated 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 resumption OF most
u the banks which closed temporarily
last week. The engagement of SlS.'o0'-
900 In gold from Europe for importa-
ton 10 New York was followed by the
sensational announcement OF sales OF
American copper abroad. which VIII
further increase the tide OF foreign
money 10 this country to an sggre-
gate Of over $25,OOO.O00. This, with
the rapid rise OF good securities on the
stock exchange. in some cases follow
cd by slight reaction at the close.
and the policy of the trust companies
not to pay out currency for boarding
purposes. all contributed to strengthen
the feeling in banking 0arters and
among the public at large.
Runs upon banks practically ceased,
partly because recognition that they
were unnecessary and unjustiiable,
and partly because Of the policy adopt
ed 70 pay large checks only in ceru-
fed checks on depositary banks. This
system Of payment worked no appar-
ent hardship and was the cause OF very
little protest Small checks were paid
promptly in currency. and larger
amounts where It was demonstrated
that currency was required for pur-
poses other than boarding. 1t Is still
possible for a frightened deposition to
transfer his account from one insutu-
ton 10 another by depositing check
in the depository for which he now
has a preference. but he cannot with
draw large amounts in gold certificates
to be locked in q safe deposit vault as
was the case last week
One OF the sensational features OF
the day was the remarkable develop
ment In the copper trade. The United
Metals Selling company reports a sharp
advance in the price. Copper, which
they would have gladly sold ten days
ago at 1914 cents pound, commanded
1919 to 1884 cents a pound. Dur
ing the month of October the sales OF
this company had been between So
600 900 and sO.OOO.OOO pounds OF cop
per. The bulk of the sales have been
for export.
