Another Account Of Riot.
What appears to be the most all.
thentic account is given by a mining
man coming direct from there. There
is an ancient Indian custom, which is
still in vogue among the native Indian
miners of that section, and known as
the dance "Matachines." These
dances take place this time of the
year. A procession is formed by a
number of people dressed in gro
tesque costumes of gaudy colors and
large feathers in their hair.
AS these figures parade the streets
they are joined by the whole popu-
lace. who follow in the rear. A life
sized image of Christ and heavy
wooden cross are taken from the
church. These are carried on the
shoulders of the strongest men and,
, after promenading around for time,
! they congregate in front of the church
and dance to music in sort of hilarl-
GUS Indian fashion. Il
The officers at Velardena received
orders from the higher authorities to
prohibit such performances this year.
/ The orders were given but neverthe-
less at the usual hour the procession
started and the officers attempted to
stop it. The priest interfered, at
tempting, it is said, to intercede in
behalf of those forming the process
sion. He was placed in Jail and the
crowd dispersed. In the evening the
mayors house was burned and the
Jail broken open and the priest set
at liberty.

MARKET MOVEMENTS
Of THE DAY

New York Nov. 15.-The upturn in
the prices of stock in today's market
had its start in the greatly strength
ened position OF the banks as dis
closed by the bank statement on Sat
urday and in the coroborative evil
dence of the rumors of a coming cop
per combination embracing most Of
the worlds great producers and SELL
ers of that metal. The action Of the
copper securities was in itself strong
~ confirmatory of these runors. and
the continuance of conferences among
the leading interests concerned point
ed To the same conclusion.
The rumors of the combination were
supposed tn include Il Capitalization
of control of the scale of copper. some
restriction of production and an in
crease in the price. which would. II
was asserted. be moderate and
coupled with restraint on the advanc-
ing as well as declining tendency of
the price.
The enormous profits realized out
of the constituent companies in that
formation was cited as a possible
precedent. The leadership of the
market swung into the copper indus
trials and there was excited spccula-
ton in them not only on the stock ex-
change, but in outside markets.
