CURB STOCKS.

J. a. Minnear & Co say today;
Copper shares monopolized interest
today in all markets and when final
quotations came, showed considerable
advances. The buying of large lots of
copper at 10 cents, said to be for the
Rothschilds, started the movement and
while the public interest was too great
1t was necessary to bid prices up
sharply in order to get stocks. Buying
orders were at hand on all sides and
sellers were few and far between AM
algamated was the leader. selling up
two points higher from the close yes
terday to $64 Lake, Calumet and
Arizona. Copper Range and Allouez
were in big demand. The New York
list was duh but firm. Trading i'm the
local list todapy was quite heavy and
at higher prices. Hancock was up two
points to $2th. Indiana was also
strong, selling at 1Oh. New Keystone
closed at "a bid. Maynower and Old
Colony attracted some attention lat
higher figures, We look to see further
interest i'm copper shares and believe
they will do much better.

This raised a storm. one woman said:

away from us?"
Another declared:

punish him"

made out as the judge directed.
