IN THE WORLD OF FINANCE
GIANT COPPER COMBINE (
WILL BOOST UP PRICE.
Guggenheim's Return from Eu..
rope Starts Machinery.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The formation
of a giant copper combine to force
down the cost Of producing the metal
and boost UP the price of the finished
product. will be begun within the nexs
few days. The return of Daniel Gug4
genheim from Europe has set the mas
chinery in motion. ss
The combination of the Guggenheim
interests and the Amalgamated- Cole
Ryan properties would give the Gugt
genheims practically the control of the
worlds copper supply, as they are in a
position to dictate terms to the Amal+
gamated interests.
The massing of the interests would
result in a 1914. 00O, 900 p p trust ana
give the combination control of between
eve n eight. hundred million pounds.
of copper annually. =
The Guggenheims are in a position
to direct the combine more or less, as
the mining on their properties is conz
fined to porphyry copper, which can be-
scooped from the hillsides in the rough
at a cost of from Ia to 8 cents a pound.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-The wheat mar
ket was weakened today by bearish
advices. crop news from Ar
gentina and Australia being decidedly
favorable and offerings from Russia lib
eral. Trading at the start was heavy,
but the selling pressure o subsidized
and the market became a dragging af-
fair. At the opening prices were Is to "
lower, with December at 106 to 1868
During early trading the price held
within that range.
Unsettled weather in the corn belt
was the chief influence affecting the
corn market. Sentiment in the pit was
somewhat bullish, although the heayi-
ness of wheat tended to restrain buyers.
The December delivery opened a shade
to u higher, at 6sss to 59%@%. After
touching 59A, the price then dropped
back to 5sh@h.
Oats were quiet and easy, the weak
ness of wheat being the principal fac
tor in the situation. The December OPP
ton opened a shade lower, at 3sA @9s,
and sold off to 1914.
Fresh advances we're made in provis-
ions as a result of the unusually light
receipts of live hogs throughout the
West the last few weeks. January
pork was especially strong, and adj
vanced 45c from yesterdays final fig
ures. Prices at the start were un-
changed to Is higher.
The wheat market was heavy all
day and became extremely weak in the
final hour on weekend liquidation.
December sold off from 1861 to 1861

WALL STREET NOTES.

E=
NEW YORK. Nov. B-Narrow money.
resources have kept the speculation UNI.
der restraint this week.. The substan.5.
tial regeneration effected by the Bank
of England did not wholly quiet app
%prehension in foreign money markets.
Exports of gold from New York and
renewed demands from the interior DEE
pleted the slender banking surplus and
necessitated some calling of loans Ths
coming congressional program was the
occasion of some disquiet and the de-
mands for increased wage made by
railroad employees suggested a prob
lem to be met. Coppers showed strength
on reports of large buying for export
and rumors of a coming combination OF.
the principal producers. NJ
- IS
Uptown Sentiment-After the usual
forecasts of the bank statement were
made public Friday afternoon reprez
sentatives of some of the largest COM
mission houses in the Street did not
seem to be any more apprehensive re-
garding the money market than they
did before 1t became known that the
local banks had suffered further heavy
losses In their operations with the subj
treasury n with the interior banks.
These interests expressed the opinion
that money would be forthcoming from
somewhat unexpected sources in suffi
cient volume to meet all the demands
for loans and TO keep rates at about
) or 6 per cent. for the maximum, with
the probability of a somewhat lower
figure being established a little later.
They stated positively that they did not
look for any serious trouble in connec-
ton with the money market and
thought that the stock market would
hold firm and show a tendency to inn
prove on further accumulation OF
stocks for the account of large inter-.
ests. H.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The cotton
market opened steady at unchanged
prices to a decline of s points in re-
sponse to disappointing cables, but raj
lied to about the closing figures of last
night during the. middle of the morn
ing on covering for over the weekend.
The leading bulls seemed to be giving
the market no aggressive support, but
the weather was very unsettled in the
Southwest, where there had been talk
of top crop development, and the week
end figures showed a comparatively
small increase in the visible supply of
American cotton.
The market closed steady, with prices
net 4@12 points higher.

Save that John Ruskin would not

But Blake, after graduating, fell on
