terday whether the testimony before the
Puto committee on Wednesday correctly
reflected the conditions In the copper
market that existed at the time covered
by the inquiry. Mr.. Ryan replied:
1t is assumed in many of the questions
(of Mr.. Untermyer) that the company
had accumulated an exceptional amount
of copper which II was carrying for the
purpose of sustaining high prices that
prevailed In the early months Of 1907.
AS matter Of fact, the company had
nor so heavily as it did In the months
preceding the March panic in 1907.
consumers had bought so far ahead or
their needs that following the first panic
ensuing, all demand on the part OF con-
sumers naturally ceased until the copper
purchased by them had been manu-
featured and marketed.
There would obviously have been no use
IN breaking the market for the metal vio-
lently when there was no demand at all
for 1t, and 1t would have been an act Of
bad faith to the manufacturers Of copper
at the preceding high rates II the com
pany had done this. The effect would
have been the probable ruin of many OF
the manufacturers. and as the company
guarantees all sales made by II, the loss
would have been sustained In the end by
the company itself. AS most of the cop
per was sold for delivery in future
months, the company could not have pro-
tected Itself on IT'S deliveries at the con-
tract price IL the manufacturers were
unable to meet their obligations.
To seek to produce the impression that
the reduction In the price OF copper late
In October, 1907, was the cause of the
drop In prices OF Amalgamated Copper
stocks is Ignoring all the conditions then
existing and surrounding not only the
copper business and the kmalgamated
stock, but stocks and businesses OF every
kind that broke and collapsed In the
disastrous panic OF 1907

here last night from the Cunard liner
Mauritania and the new French steam
ship. the France, the English flyer is
holding a lead of 223 miles over her
french rival. The France and the Maui
retania, both equipped with four screws
and engines capable OF developing a
speed OF twenty-four knots, are the fast
est passenger carriers In the world.
Both left their respective European
ports last Saturday, the commanders hav-
ing instructions to make port II possible
tonight The liners were hit hard by
westerly gales and high head seas, but
Notwithstanding this each has made good
time. II was thought, until the wireless
reports were received last night, that both
liners would easily make port this after
noon. The Mauretania, coming over the
short course, has even landed her pas
sengers on Thursday night heretofore.
A lively race eastbound between these
steamships Is expected next week. as both
leave this port Tor Europe on December

however. that that was merely an esti-

Rival Exchanges.

The relations Of the New York Stock
Exchange and the Consolidated Stock
Exchange came in for share OF Mr..
Sturgis's attention following the ex-
animation of half dozen members OF
the Consolidated Exchange, who de-
clared that the Stock Exchange rules
forbade its members TO do business
with Consolidated brokers or any one
connected with the Consolidated Elk
change.
Mr.. Sturgis asked to be allowed 10
nal,e a statement on this point. He
said the Consolidated had always been
competitor Of the Stock Exchange
and sometimes the feeling OF rivalry
grew bitter. He went on TO say that In
1908 the Stock Exchange tried to force
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany 10 withdraw from the Consolidat-
ed Exchange two stock tckers over
which the Western Union was deliver
ing New York Stock Exchange quota
