Conner Trade Rooms,


One of the sensational features OF
the day was the remarkable develop
ment OF the copper trade. The Unit
ed Metals Selling company reports a
sharp advance in the price. Copper
which they would have gladly sold
10 days ago at 1914 pound com
manded to 1872 and q yesterday
During October the sales of this com
pany had been between S0,000,000 and
9O,0O0.O0O pounds of copper. The
bulk Of the sales had been for eX-
port, so that up to last night it is es-
timated that on foreign deliveries
during November and December there
will be a return exceeding $8,OOO,00O
in gold. Sales by other copper inter
ests have been prOpOrtionately large
Wall Street Normal Again.
That the story of the New York
bank runs may now be written in a
concluded chapter of financial history
was the conviction stoutly expressed
in Wall street when the banking day
ended.
Wall street has resumed its nor
NAL condition and the thin line OF
depositors waiting at the Trust Com
pany of America ceased even to draw
the attention of the usual tnrong in
the financial thoroughfare, which
scarcely paused in its passing.
Reports from trust companies all
over the city state that normal con-
ditions obtained and that incipient
runs on several minor companies
failed TO develop.
Gold Coming From London.
The Importation of $170OO,O00 in

effect. 1t means that credit can be

serve law to the amount of Sos, 0O0,-
coo and that the banks will be in a
position to keep their cash reserves
intact, even against considerable
mands. The fact that the exchange
rate returned so quickly in favor OF
this country and that gold was so
readily obtained is accepted as an in

New York, Oct 29.-The principal
events in the financial district yester-
day indicated that the worst Of the
crisis is over and that conditions are
settling down to the normal There
were no further bank suspensions
and reports were favorable for the
resumption Of most of the banks
which closed temporarily last week.
The engagement of $18,750,OO0 Oh
gold from Europe for importation to
New . ork was followed by the sensa-
tional announcement Of sales OIL
American copper abroad which VIII
further increase the tide Of fCreigh
money to this country to an aggre-
gate of over $25 O00 900. This, with
the rapid rise OF good securities on
the stock exchange, in some cases
as much as four and five per cent,
which was naturally followed by a
slight reaction at the close and the
policy of trust companies not to pay
out currency Tor boarding purposes,
all contributed to strengthen feeling
in banking quarters and among the
public at large.
So well was the situation in hand
that there was no such scurrying
about of leading fnanciers and hasty
conferences as took place during the
closing days last week. J. Pierpont
Morgan was III touch with the sit
uation in his library on Thirtysixth
street, but did not find it necessary to
come down town.
Runs Practically Cease.
Runs upon banks practically ceased,

that they were unnecessary and IN

No "Phonetie Sense" In English.

No "Phonetio Sense" In English.
1t is because Of the havoc which the
present spelling has wrought In our
conceptions OF the proper representa-
ton OF sounds that the English race, as
race. has lost largely the phonetic
sense. Dictate to dozen educated Ger
mans or Italians a passage containing
a large proportion OF words they have
never heard before. II the pronuncia-
ton has been clearly conveyed. they
will all spell them the same way and
Will all spell them correctly. Try q
similar experiment with dozen Eng
fish speaking persons OF the very high
est cultivation-in the number 1t would
be desirable TO have certain presidents
or our leading universities included.
Not only would they all be fairly GER
tain to spell the same words different
~, but the same man would represent
the same sound In different instances
by different signs. The reason Is OBJ
vious enough. In German or Italian
the same sound Is invariably conveyed
by the same letter or by the same COM
bination OF letters. In English the
writer would have an indefinite num-
Der OF letters or combinations to select
from, with no exclusive value attached
to any Of them.-T. II. Lounsbury In
